Opening this thread to discuss legal ways to watch anime. Let me know if rules violated.

In Malaysia, there are very limited choices for us Malaysian to watch anime online (legal methods). Hence, VPN or browser plugin needed.

Personally I will go these websites to watch anime. (all legal btw)
US site
http://www.crunchyroll.com/ (huge library with English sub and sometimes dub as well)

China site
https://www.bilibili.com/ (Chinese sub, Bilibili has a mixture of legal and user uploaded content, their legal content is crowd funded in form of fans sponsors)

Taiwan site
https://ani.gamer.com.tw/ (Chinese sub, free user with ads)

Mind sharing how you guys watch anime? tongue.gif

Crunchyroll, Netflix, Funimation are what I can think off the top of my head, although those need vpn probably. Not sure local Netflix has as much anime in their library compare to their US counterpart.

And crunchyroll is kind of a scumbag from what I've read.

Steam also have some anime, but not for Malaysia.

Hopefully there will be a company that could make a steam-like service where instead of streaming and renting, you'd have an option to download real quality and buy those permanently. Also user uploaded subs

Local Netflix library is limited for sure, but if it's Netflix Original Content I'm sure it will available worldwide.

I didn't know anime is on Steam as well, lol blink.gif

If there is such service, it probably be region lock as well lol.

Let's hope there are local distributors bringing in anime to Malaysia/Sea. Iflix has some anime although extremely limited and outdated.

Just note that bypassing region restrictions is not legal either, especially when it involves copyrighted media. They have a right to terminate your account even if you pay for their subscription.

As for Steam, there is actually a limited amount of anime available for us to purchase, as in not region locked. You can just open Videos>Anime in your Steam client Store and see a few (last I checked there were 4 sadly). Hopefully more are coming our way.

Not 100% legal, still better than torrenting tho
