This website is an excellent resource for an anime fan. They post news about anime and manga, and provide a streaming service for anime. The site does have a premium membership available, which lets you skip adds and see simulcast episodes of anime and other content sooner, but just going to the site without signing up gives you access to many anime series, and access to current seasons delayed by a week.
The site also provides several streaming apps including one for the Kindle Fire, Android Devices, IOS, Xbox 360, and the Roku Streaming player. The apps I have used work pretty well and there are fewer advertisements than hulu plus. The ads typically run once before the show. This makes for a much more enjoyable viewing experience particularly for older series you may be running through. If you buy a subscription you don't even have to deal with the modest adds there are, unlike hulu plus where you buy a subscription and still watch the same ads over and over.
The site has a lot of content, but is not comprehensive. For example shows funimation has picked up do not seem to remain here. I personally have not bought a subscription but still frequent the site, and the app( on Roku and Android) to get my anime fix.
The only annoyance I have with the site is that often descriptions of the shows and episodes seem lacking. Either they are not there or are often bad. They did used to have some bandwidth issues, but seem to have fixed them.
All the content on this site is subtitled not dubbed so that may be a deal breaker for some light fans, but if you like subbed anime I would give this site a visit.
