With all sorts of Japanese anime ready to be watched online, I was drawn to going towards certain websites instead of having to order those same titles online. At first I could watch certain anime titles on YouTube while I couldn't find the rest of the anime titles I wanted to watch. I was limited to titles such as Bleach and Naruto because of the number of episodes available. I would look up the time those episodes would be aired in Japan and them someone would record it and upload it on YouTube.

There were a few other sites that do allow you to watch anime episodes online for free. But the episodes are usually split into two or three parts which can get bothersome. In my case, it got pretty annoying with me. As a person that hangs around all sorts of message boards a good deal of time to combat boredom, we give each other links on where we can watch anime for free.

A few friends directed me this website that seems to be based in East Asia called "Crunchy Roll". I took a good look around Crunchy Roll and was pretty impressed with the website. This is a website that's pretty hard to find on your own. Plus not many people would associate the words "crunchy" and "roll" let alone "crunchy roll" with watching Japanese anime for free. I wouldn't have found Crunchy Roll if it weren't for the people that were nice enough to direct me. I searched around and found that the website is similar to YouTube but is focused towards Japanese anime. It's a website that constantly depends on donations from viewers like you and me.

There's a vast index of anime titles alphabetically listed from A-Z and numerically listed from 0-9. The number of episodes can range up to twenty-six episodes which is normal or possibly more than twenty-six. I have seen numerous anime titles where the episode count has gone way over one hundred episodes. If you enjoy watching Japanese anime, Crunchy Roll is a good way to kill time in between. If you're bored at work or at the school computer lab, you can log onto Crunchy Roll and watch all the anime you want.

Crunchyroll is very easy to find my friend. It's one of the leading Anime Streamers out there. Also you are very mistaken. First a large majority of the anime site has been taken down. A very large number. You also failed to mention that you can't just watch it but you have to sign up. And right now CR is taking heavy fire for being a conspiracy site. But yeah nice article.
