BASIC FAQ
Hey, where do you guys download your anime?
Tokyotosho is a good place to start with. It has a really simple search engine and covers almost all of the torrent releases when it comes to both anime and manga, be it subtitled or without.
You may want to get a Bittorrent client such as
Utorrent to download any of the files there.
I got no time to download! I wanna watch my anime NOW!
No problem, sir. You've got streaming sites such as Goodanime.net or Anilinkz.com that could help you out on that.
How about manga?
You've got separate sites for this too. You can try any of the following:
Mangastream
OneManga
Mangastream.to Reccomended
Mangafox
Haven Reader
Batoto Reccomended
to satisfy your urge for reading manga.
You've told me where to get the anime and manga, but what shows should I watch or read?!
This all depends on the genre you're interested in. Obviously, a lot of shows tend to combine a number of them, but in general, these shows are usually enjoyed by the anime populace, so do give them a try.
This list will probably not cover everything, but mostly the major (and some minor ones). If there's anything major missing, do tell.
Many of these shows and manga are already licensed outside of Japan, so if you want to support them, buy their DVDs or books from you local or online retailer whenever you have the chance!
Some series may have a few other genres it can be defined into; and for these, you'll find 'em in brackets close to the title.
Disclaimer: Before checking the lists as a reference, read
this post first.
