(A better looking version can be found here by a user on another forum.)
I've posted this thing on many forums now and now it's time to post it here.
Heres a list of places you can watch anime online legally and download legally. Fansubs are illegal and can hurt the anime industry, this is 100% true. The age of legal anime streaming has come, almost all these services are avaliable in North America only at the moment. There is NO excuse why you should be watching fansubs for many series that are now legally streaming. You obviously will get commercials when watching legally so the companies can make a profit and keep supplying you with the entertainment you enjoy.
To Watch on the Internet legally (No fansub sites included):
www.joost.com go to shows, then animation, then anime (Lost all anime streaming rights March 25, 2010)
www.hulu.com go to channels, then animation and cartoons, then anime (some are listed in the all section of animation and cartoons only)

Since this is the [adult swim] boards, I don't need to say where you need to look for the schedule.
