Love anime (Japanese cartoons) or Japanese drama series? Then prepare to lose a lot of your free time to Crunchyroll, a site devoted to nothing but those types of shows. For Japanophiles, Crunchyroll offers an impressive array of perks, including professional subtitles (a big improvement over the bootleg, fan-created subtitles added to much online anime), shows available 1 hour after they air in Japan, 1080p HD picture, and, in its most expensive plan, no ads. Basic monthly subscriptions cost less than Hulu, and the highest-end package is less than many Netflix plans. There's some free content, but it's limited and in standard definition, so if anime is your thing, you'll want to subscribe. And thanks to the many devices Crunchyroll supports, you have lots of choices of where and how to watch.
