Yes, it's true. You could be watching anime for free, thanks to Yahoo
& Central Park Media. Not only that, but you could be watching it
right now, while you are reading this article. I'm watching one of
the Project A-KO films as I write this. Not on my TV mind you, but
on my PC, over the Internet.
Yahoo
has merged with Broadcast.com
and offers a wide variety of streaming audio and video. Of course
we are most interested that they offer a selection of anime. All of
the titles they currently offer are from Central
Park Media. They include selections from the afore mentioned
Project A-KO as well as Peacock King, Big Wars,
Sohryuden - Legend of the Dragon Kings and The Silent Service.
Sure, they may not be the most popular titles, but they can be entertaining.
I personally enjoy Peacock King. By the way these aren't just
previews, they are the entire stories.
They have an Internet-Only
Anime Channel that plays selections from their library (you
are given the choice between a 56K or 300K connection). They also
have sections where you can choose what you would like to watch. One
for those who still use dial-up
connections, and a another for Broadband
users.
