Where to watch or read anime and manga

Like I said I would, this next post will talk about anime and manga.
Let's start with anime.
Overall there are many places where you can watch anime online, being veoh.com or others, but I found two sites that caught my attention.
The first one is kumby.com

Good streaming
 It has a large library, you can find anything you would like here, even anime movies.
But like all anime streaming sites I know, they have to rely on other big names such as megavideo, 4share, myspace, etc. But it's a good place to watch anime in a organized way.
The other streaming site, wich is very similar to kumby but still is my favorite, is anilinkz.com.

My favorite so far
This site, like I said, is pretty much the same as kumby, but I still prefer it, considering it has american cartoons too (simpsons, american dad, family guy etc). So if you want to watch anime, until I find a better one, go for this two.

Now let's talk about mangas.
It's a little bit easier here, there are countless sites that host mangas, but such as anime and movies, there are good and bad ones.
The first one is onemanga.com.

1st choice
There's really nothing bad about this site, so check it out. Large library so you will find any manga you might want.(I just double checked and onemanga is down, so unless it will get back up, choose the 2nd option)
The second one is mangafox.com.

2nd choice
Onemanga and mangafox are pretty much the same, though lately mangafox had to deal with copyright and "mature mangas" issues, so the staff removed over 350 titles from the library. It used to be better, but it's still good.
That's it for now.

Megavideo? Bad choice for streaming

Crappy site



Ok, we all know about megavideo, you can watch almost anything, movies, tv series, anime, you name it, but the "72 minutes limit" gives us a limited enjoyment of the site (in other words its damn annoying).
So after many days trying to find a decent streaming site I find this two.
The first one is divxstage.net.

Overall good


It has a moderate library, uses divx web player to stream ( you can download it here ).
Overall I give it a 6.5/10 because there's still something missing. A wider library would be great.
That's when I found this little gem right here: stagevu.com

The God of streaming
This site here uses the same thing as divxstage, the divx web player I linked before.
Let me tell you one thing, this site has everything, I found movies, tv series, anime, whatever you might need.
You can either watch the content online or simply download it from the site itself.
All the videos are in great quality, not like the videos from megavideo.
The only drawback of this site is that the buffering takes more time then megavideo, mostly because of the size and quality of the files.
So that's why I give it a 9.5/10
Have fun, and enjoy your next movie on the best streaming site on the web.
