hohoho.. that is interesting.. we, the anime fans, usually obtain anime by downloading it for free (If you buy or rent the original DVD, I salute you^^). Is that legal?
actually it isn't legal. But sometime it is not a problem at all. why? Because the company that has the copyright doesn't complain about it.
Why??
-first, unlike the company that licenses those anime, fansub company doesn't make money from this (unless just donation)
-second, the company that has the copyright considers this as a free ad, so that there will be a company that wants to buy the license.
But they (the fansubs) have also "unofficial" rules that they must obey:
-it should be free! Donation is alright, but there should be no difference between donators and non-donators.
-should respect the company that has bought the license or release it in that country, by not subbing them.
-they may distribute other group's subbed anime by respecting the ToA (Terms of Agreement) (if stated).
so it would be definitely illegal if someone who doesn't have the license distribute an anime that has been licensed by a company in a country.

Is Fansub Legal
I decide it+ first news: DMC licensed
I decide that I will write news related with anime too..
well,, I'll try my best to provide you witheverything related with anime
ganbaru
ok.. instead leaving this post shallow and meaningless, I'll give you a (simple) news.
Devil May Cry is licensed by ADV.
well..it's a good thing and bad thing I think.
licensed means you'll be able to buy the DVD, with high quality and good sub. It could also mean you might not be able to download it for free.. but that we don't know yet.
Ouran High School Host Club
Ok, those are serious animes (except Honey & Clover). This time I’ll give you a very funny anime. Ouran High School Host Club.
Synopsis:
Fujioka Haruhi, a normal student in a very prosperous high school who always studies hard. Haruhi is actually popular because Haruhi is the only commoner in that school.
One day Haruhi was looking for a quite place to study, but it’s noisy everywhere because the rich go to school just for play. So Haruhi went to the music hall, but haruhi found a host club.
Host club is actually a club for handsome rich guys, who have time to give hospitality to those lovely ladies who also have time and profit off of them.
But Haruhi made a mistake by shattering a vase. So that Haruhi’s in debt for 8 million yen (around 80.000 dollar). So Haruhi should pay the debt by being the club’s dog. But Haruhi isn’t doing a good job. For example, the club told Haruhi to buy coffee.. but Haruhi bought an instant coffee, which those rich bastards, I mean people, never drink before (they drink espresso). They didn’t even know that there is instant coffee. For them, it’s too “common”. So they’re scared to drink it.
But the club realizes that Haruhi has definitely a charm. So they decided to make haruhi as a host.

But the club realizes that Haruhi has definitely a charm. So they decided to make haruhi as a host.
There are 6 members of the club (exclude Haruhi):
-Suou Tamaki. He is the leader of this club. Although he has the leadership skill and is loved by his member, he believes too much to people. But he is definitely a good man with a simple and unique personality. He is the prince type host, the king, and the father of this club.
-Ootori Kyouya. He is the cool type host. Kyouya is very smart. He should study hard to make his father satisfied. He is the manager of this host, he take care the accounting part. He is also the "mother" of this club. 
-Hitachiin Hikaru and Hitachiin Kaoru. These twins always sell brotherly love for their customer. They are very naughty and make everything as their toy. They seem always cheerful, but they actually have problem because no one has recognized them as hikaru or kaoru because they are very identical.
-Haninozuka Mitsukuni (a.k.a Honey). He is the lolishota type host (lolishota means young boy under 17 who is very cute). He likes to eat cake and something sweet. Despite it looks, he is very good at martial art. 
-Morinozuka Takashi (a.k.a Mori). He is the wild type host. He always baby sits Honey and protects him. He is very good in kendo.
Despite their look, they have their own rich people problem. Haruhi seems to be their savior. Vise versa, these rich people want to improve their relation with Haruhi, but it seems like a different dimension, dimension of the commoner.
I’ll rate it 3 or 4 stars.. well , it’s 3 ½ stars^^
This anime is super funny. There is a lot of hyperbolism.
You should definitely watch this anime.
You can download it at everyanime ( http://www.everyanime.com ). (the torrent is very slow, there are just few seeders since it isn't new anime)

How to Download Torrent
Downloading it may sounds simple, but there are people who can't. well, a direct download or online storaging (megaupload or rapidshare, etc) are no problem I think. but torrent might be a problem for some people (no need to shame, we were all beginner). 1. Download bitcomet http://www.bitcomet.com/doc/download.htm
2. Install it
3. Download the torrent file, for example in http://www.animesuki.com/ (if you use Opera browser, it will download automaticly, so the bitcomet will be useless.. so don't download the torrent file with Opera (well, I'm a newbie too, so correct me if I'm wrong))
4. open the torrent file with bitcomet, and decide where would you save the file.
5.start download
The speed of the download depends on how much seeder of the torent file online at that time. so if there are only 5 seeders, the download most likely will be so slow. but if there are 1000 seeder it would be so fast.
Usually in anime, the newer the file, the more seeder are there. so it would be great if you download it on time when the anime's released.
quite simple? yes it is^^

Claymore
Phew.. I want to share this anime.. I can tell you the interesting part of the story, but it will end up as a spoiler because it has a flash back for 4 episodes.
Hmm.. how about this? I’ll tell you the main story without tell you when, or who of those scene. Ok?
Synopsis:
There is a time when villages were attacked by monsters called “Yoma”. Yoma can also disguise as a human. Yoma like to eat human’s guts.
In order to raid these Yoma, villagers usually ask reinforcement from “Claymore”. Claymores are silver-eyed female swordsmen half-human and half-Yoma. Because they’re half-Yoma, people are usually scared asking for their help. Claymores can also partially transform into Yoma, but if they cross a certain limit, they will never change back and turn into Yoma.
The main character in this anime named Clare. She is a Claymore, but not special one. Her job just like any other Claymore, to find Yoma in the city then kill them. Her character's just like any other Claymore too, cold and emotionless.

The main character in this anime named Clare. She is a Claymore, but not special one. Her job just like any other Claymore, to find Yoma in the city then kill them. Her character's just like any other Claymore too, cold and emotionless. 
One day he met a boy named Raki. Raki has lost both of his parents because a Yoma killed them, because of that Raki has no one to live with. Then Clare takes him as a cook. Raki accompanies Clare through her missions.
Clare’s past:
Every Claymore was once a human, so was Clare. She has no one to live with, because she had lost her parents, since then she was a Yoma’s toy. One day a Claymore named Teresa slashed the Yoma. Since that day Clare clung to Teresa. Teresa was actually the number one Claymore (the strongest Claymore).
But one day Teresa killed human in order to protect Clare.
Claymores have a rule that they must not kill human regardless the condition, those who violate this rule should be executed. But Teresa wanted to stay live for Clare. That makes the organization sent number 2 to number 5 to hunt for Teresa’s head. Of course they didn’t make it.
But the situation changed when 1 of them turned into Yoma and kill the other except Clare. In order to take revenge, Clare decided to be a Claymore.
I rate this anime 4 stars.
Before you download it, I want you to know that episodes 1 to 4 are kind of boring. Well, it’s not boring actually, but filler-like episodes. They are just ordinary missions. But since it’s about the main story, episodes 5 above are superb! You should definitely watch this anime!
