Hoping this is the right place, I thought folks here would be helped by a site that I just built. It's a directory of anime that's legally streamed on the internet, along with links to each site that streams it.

http://www.streamsuki.com

This is not a "streaming anime site" -- it doen't copy or embed streams. It just links to the legitimate streaming sites.

Feedback, thoughts, recommendations, etc. are very much welcome.

(Note to mods: The site has a few ads on it as an experiment, but it's not a commercial site per se. I've only made a couple of dollars off the ads so far. As such, I don't think this belongs in the Retail forum, but I'll gladly delete this and move it there if the mods deem necessary.)

Will you include international streaming too?

Will you rename the thread's title to "A certain index of legal streaming anime sites?"

Anyway, that site looks very helpful (for Americans).

Btw, Funi is streaming Legend of the Legendary Heroes on its own site I believe, and on youtube (which is made available in the UK).

Normally we don't allow self-promotion threads, but this looks like a worthwhile site which could be a valuable reference. I'll allow this to stand.

I'd be glad to! I just need to figure out an appropriate interface for it. I'm concentrating on the North American market as a starting point.

Is there a list of international streaming sites that I can use for reference?

And thanks for the catch; I should have mentioned in the title or first post that the site is focused on North America at the moment.

The part about the Americans? I just stated the truth...

I could try surfing some British anime forums yes. But not now, my cornetto enigma awaits me.

Well, I kinda feel sorry about saying that to be frank. ANN is an American anime site after all (while you do wish they could target every English speaking countries).

I like the design. Seems helpful.

Do you have an option to sort by Streaming source?
So, you'd see a list of all available at suchandsuch.com?

How do you tracking these yourself?
Do you keep track of the guide thread available on the Toon Zone anime forum? Doing that means getting updates from that sites members. http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?t=265522
That's been the best index of this sort I've seen so far, but it's only a list. No cross referencing abilities so this could be a helpful resource.

How far are you planning on going? Also listing Hulu, Youtube, Toonzaki, and other sites eventually? Keeping track of sites that may just have one or two show streamed for some reason (Such Deltora Quest on hubworld)?

You could have a lot of work ahead of you. Good luck!

Not yet. How would that be helpful to folks?

I have scripts that check each sites' webpages or API once a week.

Nope, and I wasn't aware of that thread. Thanks for pointing me to it!

Fortunately, it looks like every anime on that thread is already indexed by StreamSuki.

It already indexes Hulu, YouTube, and Toonzaki (plus Adult Swim, Crunchyroll, Funimation.com, The Anime Network, ANN, and Viz). Are they not showing up for you? Please let me know and I'll look into it.

If it has anime, I'll list it if possible. However, I've already come across a couple of sites that are effectively impossible to automatically index, like Cartoon Network's site. So I'm doing my best.

HubWorld.com has much the same problem as Cartoon Network's site -- there's no way for the code to tell which of the shows available are anime. Hmmmmm.

legal sites like www.vizanime.com this is Viz's streaming site and it's legal. lots of shows are posted there i did not notice on your listing.
Media blasters now posts a few episodes of there shows at there web site www.media-blasters.com,
www.hulu.com as well as www.Funimation.com
www.otakuusamagazine.com also links shows legal for streaming.
theanimenetwork.com is a legal join able site.
then of course www.crunchyroll.com and youtube.com
animenewsnetwork.com of course.

Itunes sells anime though it's hard to find on that site.

I wonder these are all the places i have been able to find I am in north America.

For Soranowoto, could I implore you to list the "The Horizon of Dreams" bonus episode after episode 12, and not before ep. 1? Because it's actually an epilogue, and watching it before episode 1 will confuse new watchers. I know that's how CR has it placed, but it's still misleading.

Interesting. Could you please point me to the shows on those sites that aren't showing up on StreamSuki? I'm indexing all of the sites you mention (Viz, Media Blasters, Funimation, Hulu, etc.), and just did a quick check and all the shows on those sites do seem to be on StreamSuki. However, I could very well be missing something.

Ah, I appreciate that! How frustrating.

Unfortunately, StreamSuki is designed to list the shows in the order that the various sites have presented them; the more I customize it, the more likely StreamSuki will break when each streaming site changes. This particular problem needs to be fixed on Crunchyroll's side.
