Yahoo Japan seems to provide a decent selection of anime titles for (legally) free viewing, including at the moment Evangelion and Gatchaman. However, I keep getting error messages whenever I try to watch something. Has anyone succeeded?

It only accepts Japanese IP addresses.

I think you can get around that with a proxy server, but then Yahoo says there's some kind of Java error, even though I checked the suggested options. Maybe I need to update to Vista.

I would assume that if only Japanese IP addresses are allowed then that's because it's only legal to view them in Japan.
