Download K-Lite codec pack (last ver 2.27 full) and you should have all the codecs that you need to play anime.

Let me start off by saying "NEVER EVER INSTALL A CODEC PACK IN YOUR SYSTEM, I REPEAT NEVER EVER DO IT" The reason is codec packs install multiple types of the same codec in your sytem which causes that extremely annoying "misconfigured codec" problem. for example, Xvid, DIVX 5.0,fddshow, and DIVX Alpha version whatever are all the same codecs. Install all three and you will be plagued by misconfigured codec problem. Another thing is that the embedded uninstallers don't always do a good job of cleaning up after uninstallation, which can easilly amount to frustrations if you don't like deleting registry keys manually.

SOLUTION: Download a program called GSPOT, open whatever file it is with GSPOT and it will tell you what codec you need. Then nicely go to www.moviecodec.com and download whatever codec you need. Problem Solved.
