Already got one. Anyway, can I get anime from it to play on a TV with composite video cables with it? I'd rather not have to use a laptop though. Are there any WDTV like media players out there?

I'm saying that you get/build an HTPC instead. No matter what portable player you choose, it won't be able to play anything due to hardware limitations. An HTPC will be able play anything you throw at it provided you have the correct codecs and the CPU has enough horsepower to play them.
I recommend a mini-ITX form factor because it is small. Think something similar to a mac mini

Just to make sure you know what you are in for, getting all anime to play on your TV correctly short of plugging in a computer to it is a royal pain. If you can use a laptop with HDMI out, I'd say go for it 100% even if it is a little inconvenient, because every other option will probably be even more so.

The popcorn hour A200/210,C200 render ass/ssa pretty decent. its missing karaoke and a few of the more stranger styles that come into play but 90-95% watchable. Your other option are the boxee box has pretty good ssa support. other then that you start getting into HTPC. with that said an HTPC might be your best bet anime encoders have a strange habit of never using standards like using profile 5.1 and 16 ref frames and now getting into 10bit files and so fourth.
With the said the intel/ion and even the amd-e might struggle a little on high bitrate videos so ask around if that is the route you are going to go.

I spose I can use my laptop. But I would have to get my ass off the couch to change the episode after each one finishes. Is there some way Windows media player can be controlled with a remote control? I know I can just make a playlist but then I have to watch OPs and EDs over 9000 times.
