The legendary Tower of Druaga is resurrected eighty years after the hero Gilgamesh has taken it down. In order to destroy the evil deity Druaga, the Kingdom of Uruk dispatches its troops to the tower, but the expedition repeatedly fails in its efforts. A young man named Jil who has been blessed by the goddess Ishtar, is awarded a set of brilliant golden amour and a sword from Gilgamesh as tokens to defeat the maumet.
Sent off by the cheering crowd, our young hero Jil confidently sets out to confront the evil deity inhabiting the tower. Helped by great friends such as the archer Neeba and a Mage called Fatina, he heads for the uppermost floor of the Tower!

This is one of 2 series that the Japanese animation studio, Gonzo, is releasing online with English subs at the same time as they're broadcast in Japan, as an attempt to counter illegal fansub downloads. The other is Blassreiter, which I haven't seen yet.
Youtube (http://jp.youtube.com/user/TTODruagaAE), Crunchyroll (http://www.crunchyroll.com/), and BOST TV (http://www.bosttv.com/) are three places where it appears it's going to be provided.
Now, while I can't say whether or not it's going to work yet, watching the first episode wasn't a very difficult experience. BOST TV appears to be the place where you can actually purchase the episode and download it, with the other two probably as a lower quality with ads to support them.
So far, it was an enjoyable first episode. Though...it doesn't seem to be the real first episode. Still, it has an awesome OP, and as a fan of RPGs I couldn't help but keep laughing at the parody of the game. Even if, at the end it turned out to be a dream sequence, I can't help but smile. The real first episode should be the next one.
