Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Try https://everythingmoe.com/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Hidamari sketch
Hidamari Sketch rocks. It has a very distinctive style. I ended up watching the seasons out of order so if you don't quite vibe with the first season you might like the second. It's about these girls who live in the same apartments and go to the same art school.
Yeah, it's "Shinbo Style", btw, he's the director at SHAFT who did Zetsubou Sensei, bakemonogatari, Madoka, among others.
Ume-sensei is the artist for the manga, and she also designed Madoka
Yeah, and the Shinbo style originally at least sort of came about due to budget limitations, right? Or rather that Shinbo already had a distinctive style that happened to interact in interesting ways and played nicely with Shaft's originally limited budget. That's how I remember it, at least. Maria Holic and Pani Poni Dash are some other Shinbo-directed anime, but I didn't care much for the latter, and the former I can only really recommend to a specific type of person.
But yeah, I'm working on my own no-budget "fanime" right now, I finished storyboarding the first episode a few days ago, and I'm planning on copying some aspects of the Shinbo style basically just to cut down on the amount of work I have to do.
