Niconico streams quite a lot of anime, but not simulcast in Japan.
They usually stream the shows 3 days to 1 week after broadcast, and each episode is free for 1 week. Some shows are much later, a month or two delayed. They also "broadcast" a couple of older anime series 1 episode a week, too. You can pay money to watch older episodes, although they often will show entire series on nama-housou (live broadcast) specials. Like, they marathoned all of madoka a while ago and got a ton of viewers. Each season niconico is getting 12-15 shows.

Interesting! But it's only 1 hour before TV broadcast, not effectively much different from a simulcast.
Aha, looking at the TV stations is actually airs on, this isn't so surprising: The first TV station is actually Chiba TV, a small local station east of tokyo. It's not airing on any of the big TV stations (just on a network of local stations), which makes sense why niconico could get the first airing rights.
