for this we first have to request the above mentioned url which is :

http://www.animedubbednow.net/fairy-tail-episode

and then there is an embed url in the resulting HTML page which in this case is

http://vidup.org/embed.php?file=8b388fcb&w=550&h=420&bg=http://www.verilscriptz.com/anime/pimpanime.jpg

We can extract that embed url using this regex:

re.search('id="video" src="(.+)" frameborder',a).group(1)

We have to open that embed url. The resulting HTML has some json data and we can use this regex to extract it:

re.search('url:(.+).mp4',a.text)

And then we have the final .mp4 url. @phihag I hope you can convert it into a full IE currently I don't have time. I will make some IE's in future when I get time.

This video seems to be copyrighted, and not be distributed by the copyright holder. Uploading at multiple sites (some of which have deleted it already) is another sign. Additionally, http://www.animedubbednow.net/anime-movies/ lists a lot of obviously copyrighted videos.

As a matter of policy, youtube-dl does not support sites that infringe copyright. Therefore, I'm sorry to say that support for animedubbednow.net will not be added, unless you can show that they indeed possess the right to distribute their content.
