Getting to Watch More Anime

Ok after having gotten a tablet, I've spent time watching anime comfortably.  Netflix has very few on streaming and I can't just buy all there is, so on my tablet I'd at least watch 2 episodes of something almost everyday.

Here's what I've been watching:
Oreimo:  About a young girl that models as her job, is good at sports, and is very popular in her school.  Her secret though is that she is a closet Otaku.  Even into sister x brother anime games on her computer. O.o  Her brother finds this out on accident one day and she has to show him her stash behind a bookshelf in a closet.  Her brother gets closer to her.  (No!  Not that way!)  And tries to help her find others with her interest, although she stereotypes her own kind.  Stereotypes are dropped throughout the series.  A great series so far.  I'm half way into it already.  12 episodes.

Monster:  I started this on Netflix, but stupid them, they dropped it off streaming and the dvds only are out through season 1.  I am 48 episodes in to this 73 episode monster.  It's intriguing and a highly regarded anime.  A doctor saves a child's life after he was shot him in the head.  Years later murders are being commited and the doctor knows it's the kid he saved and he's the only one who knows.  He is framed for murder and on the run in search of a way to prove his innocense.  There are so many twists and turns in this series.  Johhan, the murderer, is very clever and smart, dodging all of Doctor Tenma's efforts.  There are many shocking moments.  This is one to check out.

K-On:  This is a very simple anime about a girl named Yui who looks for a club to join and discovers the lite music club.  Thing is is that she knows nothing about playing an instrument.  The characters are cute, especially Mio, the bass player.

These are just a few.  I thought I'd pick my top 3 to talk about.  Happy anime watching everyone!  :)
