The anime itself usually has a well formed story-line, but due to the nature of this genre the viewers (especially the readers of the manga) usually got bored and annoyed due to the slow progression of the story. Just like Action it is also can be mixed with other genre such us, Action, Adventure (Usually the historical one)

examples : Full Metal Alchemist, Ragnarok and Pokemon.

Comedy - The most  used Anime genre yet is almost never used on its own, as its name implies deals with usually light humor.

examples : Sakura Cardcaptor : Tsubasa Chronicles and Death Note

Ecchi - This is the PG-13 of anime, although some shows drive it to the extreme where it could be Rated R, it is usually frivolous and lighthearted with the use of implied ual innuendos. The ecchi genre does now show ual nor the Primary ual Organs but leaves it up to the viewer’s imagination. This genre is usually used as  fan service (due to its popularity among anime lovers alike) and recently the ratio at which anime is created with ecchi related content is drastically increasing. It is often incorporated with the comedy, harem and shounen/seinen genres,

 examples : Elfen Leid, Freezing, Zero no Tsukaima, Futari Ecchi and Ladies vs Butlers.

Fantasy - Magic worlds, magical powers and monsters, these are the main components that make up fantasy anime. It is usually combined with the adventure, action and history genres. Mythology and folklore is usually the foundation on which this genre is based upon, unfortunately the characters often have very poor backgrounds but the art is almost always breathtaking with unique scenery and magnificent character detail. It is normally paired with the adventure, harem and romance genres.

examples : Fairy Tale, Inuyasha, Shugo Chara and Katekyo Htman Reborn

Game - As the name says, it basically involves the characters playing some sort of game. (normally card / monster based). It on its own cannot be a genre, it has to accompany another which is normally either Adventure or Psychological.

Examples : Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters and Bakugan.

Harem - Almost always accompanied by the comedy or romance genres, Harem is more or less the scenario where the main character is surrounded amorously by three or more members of the opposite , usually with the protagonist being a guy. Almost always comical and has a certain degree of love/romance. 

examples : Da Capo, Love Hina and School Days

H.entai - This is the Rated MA Stuff, basically anime po.rnography, unlike its softer sister ecchi it shows all the ual organs and well as . This genre more often than not has no background and poorly developed characters with most of the content being from explicit scenes. Almost always paired with harem with a male protagonist.

Examples : bible. black and mistreated bride.

Historical - Anime based on a particular time period, very often the Edo/Tokugawa period in Japan where the shoguns ruled the country(althought it can be american based).  Characters are often fashioned from well known figures in Japanese past such as commanders and even the shoguns themselves. Almost always paired with the samurai genre.

Examples : Rurouni Kenshin, Baccano and Shigurui.

Horror - Despite the name, the horror anime isn’t very scary, instead it implies alot of bloodshed and mutilation, i suppose a better word would have been gruesome. Often used with the Drama, demon or psychological genres.

examples : Mnemosyne and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

Josei -  A very rare (at least in the west) genre aimed at the adult woman (ages 18-40). They are normally themed about living the life of an ordinary woman although some can be held in a school setting. The animation is very mature and realistic (eg. no sparkly eyes), it tends to focus very realistically on romance, and character relationships. 

example : Paradise Kiss, Honey and Clover.

Love / Romance - This is a relatively popular genre which deals with the detailled creation and progression of the romantic relationship between two characters. Normally paired with comedy and harem it has developed into somewhat an industry on its own with tons of devoted followers due to the inclination for it viewers to form somewhat of a connection between themselves and one or multiple characters.

examples : Love Hina, Shugo Chara and Tora Dora

Yuri/ - This genre is one of the most popular, it is used to a story/fanfic/anime/manga etc. with same-gender pairings. Yuri is for GirlxGirl while is for BoyxBoy. It is also used for fan service, (two characters that show affection towards each other)
