Shounen

Shoujo is the standard “chick flick”Most are slow to start but build to a climactic arc that usually brings you to tears assuming you have a soul.Kannon 2006, Clannad, and Air. These are the “trinity” of shoujo. As in arguably the best of the genre.

Shoujo

As you may guess these shows are horror or gory. These shows rely on suspense and crisp animation to sell the plot.With horror you are probably best of with something like “Another” or “higarashi no naku koro ni”. Regarding gore “elfin leid” or “Hellsing” should suit your fancy.

Horror/gore

Comedy anime very rarely come as just comedy for example shounen-comedy, ecchi-comedy, or even shoujo-comedy. The rare comedy that stands alone in genre is the slice of life animation. Regarding slice of life “Lucky star” is a fantastic example.

Comedy

There are ecchi elements in almost every element of anime. This is known as fanserviceFanservice is where a character is put in a proactive situation for little to no real purpose but to see that character “exposed”A good example of Shounen ecchi would be HOTD or Freezing.Comedy ecchi would be Rosario+Vampire.
