Just about every anime I’ve seen could fall into more than one genre (from my judgment, most have at least three). For example, I’ve seen Inuyasha classified as Shonen, Action, Supernatural, Drama, Romance, and Comedy, and Eureka 7 as Mecha, Action, Romance, Comedy, Drama, and Sci-fi. Having a variety of elements in each series is what makes anime so appealing, but it also makes it difficult to narrow down genres.

Thus, I’ve come up with a sort of “alternate” list of more specific genres, only eight in total (most of this list was developed by my friend The Wanderer during one of our college anime club meetings).
