Action: Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like. Contains subcategories of more specific types such as Gun-Action, Martial Arts, and Swordplay; see also: Fighting.
(/Beautiful Boy/) To qualify, the title has to be filled with beautiful, young boys (often with long, flowing hair) no older than high school aged. Inuyasha and Tenkuu no Escaflowne have both been marked as bishounen.
Not a genre but actually a demographic. Refers to anime based on manga that was originally serialized in a magazine targeting girls of any age. American fans seem to often be confused and classify any show that has romance and/or major female main characters as shoujo-- this is wrong.
Anime based on manga targeting young women would be called josei. (though very little of the manga targetting young women gets made into anime-- the only ones I can think of are Ebichu and Momoiro Sisters.)

 Legend of Basara |
Buy | Far in the earth's future, mankind's civilizations have collapsed. Japan has reverted to ancient traditions, living in tribes and worshipping the old gods. In a remote village, two twin children—a boy and a girl—are prophecied to save the land from an approaching age of tyranny and oppression. Tatara, the boy, is brutally murdered by the evil Red King in a village raid. His sister, Sarasa, takes up his quest to stop the Red King. |
