Acquired Taste: (Style) These are titles which may take a while to get used to. As such, you should watch several episodes before making up your mind.
Fantasy: (Setting) Titles that deal in might and magic will fall into this category.
Shounen Ai: (Objectionable Content) (↗shounen ↗ai (愛) = "Boy Love") These are titles in which two male characters are involved in a homosexual relationship or in which one is hinted at. Mainly you find these in Shoujo manga but some anime titles have them as well. The term differs from "Yaoi" in that it usually implies that there will not be on-screen sex. See also: ↗Wikipedia:Shounen Ai.
Kawaii: (↗kawaii (可愛い) = "cute" or "adorable") If you've watched anime in Japanese, you've heard characters use the term 'kawaii'. So if the title makes you want to say that (often using ↗chibi characters, i. e. small and super-deformed), then it fits.
