OVA: (Type) OVA = Original Video Animation. These are the direct-to-video anime titles done in Japan. Often, OVAs can start a franchise (Tenchi Muyou! Ryououki), start a TV series (Mahou Tsukai Tai!), be a sequel to a TV series (Love Hina Again), or be a stand-alone title (Aa! Megami-sama! OVA). Sometimes, the OAVs are named the same as the TV series and thus will sometimes have the term OVA listed after the title's name to separate it.
Hentai: (Objectionable Content) (↗hentai (変態) = "abnormality; pervert;") All pornographic anime falls into this category. Hentai titles all have strong sexual content (which may or may not have a censorship mask depending on if an uncensored version was released) but they can have surprisingly good stories (Gosenzo San-E), be very funny (Spaceship Agga Ruter), be cute (Elf no Waka Okusama), or a combination. Of course, they can be sick as well and there are tons of those titles out there. (Side note: "Hentai" is an exclusive Western term. All "hentai" games and videos are called ↗Ero (Erotic) nowadays, and erotic games would be called "Ero-Sim" instead of "Hentai-Game".) See also: ↗Wikipedia:Hentai.
Supernatural: (Story/Location) Titles of this category are relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe (especially God, or a god, demigod, spirit or devil), departing from what is usual or normal (especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature or attributed to an invisible agent, like a ghost or spirit). Contains subcategories of more specific types: "Angels", "Deities", "Shinigami", and "Vampires".
Video-game inspired: (Type subgenre) The usual way for an anime to make it to the small screen is from a manga. Sometimes though the anime comes from a video game instead. Gungrave is a classic example: Take a video game from Sega about a undead who fights with musical instruments and create an Anime about love, friendship, betrayal, and a few demons. See also: "Dating Sim Spinoff".
