Realistic Action
Black Lagoon - o.k. It's over the top, but it's realistic in that it has guns and bombs, not robots and eye beams.

Horror
Bakemono Gitari

Drama
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (Rumbling Hearts)

Hentai-ish ( Not real Hentai I dont like it)
Elfen Lied

Science Fiction action
Stelvia

Vampire
Hellsing Ultimate

Magic / Power
Slayers

Movie
Lupin III: Cagliostro Castle - I never get tired of this movie.

Mech
Neon Genesis Evangelion


Anime to AVOID - Silent Moebius TV, Gasaraki, Shangri-La - These are the three that seemed like they would never end, no mater how much I wanted them to. Arrrgh, they stunk!

Bonus:

Comedy
Maison Ikkoku (Why did some of you put comedies like GTO and Maison Ikkoku in the drama section? Yes, they have drama in them, but...)

Magical Girl
Card Captor Sakura (Magical Girl is a completely different genre from fantasy magic shows like Slayers, Fairy Tail, ect.)

Realistic Action
Monster

Horror
Devilman/Violence Jack (VJ is technically a continuation)

Drama
EDIT: Why I put in Blue Gender I have no idea. I change it to Cowboy Bebop. How was I able to forget that?

Hentai-ish ( Not real Hentai I don't like it)
Um... Cutey Honey?

Science Fiction action
Darker Than BLACK

Vampire
Hellsing Ultimate

Magic / Power
Slayers

Movie
Project A-Ko

Mech
Zoids: New Century Zero and Macross 7. I can't decide between the 2.

Anime to AVOID - Please! Twins, Ikki Tousen, Gundam SEED, Magnos The Robot, Protectors of Universe, Neon Genesis Evangelion(Original, not movies. I actually think those are, well, not good, but okay)

Not that much with Magnos and Protectors of Universe, because they can be put under the "so bad it's good" category.

Forgot to mention Blood + for Vampire and Yosuga No Sora for the Avoid list as well.
