Problem with a poll like this is that you can pretty much capture all anime with the genres action, suspense, drama, romance, comedy and psychological.

The rest are for the most part subgenres/themes that combine one or more of the above in a particular setting.

The poll results show that the most universal genres come out on top. Not surprising as you can't like mecha, shonen or harem, without liking any of those universal genres. For example, harem is usually a mix of romance and comedy with a male and several women. Sci-fi can be any of the above in a technological more advanced setting. Fantasy is similar but has magic instead of technology. Mecha is a sub-genre of Sci-fi with robots etc.
