yaoi is boyxboy
shonen is anime thats directed for male viewers it usually has a lot of violence & fighting. thuink naruto, bleach, dbz, etc...
shojo is anime that's aimed for female viwers, they have prettier boys, [[shinier characters?]], & softer storylines. think sailor moon, etc.. [[idk a lot of shojo anime]]
