    Hi there, my name is Denis and i'm working on a Anime website.
    I'm using WordPress 3.6 with the theme deTube.
    I've seen this website that uses the same exact theme with a setup like:
    http://www.animetv.org/anime/hackg-u-returner/
    And the anime description page is i think a category page.
    The problem is i can't assign a taxonomy to another taxonomy.
    I wanted to add the genre's to categories
    Is there any other way? Thank you.

    I don't think that site uses them like that: it has separate taxonomies (types, genres and categories), but doesn't mix them. Doesn't it work as a cross-referencing system without being sub-categories?

    Categories: ongoing, upcoming, etc.
    Genres: comedy, action, etc.

    Then you would just show whichever the user requests: if they want upcoming, they get that category; if they want comedies, they get that genre (in the second taxonomy). That site has no option for (e.g.) upcoming comedies or ongoing action anime, though you could build such a thing with a custom query. The nav system might get messy, though, with so many options!
