-dono -- This is a rarely used honorific in modern-day Japan.  It has its roots in the warring states days of Japan and apparently used to be the highest honorific bestowed on a person (usually the samurai in charge of a village or town).  This honorific has two uses today.

• submissive -- The use of -dono in the submissive sometimes sees the term translated to "Master." Yukinojo, Mihoshi's nutty computer system, refers to Mihoshi as "Mihoshi-dono."  That's because Mihoshi is his owner, thus making it proper for him to address her as such.
• non-submissive -- This form of -dono is used when a person of great importance addresses someone else of great importance (in one way or another).  It allows the addresser to show great respect to the addressee without elevating them above the addresser.  Washu and Seto-sama are the chief users of this form of -dono.  Thus when Washu addresses Tenchi as "Tenchi-dono," she recognizes him as an important and powerful person, and thus an equal of sorts.

-san -- This is the generic honorific in Japan.  It is commonly equated to the English Mr./Mrs./Miss honorific and is used for any situation where politeness is required (which are many situations).  This is reflected in TM!R with Tenchi addressing Mihoshi, Aeka, Noike, and other's he meets with the -san honorific.

-chan -- This is one of the more intimate honorifics in Japanese society as it has a more feminine take.  It is primarily used for young children, girls, and pets.  Girls will often address each other with the -chan honorific.  It can be used to address males, but that is generally not appreciated.  Despite what you saw in Pioneer's translation of the series, -chan does not mean "little."  Washu made a big deal of getting people to address her (very improperly so) as "Washu-chan" because she's trying to be cute and play up the "young girl" aspect of her appearance.  Sasami is referred to by nearly everyone as "Sasami-chan" due to her age.  Ryo-ohki is often refered to as "Ryo-chan" because of her pet and young-girl appearances.  Rea refers to Tenchi as "Tenchi-chan" because she helped take care of him when he was little.

-kun -- This honorific is less formal than -san and has a more masculine take.  Of all honorifics, this one is the one most likely to be ignored by translators because they can't come up with an appropriate translation for it.  There are two uses for this honorific.

• informal -- This form of -kun is used primarily to address boys or young men. Thus you see girls in school almost always refer to their male counter-parts with the -kun honorific.   Males also can address each other with the -kun honorific, but it depends on the situation and relationship of the speakers.
• more formal -- This form of -kun is primarily used in the work environment when a boss addresses his or her underlings, or by a teacher when addressing students.  As such, the honorific is used to address both males AND females.

You may have noticed in episode 12 that Dr. Clay refers to Washu as "Washu-kun," indicating that he considers himself to be superior to her.

-senpai -- Also spelled as "sempai" based on how it sounds to our English-speaking ears, this honorific is used by one to address those of more senior rank than themselves.  It is mainly used in the school environment (through college), but can also be used in the work environment.  That's why Seina addresses Tenchi as "Tenchi-senpai."  The term can also be used as a stand-alone title, so Seina could just address Tenchi as "Senpai" and that would be fine too.  If you've watched ADV anime titles, you'll know they choose to use the cringe-worthy term "Senior" as a translation to this.  The reverse of this is "-kouhai" which is used by the senior ranking person to address the lesser ranking person.  However, this honorific is not required and often the senpai will simply address the lesser by name with an honorific, depending on how they view the person they are addressing.

-sensei -- This honorific is a title to denote someone as master in his or her field.  It can be used as an honorific or as a stand-alone title.  ALL teachers/educators are addressed with this honorific.  Others who are addressed with the sensei title/honorific are lawyers, doctors (all), authors (including manga-ka), or other such masters.  TM!R creator Kajishima Masaki (name Japanese style) is given the sensei honorific because he's an author (and for some, because of his wonderful creations).

no honorific -- The lack of the use of an honorific either indicates rudeness or disrespect on the part of the addresser, or it indicates that the addresser feels a sense of intimacy to the addressee.  The degree of intimacy is reflected on whether the addresser uses the addressee's family name or given name.  Ryoko addresses no one with an honorific, portraying the rude gaijin (foreigner).  Because Tenchi uses no honorific to address Ryoko, it gives them a greater air of intimacy, even if Tenchi favors no one girl over another (per 101 Secrets).

-nee -- This is the short term for "older sister."  While this form of the honorific isn't that common, it is generally used by those addressing an older girl who is not the addresser's actual sister, but for whom they look up to as a sister.  Here are other forms of the term:

• (o)neechan -- This is the least formal form to address an older sister or sister-type.  This can be used as an honorific or as a stand-alone term.  The "o" prefix honorific adds more respect to the honorific.  "Neechan" is also used sometimes to address a waitress.  Kids will often address an older girl (through their 20's) as "oneechan" even if that girl is a stranger.  Sasami-chan addresses Ryoko as "Ryoko-neechan" or "Ryoko-oneechan" even through Ryoko isn't her actual sister.
• (o)neesan -- Same as above, only more formal.  Generally, one sees this used for actual family members.
• (o)neesama -- Same as above, but it is the most formal use for "older sister." Sometimes this form is used by younger girls in lieu of "senpai" to address an older girl they admire or to address a mentor.  Sasami-chan has addressed her older sister Aeka as "Oneesama."

-nii -- This is the short term for "older brother."  While this form of the honorific isn't that common, it is generally used by those addressing an older boy who is not the addresser's actual brother, but for whom they look up to as a brother.  Here are other forms of the term:

• (o)niichan -- This is the least formal form to address an older brother or brother-type.  This can be used as an honorific or as a stand-alone term.  The "o" prefix honorific adds more respect to the honorific.  This term is used a lot by younger girls to address older males up through their 20's.  It is also a term favored by those otaku into lolicon or have a little sister complex.  Sasami-chan refers to Tenchi as "Tenchi-niichan" or "Tenchi-oniichan." 
• (o)niisan -- Same as above, only more formal.  Generally, one sees this used for actual family members.
• (o)niisama -- Same as above, but it is the most formal use for "older brother."  Aeka addressed Yosho as "Yosho-niisama" or "Oniisama."

Note: There are other terms for older brother and sister which are not discussed here.

other honorifics -- There are a few other honorifics of interest to bring to your attention.  There are actually many more than I list here.

• (o)jou(chan/san/sama) -- This is a title/honorific used to address a girl or young woman of someone important and rich, but who's NOT a member of the royalty.  "Ojouchan" can be used to address a young girl, but is often seen used in a rude way by thugs to a young woman they've eyed.  "Ojousama" is used by the household staff of the young woman's family to address her.
• -hime -- This is a title/honorific for princess.  Kagato refered to both Aeka and Sasami-chan with this honorific.  To add more respect to the title, the sama honorific is attached to it ("himesama").
• -han -- This is an honorific of the same level as -san, but seems to only be used by those speaking with a Kyoto dialect. 
• -tan -- A cutesy form of the -chan honorific.  I had thought it to be a cutesy form of -san but have been informed this is not correct.
• -chii -- A cutesy, highly informal pseudo honorific.  Ironically, this will often show up in translations, but not denoted as an honorific by using the dash.  Instead, it will often be appended to the end of someone's name, often as "tchi."
• -chama -- A cutesy, childish form of the -sama honorific.
• -chin -- Another cutesy, childish form of the -chan honorific.
• -tama -- Another cutesy, childish form of the -sama honorific.
•  -rin -- Not really an honorific, but rather a cutesy modification to the end of name.  This is often seen as similar to giving someone a nickname.  So "Ryoko" might become "Ryorin."  "Sasami" might become "Sasamirin."
