BESM 3rd Edition is a lot cleaner, and solves a bunch of character
creation omissions, with which I had severe issues, in 2nd Edition.

I'm always surprised when people complete that BESm is an animé system.
There's no such thing as an animé *genre*. BESM can be used for many of
the same things that Hero System or GURPS (or MA RPG) can be used for.
The focus is a little different, the assumed im****tance of combat is
off-key relative to most other systems, but it is simply wrong to
describe BESM as an animé system.
(Note: I'm only familiar with 2nd and 3rd Edition - I'm gambling on 1st
being largely similar to the newer ones.)
