I have been playing since the Beta came out right after the Kickstarter campaign and it has been a blast to get with my old group and continue the same fun adventures in the new version. The rules are still pretty light and the customization very large. You can run any style of campaign you can imagine, want to recreate the world of Naruto? Easy. Want giant Mecha action? Rules are there. Looking to have school girls wage war against a demon horde bent on world domination? Sure, there is even some templates to help. Even better is the Anime Multiverse to help new players and game master with various types of settings you can create in BESM. Using just 2D6 for your rolls makes things simple and easy for players to learn quickly. Best of all you can have any mix of social, puzzle, or combat in your campaign that you wish. The attributes available in BESM are not geared to any one type of play. If you really do want an open world with a lot of possibilities for your group BESM is a great game to pick up.
