i remenber a old games "big eyes small mouth" and i wondering if anima was more interesting but easy to play as much as "big eyes small mouth"?

IMO Anima has a lot in common with the ideas in BESM with added structure for a fantasy setting.

However, Anima is much more complex and IMO lacks a lot of the elegance of BESM's design.

Well, BESM has it's own issues as Anima does. Then again, every game system has their own issues in many ways. To me, once you get over the hurdle with Anima's wording, it's not a bad system (and a revised book will come out soon anyways).
