Depends on the setting.

A setting's style has nothing to do with the mechanics. Use what you know, and incorporate themes and ideas you like.

For something like jojo, simply treat the stand as a separate character, and pause the combat from time to time to allow for "oh, nooo" or banter.

One does not call Hype Exposition mere 'banter'.

I am trying to emulate jojo or hunter x hunter, both are hard as fuck to adapt

Just stop giving a fuck and approximate stuff in a generic system.

Interestingly most LARP rules involve special poses to invoke special in-game powers

I'd argue that a settings style has everything to do with the core mechanic. You can make a decent RPG from a generic mechanic or one that just does the job, but truly great design relies on you ensuring the mechanics of your game support the narrative and themes you're going for, right the way down to the core mechanic.

Although, OP- Define 'Anime' in this context. As it's such a broad fucking thing it's hard to suggest anything other than a generic mechanic.

Steal the force coins from EotE. Anyone can flip their side's coin to add a die to their pool. You can also flip multiple coins at the same time.

The systems in the Super Stand Sunday threads have PDFs for jojo tabletop systems. I'm currently running a modified version of the d10 system with a house rule that you crit confirm by posing. Then each character gets a critical theme song that plays while I describe exactly how hard they just smacked that guy.
Jojo tabletop is fun

This would be the best answer, if it didn't mean having to put up with Spanish, FFG translations, or Google Translate.
