Is there a system like BESM but good?
>>53341821
Depends. What do you want it to do?
>>53341821
Wait, what's wrong with BESM?
>>53341870
The Tank Police RPG was based on it right?
So in my opinion it can't be that bad...
Although I haven't played BESM
>>53341845
What besm does but better
>>53341870
It is broken
The fundamental nature of BESM as a generic system means that nothing like it will ever be "good."

Valor

how is valor?
I think I'm going to re-read the rules for Big Breasts, Small Waist.

OVA
>>53341821
I would really like someone to explain why besm is bad, compared to other systems
>>53341870
It's a steaming pile of shit. BESM was and is a poor man's GURPS. It's a broken, non-functional mess of a system that's so easy to munchkin.
It also falls victim to the same problem that has blighted its spiritual successor OVA; you can't actually make an "anime" RPG because anime is a visual aesthetic.
The only good anime RPGs I have ever seen are Mekton Zeta and the upcoming Infinity RPG.

I absolutely don't agree. It fits anime-style gaming much better than GURPS, while being simpler. That said, my only experience comes from Demon City Shinjuku.
Thread hijack.
What if I was looking for an RPG that does shounen right? I mean classical hot-blooded battle shounen, mostly. Something nostalgic, even (actually I'm asking this for an upcoming small-convention with the "nostalgia" theme)
I'm kind surprised that apparently there isn't any.

Not Naruto D20.
Its not FATAL... but that is the only thing going for it
>>53343899
OVA needs a lot of houseruling, you can obtain the most powerfull character at start
Mutants and Masterminds is honestly pretty capable of doing BESM better than BESM. In terms of a system it does a lot of the same things, just with a different default aesthetic.
>>53345663
Have you looked at Tenra Bansho Zero? It can capture that kind of thing. Or maybe the more recent game Kamigakari.
>>53346306
As a matter of fact, yes for TBZ and I'm gonna put in as one of the options. But it's not really what I envisioned.
Kamigakari doesnt' strike me as interesting enough but I'm reading it now.
