The guidelines for using BESM classless are very welcome, although a level 1 classless character will be about 10 CP's behind a classed one (who gets all the level one abilities free).

 CGTalk - BESM, Why must you revert my settings?
Everytime i tweak out my BESM settings in a scene (this one in particular has 20 lights) and save it, close the scene and reopen it, all the settings i just tweaked are sent right back to how it was before...
If their are bugs in BESM it is generally because no one bothered to email me with the problem or send me an example scene.
The one thing to me that is really holding BESM back is the fact that it doesn't work with textures without lowering the opacity of the color, which allows the texture to show but takes away the color.

 Besm D20: Anime Role-Player's Handbook : Stingy Gamer Edition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
While I'll say that this was written with converting typical d20 players to BESM, rather than for traditional BESM fans, the system accomidates d20's magic system adequately through the Dynamic Sorcery attribute, which allows all the d20 spells to be used in an anime campaign.
Ultimately BESM suffers from being a little too general and parts of the system will almost always have to be cut off or dis-allowed in a campaign, in fact the text encourges this.
BESM is the leading anime RPG, and the d20 edition does a good job of melding the two rulesets.

 Shadows o'the (Rising) Sun - Shadowrun BESM
BESM is a customizable system, in the sense that, depending on the setting, starting characters have a variable number of points with which acquire stats, attributes and skills.
Skills do also change their price depending on the setting, the rule of thumb being the more valuable the skill is in the setting, the higher the cost in points.
BESM characters are defined by three stats (hence the Tri-Stat System logo) ranging from 1 (not worth mentioning) to 12 (best in the universe).
