I can't help suspecting that you're thinking of The Munchkin's Guide to Power Gaming.

BESM 2nd Edition contained a TvTropes-like overview of Japanese fiction phenomena, and that part was possibly mainly written by David Pulver, so it could be that the material you're remembering was in some other RPG supplement written by him. Other than GURPS Mecha, I mean.

I can't see a reference in BESM Space Fantasy or Big Robots Cool Starships which might have been 2 other possibilities.

Dash it all, you're quite right.

(Time to swap out my memory for something better, like a sponge.)
