GURPS Anime...what should be in it?

Just playing around with ideas, and trying to fit them to the e23 Wish List, I could see the following titles for e23...

GURPS Powers: Anime

...which would provide a rundown of advantages, disadvantages, perks, quirks, and templates common to anime. Special attention would, of course, be paid to magic girls, mecha (as gadgets and allies), tentacled horrors from beyond, commonly encountered supernatural critters like fox girls, ice women, demons, and anime-style vampires, and some of the really over-the-top powers seen in series like Inuyasha, Elfin Lied, etc.

You could also have...

GURPS Locations: Anime High School

...perfect for intrigue, mystery, romance, horror, or comedy, this school is home to numerous cliques, clubs, and secrets. Everyone one needs--rooms, teachers, important NPCs (student council, impossibly rich classmate, etc.) Short sections could provide "lenses" for rural boarding schools, urban high schools, and schools for superheroes or mecha pilots.

And, of course...

GURPS Locations: A Quiet Little Village in Japan

...which, as you know, will be hiding some dark secret. With tentacles.
