GURPS Anime...what should be in it?

It all boils down to this ...

"Anime" games are a style of playing, like power-gaming or role-playing. Rules aren't needed, just a GM with a knack for a certain type of story and a player with a small vocabulary of Japanese words to drop into his dialogue.

All the rules in the previously-published supplements can cover just about any legitimate anime or manga scenario imaginable. (I will not discuss the illegitimate scenarios - that's a matter between the GM, the players, and their gods). Special rules for anime or it's subtypes are simply not needed.
