Favorite anime-inspired games? Could be adapted from a specific anime or just based on the medium and its conventions.

My friends and I played the hell outa Bubblegum Crisis, back in highschool. All I really remember is that we played it a ton and had lots of fun. So that, I guess. In fact seeing your Project Ako pic is what made me think of it. That, Tank Police, Bubblegum Crisis, Akira and Vampire Hunter D were prolly the sum-total of Anime we'd seen.

Is there an equivalent of Toon by Steve Jackson Games for anime?

I like Anime: Beyond Fantasy a lot.
It's overpowered bullshit from start to finish to the point that it doesn't feel so much like it.

Huh, there was apparently a Sailor Moon TTRPG.You can tell it's from the 90s because they used the "Japanese anime" tautology

All of these 90's anime RPGs were basically fanbooks that just had some sort of rules awkwardly crammed in amid all the lore. They're cool, but they were clearly made because some nerd wanted to gush about how much he loved anime and internet wasn't widespread enough yet for him to make a website instead. Mechanics were an afterthought.

I wonder if there are any Record of Lodoss War TTRPGs that bring the adaptation cycle full circle.

Demon City Shinjuku, but used it mostly for Wicked City/Urotsukidoji inspired sessions.

Was there a fan-made TTRPG based on Akira back in the day? I know there was a Kickstarter for one later on.

I wonder if Savage world has any anime inspired games under its belt.
I know that Chronicles of darkness or world of darkness has a few fan-made ones.
Gurps should be able to make a anime inspired game but you might have to need an industrial level bookshelf for that.
Teenagers and outer space got an anime coating to keep it fresh nowadays since it works just as well as in '80s cartoon as well as a '90s anime cartoon.

You know what I think would be great for a TTRPG?

I know it's not an anime, but I think Avatar: The Last Airbender could be good for a TTRPG.

Is there anything good for P&SG vibes? Fast paced, comedic, wacky fun?

Thrash was a pretty good set of rules for imitating anime and fighting game style combat in a tabletop.
