However, BESM d20 has some definite balance problems, and many find it rather clunky to run. By contrast, Mutants and Masterminds is very carefully balanced, and really quite intuitive to run, while being quite as flexible. I'm currently participating in a Naruto game that's making that approach work quite well. What are your opinions on using M&M as a system for anime-based games?

Having joe average roll a 20 and take no damage vs a haymaker thrown a ****** off Hulk really can ruin a game. I like the M&M system but I would really give hit points to the characters and give their powers a damage range (number of damage dice).
