TimothyB got it right on most things, though I disagree on the lack of anime feel and emphasis on magical girls.
True almost all the pictures are of computer generated girls with uh, large bras. And most of the character templates are called 'she' even though nothing in most insists that they must be girls. But then most of the characters in a most games are called 'he' in the rules, without ruling out girl characters.
Large parts of the book are sections defining what anime's types and ways of doing things are. If you leave them out, of course it won't feel like anime.
I really like the anything goes magic system.
in short, if you just leave off a lot of the fiddly modifiers, iy makes a great system.
