Line 2: {{quote\|''In retrospect, men appreciate that it was a colourful apocalypse.''\|''Uresia: The Grave of Heaven'', S. John Ross}} ''[['''Big Eyes, Small Mouth]]''''' (aka ''BESM'') is a multi-genre roleplaying game created by the now-defunct [[Guardians of Order.]] Conceived as a system to allow people to play out games in the style of anime series, it was first released at [[Gen Con]] in 1997. The name comes from a common generalization of the typical anime and manga character designs, which have proportionately large eyes and small mouths. A number of supplemental rule books have been released, with additional rules and character creation options to provide specific advice for running games in a certain genre. For instance, the supplement ''Hot Rods and Gun Bunnies'' contains information on running a ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'' or ''[[Riding Bean]]''-style game, while ''Big Robots, Cool Starships'' has rules for designing [[Humongous Mecha\|Mecha]] running [[Space Opera]]-style games. Most of the extras in the supplements were folded into the second edition of ''BESM''.
