So with it being out, what do you think of it?

What are your opinions of classes, mechanics and the powers?
Balanced?
Do they work?

I got to run it a couple sessions & everyone had fun. The biggest hurdle for it is the same as any pointbuy system where players need to accept that they need to hold back their inner munchkin & the gm needs a lot more say on where the line is with character advancement choices. If you have a group that can manage that it can be a lot of fun woth lots of neat character options

Hoes doe it handle the powers in your opinion over the other 5e supers systems which tend to have spells as powers?

I can't think of any "5e supers systems" but have run some supers games like icons the marvel d10 thing & a Savage worlds one & it worked pretty well in comparison.

Think Slayers, knights & magic, overlord, fairy tale, so I'm a spider/slime, & so on more than Lodoss War, goblin Slayer, etc.

Edit: the reason we stopped was because we moved to levelup5e

I have Level Up and had been meaning to run a game using it at some point soon.
On the 5e Supers, there is Capes & Crooks, Supers & Sorcery, and S5E. They're the main ones.

All are pretty good, and like any games have both good and bad points - my main peeve is using spells as powers.

Whereas Anime 5e seems to go a M&M 2e type route, just that powers are not puissant and varied, and in so doing keeps a mostly 5e orientated game structure from what I can see.

Okay so looking at the powers they are essentially the same, incl. point costs from M&M 2e. Some powers seem hew but will have to check that in more detail tomorrow night.
