The Getbackers is a great anime, it may be really old, in fact it was one of the first I have ever seen but let me tell you it is just amazing! An action packed anime with a great story, full of suspense and a few great jokes- all these aspects are balanced so well that you have a hard time not liking this anime. It will plunge you into a world full of senselessness that turns out to make sense- just watch it!
The GetBackers refers to a group of two, 'Ginji' and "Ban', both with very deep and dark pasts. But they have put everything behind them and now run a professional recovery service, they recover lost or stolen items for a fee. These two are the most crazy, strong and amazing characters I may have ever come across. As the series continues, aspects from their past catch up to them and they have experiences and go through events that they believe would never happen. Ginji who can conduct and control electricity used to be the leader of a gang called the volts and had many loyal subordinates who are shown during the series. He rules an abandoned and extremely dangerous area called the Limitless Fortress- but he mysteriously leaves and meets Ban. Ban was constantly traveling, he has crazy powers and has something called a Jagon eye- he can manipulate an enemy's mind for a minute using it. They have friends and enemies who all play important roles at some point. I will not say more, there are many more things I can tell you but its better to just go and see it!
Ill come to the drawbacks, the series tries to be realistic, but with powers like Jagon and controlling electricity it becomes hard. Also this is one of those irritating series where almost each and every episode ends in such a way you will be dieing to know whats going to happen next episode- it's just a bit annoying.
I give the anime a 9 1/2. Its great entertainment.
