GetBackers





Synopsis
Ban Mido and Ginji Amano are a recovery duo infamously known as "GetBackers." Ban possesses two special powers: the "Snake Bite" (his hands have a gripping power of 200kg) and the "Evil Eye" (anyone who looks into his eyes will be locked into a powerful and nightmarish hallucination). Ginji, on the other hand, has the ability to generate thousands of volts of electricity from his body. Together, they run a freelance business of recovering anything lost or stolen from a client - and they claim a 100% success rate at their job.

Member Review
This anime has its ups and downs. However after 10 episodes or so it mostly just going downhill. The characters are cute and likable, I especially liked Ginji. The OST isn't anything special but not terrible either, same can be said for animation. There are also alot of anime clichés to be found in the series, verything from characters to places really (like the Honky-Tonk bar).
If you liked Hunter X Hunter you'll probably like this one, it has the super powers where scientific explantations don't really matter and it shares the same slow-but-steady pace.

In the end I'd give this anime a 5.5/10, I found it to be watchable but it won't go well everyone.

Characters
Ban Mido
The first impression one usually gets of Ban would be that he is a rude person with a great sense of pride. With his unruly hair (He's often called "Urchin Head") and sunglasses, people immediately judge him poorly (It doesn't help that he gives unflattering nicknames to almost anyone he meets, e.g. "monkey trainer" Shido Fuyuki and "thread spool" Kazuki Fuuchouin). Despite this, he is actually a great guy with a strong sense of leadership and a very talented person. He is one quarter German and the grandchild of the "Last Witch of the 20th Century".


Genji Amano
He's the current partner of Ban Mido and was once the fearsome "Lightning Emperor" and the leader of a gang called "The Volts" in the Infinity Fortress. He received the title "Raitei" (literally, "Lightning Emperor") because of his ability to control electricity. This control grants him several unique abilities such as amazing regenerative power as well as the ability to become a human magnet and battery.
