Summary:
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.
So entertaining! Ban and Ginji are truly amazing ;) I liked everything of them. On the other hand... Kazuki pissed me off! I don't like that type of characters who act and looks like a girl but actually aren't. There was suprisingly a lot of people whom I didn't like, but the main characters somehow helped here. I liked Ginji the most as the Lighting Emperor, it's a shame that he was 'forbidden' to become like this... to the end not much was said about Ban - what were his powers, how was he related to witches and why it was cursed... As the theme of 'last children' - Himiko and her brother. But homour and honest appearance of Ginji, his chibi versions and especially his moments with scary Akabane were thing to make you cry from laughing ;) The thing I didn't like - comming to the end there were a lot of 'usual' eps with missions with no point and then suddenly new 'important' mission which could be just the most important in the serie! and then because of those, let's say 'fillers' this adventure was too short and missed something very important and interesting. So unsatisfiting!;/ but even without that it was good ending ;)
I didn't like openings, but endings were great ;) Nice songs with funny and good animations, even now, after wathing GB I like to listen to them and watch them.
GB is an anime that I can truly recommed to those who likes funny and light series, with some good fights and inteligent dialogue. It's a tale of a friendship for a life time and trust to those nearest. Really, really worth watching :)
