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
It seemed that it was a promising anime. Later on it showed to be a non-brainier and even boring. One of the main characters seemed schizophrenic having his personality changing all the time. The other was a joke.

I've watched several animes with poor stories and of low quality, but after watching this one (49 episodes), I felt that I've wasted my time on it. I only kept on watching because I hoped it would turn out better, but it did not. The last episode made me scream outloud "give back my 100 hours of my life!"

The killing part of this anime is the storyline. It kills you because it does not make sense at all. And believe me, it is really bad.

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.
