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.
GetBackers is a very refreshing anime. It is another classic that I highly recommend. I find it pretty funny at times and the adventures of Ban and Ginji are always exciting. It's a little scifi/fantasy (I can't really tell) because a lot of the characters have special abilities they use to fight. As Ban and Ginji accept missions, you learn more and more about them and I think you'll grow to like them a lot. The dialogue and animation are both very fluid. I do have to give you a warning though, the story begins to drag out in the end and is not as interesting as the first twenty or so episodes. Viewers of all ages can enjoy this anime.
