Synopsis

They're the Get Backers, and they live by a simple motto: If it was taken, we'll get it back. Their success rate is 100%. They may have no luck with money, but they always come through on a job, no matter how small. Ban and Ginji are no ordinary retrieval service though. With Ginji's ability to generate lightning and Ban's Jagan Eye and 200kg force grip, they'll take on any job, from retrieving stuffed toys to fine art to lost memories. If the GetBackers say they'll get it back, they will!

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Carpe_Diem12 Now I am a huge fan of anime but I despise anime's that builds it's reputation on jiggly breast which is why I didn't give this one a chance when I first caught the trailer for it.. It was not until it was dubbed in English and aired on Anime Network did I decide to give it a chance. I can not tell you how upset I am at myself for not catching this series earlier. It has such a unique and fantastic story line that it sets apart from many other anime series out there. Although there are parts where the breast are just popping out everywhere this series does not thrive on that particular aspect.The show lingers on trying to find out exactly who is controlling the limitless fortress which is an unfinished colossal building and city which contains many citizens who are not so prosperous. That also includes the four kings. A group of powerful people who controlled the limitless fortress before the leader Ginji Amano left the group. Since then the place has been controlled by (apparently) money hungry blood thirsty weirdos who never show their faces and send henchmen to do their dirty work.. They also try to find out if whether or not the ex leader of the four kings Ginji Amano can control his unearthly electrical powers which sometimes consumes him to a point where he does not even know who he is anymore.The only problem with this series I would say is that at the very last episode (WARNING HERE COMES A BIG SPOILER) they never even showed who the hell was behind the door to the top of the limitless fortress!!! I mean they rescued Makubex when he was kidnapped, that fire woman healed Sakura after she nearly killed her and then when they get to the door where the end of the people who are controlling the limitless fortress are, (which is what the entire series was bent on) THEY DON'T EVEN SHOW US, AND THE SERIES ENDS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I love cliffhangers as much as the next person but damnit sometimes people can just go to far..All in all each episode is filled with much excitement to keep you wanting more (especially the last) so this is a must see series.. I loved it lots and I give it a 7 out of 10.. If the last episode would have ended better I'd give it a 10 but noooooooo..
fatemaster2003 This is the best anime I have ever seen. The story is about 2 man, Midou Ban and Amano Ginji, whose job is to get everythng that was lost, back. In this case, everything really means everything. I really like the doll-like ginji. He is really cute when he acted that way. Well, to be honest, maybe Ginji is the only one with this funny figure in this movie.The movie, not only talk about their "how to get things back", but also their complex background. Well, in this movie, everyone have their own background. There are Amano Ginji, the raitei; kazuki fuuchoin (the master of string); Shido Fuyuki (beast master); Kakei Juubei (kazuki's protector); Akabane Kuuroudo aka Dr. Jackal (the best antagonist and cool character to my opinion); Himiko (poison master) and a lot more. Even the bar keeper has his own background.Well, the story is quite complex but yet, entertaining. So,don't think about anything else that will make you confused. Enjoy the movie without questions ask. That's the best way to watch this movie.P.S.: For a better voices, if possible, use the Japanese audio. The sound will be much more cuter than the English audio, which to my opinion, didn't suit the characters at all.Enjoy!!!! My rating: 10/10
shivjm Like sowbi, I too came across this series completely by accident. I turned on the TV one day and started channel surfing, and suddenly saw a new channel -- "Animax" -- with these two guys with cool powers fighting off a few thugs. The voice acting was pretty laughable, but the series captured my imagination. I started watching from the "Venus di Milo" episodes, missed quite a bit, then watched around 47 of the 49 episodes almost religiously! As I said, the voice acting was pretty laughable. However, it wasn't because the actors were bad. It was laughable for the simple reason that Animax appears to use the same three or four actors to do the voices for every single character in every single series. The actors themselves are extremely talented -- they'd have to be, in this situation! -- but it's a little weird to hear one of the villains being voiced by the same guy who gives the voice for one of the heroes (no, they're not supposed to be related or anything like that).Get Backers is, as mentioned earlier, one of my favourite anime series. The cast of characters is amazing. Every single character encountered is fascinating. The animation isn't all that great; the art is quite inconsistent. However, far from dragging the series down, it actually improves on it by lending it personality. Also, the series ending (which has a fairly long buildup) is probably the most well-executed ending I've ever seen.In closing, let me voice my only complaint: Get Backers only lasted for one season of 49 episodes. I want more!
Dai-Panda This anime, along with Cowboy Bebop, revived my love of anime. It is original, full of great characters, has a healthy portion of humour, and superb animation. I cannot find more words than that to describe it, but it truly is one of the very best animeshows of all-time. The characters of Mido Ban, and Amano Ginji... it is rare to find characters that feel as if they truly are best friends. There are a few irritations though, such as a slight 'DBZ'/'Naruto'-syndrome on some of the fights, that is, they last for several episodes, and consists mostly of back flashes and silent contemplation of the various things moving through the fighters heads. It makes up for this though, with a very colourful array of characters, such as the two main characters, and of course, the personal favourite; Akabane Kurodou. This truly is, a must-see anime, for all who love the great and original.
