GetBackers - I love Chibi Ginji!!
GetBackers is one of my favorite anime. I first watched it on TV years ago but then, I only managed to catch less than half of it. Recently, I managed to watch the full 49 episodes. ^-^ It's fun to watch and I enjoy it tremendously.
Plot: (8/10) – Good
Midou Ban and Amano Ginji are known as the ‘Getbackers’. Their motto is ‘If it's stolen, we can get it back!’. So far, their success rate is 100%, meaning they always get the job done. Amano Ginji is known as thunder emperor ‘Raitei’, and has the ability absorb and generate electricity. The other member, Midou Ban has super strength (his grip strength is 200kg) and he has the power of the devil eye, which can make people see dreams. Their job often leads them into bizarre and dangerous situations. Their targets range from lost paintings to components of an atomic bomb. The plot revolves around their adventures, their individual sad pasts and a mysterious place known as the Infinite Castle (Mugenjou).
This series is exciting and a joy to watch. It has a nice mix of action and humor. The first two episodes are quite entertaining, but GetBackers get really interesting when friends and enemies start showing up to put Ban and Ginji through their paces, and to give the series the dangerous edge.
Art: (8/10) – Good
This series is very lively and colorful. It’s filled with a lot of intense, graphic action and nicely animated motion. I love the character design as it fits the personalities of the different characters very well.
Music: 7/10 – Fairly Good
I don’t exactly enjoy the Opening and Ending themes. As for the Original Soundtrack, I think it matches the series pretty well.
Character: 10/10 - Awesome
I love this series for its characters. They have very interesting personalities and they are all very likable. My favorite character is Ginji. He’s quite a brainless guy and I don’t usually like brainless characters. However, he’s very loyal, kind, extremely cute and I love the way he goes into chibi form randomly. He's the cutest chibi!!
Enjoyment: 9/10 – Great
I love this series and it’s a pity that it only covers part of the manga story.
Overall: 9/10 - Great
The characters are likable and the humor is well placed. If you like action and humor, this is a definite must watch!
