Getbackers
Synopsis
Mido Ban and Amano Ginji are known as the Get Backers, retrievers with a success rate of 100%. Whatever is lost or stolen, they can definitely get it back. Despite their powerful abilities and enthusiastic behavior, Ban and Ginji are terminally broke no matter what they do simply because few people would actually desire to hire them. As a result, the pair of them tend to do dangerous jobs, often leading to unwanted re-encounters with their old (and dangerous) friends.
Audience Consensus
GetBackers is a decent shonen anime with a unique premise, but it suffers from an incomplete story and inconsistent production quality. While many enjoy the characters, humor, and action, the anime's ending leaves viewers unsatisfied. The show is considered enjoyable for casual fans, but those seeking depth and originality may be disappointed.
