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.
An excellent blend of comedy and action, keeps you laughing the whole way through while having a diverse storyline. The characters reveal more interesting parts about the their previous lives as the story progresses, keeping you hooked to find out what more is there to them. The combat/action is fluid and dynamic, adapting as they face new opponents but does not keep you bored by the person doing the same move over and over again like naruto when he learns something.
There is an episode purely for comedy after every story arc, so you'll want to keep watching to see what happens next, and to watch the hilarious episodes that makes it worthwhile and keeps you entertained.
