Will Always Make You Laugh

A much under-appreciated anime. I found this anime to be rather entertaining, and in between fight scenes that put some of the more popular animes to shame, there's a whole lot of laughs.

The manga, while I enjoyed it, had so many random fanservice moments that the series went down a peg or two in entertainment since it seemed to center more often than not on panty shots and various boob jiggles and close ups. The anime actually diminishes the focus from ecchi (odd in itself, since the anime versions of manga usually do the exact opposite) to a well balanced anime.

The GetBackers is an anime that most people might be able to relate to a bit better than the usual 'super powers' and action. Ban and Giniji are always bailing their car out of the impound and what money they get from their GetBackers job goes to paying tickets or their tab at the local bar/restaurant. The plot is fascinating, more so when you get to the end, and each episode steadily advances the plot while revealing a bit more about the main characters.

tl;dr - This ROCKED, watch it and you'll be hooked as well.
