Ginji and Ban (GB, GetBack, get it?) have a 100% success rate retrieving lost or stolen  objects. The show starts with them retrieving the toy cat of a school girl. The toy cat was taken by a crooked cop who thought she had seen him dealing with the Yakuza, which she hadn\u2019t, but them\u2019s the breaks. So G&#038;B find the toy cat and in the process wipe out the yakuza gang and the bad cop. Turns out that G&#038;B have special powers. Ginji is the human equivalent of an electric eel and  Ban can give anyone hallucinations just by making eye contact.<\/p>\n<p>So, the first client we see, Mizuki, goes to work in the Pizza shop where G&#038;B hang out and the ground work is laid. G&#038;B are very good at what they do, but they never seem to end up with any money. They worked for Mizuki for a slice of pizza. Paul, the owner of the Pizza shop has an extensive spy network that gathers information for the boys and Hevn is a negotiator who arranges jobs for G&#038;B.<\/p>\n<p>Ginji is a the soft-hearted, trusting type, while Ban is more the cynical, suspicious type. The back stories for these guys seem to add complications to their current lives. Production values are a bit lame. They are using a cartoonish animation technique that I find distracting. It is usually used when expressing disbelief or puzzlement. While the individual stories are pretty hackneyed, I am interested in what the overall story arc is covering.<\/p>\n<p>I will give GetBackers a 6 out of ten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GetBackers is about a retrieval service.
