GetBackers English Sub & Dub

About GetBackers

GetBackers (GetBackers 奪還屋) arrives as an action anime by Studio DEEN (2002), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: Ban Mido and Ginji Amano run a freelance business of recovering anything lost or stolen from a client—and they claim a 100% success rate. They call themselves the GetBackers, and they're a super powered duo whose job lands them in dangerous predicaments.

More of the story: Although they have many adventures on their recovery quests, each has an enigmatic past that rears its ugly head at the most inoportune moments. It's wild and crazy and one awesome anime ride!

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Ban Mido (Nobutoshi Kanna) and Ginji Amano (Shoutarou Morikubo) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 49 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Studio DEEN, so the studio's house style defines how GetBackers looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.1/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Nobutoshi Kanna as Ban Mido, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2002, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
