SynopsisMido 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 little 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. Based on the manga by Yuya Aoki and Rando Ayamine. |

Story (8.3) - The story is about a team of 2 elements called "Get backers". Amano Ginji and Midou Ban are the members..and their job is to recover things that were lost, stolen, etc.. Amano Ginji is also know as thunder emperor, and has the abillity of generating electricity; Midou Ban has the power of the devil eye, wich can make people see dreams .
As the story goes, they meet new people with powers, some friends, others enemies..is in fact very interesting, and i liked it.
Ok, its not the most amazing story i´ve saw, but i really liked it...it has lot of action, a lot of funny moments, and thats fine to spend some time.
Art (8.0) - Art, for an anime with some years already, i think its pretty good. Much better than some ive seen that are more recent..I liked the character design, the graphics are ok, the effects i think are also good. So 8 in this aspect sound nice.
Sound (8.1) - lol, another 8..yep, in my opinion all aspects in this anime are great. Although i didnt like 1 of the op and 1 of the ed, the rest is acceptable and it gives some ambience to the action, really nice.
Character (9.7) - What can i say...i´m a suspect in here..i really liked a lot of characters from this one..Ban, ginji, akabane (my favourite), Shido, kurusu, the protectors, kakei jubei, and some more...but in my opinion i know some things of each character, and they look good..i liked it ..perfect.
Enjoyment (9.8) - Other than a 10 i would be lying...well, at start it didnt catch a lot of my attention, but as i start to proceed i got interested..it reached a point were i was counting the minutes to the time to watch the next episode, and that means in my opinion that it got my full interest, and i really enjoyed the time i spent watching it.
Overall - (9.0) i think ive said everything..for me its a good one to see, you may have a different opinion but i´m happy for the time i spent watching all the 49 episodes. read more

Story: Very good backstory for the starting and it expands even more as you watch. There is a fair amount of filler in the anime but all enjoyable. However the main story is one of the best I have ever seen. The only thing is it stops halfway through the story. The anime ends while the manga which it is baised off goes on further. At the end you are thinking "Well I will just whatch the next episode" then you realise "WHAT I WATCHED IT ALL@!?!?! BUT IT WAS JUST GETTING GOOD!" That is why I gave it a 8. I would have given it a 10 if it didnt end like that.
Animation: Pretty good, it is getting to be a older animation so you will see its age but that shouldn't matter.
Sound: pretty good nothing special.
Character: Great characters they have great story's to them and they follow there personality's to. Very funny to at times.
Enjoyment: I loved this series but it ended so quickly :(
Overall: Very good series, if you like action and humor and a good story check it out. read more

Both series have similar characters.
It's quite similar considering that Both Black Cat and GetBackers share a main English Voice Actor (Jason Liebrecht plays both Train and Ban in both series respectively), As well the music is done by Taku Iwasaki in both series. The fact that both series have goofy characters like Sven and Ginji and the more serious character like Train and Ban. Means this is almost a clone of it.
In both animes the characters are followed by their past, and have to fight it. Also they have a great sense of protecting each other.
Both have nice action, it's really funny and in both animes the music is made by Taku Iwasaki !!
Full of action, quirky heroes with dark pasts. Storyline very similar as well.

Getbackers was an enjoyable anime that has the same type of feeling as Bus gamer. the character style is similar, one goofy fun character and then a cold less caring one (bus gamer has two)
The similarities between these titles are a bit random but nonetheless very much there. Both series have an overall dark atmosphere but still inject a bit of comedy every so often. Plotwise, both involve a small group of men who go on some sort of retrieving mission. Finally, both are most worth watching for characters and their dynamics rather than any sort of plot or action they contain.
