Get Backers

Get Backers is one of my favorite anime shows. There are two main characters in this show. They are Ginji and Ban Mido (my fav.). Ban Mido, the one who is the best when it comes to fight. According to many others in this anime, he is a genius in battle. These two form the G and B of the GetBackers. Their work is to get back what the client loses. They don’t have luck with money and even though they solve the case they don’t get paid for that. Dr. Jackal is a great fighter and always likes to kill his opponents until he gets some word of advice from the soft and funny Ginji. Ban Mido has the special power with which he can make his opponent who sees his eyes to see a dream which lasts for one minute in real world. Thats the Evil Eye and he also has another power which is called the snakebite. Ginji is the lightening lord and can generate electricity from his body. He transforms into a more powerful man when his emotions go out of control.

I also like Dr. Jackal who has small knifes inside his body and he can control them even when they are in air. He likes to fight Ban and Gijni (in transformed state) more than other fighters. You can check the wikipedia article for other character informations. I am planning to download the entire GB series.
