I was hooked on getbackers from the get go. Season 2 in many ways is almost better than the first. The humour is more outrageous and the action is more compelling. Ban and Ginji are still as unlucky with money as always,but slowly the story begins to unravel the mystery of these two unfortunates in material wealth but wealthy in friendship.
I have watched alot of anime in my time, but this is a stand alone series that is well worth the watch.
That being said its one major flaw is the fact that the series tries to see the good in everyone no matter what. So it can come across as a little bit pretentious,but it is a nice idea never the less that friendship and compassion can overcome any obstacle and in that the series gets better.

If you have seen the first season of GetBackers and were somewhat dissatisfied with the ending than the second season completes most of those questions from the first. Half of the second season has Ban and Genji doing their usual job that at the end either causes them to not get paid or having to pay the damages with no money at the end. The rest of the season has them going back to the Limitless fortress to find out what has happened both with Makubex and the other people living inside the Limitless fortress. I do advise that people watch the first season to know who the characters are and what is going on with the series because if you don't you'll probably be confused for most of this season. The series is mostly light-hearted until the second half than it becomes a bit more dramatic. While there are fight scenes they aren't truly bloody or gory so this series can be seen by both adults and kids alike. The video is widescreen and the picture is clear and sharp. The Japanese voice actors did a terrific job as did most of the English voice actors though there are one or two that the English voice cast could have done without. I say to anime fans that this series is definitely one for their collection to get. Also I've seen that they have a new Getbackers 1&2 box set so for the price I say buy that one but if you're still unsure about this series try watching this series on t.v.(They show some episodes on the G4 channel and International Channel on Cox Digital Cable) and see if you like the series enough to get this new box set..

got this as a gift for a friend but watched it and loved it would recomend this highly

First off, the series is very well done and a lot of fun to watch. Ban and Ginji are very funny characters, and they always seem to get the job done. Other characters are quirky and interesting, and there is a lot of emotion packed into some parts of the story making it more than just a pure comical series with some real emotion tied into the slapstick of much of the series. There is also good action and animation that tells the story very well. Why the negative review, then? $90 plus is unreasonable for this SECOND SEASON ONLY box, when the complete two season set is ten dollars less. Some of you may already have season one, but it actually makes more sense to have a duplicate copy of the first season and pay a lot less money than to spend over $100 (with shipping) for only half of the series. Give your first season box set to a friend and buy the two season set instead of this.

I found a few episodes on at&t cable for free and checked out amazon there it was wish it was longer only 2 seasons ! Great Ban mido and Genji aminno Are cool.
