GetBackers Manga

[Djanki]

Last week, I got to go to Borders, and I got a few books...'Jurassic Park', 'Prey', 'Angels and Demons', 'Deception Point'...then I got a few manga...'flcl #1', 'Black Cat #2'....
...AND TWO GET BACKERS MANGA! (volumes 13 and 14)!!!

*turns into serious-anime-critic mode*

I saw the series first, but not completely...the last episode I saw was 'GetBackers Vs. High-School girl', so I was a little lost as to where these volumes were, chronologically. In short, they are AWESOME. Okay, so Get Backers isn't the GOD of all anime...but I love it!!

A few minor complaints: there are more curse words and...'topless' or 'near topless' moments in here than in the anime...but, hey, it's acceptable (Hevn...Natsumi....girl that works at the traffic department that keeps towing Ginji and Ban's car....^v^). But, I did see a little TOO much of Kazuki's girly side....what's worse, at a hot spring....T_T....but, I <3 it.


.....this really belongs in an anime forum, doesn't it?

Hey, I was planning on putting that in my original post, you know! Ironic!

Get Backers vs High School girl is the best episode ever. `XD
Get Backers is awesome, and so is Djanki. Everyone should be like Djanki.

That was my fave episode....
....only Dr. Jackal escaped the hazings! LOL!

That's not the first time it was suggested that people should be more like me, you know. Teachers have said it, too. If that's the case, then let's all get Asperger Syndrome, have a crush on Natsumi and wonder about WTF Sailor Moon was!

 All hail the beaty of the armless Venus de Milo, the hotness of Himiko, Hevn, and Natsumi, and the unrivaled fury of High School Girls!

...great...first I was sig'd in another forum (The phrase was 'cat + guy = potential arrest for improper treatment of a cat). Now my sig is hailed.
I guess lots of people hate the 'Scouts, eh...

Dude, the American version of them I stumbled upon, as well, in a trip to Canada when I was three. Now I'm like this.

Question: Why not bring the Getbackers to [adult swim] after Bleach?

Because they need to stop putting so much f***ing anime on AS.

*Ignores last post*

Forgot to mention: Volume 14 brought a list of who was the most popular 'GetBacker', which was determined by some survey in 2001--here it is:

1. Ginji Amano-- 3825 votes
2. Dr. Jackal-- 3369 votes
3. Ban Mido-- 2842 votes
4. Kazuki Fuuchouin-- 1775 votes
5. MakubeX 903
6. Shido Fuyuki 657
7. Juubei Kakei
8. Yukihiko Miroku 351
9. Himiko Kudo 283
10 Hevn (?!) 256
....
11Natsumi (?!) 208
...
17. Paul 91
18. Madoka 79
...
21. Traffic Department Girl (lol)
...
26. Clayman
...
32. Mozart (the dog--lol)


The whole list is 37 characters, but the rest, I don't know or care about.

Just one problem with this, though: Why'd Hevn and Natsumi score so low?! I though guys liked high-school girls!

So, as far as I understand you´re complaining about...breasts. Now, there's a question that won´t stop ringing in my head...should I ask?

Anyway, is Get-Backers any good? What´s it about?
