My thought :
This's a nice action series. Every case solve with unpredictable solution, that made me hard to predict. Have nice comedy in it too, especially when Ginji turn into chibi mode and cry when he bullied by his friends. I must say I kinda disappointed wiith the anime, because it's not showing the whole things about Getbackers. But basically the anime is okay, funny, and have good opening and ending songs. About the manga, have a good art, easy to understand, and even too cool to describe such of actions and effects.
