Fantasy Novel

Notes

Classification -

Synopsis Two young men offer a service of getting back any object that has become lost. At first business is poor. Their first client is a schoolgirl who has lost a memento to a corrupt cop.

Review The series opens with a schoolgirl taking a short cut through a dark alley and stumbling on a cop in uniform doing business with some Yakuza types. In a struggle she gets away, but loses a little toy of the sort that schoolgirls often have dangling from their bags, etc, which may have her name on it.
Later she sees a poster advertising the "Get-backers" and finds the coffee shop where they hang out, bumming meals on credit from the "Master". Initially they are not interested, but change their minds when she pleads with them and explains that it's a memento of her dead mother.
The duo take the case on, and identify the corrupt cop, but he has his crooked pals kidnap the schoolgirl. There is a final confrontation which is resolved when the duo are revealed as having some super powers(!). In the end the girl gets back the cat-toy made for her by her dead mother, and takes a part-time job at the coffee-shop. (She's very pretty too).
This is quite fun to watch, and quite well animated, but overall it's average stuff, and the main characters' special powers have a "deus ex machina" air and don't fit well with the realistic feel of the remainder.
