Watch GetBackers Online

The series tells the story of Ginji Amano and Ban Mido, a pair of superpowered individuals known as the GetBackers. The duo operates a freelance repossession service out of one of the seedier areas of Shinjuku, Tokyo. For a fee, they will recover any lost or stolen item for a client with an "almost 100% success rate".

The GetBackers' job often leads them into bizarre and dangerous situations in order to "get back what shouldn't be gone". Their targets range from lost video games to misplaced components of an atomic bomb. The plot mostly revolves around their adventures, often complicated by the pair's convoluted, individual pasts and a mysterious place known as the Limitless Fortress.

The Limitless Fortress (Maze City in the Animax Dub) is a conglomeration of disused, condemned buildings that have, through chance or design, clustered together to form a self-contained habitat. Many smaller buildings surround its ground level, serving as the entrance to the fortress, while the core is formed of one especially tall tower that is said to have originally been planned to be a highly-advanced domicile, only to have construction abandoned mid-way. The Fortress was soon subdivided into three specific tiers - Lower Town, the Beltline and Babylon City.

Lower Town is the lowest portion of The Limitless Fortress, with several layers extending below ground level. It is populated by a vast number of society's disenfranchised and destitute, those who have come to Infinity Fortress because they have nowhere else to go. The inhabitants are subject to bizarre electromagnetic waves under the control of the "God", which subtly manipulate and control the electrical brain impulses of the fortress's inhabitants and warp their perceptions of reality.

The Beltline, the most dangerous area of The Limitless Fortress, is ruled by Der Kaiser, a mysterious man and Ban's father. The citizens of the Beltline are said to be immortal and imperishable, and they 'will rise back from the dead everytime they are attacked'. Every single person from the Beltline has a hideous death-like appearance and a frightening strength.
