I am now completely caught up in Get Backers episodes.
And OMG WTF I am pissed.
Episode 40 runs like an insane humor fanfic despite the funny bits w/ Ban and Ginji. But, I swear, Shido was OOC in some parts.
41 is okay, concentrating on Hevn. Her past came out cliche but it's a good overall episode (like that one about the guy who can't remember his past). But the fact it's filler, not manga canon, annoys me to no end. So does 42, which is about Paul's past. The good thing is you get to see a young Paul but d00d he dressed skanky. (btw, I wish I knew who voiced Azuma, sounded like Inoue Kazuhiko at some parts.) Of course, with Azuma, even Paul seems slashy now. o_o
43+44 are the ones that royally piss me off. First they broke COMPLETELY from the manga, having Kurusu Masaki, aka the Fourth King, pop up so soon. Second, Toshiki pops up for the first time along with him, meaning the big Kami no Kijutsu arc isn't going to be animated. Third, they're using elements from several different manga story arcs (the ones they skipped *glare*) to create one jumbled anime story arc, creating new anime-only characters like Kaoru who apparently is in love with Raitei/Ginji. o_O Fourth, OH DEAR GOD NO, Fudo is back. Ban, I empathize with you (i.e. Dammit, Fudo!! Why won't you just DIE!?). IYAAAAAAaaaaa~!!!!!11!
Good things: That flashback bit of Raitei and the Four Kings. Masaki was all nice and smiley w/ Raitei and then he RUFFLED Raitei's spiky, staticky hair. O_o And Raitei GIGGLED. o_O Dunno whether to die from the cute or the weirdness of it all. Wish I could figure out how to screencap that. Ren is also brought back but now she's all quiet cuz of what happened at the end of the Mugenjou arc. Nice to have Toshiki pick her up and show their connection w/ Kazuki. Speaking of, they animated the flashback where Kadsuki introduces Juubei to Toshiki pretty accurately. And the appearance of Teshimine-san made me squeal and I don't know why. Hee, he's going to help Ginji. ^_^
If in this anime arc, Ginji goes super!Raitei and Ban dumps him like in vol. 21, and the issue gets wrapped up neatly, I'll destroy something.
random fanfic quote: "Ah, Hevn-san thought Midou-san might be good for this job, but I want you guys instead," Ginji said, so off-hand that it was undeniable. "Is that all right, Hevn-san?" --Ginji talking to Kadsuki and Shido
.............ooh, OUCH. >_O
Ow for Ban. btw full fic here.
