GB: end of an era

For those of us who still attend the First Church of BanGin - all good things must come to an end...and the GetBackers manga just did yesterday.

And I am thrilled to report that despite my fears about A&A-sensei, they came through. Super-super-happy ending, for the WIN.

I've only been haphazardly following the series, flipping through the weekly Shounen Mag chapters without trying to read them (trying to translate GB hurts my brain, yo. And my eyes, all those little kanji...) and sporadically checking the translations folks have been posting on [livejournal.com profile] getbackers. So I don't actually know what's going on - Ginji became 'god', went to an alternate (the real) universe and met his mom and discovered he'd died a long time before, Ban was going to vanish from existence from having used the Jagan more than thrice a day...yeah. Hurts my brain. So I don't know exactly how they got to this ending.

But sometimes pictures speak louder than words. So, yes. Happi endo!!



Kazuki's threesome:



My only regret is that Shido & Madoka didn't actually tie the knot. But hey! MakubeX is out and about! And has become a GitS fanboy!



Hevn is going to spend her ever after with Masaki (much to Ban's immense dismay.)


Masaki is saying "Mine!" in response to Ban's attempt to glom onto his sweetie's bosum last panel.

Team Transporter go!



And because I know you all are dying to know, does The Superhappy Ending mean that Emishi & Amon open a maid cafe together?
The answer is Yes. Yes, it does.




But the last pages really say it all:






"Let's go, Ginji!"
"Yeah, Ban-chan!!"

(the overlay text reads: "A shop of friends -- a tumult of ways -- the two sprinting...this town will never change!!")

^______^

NOW I'M ALL IN LOVE WITH WTF CROSSDRESSING MAIDS XDDDD
And even if there's canon background, Masaki/Hevn is still crackastic.
Apparently transporter!smex wouldn't be dumped off either...
The art of the last few pages I've seen so often I don't really feel for.
BUT THE MAIDS MAKE UP FOR EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING OH DEAR>>>

MAID CAFE? XDDDDDD;;; God, I love GetBackers. I'm sad it's over but... MAID CAFE FTW. XD

I've never read the GB manga, myself but it is nice to see how the manga ended. The ending they gave te GB anime is quite similar to the manga ending. I note some similarities. I really wish that they would have epanded the anime more so that it fit in the other archs but I'm hoping for a GetBackers movie or ova. ^^ Hopefully there will be one somewhere down the line!!

Thanks for posting!! GO BAN-CHAN AND GINJI!!!

Wait a minute. Didn't Amon die? I think I can conclude that someone resurrected him or whatever... But how, exactly?

The children? XD

[identity profile] kawaiitinita.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
KYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!! *saves all the pics*
I'm so happy it ended with no one dying!! But dammit Ginji couldn't have wished for himiko to still have long hair!!? >___>

Anyway, The G&B are back and still gonna kick ass even after it's ended!
Which means, MORE FANFICS!!! WOOOOO!!!

And for the record, after reading all these replies... I have to say again
GET BACKERS FANS ARE THE GREATEST IN ZE WORLD!!!
XDDDDDDD

[identity profile] gisho.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
... well, yes, the ones your icon shows were the children that popped into my head as soon as I saw that shot. XD

We're FANFICCERS. It's our DUTY to traumatize innocent minds!

OMG!!!!!!!! They almost make me cry!!!! I can´t love the Get Backers more!!! I´m so sad they ended but it seems like a "To be continued..." (just like the anime end) any way I like to think that they´ll be back in the future =,)

At some point I was hoping that Ban and Hevn end up together but... WTF I´m just SOOOO HAPPY!!!!

Thank you thank you

Ginji decide not to erase this world!

[identity profile] superraijin.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well Ginji is the god of this world and can do what he want! Whoa, to have a god like Ginji is awesome! But looks like they still have their own powers and Ginji seems to have raitei's power and not raitei's self anymore ! And Ban is still strong! But how strong Ginji became? As strong as Ban or stronger? Well I am sad to be trhough with the series but every beginning has its own end! So Get Backers Too! Amano Ginji and Mido Ban, I hope we'll heard of you again, dear buddies! Sayonara Lightening Emperor!

But in the manga, Teshimine has Paul, and Natsumi has Rena...so either way we get our boypr0n and girlpr0n. Oh, A&A-sensei <3

Actually the very final page is rather significant, for what's not there - see Mugenjou anywhere? ^_~

[identity profile] mistress-string.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
The fact that Kazuki is wearing glasses could be an answer for when he pulled his eye out. I believe earlier it was mentioned that she couldn't see very well. That's my theory at least.

[identity profile] xparrot.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Amon came back earlier this arc. I don't know how myself ^^; Some Mugenjou voodoo, I think, but...really need to read all I've missed!

[identity profile] mistress-string.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I would have to read this fanfic just to see what goes on.

[identity profile] superraijin.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
it's Ginji's will power given by his mother! heh as the power to make this world an utopia! He has the power of Volion, I think! The stronger Get Bckers is now Ginji, don't you think so?

[identity profile] ugbun.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
meow! Mullenkamp alwys comes through! This will do for my silly little wants. For now atleast, eh...maybe it will become inspiration to get me writing again. ha ha! Thanks <3

[identity profile] ugbun.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH, I SECOND THE GET BACKERS FANS ARE THE GREATEST IN ZE WORLD!!!!! Yes, I too am glad a great to be continued forever ending leaves our little minds to wander mischievously and produce FANFICS!!!

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THEM IS WHAT I WANT TO--

NO I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW SOMEONE CAN'T LIKE THEM

BUT I ALWAYS WILL♥♥♥

now I want to know how Ban survived, BUT. YOU KNOW WHAT. IT ENDED OKAY.

How about a Get Backers once more, like Dragon Ball Z

[identity profile] superraijin.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I don't know! What they will with Ginji and his world? I dunno, maybe making him seeing his mom again . It'll be Good!
But it makes me think of a thing: Dr.Amano & Amano Ginji are the rulers of the both worlds, aren't they? What'll happen next, well to be continued....... but every end lokk this way! In the end a beginning has its own end, sorry pal!

I am confused, I thought the limitless fortress was the tall group of buildings to the right of the page and it still stands. Am I wrong or did I make a misinterpretation what you were trying to say.
ext_3572: (bangin lean)

[identity profile] xparrot.livejournal.com 2007-02-22 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. I was thinking that wasn't the Infinite Fortress but regular skyscrapers in its place, since they look a lot brighter and less forboding than Mugenjou usually does. But I could be mistaken. Maybe it's just a happy Mugenjou!

[identity profile] strokeof-genie.livejournal.com 2007-02-23 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm crying a bit now.

I'm glad it was a good ending, one with resolutions. Or one that didn't raise anymore questions, at least because jeezus FMA whatthehellwasthat.

Thanks for posting! :D
