WELCOME!! We are glad that you are reading our newsletter. However, we need much more participation from everyone. We want poetry, short stories and fan art from members of the club. We would also like for members to submit articles of series that they might like. Or just a shout out or gram for someone in the club.
ANIME SPOTLIGHTS GET BACKERS Get Backers is primarily the story of Ginji Amano and Ban Midou, two chronically broke but super empowered youths who run a "recovery service" (recovering lost or stolen things for a price). The principle behind their jobs and behind most of the series is "If it was taken, get it back." In other words, Get Backers is a series about reconciling past and future. Particularly in the first season the tone is often light and fun, but the second season is a long arc in which we begin to see snatches of the secret of the Limitless Fortress--the central mystery of the Get Backers world. After this arc, in which Get Backers and company save Shinjuku from being destroyed by Ginji's old friend Makubex, a series of one-shot character development episodes leads into the climax of the series, where Ban and Ginji find themselves headed back into the Limitless Fortress. This time, though, instead of saving the Limitless Fortress from Makubex, it's the other way around.
E’s Otherwise Born through mutations, E's possess abilities that far exceed normal human beings; the story begins with a lonesome 15-years-old Kai Kudo who has powers different from the rest. He and his sickly sister are protected from the world by an organization called ASHURUM. Scouted by Eiji, Kai is delegated to the ASHURUM special force AESES and undergoes intensive training in the use of his powers. But Kai faces something he never expected on his first mission...
