i just watched ep. 49, and i want to know, is it the last? the series ended kind of abruptly, did it get cancelled? did they run out of manga? are they planning a second season? IMO, the could have fleshed out the story quite a bit by going into Babylon City, defeating new enemies, saving the world, etc. the series ended kind of short, and the last episode was horrible. why? will i ever get to see more GetBackers? is this the end for my beloved series?

The Encyclopedia only goes up to 49 so I guess that's the end of the series. There's also no listing for a sequal so it appears this is everything.

um...especially nowadays, in the age of the 13-episode OVA, a series that goes 49 eps is already extraordinary!

I thought the last episode was pretty good. Anyway, as far as I know, the manga is still going on in Japan. I've heard rumors that they're already talking about a second anime series to continue the story. Hopefully this isn't the end, just a short break. In any case, if you want to keep up with it, pick up the manga.

Yup, it's the end, unfortunately... ah well, I really liked the last episode. I haven't heard any rumors about a second series, so I guess I'll just have to get hold of the manga (somehow) to satisfy my GB needs. It's still running in Japan (it's at its 22nd volume), and it was recently licensed in the US by TokyoPop.
I think the reason why it ended was that they simply ran out of money, and the show probably wasn't popular enough to be worth continuing for the producers (if I remember correctly, it ran very late at night - around midnight?). Btw, it's not the first time a story gets cut short in GB - it was the same with the Venus de Milo arc, and there are several other plotlines that remained hanging in the air, including the great mystery behind Yamato's death. And with all these references to secrets and old rivalries and stuff, I think that the creators wanted to make a much longer series, with more story packed in, than what they eventually did... It's sad that they couldn't do it. |

I thought they had explained Yamato's death. spoiler[He was supposedly one of the cursed children. In time he and Himiko would die being consumed by the curse, so when his time eventually came, Yamato asked Ban to kill him. There really was no resolution of the story for Himiko. We don't know what will happen to her, or whether she will find out her fate. ]
I really do hope there is a second season of the series or a OVA. I want some more in depth info on GB, and that last episode didn't resolve much. |

I'm currently in the midst of DLing ep 37 and I have to say I really like this series alot. Mido and Ginji are the best characters I"ve seen in quite some time.
I"ve heard that the difference between the manga and the anime is like night and day. I guess will see when the first volume is released in January. If we can wait that long. |
