add recBoth GetBackers and Trigun have interesting and unique stories, and while the two stories aren't similar to one another, they share a lot in terms of comedy. Vash fron Trigun and one of the main characters in GetBackers, Ginji are similar characters and both have deep pasts that are shown beautifully throughout their respective series.
If you liked the outlandish comedy alongside the good story and fight scenes in one of these series, you should find a sense of familiarity in the other.
Trigun and Get Backers are loads of fun, but have sad stories hiding in their respective backgrounds. The main characters both suffer from sad and terrible pasts but have embraced their new lives with joy and energy, never letting on about the pain they must feel. In each anime the main characters influence people along the way and work out their pasts.
I'd recommend watching both of these anime. If you liked one, you should like the other!
Okay i've seen that Trigun and Getbackers got something in common and its the past. Trigun and Getbackers got some mysterious and dark past and their past is still haunting forever. The story of those two anime is revolving around their past, everything that they do is related with their past.
Both of this series got comedy that i believe you will love it. LOL so much fun .. It's a must to watch both of it!!

add recBoth Kenshin and Getbackers are normal shounen anime; they don't take it to extremes like DBZ or Tenjou Tenge. On top of that, both mix in comedy and a story pretty well.
It only struck while watching Get Backers, is that the entire feel of the anime appears to literally be a mirror image of that found in Rurouni Kenshin. Indeed, this is only one of a massive amount of similarities that seem to make this odd match of anime a brilliant pair. Both take a little while to get started, but once they do, your continually thrown into the storyline. Given that all the characters from both series have a longing of escaping from their past, it certainly is uncanning the number of times you realise the sheer number of similarities these two very different series share.

add recWorking with the constant knowledge of wondering where the next meal will be coming from as a result of being constantly broke, is perhaps the most common theme in these two series. And although in Cowboy other characters join the pair, the attention is held on the two of them, similiar to Getbackers. Either way, the artistic style and overall feel of these two series make them well worth watching.
Gintama
- TV (184+ eps)
- 2006 - ?
In Gintoki's Japan, the arrival of the various space races known collectively as the Amanto ended the era of the samurai. The Amanto's highly advanced technology resulted in total conquest and a severe economic shift. Now, former samurai such as Gintoki scrape together whatever livelihood they can. Gintoki's profession of choice is that of a yorozuya: he'll complete any job for money. However, he’s unmotivated; and spending most of the day on the couch with the latest issue of Jump and a carton of Strawberry Milk is his preferred pastime. It turns out that his new unpaid employees, Shinpachi and Kagura, are going to interfere with his pastime even more than with his "work"! Of course, none of this means he has really given up on his samurai ideologies!

add recGintama and Get Backers both centralize on a very small group of people struggling to survive who have skills that aren't necessarily useful unless they are doing work (which they seldom find).They all have to take on odd jobs to pay the costs of living and manage to barely scrape by. Per usual in both, no job is simply straightforward and hilarious antics ensue.
Both series have both a comedy and more serious streak running through them. Many of the episodes have the laughs and a lot of "in" jokes - Gintama especially tailored to the otaku viewers.
The relationships between friends, and the strong bonds formed are probably the main theme in both of these series, as well as fighting as the underdog.
Both series are mostly lighthearted and full of high-energy action scenes, yet have moments of seriousness as well. They're also both full of bizarre and yet totally likable characters, as well as characters who alternate between being friend and foe. GetBackers is a bit darker but the underlying mood of the two shows is very similar.
