Based on the popular manga, this is the animated version still carrying the legacy of the famed manga.

It's about two men with the simple wish of being rich. Midou Ban can make people hallucinate and has the gripping power of 200kg, while his partner Amano Ginji can generate electricity throughout his body.

The story is all about their escapades while retrieving the objective of their mission. Throughout their mission, they encounter new and old enemies and friends, all of them linked to each other in one way or another.

The amazing aspect of this anime are the transitions of the story. Although short, you can quickly go with the flow. One more great feature is the amazing abilities that each character possesses, some of them are even superhuman. An example is Dr. Jackal Akabane Kuroudo, who's fond of killing and has an intense thirst for blood which he relates to Midou who he says is just the same as him.

As for the sounds, the BGM is always closely related to the events on screen, and Midou has a talent for music. The character designs are stunning, boasting the creative use of chibi layout (or sometimes the South Park character design).
