I've seen the first 5 eps and so far it's great, I definitely want to see the rest before too long.

So I must assume that the content isn't that bad. I noticed the manga had very strong language and nudity.

I may pick up the DVDs if you humans think I should.

I like that guy's purple glasses.

I saw a few subbed episodes a while back and liked them alot. I remember some language and violence, but nothing past pg-13 levels. Now that it's licenced here, I'll definitely be renting the episodes I haven't seen yet.

Yes, the manga was quite fanservice-heavy. From everything that I have heard, the anime is considerably cleaner; the only thing that could be considered fanservice is the revealing outfits that CeilingNinja mentioned.

The manga's bad, but I don't know about the anime.
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

Seen it. Getbackers's quite popular in this part of the world. Didn't interest me, though; it seemed too much like your usual seemingly-daft mercenarial-bishounen-with-powers whose pasts are revealed one by one and dealt with. Judging from your comments on the manga, I really wouldn't have guessed that was the sort of thing the anime came from. But I loved the Ichibyou no Refrain ED and Makubex's character.
