Overview:
Unless you're a serious follower of sci-fi anime or Gonzo (the latter being pretty unlikely, given their rather poor reputation in the anime community), it is highly doubtful that the words "Solty Rei", referring to an extremely obscure anime from the mid-2000s, ring even the faintest of bells. I myself only came across the anime by accident via a now-taken down video from Youtube, and ultimately decided to check it out because it seemed interesting. While I can't say I regret watching it, I wouldn't put it particularly high on my rewatch list, as it doesn't really stand out in any meaningful way.
Story (7/10):
Set in the distant future, twelve years after the planet was ravaged by a mysterious disaster, "Solty Rei" follows Roy Revant, a gruff middle-aged bounty hunter with a tr…

Solty Rei
ソ ル テ ィ レ イ
Reading the description again after watching it, I really have to admit that it looks quite interesting compared to the actual content.
I liked the basic idea of this Show.
The story revolves around the protagonist Roy Revant, who lost his daughter in the "Blast case", a catastrophe that caused enormous damage to the city. After this, he could not find his daughter again and fell into direct despair, lost his old self, and became a bounty hunter who hunts criminals. But he didn't just do this for money, but also to let off steam. Since he was finished with his life, there was not much left in him. But then he met the protagonist, "Solty" as she was called (probably one of the most annoying female characters in fiction).
As far as you can see from the descript…

Roy Revant is living the hard life of a bounty hunter in a broken city, a city where thousands have died in a mysterious event called the Blast Fall. Those who survived share the sting of loss. Countless Resembles walk the streets, people whose mangled bodies have been rebuilt with high-tech prosthetic devices.
Yet there are those that even science cannot mend. Roy needs a miracle to escape his rut... and one night she falls from the sky. Like countless others, Solty is a Resemble, but one unlike the world has ever known. A young girl without a past, soon she will have a family. But in this world, pain and alienation are never too far away. (blurb from wiki)
My thoughts:
Solty Rei is the story of a broken man that lost his daughter in the Blast Fall 12 years ago. Not believing she’s dead…

I hear alot of people refer to this anime as "Wasted Potential"........I say that's true in one sense, but I'm pretty sure people are getting the wrong idea by that.
I don't remember exactly how I heard about this anime, but after I read the premise, I was thoroughly intrigued. The one main thing that kept me at bay for a while was the poor art and animation...and, not gonna lie, throughout the show, it doesn't get much better either. Infact, I'd say the art and animation downright sucked in this show. But the thing that makes this show amazing deals with everything else.
One way I liked to refer to it as, is a JK Rowling level story, made with a Hentai's production value........I have no idea why THAT was the comparison that came to my mind at the time, but I decided to roll with it.

The series aired some 9 years ago, and writing this right now in early 2015, I guess it's safe for me to personally call this series the "Guilty Crown" of 2005/06.
[STORY: 8/10]
Just like GC, this was a wonderfully crafted original story. Looking around I see people giving this series up because the front few episodes were too boring or sub-standard. All I can say is that, they've missed out on the bigger picture altogether. Indeed, at the start it may seem as though the series was episodic, but trust me all that served as a build-up right till the finale. A suitable build-up too, if I may add. All in all, I felt the story had a good flow to it and, on top of that, a really good ending (unlike certain series today).
[ART: 7/10]
Yes, yes... I know it's 2015 now. We're in the midst of t…

Note To Self: This Has Spoilers. Please don't Read unless You've already watched this anime or you really want my attention to certain "spoils" on the anime. I Really enjoy watching Solty Rei cause it tells a tail of a robotic girl who was sent to Earth but at first for only for her sisters reasoning towards humans and their cultural. Her biggest sister is a huge ship that hates humans and demands to destroy mankind everywhere in her path. She reads data not emotions awhile Solty can read emotions but not data. This is better to put to you when you think about it, only live with emotions, data is suppose to be used for something more criminalized or adventures of some sort. I'm glad Solty beat her because if she destroys the planet, how are you going to watch the anime with the characters?…

This is one of the greatest Anime that I've not seen on some new Animes now.
Probably the characters style is not that too well fancy like other series, though for me it suits well and I dont care on that anymore.
The story is very great, I'm totally hooked on the series, because each cast have their important roles on the story. The plot is great as well as the twist of the story, frankly I really thought that Solty is the missing daughter of Roy but sudden shock that its Rose. I totally understand their techie talk about the Aurora and the nanomachines and etc., unlike other science based Animes.
Emotion-wise its really great, because never thought of an anime that a cold bounty hunter like Roy could burst an emotion like that. I ended goosebumps and actually cried in the end of the s…

A True Emotional Roller Coaster…
With that said, Solty Rei will make you laugh, cry, anger and frustrated throughout the whole series. This is one of the earliest anime I have watched. And until now, none of the recent anime challenge your emotions as hard as this one. It is one anime that none will forget.
Story: A well rounded story.
Unlike many anime that have a great start and a F***ed up ending, this is one of the few that kept it interesting till the end. Many twist made the audience go awed, but I hate to admit, extremely confusing in some part (that is later revealed). Near to perfectly executed.
Art: Magnificently drawn.
If you want to compare it to the recent action/Mecha anime, of course there are better. However, if you compare that kind of graphic in the year 2005 with oth…

This is a great anime. It's got futuristic elements mixed with ones of 1930s to 1950s. The characters are great! You got Solty, the girl with incredible strength. There's Roy, whose a tough badass bounty hunter. And Rose, a awesome yet atractive thief or as she calls herself the Bright Blue Meteor of Hope.
There are other characters I like as well such as the technology expert who has a crush on Solty, the lovly head of the bounty hunter business and her tough little daugether, and of course the main villian of the whole story.
What's also great about this anime is that it also has some comedy elements to it as well. Which balances the whole story.
So in conculsion, if your a science fiction fan who also likes a lot of humor, than this anime is the one for you to watch.

I don't know what any one else has to say, but the characters got me so involved that I cried throughout the last episode, and for the hour after.
That is all.

I will start by saying that if you are not sure if to watch it or not, I recomend to try and watch it. It might be worth it :)
Story:
The story is a little hard to understand when the show starts (aside from the 'oh it's a homeless girl, why shoulden't we bring her home?'), and though that even as the show goes on it really dosen't get any clearer, at some point the REAL story would unfold, so hang in there :)
Once you understand the whole story, it's kinda nice. Not the BEST story, but one that isen't really f#$ed up like some animes.
Art:
The art is OUTSTANDING. I think we need more animes with such art.
Sound:
Sound is cool. Can't think of a reason I shoulden't give it 9.
Character:
Some characters are somewhat lacking (story, background, and mostly development), but the character…

Solty Rei is a decent show that could have done a lot better with what it had. I just hope my review doesn't stop people from watching this, because you might enjoy it. ^_^
In a world where the sky is filled with some kind of Aurora Shell , which holds the atmosphere together, has caused a devastating incident known as the Blast Fall. 12 years later this anime follows the story of an ex-cop now bounty hunter Roy Revant, who's been searching for his missing daughter since the Blast Fall.
This basically sets out the story for the rest of this of this anime however it's mostly compiled of a bunch of adventures that make up a story. This was done well to begin with but then the story just gets out of control halfway into it. The main focus is on Roy's search for his missing daughter but it o…
