Solty Rei

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'smostly 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 often loses focus and goes unto something completely different, especially during the latter half of the series. The main thing I noticed about this anime was how much it borrowed of other animes or shows, which is the main reason why it didn't standout at all. Even the characters personalities felt boring and unoriginal especially Solty, who's voice got so incredibly annoying I just wanted mute it at times. I also felt that when it got to the sadder moments of the show the characters were really over dramatic, another little annoyance. But the main thing I didn't like was what happened to half the main characters, which I won't spoil for anyone. The animation of this anime was decent nevertheless one noticeable thing was the CGI. There are animes that were able to implement it well (Ghost in the Shell: SAC and Trinity Blood) but this isn't one of them. The CGI just made things feel weaker than it already did and left little to be amazed by. Although, it was no where near as bad as the music. The opening and ending theme songs were alright but the soundtrack was terrible. What made it worse was that the music never blended well with the situation, it just felt like some "emo" kid wanted to put in his favourite track whenever he possibly could and that's what he got. XD To summarize, even though this anime borrowed a lot of ideas, it could have used them better. The plot was good but the second storyline spoilt it, with all its random events occurring, which tried to tie it in with the first storyline. The ending was OK but it still was too crazy and left little to the imagination. I really did expect more this anime but maybe that was the problem, because my high expectations is what left me completely and utterly displeased with what I got. I recommend this decent show it anyone who's open-minded but there are much better anime series out there to choose from. ^_^

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: Theart 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 characters themselves are avarage+. Enjoyment: I enjoyed this show alot. First because it was puzzeling and I wanted to know the story development (I like guessing what would happen next, and this show really puts up a challange here :P) and also because I REALLY liked that vibrating-hand-attack thingy. REALLY. Don't know why, just looks cool to me :P Overall: If you haven't ruled it out yet, take the first episode for a test run. Keep in mind that though it starts as a 'Take-the-homeless-girl-home-and-make-her-a-part-of-your-family' kind of story that we see alot in animes, it WILL change soon enough to something more like 'Kick-the-s@#t-out-of-them-super-humans'. Other than the somewhat stupid 'coincidence' that keeps on happening (If you want to understand what it means, just watch the show, because explaining it will be a spoiler), it's more than most of the animes out there.

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? You'll be blown when you watch the anime so I highly recommend watching it. Yes its mecha,comedy and drama. You can watch it in English,Japanese,and I think other languages as well. The girl named Solty is completely robotic and is suppose to know how to have emotions. She hit her head as well, it even hurts for someone who isn't human at all. She saved humans everyday in the anime.Bullets won't affect her at all either. Miranda is her friend and a really close friend of Roy's Wife. The accident was devastating to bare all at once. I have watched them but on Fumination and the scenes are great for watching. Its has great action towards the characters. Solty loves protecting everyone. I'm really happy she knocks out every other bad person that tries to kill people. Solty has an amazing vibe, she'll even kill you if she sees someone get hurt because of what you did to that person. Her voice actress is Carrie Savage and I love her forever. You can see Solty voice from Carrie's favorite line of Solty "I hate bad people" over YouTube. Her voice blows you away. Rose Anderson, her new sister and really good friend at heart used to be a thug but learned to live life to the fullest and Solty made her through it. Solty Influenced almost everyone to do their best and not fail once. Rose only steeled because she and her brothers didn't have enough money. They became wanted criminals and unregistered citizens. I love the Art because I have never seen a girl with green curly hair and big light punches before that could punch a pole everywhere she went. By punch I mean,her punches are dramatic way of saying 'get out of my way', "I have protect everyone". Even her outfit changed from the beginning to the end of the anime. Shes great in every way possible. If you see a bad person in this world, pretend your Solty and of course of your punches are strong like hers. The sound is great, especially the tune of the blues CD Solty's dad played for the whole family. Its on the soundtrack to. Every character lived from life to death, half of the main characters are still living awhile the others have died. I wish not any character would die, its very burden to see someone die in a story. Overall, plus my enjoyment is just down right flawless to watch. Don't let life bring you down ever. Life forever like Rose and Solty did. Don't forget to watch the anime and read the red lady Manga.

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 andetc., 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 series.Its been years since I cried on the end of an Anime series. Its totally great. Though the music is a bit lacking, should've added some more, but "Return to Love" really suits the series though. Really hoping for an OVA or a movie of this. Two thumbs up!
