It's been twelve years since the Blast Fall an unexplained disaster that left countless dead and many more maimed. Society is divided and every citizen feels the burn most of all the Resembles - people whose mangled bodies have been rebuilt with high-tech prosthetic devices.
Bounty hunter Roy Revant has seen it all walking alone in this shattered city. That is until the day a strange little girl named Solty falls from the sky straight into his heart. The search for family turns into a search for meaning and those that wield harsh power over society won't go unnamed for long. Roy and Solty may seek different things... But who wants to search for truth alone?
Solty Rei dvd is set in a futuristic city a dozen years after a strange, catastrophic incident called the Blast Fall maimed many of the city's inhabitants. Unsurprisingly, this triggered a technological boom in Resemble technology: advanced robotic prosthetics that replace missing or badly damaged body parts. These prosthetics are produced by the Reestablishment Universe Committee (R.U.C.), and their success seems to have produced an entity that combines the worst traits of a fascist police state government and a greedy mega-corporation. The Blast Fall stripped bounty hunter Roy Revant of his only child, Rita, and with her went most of his compassion and emotion. Even though he does his job with a cold, hard-hearted efficiency, he's never given up hope that his daughter is still alive somewhere. When a naked, green-haired teenaged girl with no name and no memory of who she is or where she came from appears, it's only a matter of time before Roy ends up naming her Solty and adopting her so they both can learn the meaning of love and family. The fact that Solty seems to be invulnerable and inhumanly strong only deepens the mystery around her, as does the odd interest that the R.U.C. seems to be taking in her.
About the only good thing to say about Solty Rei season dvd boxset is that it's a valiant attempt to do something different; it's too bad it founders on its own poor execution. The sense of closure in the final episode is a nice change of pace from the open-ended sequel bait, but it's also a relief to know that a sequel to this series is highly unlikely. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and the earliest impression Solty Rei gives is contradictory and confusing.
