Set in a post-apocalyptic future (is there any other kind in anime?), in which human civilization was crippled after an event called the Blast Fall, Solty Rei revolves around a bounty hunter named Roy Revant, who survived the catastrophe in body, if not spirit. Others were not so fortunate, but their battered bodies were rebuilt with high-tech prosthetic devices, and they are now referred to as Resembles. Early on in this 24-episode series, Roy unexpectedly acquires a Resemble sidekick: a powerful young girl named Solty who literally falls from the sky and into Roy's life. Solty's past is shrouded in mystery, while Roy's is characterized by heartache; together, they form an unlikely but compelling father-surrogate-daughter bounty hunter team, who gradually move closer to revealing the truth behind the Blast Fall. Presented in a dual-language six-disc boxed set, rated TV-14, DVD extras include audio commentary, voice cast auditions, and a pair of bonus episodes. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (P. Hall)
