As indicated in other reviews, this anime was produced by the
Gonzo anime studio, maker of Last Exile, so from a technical point of view it is
of excellent quality. However, I have other reasons for liking this
anime.
Like Inuyasha and Card Captor Sakura, this anime is named after
its lead character, Solty Rei. Although this anime involves bounty hunters
pursuing and capturing criminals, its main focus is on Solty Rei and her
character development.
Solty Rei is a synthetic human, meaning that she
was not born in the usual way, but instead was designed and manufactured by
someone (we don't know who). I won't call her an android, because that will give
the erroneous impression that she functions like a computer. She doesn't. She is
more convincingly human than most other anime characters. Except that her ears
(while very pretty) don't look like human ears, or even the ears of any known
animal. And in an emergency, she proves capable of inhuman strength and speed,
plus she seems to be invulnerable to bullets: when she gets hit by one, she just
says "itai" (Ouch!) and keeps on going.
When she (literally) drops into
the life of Roy Levant, a bounty hunter, she seems to want him to become her
father. Perhaps someone released her into the wild to let her learn how to
function in human society, and she became attached to the first human adult she
met.
Solty Rei is sensitive to people's feelings. She is capable of
strong loyalty and affection. She wants to be helpful. She wants to do the right
thing; sometimes she has trouble figuring out what that might be.
