This anime has a very interesting story about a future-based disaster-ridden city that is divided with poor and rich people. The rich have a normal life with all medical and living standards and the others live away in a poor, slump town with no absolute way of getting any medical or living standards like the rich. Also with technology that can replace a limb or organ with cybernetic parts that can be substituted with real body parts, but with a heavy price just for the operation. It starts off with a man who is a bounty hunter and body-guard for hire who lost his wife due to illness and daughter in a catastrophic accident. He always still believes that his daughter was still alive since they never found the body and every day he keeps searching for her. Than one day when he was trapped in a corner in a construction site with a criminal who was going to kill him a girl dropping from the site stops the criminals attack. In doing so the criminal ran away do to his condition with his broken cybernetic arm and the girl was unconscious when she fell. So the bounty hunter decided to thank her by letting her stay at his place for the night, but in doing so the girl wanted to stay with him since she has no where to go and he keeps refusing. Than the criminal comes back with his buddy in a giant robotic machine to try to kill him again, but in doing so the girl came in to help him and was able to lift and punch the machine into the air and destroying it. With that in mind what’s with that girl, how can she do that, even with cybernetic body parts no one can do that. This volume comes with the first 6 episodes, a starter set box, and a reversible volume cover.
I would recommend this to a friend

Solty Rei has a great soundtrack to it, great voice acting, and a great story behind it. There is a lot of action scenes in it and when you put it on 5.1 surround sound on any tv set the explosions sound like they are real and happening next to you because it has such a loud boom sound whenever something explodes. Plus here on this website you get the starter set for only $16 plus tax and shipping but thats a really great price for the starter set for a great anime. It kind of has that Cowboy Bebop feel to it except they are not on a space ship and no blues music but other than that it did kind of remind me in a way of Cowboy Bebop in some parts of the series. It also has comedy and drama. Highly recommended i give it a 10 out of 10 just because its such a great anime.
