    Solty Rei

    Here's another of the new series this season.

    Shinsen-Subs Solty Rei 01

    I'd rather it be another group than Shinsen, but they're it for now.

    It has potential to be a good series.

    It reminded me a bit too much like Battle Angel Alita and minor elements of Chobits/DearS and unfortunately, Bakuretsu Tenshi. It seems very familar to stuff I've already seen. The same 'character has absurd power but doesn't remember or know why' premise that starting to get overused.

    The bounty hunter is really cool though, and some of the peripheral characters seem interesting.

    Hopefully there will be some interesting twist to turn it out of this somewhat formulaic plot. I'll give it a few more eps before I make a decision.

    Im a fan of BAA so i will dl this. I dont care about the premise being overused since most animes have been done 100 times before.

    I only hope its decent i need some good sci fi.

    A couple clarifications because my first post sounds a bit too negative:

    I enjoyed Alita a lot too, but Solty Rei is that reminescent of it. It's really too early to say anything negative or that positive about it, but I just included those others as a basis of comparison. I only dislike the elements that reminded me of DearS and BakuTen, because I hate those shows, even though I watched them the whole way through.

    If you liked BAA, you'll probably like Solty Rei.

    Bakuretsu Tenshi
    Action series that started decently enough, but turned into nothing but fanservice and a terrible, nonsensical ending.

    DearS
    Romance series that's pretty much Chobits with aliens, but not done as well.

    I liked DearS... Baku was pretty boring though...

    Anyways, I really don't trust much things translated by Vincent, so I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks and see if some other group picks it up...

    Episode 2 of Solty Rei is out from Shinsen-Subs

    http://animesuki.com/group.php/192.html

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    1st episode was alright. It kinda remains me the series Heat Guy J, but instead of a guy android, we got a chick. In all, I'll keep watching it.

    I liked episode 1 really... and is this the same group (the anime group not the subbers) that did Speed Grapher? character models look similar and its Gonzo Digimation and the same network...

    EDIT: I REALLY liked ep 2... and I DO think it is the same team as Speed Grapher... if it goes that same way, well we are in for an interesting story!

    oh and ep 3 came out!

    EPISODE 3 - by Shinsen

    btw I'm okay with Shinsen... seems that they had some bad subs but for me everything was good

    Other than both being produced by Gonzo, SG and Solty Rei don't have too much in common.

    The art designer worked on things like Witch Hunter Robin and The Big O, giving it the retro 50's feel (the cars and the buildings).

    The CG integration is what reminded me of Bakurestu Tenshi.

    It's not the same animation team as SG, just same production company. There's some similar elements, but it resembles the staff's previous work more.

    Shinsen released eps 4

    Solty Rei eps 4

    A decent eps. Kinda heartwarming in a way, even if Solty got the short end of the stick.

    I just get this feeling now that Solty could be his long lost daughter (with memory loss though) in a complete Resemble body. It's overdone, and I'm hoping they don't take that route. I'd be a lot happier with the 'surrogate daughter' to help him forget about the one he lost plot.

    Or I could just be thinking about this too hard.

    maybe not... one thing I have to say... I'm glad that the girl putting on the suit is not like some Sailormoonesque magical transformation... really... and that was a decent ep...
    also, if that's his daughter with a different and totally artificial body... how tha hell does that make her his daugther???

    I figured on the cyberbrain idea. Transfer in the thoughts and memories into a synthetic brain, and then somehow she got memory loss, like all heroines are exceedingly prone to.

    That's the theory anyway.

    Just watched the first 4 episodes...

    I would say it's fairly good... Action is good...

    Not much plot going on at the moment, but I have a feeling that when the actual plot kicks in this show will get extremely good.

    I really hope not too.

    So far, I really like how they introduce each episode with a different character's point of view about that incident.
    And, I like how it's focused on a father- daughter relationship (makes it feel like I'm watching something new).

    I hope we get to see that blond chick with her gang again, soon.
