LatestArmed with an appreciation for life, death, and love, Solty rises to confront civilization's final threat that drifts silently through the stars. She is humanity's only hope.
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?
Acting
Jouji Nakata's gravelly warmth carries the whole damn show.
Writing
Messy middle episodes pay off with devastating late reveals.
Direction
Gonzo's uneven hand somehow makes the chaos work.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Gonzo's infamous mid-2000s slump — alongside Gun x Sword and Speed Grapher — yet developed a small cult for its emotional beats over its action. The studio's financial troubles show in the inconsistent animation.
The 'Blast Fall' visual design deliberately echoes 9/11 imagery common in post-2001 Japanese media, with the crater city becoming a character itself. Director Takayuki Inagaki later called it 'my most personal work' despite its obscurity.
