Title:Solty Rei
Episode:7: A Little Demon Comes
Synopsis
Rose has invited herself to move into Roy's apartment, and explains in a carefree manner that the police discovered her previous hideout and she became seperated from her brothers. She cannot be dislodged, and observes that today should be her lucky day whereas Roy doesn't feel particularly fortunate. She procedes to lecture Roy about what a dirty place this is and lists the things she'll be needing to maintain her luxurious lifestyle. Solty feels sorry for her and thinks it might be fun if she were to stay. Roy leaves for work, after ordering Rose to be gone before he returns. His luck really does seem to suck today. Miranda and Kasha are already aware of Rose moving in, and confirm her story about her hideout being found. Back home, not only is Rose still present, she has taken the liberty of doing some "redecorating". Meanwhile, at a makeshift hospital in the underground city, Rose's brothers Larry and Andy promise to get the doctor some precious "antibodies"--nanomachines that treat the rejection of resemble body parts. Rose winds up sharing Solty's room, which is okay with her, since "one of the reasons I came here is you"...
Comments
This show seems to be having a hard time deciding whether it wants to be a silly, humorous one or an emotionally gripping one. My first impression was that it would be the latter case, and I wish it would go one way or the other. Apparently, viewers are expected to see Rose and her thief brothers as Robin Hood types, and the RUC corporation as being evil, but I still tend to think of Rose's gang as the bad guys--they commit robberies at gunpoint, and I couldn't help feeling sorry for the poor driver of the truck that was hauling the antibodies. Furthermore, the RUC Security girls are likeable characters, and just because RUC has even more influence than the government itself doesn't necessarily mean it is to blame for the unjust social system that exists. Anyway, this show has fallen a little short of my initial expectations, but it remains highly enjoyable, and I hope it extends to 26 episodes.
