M.D. Geist

M.D Geist is a post apocalyptic 1980's anime about a super soldier named Geist who is an unstoppable killing machine who wages a war against evil robots. That's pretty much the gist of it. There's more going on but the plot is mostly incoherent and the English dubbing is some of the worst i've heard in a while.

So the plot and voice acting are pretty bad but the action scenes and the designs of the robots and mech suits are really awesome especially the one Geist uses. He looks like a cross between a Gundam and an American football player and i just think it looks super cool. The chaotic action really well done by old school anime standards and the soundtrack is great with some blistering guitar solo's as you watch the gory action. This is pretty harsh stuff with heads being ripped off and crushed and people being eaten alive by evil creatures and i loved that aspect of the anime. There's a grim, nihilistic tone during the whole movie and i find this appealing, some people likely won't. Worth a look if you're a fan of old school violent anime like Fist of the north star but don't expect animation of the same quality of something like Wicked City or Akira. This is a B movie through and through.

This is an Arnold Schwarzenneger film for anime and it is way more violent and gory. But fans of Arnold should like this too. Yes, there is little character development or plot, so you must like the animation and/or the violence. There does seem to be a lot of these types in the world of Japanese anime.

Full on adrenalized mecha-mayhem wherein the singularly savage Most Dangerous Soldier Geist awakens in a gravely bellicose frame of mind, and proceeds to gruesomely annihilate everything in his steely-eyed sights!!! In this bleak, war-torn dystopia it's kill or be killed, might is always right, and to the mightier come the blood-spattered spoils! The very last of his unkind, highly trained, armour-plated super soldier Geist wages total war just for the sheer bloody hell of it! A refreshingly brutal protagonist, the psychotic M. D. Geist isn't so much an anti-hero as vehemently anti life itself! Some manga fans disdain its unleavened nihilism, while others relish it, but Ohata's ordinance overloaded, carnage crammed, End of Days, mind warpingly mental militaristic Manga is most certainly never dull!

Synopsis:

In a far-off planet named Jerra, many years in the future, a catastrophic war nearly destroys all civilization, leaving only ragged bands of weary survivors to fight over the remaining scraps of society. Orbiting space is a capsule containing a single man, M.D. Geist, who was bioengineered to be the ultimate warrior, but was exiled because he was simply too dangerous to be left on Jerra. Of course, the government never figured that one day, that capsule would fall back down on the planet ... but has Geist returned as a savior or a destroyer?

Recommended Audience: Plenty of body parts and heads being severed. There is also an attempted seduction (which falls completely flat). The only people who like this stuff would be the teens who shouldn't be watching it. Not that anyone should be.

Genocyber is another title by the same artist. This one is right up there with Fist of the Northstar, Megazone 23(Part1&2), Angel Cop & Urotsukidoji(minus the x-rated scenes) M.D. Geist.. Most Dangerous Soldier. Was one of my teen-hood heroes with Kenshiro.. Just remember when it was made an just enjoy the carnage.

First, I laugh at the critics who say this great anime had little character development, senseless violence, bad dubbing and sound. M.D Geist is not that, is a fantastic , war anime in space, that's actually very realistic. Also I saw that the Uncut Japanese, English subtitled version, not the crappy dubbed version these idiots watched. lol

The plot, and it's a great one is the Geist is part of space soldier team. They have a great war against an enemy and Geist is one the few men still alive. His platoon though deserts him, and leaves him for dead.

If the plot sounds familiar, its exactly like "Soldier" with Kurt Russell in animated form.

Geists though, only on brawn and brains survives and destroys everything in his path. Well not everything, he does come to a city invaded by a bunch of deadly gangs (like in Fist of the North Star) and eventually he wipes them out too...

Geists platoon eventually find out that he's still alive and want to use him, check that abuse him.

Geist has other plans , and what results in a hour of the best hand drawn action anime you've seen.

The other critics don't know what they're talking about, so check it out.

I know great anime (Macross DYRL, Gundam Wing) and M.D. Geist is great.
