Relámpago: el guerrero

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.

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 movie is great, it has cool animation and battle scenes. It also doesn't mind showing how people can think more of something than it really is. MD Geist is a killing machine, that's all he is, yet you find yourself rooting for him. When all is said and done though, he's here to kill and that's all. If you can't accept that you can't accept this really downbeat movie.

Sure I have seen better anime in my day, but this is a lot better than what they are trying to pass off as "good" in modern time. To say that Arnold Schwarzenegger fans would appreciate this movie is a very fair statement. If you like simple story plots, explosions, violence, and straight up destruction, then look no further!

Call me a "purist," but yes you will want to see it with the original sound track and Japanese voices - the English dub does indeed suck! It won't kill you to read a little!

Insult me all you want for having a different taste in anime, but some of us just aren't into this modern day TV friendly, boring as crap stuff that they try to pass off as anime.

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.
