M.D. Geist

This was the first actual anime I saw, I watched it at a friends house when I was nine. So naturally I was very confused and shocked at what I had seen. I had almost forgotten thins movie until I saw It at a different friend's house a while ago. Watching the second time, and not at 1:00 am helped a lot! Like most anime, you have to pay attention when watching. I don't see why people say this anime is sucky, I admit, it's not the Best of anime, but it's not trash. Hey, if it made a sequal it can't be that bad, huh? anyway, I think it's an okay movie and good for any movie marathon night. I recommend this film to most people that enjoy action flicks.

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.

Haha, I'll probably get flamed out of my mind for saying this, but hey, that's movie watching for you.

MD Geist is a rock-solid hardcore action Japanimation, and I watched it twice. Alone. It's a cool anime.

Anime lately in North America is way too light. Love triangle, deep engrossing plot, big eyes, lame kiddie garbage, of which has no lasting appeal except to leave you awaiting your buddies online to use words such as "kawaii" or "bishounen" to describe it. MD Geist is not like this at all, and it comes from a different end of the Anime spectrum. In tradition of Fist of the North Star, or Genocyber, this is a bloodbath of an animated movie.

MD Geist is a Militaristic Super Soldier whom has returned to a post-apocalyptic earth. Okay, the plot is decent, but nothing special. Essentailly, MD Geist is a badass of whom I found hard not to like simply for his frank, harsh, and cold personality. For the love and anime god, a non-orthodox lovie dovie character. He's a real cool cat, and one of my favorite anime characters. So he doesn't have some huge plot to back him up, he's a badass with a blonde mullet.

The animation bites. Seriously, it needs massive editing. But guess what, I don't care about that! It's sufficient, and even a bit stylish, the Fightechs are awesome, too. If you want good animation, check out MD Geist II -- It's much better and more like modern anime. At any rate, I excuse it willingly.

45 minutes of rage, killing and a journey through a strange world. One thing I like is a weird, ridiculous anime, like Vampire Hunter D. This is one of them. Things just don't make sense. I laughed through this entire movie, and despite the fact this may imply I thought it sucked, it's surprisingly good because of this laugh factor.

I recommend it despite the world of negativity existing against it. It's a classic, and it simply has become an anime I want to show my friends just to see their reaction.

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.

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.
