M.D. Geist

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
