M.D. Geist

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.

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.

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.

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.
