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.

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 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.

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!
