With the huge amount of fans anime has nowadays some times it's easy to forget real diamonds in the rough like MD Geist... I'm lying of course MD GEIST is THE worst anime movies I have ever seen. The story is absoutely pointless and just serves as an excuse to change settings. All the characters have absolutely no clear motivation for any of their actions. Each movie has an awkward and hilarious sex scene. The voice acting is particularly bad in English but nothing special in Japanese. The on thing I do love is the soundtrack which is exceptionally cheesy and doesn't fit the movie at all most times. The best thing is probably the copious amounts of gore for no other reason than "this is an old anime movie some one better explode!" Overall the first one is better (worse) than the second but it's a pretty entertaining package. If you like bad movies, regardless of whether you like anime or not, This is something to put on the list.

This is pretty good but very twisted and dark I recommend this if your a fan of darkly themed animes that are really crazy and have a lot of gore there is also some brief nudity

It's hard to review a title like M.D. Geist. Do you go off the intended effect or the actual effect? Many people who have a serious love of anime love it, and still many more cannot stand it. It's a divisive film. As a fan of camp and the B movie genre, I can say unequivocally that M.D. Geist delivers an thoroughly entertaining experience if not a high quality one! In short its like humming bird food. Delicious if you are a humming bird, little more than red sugar water to anyone else. Are you a humming bird... or a jerk? Joking aside, I can definitely see why some people don't like this film. You haven't seen it though have you? Well then let me just break it down for you in a simple Pros and cons sort of situation! Then we will see won't we!
M.D.C. (Most Dangerous Cons)
1. The animation is of a low quality. Now who knows what would have happened if everyone had access to the resources and time they would have wanted? Would it have been better? Worse maybe? Who knows, but this is what you got, and its a low frame outing, but hey I personally think that adds to the hilarity.
2.Too short. ...Well it is.
3. Steeped in a shroud of ambiguity is this film! Now readers, your dear reviewer never got a college diploma, but I... uhhh HE still...err, your dear reviewer still thinks he knows how to think smart thoughts! This movie has a plot that is all but inscrutable. Characters whiz in and out of the plot with little to no closure on major story events. Unless of course they get disemboweled or exploded or otherwise mangled by some combo of knife, sharp stick, or heavy ordnance.
M.D.P. (Most Dangerouser Pros)
1. See above
PARTING SHOTS
That's the kind of thing this is. So bad its good. So hot its cold. So dangerous, its... even more dangerous than that! If you have ever had the urge to see a man in shades and a blond mullet evil Knievel on the handle bars of a future hog over to a man in a Mech suit and stick a knife with a grenade on it into hisforehead like it goes there, then this is the movie for you. If not... why not?

I recently purchased this DVD since I saw all the extras that came with it. I happen to be a big fan of Koichi Ohata (who created these films). I had already bought the previous DVD release and I own both of the movies separately on VHS. This release is by far the best format for these films. The picture looks better even though the first one is noticeably dated and the sound on the dub and sub are pretty good. The DVD extras are awesome this time around. There is audio commentary, tons of artwork, character sketches, storyboards, the altenate angle comic, and tons more stuff. This is part of the reason why this release is great.
The movies themsleves are not often given good reviews by fans of anime and it is understandable why. MD Geist is different in that it has absolutely no comic relief and is a very somber story. All the characters have some kind of evil and/or selfish intent and are not that likeable. For me that is one reason why I like these films. It is a refreshing thing to see an anime with characters who are truly human in that they show the same flaws as real people unlike other anime that have only one character who is the anti-hero working alongside generous, virtuous heroes.
Story wise, the movies follows Geist who is the second in a line of military experiments to create the ultimate soldier knows as MDS: Most Dangerous Soldiers. After having served in the regular army on the planet Jerra against the Nexrum army (whose goal is to prevent the Earth Government from controlling all planets), he is considered by his military creators to be far too dangerous to live and is imprisoned in an orbital sattelite. With the war raging on, civilization on Jerra is virtually dissapearing. The sattelite that Geist was in crashlands on the planet and Geist is released. He eventually finds himself the leader of a group of bandits after he kills their boss in a fight. The boss's girlfriend is quick to use Geist as a tool to get money from the regular army. After rescuing a tank of regular army troops from a Nexrum strike team, Geist joins them in a mission to stop a malfuntioning doomsday device at their own base that will spread an army of robots over Jerra to exterminate all life. During the mission Geist's true intentions are revealed. The second film picks up where the first left off. Jerra is now being destroyed by the Death force and humanity is without hope. The original MDS named Krauser has the last remnants of humans in a fortress in the desert where he is like a god to them. When Geist's presence is finally realized. Krauser will stop at nothing to stop Geist (now on his maniacal killing spree). The regular army and the Nexrum decide to collaborate to destry the Death Force with an atomic weapon but Geist has plans of his own. The two soldiers clash and old scores are put to rest in this sequel.
I would not really reccommend this DVD even to anime fans because of its excessive violence and thin plot. I happen to like it for what it is so I think the fans that would like it the most are ones who like action packed anime with no comedy. Even in that case I would reccommend trying to rent it first if possible. These films are pure action and not much else put simply.

Gore!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2014Verified Purchase
M.D. Geist is a decent anime. Not to complicated on the old story front but the animation is great (especially in the second OVA), the action is plentiful and full of gore. Worth a watch and I love having it in my collection but its one of them shows your either going to love it or hate it and thankfully I liked it. The only grief I have with this release is it only has an English soundtrack and I prefer to watch animes in their originally intended format.
