MasterOfDarkness 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.

MovieCriticMarvelfan 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. lolThe 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.

Ghost the Lost Soul (Note: This review is based on M.D. Geist Director's Cut. M.D. Geist Director's Cut is not actually a director's cut version of the film. It's actually a digitally remastered version of the original 1986 OAV with new scenes added, altered sound effects, and poorly animated scenes fixed.) >>Pros: Pretty good animation; decent '80s Japanese rock soundtrack; good action scenes and character designs>>Cons: Unbelievably bad dubbing; lame plot; very little character development >>Plot summary:(WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS!) In a distance future where mankind has reached the age of terraforming planets, one particular planet known as Jerra has been devastated by a civil war between the the Jerran resistance(the "regular army") and the Nexrum Army, an army organization that opposes Earth government over all the terraformed planets. At one time, the regular army was getting their a**es handed to them in battle so much that they ended up making genetically engineered supersoliders known as the Most Dangerous Soliders(MDSs) to fight back against the Nexrum army's attacks. One of the MDSs, Geist, was TOO good in the art of war. The second and most dangerous MDS, Geist was considered too unstable to be put in society, thus bringing his imprisonment on an orbital sattelite to never be seen again. Somehow, the orbital sattelite ended up crashing back to Jerra, setting Geist loose on the planet once again. Geist becomes the leader of a mercenary biker gang, and then joins a unit of the regular army to stop a doomsday program called the Death Force. The Death Force is an army of millions of robotic war machines that will kill humans indiscriminately, and they got less than 12 hours to stop the program. Col. Crutes, the leader of the regular army platoon, sets Geist up to be killed by a gigantic robotic sentry at the Death Force's base, but the colonel's plan to eliminate him has failed. Geist ends up defeating the robot sentry, kills the colonel in retaliation for him being the one that made the decision of putting him in an orbital sattelite, and reactivates the Death Force program after Colonel Crutes deactivated it to wreak havoc on the planet. The end!(END SPOILER) >>Review: M.D. Geist is a cult classic among anime fans, despite how horrible it is, and I'm one of those fans. Geist's sole purpose in this film is to kill, and he does it with great gusto. In the film, you're lead to believe that Geist is the hero, but in reality, he's the film's truest villain. There's virtually no character development in this film. Any other character that even starts to show some character development is killed off on the spot. The English dubbing in this anime is painfully bad. The original Japanese voice acting wasn't anything special, but is light-years ahead of the American voice acting. The animation and character designs, albeit dated, are pretty good, and I love the '80s Japanese rock soundtrack in this film. M.D. Geist would have been better if the producers explored the M.D. Geist universe a hell of a lot more, but unfortunately, it seemed liked the producers didn't know where to go with this anime title. And Geist's mullet rules! Anyone who has seen this anime might notice that Geist bears a strong resemblance to Billy Idol. Hell, the mercenary biker gang boss that Geist kills looks like Stevie Wonder on steroids! In the end, M.D. Geist is a brainless anime OAV that is best enjoyed on a Saturday afternoon if there's nothing on TV and you have nothing to do. >>My last 2 cents: If you think M.D. Geist is bad, then you should check out its sequel, M.D. Geist 2: Death Force. It's far worse than its predecessor. >>My rating: 3 out of 10

xanada73 (Spoilers; not like it matters with this title) This is exactly what anime should NOT be; the characters are all shallow, one dimensional figures, who are gruesomely killed as soon as they start to display any likeable qualities. The plot is absurd; on a far away planet torn apart by civil war, a supreme genetically engineered warrior arises with no other purpose than to kill people, which he does with great gusto. Not only is he seemingly invulnerable to all forms of attack, he can survive in airless conditions for ridiculous amounts of time, and he has no personality whatsoever. He exists solely to kill; indeed, the sole purpose of this film is to fulfill some kind of mindless, pornographic bloodlust. By the end, not only have all the 'characters' perished save Most Dangerous Geist himself, but an indestructable fleet of robots has been dispatched to wipe out all life on the planet EXCEPT Mr. Geist, for whom they provide endless entertainment. Thoroughly pointless, needlessly gruesome, and lacking any intelligence whatsoever; avoid unless truly desperate.
