M.D. Geist / Death Force

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.

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.

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

.... and that right there is the only reason to ever watch it. I don't consider myself a huge anime fan, I enjoyed Akira and Cowboy Beebop, I gag whenever anyone mentions Dragonball Z. This movie, though, is a monstrosity. It starts out with about 12 minutes of text scrolling on the screen before any actual animation takes place. Even after the excrutiatingly long text bonanza, things rarely move, instead, characters kind of shake between two frames of animation, or the camera simply zooms or swipes over a crudely painted image. All of the blood and gore is crude, it's your usual anime head-exploding stuff, although there is a particularly interesting scene where a guy's eyeball pops out of his head and lands right back into his socket. If you can imagine this happening in four frames of animation, you should consider animating MD Geist III.The first fight scene is quite possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. I'll give you a run down (Just imagine 80's porno music in the background):MD Geist- Okay, you want to fight. What are the rules?Huge African American Stereotype- Only one rule (looking directly into the camera) TO KILLLL!!!!!The fight scene that follows is possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I won't ruin it for you, but just as a hint: expect dialogue from a man with his arms cut off and a knife jammed into the side of his head.The dubbing is some of the worst I've ever heard, it sounds like a bunch of high school students nervously grumbling into a walkie-talkie. Scratch that, make that high school student, because I'm pretty sure the same person does the voice for everyone.Oh yeah, there is pointless nudity scene, and seeing as how the animation looks like the old GI Joe show, this might satisfy some 12 year old who always dreamed of saturday morning cartoons in the buff.Well, as for plot, just forget it. As for animation, I've seen better animation from my Grandma slowly handing me Christmas cards. And it's made in 1996!! Inexcusable!!!!!!! As for laughs, I definitely reccomend this movie. Just make sure that you DVD remote is equipped with a "Fast Forward" button for all of the long "dramatic" pauses.Rent it.

This cyberpunk mecha anime is action packed, but can be a little too gruesome. Part one was good, part two was okay, however, it's good entertainment value for a quick retro anime.

Awesome film!

M.D. Geist was one of the first anime I saw, when I was, oh...12, I think. At the time I thought it was "OMG TEH COOLST THINGEVAR!!1111". So, having now re-watched the first, and watched second one, do I still hold that opinion? Nah. Let's make no mistake, these films aren't that good, in certain areas, although I'm not entirely sure whether the horridness of the first one is all Koichi Ohata's fault.The animation on the sequel is better by far, but relies entirely too much on single scenes that have little movement. But at least they improved Vaiya's character design...*Shudders* However, Ohata's designs on fighting suits and mechs are utterly kick-ass cool, and somewhat insect-like at times.The dub isn't that good either way on both films, and Geist himself sounds too deep in the second one. The Japanese actor for Geist did a admirable job, however.The storyline is a little cluttered, but believable. And yes, every character pursues their own goals and greed.If you like ultraviolence or something a little different, I recommend this. Just be advised that not everything is perfect.
