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 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.

(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.
