M.D. Geist
Geist (the main character) is MD-02, a Most Dangerous Soldier, genetically engineered to function as a killing machine, but every one of the MDS units went homicidally insane. As a result Geist was placed in suspended animation in a stasis pod orbiting the planet Jerra until it crashed several years later, awakening him and bringing him into another war on the planet.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Like A Clockwork Orange, this anime asked the question, "Is it really your fault if the government engineered you into a killing machine? Are you really responsible if you are just following your programming?" Giest is a super soldier engineered by the government to kill. His only purpose for existing is to kill.SPOILER: Skip the rest of this review if you don't want to be spoiled.It's so sad, because at the end, when he about to was releasing all those robots to kill off humanity, the girl asked him what he was doing, and the camera zoomed in onto his eyes, and you, the audience, can see the sadness in his eyes. At this point, you begin understand that he does not want to do what he was programmed to do. He was programmed to kill, and kill he must. He can't stop it.Turned into a series, M.D. Giest would turn into a cult classic like Ghost in the Shell, while dealing with important questions about human nature.
Synopsis:In a far-off planet named Jerra, many years in the future, a catastrophic war nearly destroys all civilization, leaving only ragged bands of weary survivors to fight over the remaining scraps of society. Orbiting space is a capsule containing a single man, M.D. Geist, who was bioengineered to be the ultimate warrior, but was exiled because he was simply too dangerous to be left on Jerra. Of course, the government never figured that one day, that capsule would fall back down on the planet ... but has Geist returned as a savior or a destroyer?Recommended Audience: Plenty of body parts and heads being severed. There is also an attempted seduction (which falls completely flat). The only people who like this stuff would be the teens who shouldn't be watching it. Not that anyone should be.Genocyber is another title by the same artist. This one is right up there with Fist of the Northstar, Megazone 23(Part1&2), Angel Cop & Urotsukidoji(minus the x-rated scenes) M.D. Geist.. Most Dangerous Soldier. Was one of my teen-hood heroes with Kenshiro.. Just remember when it was made an just enjoy the carnage.Titles to checkout if you haven't: Bleach Naruto Get Backers Gundam Seed Tenjou Tenge Baki: Grappler Street Fighter:AnimeCheck out Bleach
What can I say about M.D. Geist? Not much, because there isn't really much there. It's 50 minutes of some still and moving frames of anime.I can sum the whole story, such as it is, up right here:Most Dangerous Geist (ghost) wakes up.Girl clings to M.D. Geist as protector (not really a smart move).M.D. Geist gets in with the army--goes with army as they go to shut down a doomsday device.Army gets (mostly) killed in assault on doomsday device.M.D. Geist has to fight powerful thingie.M.D. Geist wins, kills the rest of the army, and makes sure the doomsday device gets activated while girl looks on in horror.THE END (or is it??? there is an M.D. Geist II out there somewhere)You can probably come up with a better way to kill 50 minutes, like hitting your head against a wall or something.
(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.
