Anime Abandon: MD Geist

[@joesomenumbers]

I used to rent this as a kid from Blockbuster. They had it in the cartoons section next to like, Christmas specials.

[@rodney2x48]

Yeah... I remember the times I'd go to rent Disney flicks and episode sets of action shows as a kid, just to see Bible Black, Night Shift Nurses and Body Transfer DVD's right fucking next to them. Not even kidding; those people either never saw those movies or where hoping for parents to start shit because they were fucking bored.

[@BlueMoonSamurai]

+Surprised Robot I would love to have seen one of those parents storming back into the video store raging about "Bible Black" (as an extreme example, but even something like "Akira" would welcome the rage…especially nowadays…) and how it was labeled under the kids section and they didn't bother to read about it only for them and (especially) their child to be scarred from a mutant dick that's grown from a woman's vagina.

[@briankeys5941]

5 years in the future... I watched this as a kid with a subbed version bootleg, after Akira. this is awful dubbed. but a badass 90s mindfuck when ur barely a teen, with a super secret bootleg VHS passing the blunt around with the boys. ill take this over a era of no original ideas. that just remakes... well EVERYTHING. thx Hollywood, u have ruined half a generation of lonely psychotics who only wanna see our generation's heroes (and earlier) gender swapped and all that, bc they dont have they're own nostalgia.

I remember this one being the first anime that scared the shit out of me at the tender age of... very young. I was far too young and my father didn't knew better, so he rented it (VHS) without knowing. I was really excited for the robot cover. Worst night of my life,i watched it alone before bed, 10 minutes in and i literally hid under the blankets during the rest of the movie and never spoke about it again, i could still hear the screaming and bad dubs... Thanks Sage, for curing my silly trauma i had blocked in my brain for so long.

Also M.D. Geist is NOT a universe I will visit in my InterDimensional Post-Apocalyptic Travels...

[@TheNukaColaMan10]

Because NO

[@polasamierwahsh421]

wait universe as far as you can see its on a ticking clock and its very close to kaboom the two strongest armies DESTROYED the world and there are man hunting robots , we never saw a farm a river or even a food source in the film which means they cant produce food no food , no resources and a ever lurking threat of metal hunters that would stop any efforts to bring back order and stability And md is still around there are zombie apocalypses with better surviving odds than this

[@dayaninikhaton]

I liked some of the mecha designs at least. Robots that eat human flesh- Seen that in Screamers. Peter Weller's character explained that pieces are broken down and processed internally- fat rendered for lubricating oil, stomach fluids and electolytes for batteries, that sort of thing. The film Virus had a similar theme, just that 'eating' wasn't involved.

[@CobaltTheCrusader]

MD Geist's universe would make for a cool as fuck Tabletop RPG or video game though.

Drahauk Oh. In that case, I apologize.

[@Bookmite1]

To be fair though... SWAT Kats never really had much of a story, or ongoing storyline. I re-watched it not long ago, and all I kept thinking was, "Hey, I remember this guy... Wait, they met him before? When? How? This is the first time he appeared!" And that thought kept going with almost every new villain -_- Still, it holds a special place of love in my heart. If for no other reason the animation was top notch, the music was epic, and the Deputy mayor may have turned me into a furry :p

One thing I love about your reviews Bennet, is how sincere it all is. There's something about these reviews that sets them apart from others. You have a strange, natural tendency toward anti humor used in the best way, at least to me. Whenever I sometimes expect a joke, you come out with something serious and it leaves a pleasant surprise.

[@gruntpocalypsenow]

At least this anime spawned "violence of the flame" and "merciless soldier", two awesome songs by hinorobu kageyama. Plus eagle the cyborg was pretty cool.

[@VampiresCrypt]

Geist is not gay he was designed asexual and only with killing in mind, he is just in for the carnage. Interesting enough MD Krauser n the other hand has a go with the chick in death Force xD

I've gotta admit. John O' Donell's passion for this film is quite admirable. I mean you'd rather have it be for something at least good, but going the extra mile for something so hated is in itself...quite impressive to be honest.

[@dwainsimmons3447]

John O Donell is better than Al Kahn.

[@DustyThePunk]

I was curious and looked up the actor who plays Geist, and it is Jason Beck. He did a couple minor roles, including a bouncer in Seinfeld, but he is mainly known for M.D. Geist 1 and 2. That explains why he hasn't had much of a career and the last thing he did was in 2001, which was a very minor role (a nameless character) in the film, Imposter. So, yeah... He started with M.D. Geist and it was also the only thing he was officially known for. Sucks to be him.

[@aderose]

Ouch

[@markwillows5722]

Well, that's in part because he died in 2000 from lung cancer. I did a little research on him when I used to write for an anime review site years ago, and he seemed like a generally swell guy.

Apparently, during one of the filming sessions for a Nostalgia Critic movie, Noah and Doug's brother, Rob were constantly quoting Dune to the point where Doug was about to kill someone since he hated the movie so much. Something along those lines. When Sage wanted to use the line, the first person to come in to mind to react to it was Doug. They asked him to react to it and he said "sure".

Ok I know this is way overdue and I'm sure it's been said before a few times in the comics I'm too lazy to read right now, but 100 episodes of any show is a big deal and you deserve to feel proud that you made it this far. That is an achievement and I hope you make it to the next milestone, whatever number you feel that is.

[@anderson13666]

Titans also eat humans. They cannot digest them, so they puke them out after some time

[@ChaosTicket]

I know alot of the context is being ignored. Md Geist 2 has more complicated story than it really needs. MD Geist is a crazy battle maniac that cant think about not fighting. He unleashed an army of killer robots to fight. MD Krauser is supposedly sane. His scientist buddy isnt actually loyal. He has a pet cyborg that he uses to uses to capture Geist(that fails). The pet cyborg dude even has some character. He is loyal to the scientist, doesnt like humans, but by the end actually saves some humans. Pooping robots? I Think they just process biological materials as a fuel source. They eat humans so once they finish killing off every human they run out of power. In the first film the Death Force was a MAD type weapon to kill everyone in case the Regular Army(dudes without mechs) lost and the ova makes it pretty clear they are losing. That part gets weird. If i remember right it was because the President got killed so it activated automatically when it wasnt so clear one side was losing completely.

[@ericdunbar6230]

I bought this on VHS back when it came out. I think in order to understand the appeal of this movie or Vampire hunter D or Fist of the North Star or any of the Anime at the time you have to remember that cartoons at this point in time where made for kids and toy lines. Yes GI Joe and other cartoons shot lasers but they rarely hit anything human. All of the sudden this stuff comes out and man ultra violence and because it's animation they can do just about anything. I remember seeing the end of the first part of MD Geist and being blown away that he released the Death Force you just didn't see things like that in American cinema at the time everything fallowed the hero's journey. Just like how Ken's brother wins at the end of Fist of the North Star things like that just didn't happen in movies not in America. It was the ideal that the rules where being thrown out the window that made this stuff so appealing not just the violence or the animation quality. To put it blunt you just had to be there.

While this review is gut-bustingly funny, and he makes it perfectly clear how "so-bad-it's-good" M.D. Geist is, I will admit it is a bit awkward hearing Sage saying Geist is voiced by "Meth-Head Garfield", mostly because Geist's English voice actor, Jason Beck, passed away due to lung cancer. Though to the guy's credit, he rolled with playing Geist, to the point where he was Geist as the recorded operator voice for Central Park Media's office phone.

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

The whole "VA passed away with lung problems" thing isn't that big of a deal anymore.Not after how much of an overreactive bullshit the Nostalgia Critic got for Mako back in the day. The guy became sick with cancer, and a reviewer made a semi-related joke, while most likely not even knowing about said guy's condition.It happened before, no reason to cause a scene about it again.

Thanks for this review! Geist 1 & 2 were my first "adult" animes I have watched back in '98. I was a kid and amazed by the gory and mech designs.

Apparently there isn't one, but maybe I will do one =D Glad to see so many Geist fans in the comments, cheers!

[@milesipka]

If you're an MD Geist diehard, then it is most wise to track down the three-part comic book adaptation of the OVA that CPM had commissioned back in the mid-1990s - it expands the story to the director's original vision (comparable to the Director's Cut version) and CPM also commissioned a prequel to the OVA called "MD Geist: Ground Zero", another triple-issue comic book that explains Geist's back history and how he got shitcanned into orbit.
