M.D. Geist

About This Movie

M.D. Geist is a fascinating relic of 80s anime, blending action and sci-fi in a gritty, dystopian setting. The animation style has that gritty, raw feel typical of the era, with a lot of practical effects that give it a tangible quality. The pacing is a bit uneven, moving from intense action sequences to slower, more introspective moments that explore themes of identity and purpose. Geist, a genetically engineered soldier gone rogue, has this dark, brooding presence that permeates the film. It's kind of fascinating how it tackles the consequences of militarization and the ethics surrounding artificial life, albeit in a way that’s pretty over-the-top. Definitely not the prettiest anime out there, but it has its own charm.
