Best movie ever!

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

This was the first actual anime I saw, I watched it at a friends house when I was nine. So naturally I was very confused and shocked at what I had seen. I had almost forgotten thins movie until I saw It at a different friend's house a while ago. Watching the second time, and not at 1:00 am helped a lot! Like most anime, you have to pay attention when watching. I don't see why people say this anime is sucky, I admit, it's not the Best of anime, but it's not trash. Hey, if it made a sequal it can't be that bad, huh? anyway, I think it's an okay movie and good for any movie marathon night. I recommend this film to most people that enjoy action flicks.

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.
