M.D. Geist/M.D. Geist II Reviews:
GRAH 
2008-10-01 - Anyone who says M.D Geist is horrible obviously isn't a man. Sure it may not be good in a "traditional" sense, but anyone who's a fan of classic 80's guy killing stuff won't be disappointed. For what it lacks in storytelling and any other boring hoo-hah it makes up for in face smashing blood and gore and did I mention this anime kicks all kinds of conventional behind? No romance, no TEEN DRAMA, no elfin knights of Moondocryer, just Geist, and his palm...crushing faces. I give it a 9/5! Oh btw, the dub is awful watch the subtitled version.
Senseless Violence Yes and No
2007-08-26 - Every review is correct about M.D. Geist/M.D. Geist II, but also misses the target. There is a dark humor to Geist. Geist in many ways mocks the traditional anime hero. Almost every decision made by the main character is the opposite of what a hero is supposed to do. Most Anime super soldier stories are about the character trying embracing his humanity, falling in love and being a noble leader. Geist is not one of those stories. This is a character who turns down the love the beautiful woman, and does not protect her. He has no desire to gain his humanity. He is a shark in a sea of pirana. So he is not even really that evil, which might make his actions more palatable. In M.D. Geist II we are introduced to a character named Krauser who is another super soldier equal to Geist in skills. Kruaser looks at first to be the hero we expected Geist to be. Instead he is a monster in his own right with absolute power corrupting absolutely. If you like the darker side anime then M.D. Geist/M.D. Geist II is for you. The artwork is far from cutting edge but it is effective.
review of MD Geist (not death force)
2007-05-07 - i can see why ppl might think this movie's stupid. there's too many still shots and not enough animation, and many animations have a poor frame rate. the characters aren't developed very much.
but i like the art style, and the part that really sells it for me is the nihilism. most people aren't going to "get" this movie, only real dummies who will be satisfied by the action alone, or smart people who know enough about people and life to appreciate the nihilism.
the way the movie ends particularly makes me like it... it has sort of affected me, i really appreciate it.
also this is an OAV, which usually are a very shallow overview of the source material. i'll bet that in the manga the characters are developed a lot more, and there's a lot more plot.
The ONLY anime with out a damn "cute" kitty in it!!! 
2006-04-06 - ok i have to say that the plot and the charicters in this anime arent the damn point! - the whole point behind M.D. Geist was to make an anime that would leave the audience (in the theaters) with a total sence of discust. once it hit american shores however it wound up on the video renta's area to become a hidden treasue. i happen to like the fact that their was some one getting killed in almost every other scene, y because that boring ass love every one kiddie crap makes me wanna vomit!
if your looking for an anime that isn't about the same damn thing ( ie the hero and heroin traped in a mindless love/hate realtionship, inuyasha, blue seed, two name a couple) then get this anime or atleast check out gyenocyber, one of Mr. Ohata's other better known works
Just plain bad 
2002-04-24 - Okay, I not going to say much, only that the first movie is bad. Really bad. But not as bad as the second one, which makes no sense at all. The plot is just stupid, the action lousy ...and all in all just plain bad. It even lacks the laughability-stupity factor that makes Fist of the North Star entertaining.
