Mokuyobi Post - MD Geist

This 2 part fantasy action OVA has a notorious history for both its shoddy production and ultra violence.

    On a distant planet Jerra two forces are battling each other.  Outgunned one side creates a force of super soldiers dubbed Most Dangerous Soldiers.  Unfortunately, the MDS units kill everyone with out pause.  The surviving units are then forced into suspended animation and kicked off the planet.  One unit, Geist, crashes back to the planet years later and joins up the conflict again, working under his own designs

    This is a horrible, horrible anime.  Its right along the lines, story wise, as Fist of the North Star.  Dealing with a land filled with roving bands of psychotics all gratuitously murdering each other.  In the opening sequence Geist amputates both arms of his attacker before finishing him off.  The only legitimate reason one should watch this pile of shlock is for reference and research in the time period where anime was obsessed with ultra violence.  Like other titles of it's ilk, the North American market was more than eager to bring it to a new audience.  The original American distributor helped the Japanese production company with putting together a cleaned up version of the original release.

   This OAV set is readily available on DVD...I wouldn't waste my hard earned money on it though.
