If this is so bad then why am I having so much fun?

MD Geist is like if you took Dragon Ball Z and took the story out of it all and made the characters look like real people. It's just like that. Need I say more? Of course I do.

STORY MD Geist is a super Soldier gone rouge. He hates the military of Jerra the planet and wants to avenge it by killing brain palace. It's something ripped straight out of a video game like Gears of War.

Spoiler: He fails to do his mission and insteads makes Jerra fall to it's knees to robots at brain palace which makes no sense

CHARACTERS Geist is a man of few words. All he knows is kill.

Vaiya is Geists side chick. She's good for nothing but to stand there and be supportive.

He meets a biker gang.

Geist meets his old army of Noah to take down bad guys

This writes itself.

ANIMATION Are you ready to go back to 1985 Japanese television with a little extra pocket change? When here you go! MD Geist is dated in everyway and I love it. Oily gritty desert backdrops and shiney metal with a bunch of terrible overly dramatic special effects are there.

But wait theres more! The animation and weapons and vehicles,complex, are rather detailed. Sure the character animation isn't much to write home about it but the manly designs will make you feel very comfortable.

Plus there are incredible fight scenes that are plain thrilling and I love them. They are all so violent. You will love the blood and gore. It's so satisfying. Heads explode, arms fall off, heads get stabbed.

SOUND First lets talk about the music. The OST is really good. It's really 80's hair metal cheese with loud screeching guitars,basses, with sax, and high hats.

The music goes as such WIDDLY DIDDLY DIDDLY DIDDLY WIDDLY DIDDLY WEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR WWAAAWAWAAWAWAAWWAWAWA! It also has Hironobo Kageyama singing the theme song and ending from Dragon Ball.

Not a single string quartet to make anything feel like it's middle aged.

Watch the sub not the dub. The dialogue is bad.

OVERALL-MD Geist is a anime I'd casually watch. It's an OVA that's totally worth it.
