"Sokihei" M.D. Geist - 1986 original - Part 1/5

This is the original, unedited, subtitled Japanese version of M.D. Geist, in all its low-budget glory, complete with the many animation errors you've probably heard of.

I'm uploading this as it's unlikely the original version will ever see a DVD release, the quality of this anime is a bit laughable now, but the Director's Cut is a great improvement (I just hope you're not watching the English dub with its mismatched voices). Initially I was uploading this without the subs, but I had trouble getting the other parts. Credit has to be given to AceAdvent for ripping this from his Laserdisk.

"Sokihei" is a made-up Japanese word that means "soldier-garbed demon", quite cool and fitting for Geist.

@SalaTrash That's the sequel! I don't like it as much, but it's still cool.

god damn, the robots in this are awesome

[VendavalEste]

@empyreanlc No robots in this section of the OVA yet, but Koichi Ohata's mechanical desgins are pretty much the best.

I can now see why you worship this anime. Everything about it is amazing! The animation style reminds me of Dancougar and Layzner. The Engrish is funny too.

I wish Norio Wakamoto would have done Geist in the Director's Cut.
