So if I understand this right, he can't stop but he's not a soldier?
>>23694808He's JUST a soldier. Come on OP.
>>23694808I've watched both of these OVAs and I have no idea what I actually watched. The action was cool though.From what I could work out:>Geist is some kind of biologically enhanced psychopath from a now either completely eliminated or minimal military force>He is from long in the past>The machines won some kind of war>He is compelled to fight to kill because of his psychopathy and bio-enhancements to fight warsI could be wrong because the OVAs are vague as fuck and you get like 1-2 lines explaining anything.
>>23694953From what I understand, Geist himself was imprisoned on a moon base thing for being a war criminal, but he's so GAR he just broke himself out and landed on a planetThe planet is going through its own either civil war or FOTN style anarchy with nonstop fights, and Geist is thrown in the middle of it, but because he doesn't give a shit, he doesn't play sides
>>23694954>>23694953Planet had a spot of forever war and made a bunch of superweapons, the Geists among them. MD liked fighting more than following order and was good enough that shooting him to the moon was the only way to get rid of him.When he gets back, he finds that somebody's trying to stop the forever war by capturing another superweapon project, which is something he doesn't fancy. So he high jacks it and activates the ANAL FORCE, making sure that the robots will forever shoot at everybody.
>>23694808He's a dangerous soldier.
>>23694999So the other Geist dude is blue because, like we get blue balls if we don't blow a load, they get blue body if they don't kill?
>>23694953There is actually a prequel manga about why Geist got sent to moon jail.
>>23700375I always guessed Smurf Geist was how he was because he was the OG MDS according to the second OVA>>23700476A promo file was also translated that gave an alternate reason for him getting locked up (and why he really hates Col. Krutes)
>>23698488I thought Death Force was both OVAs smushed together?
>>23694953Geist is simply a psychopath who likes to fuck both sides over. He doesn't randomly murder people who are not hostile to him, but he does like to cause world wide disaster because it is fun for him. He does have some tiny human momments like how he stopped attacking when there was a boy stood between him and Krauser, but that's not the defining trait when you think about everything else he did.
>>23694953This is not a hard OVA to follow and you somehow failed to follow it.
All the background story is here btw: https://japanese-media-translation.blogspot.com/2023/08/production-materials-sokihei-md-geist.html
You need a VPN to view it but this is the best the original has ever looked.https://youtu.be/fcd1pWNjuL8?si=r565dXftMW6fp0T6
>The initial treatment was written as a TV series in mind and the working title was “Death Force” and the protagonist was an insane soldier called “Patrick Murphy”.>The plot involved a spaceship lost in space in which Patrick is the last survivor locked away in the brig, the rest of the crew has since gone mad through isolation in space and have killed each other.>In his final hour, Patrick is rescued by allies in powered suits with his mania being viewed as normal.>The computer onboard the ship has deemed the ship inoperable and has enacted a program to kill the remaining survivors.>A draft character for Paia and a draft character for Crutes were written at this stage with the Crutes character executing a similar betrayal.>At one point, the spaceship was going to crash land on a planet and the story would continue from there.>The story for the OVA was developed by Ohata and Sanjo being given permission to expressly write out everything across 200 pages, in which the focus then became action-orientated by cutting down everything to fit within 40 minutes.>The fight scene with the Final Striker was originally envisioned as taking place in a more ornate environment which was brightly lit with detailed backgrounds to reflect a type of cathedral, Ohata compromised heavily as the workload for the artist and animators was already intense. A final fight with Colonel Crutes was storyboarded, but was cut as put production over by 200 shots.>Ohata put in lot of his personal interests during production, his favourite films at the time included The Terminator, Mad Max, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, he also included references to Der Golem and Poltergeist and was influenced by Japanese Pro Wrestling.
>Other earlier plots included more focus on the FITEX armour being uncontrollable unless used by elite capable soldiers. The Regular Army were also pulverised by the Negsrom Army's combined aerial drops and their Powered Machines, in which they sacrificed their soldiers as cyborgs.>The OVA takes place during Program C, which is the last ditch for survival, by this point the FITEX has entered the limelight following the nuclear campaign of Program B. The opening scene of Geist destroying the Negsrom VTOL is during Program A.>The year of Geist's imprisonment is 5843, the Christian Era calendar has ended.>At one point, the working title was "Sokihei Billion Buster", with this being a reference to Geist's killing capacity and also being a codename for the Death Force machines. The moniker was used in print and made it as far as the video release in which "Billion Buster Series" was printed above the title.>Ohata had previously worked as a designer for Srungle, Galvion and Super Robo Galatt, among others, and had experienced meddling from high-profile company executives as well as last minute design changes. He conceived "Geist" as a way of giving himself creative freedom over his designs.
>>23700970>After the end of the Christian EraWell Jesus did say he came to bring a sword, he just didn't mention it's name was MD Geist (also known as Thunder Warrior)
>>23702141I never found confirmation but I assume his work on Srungle included this gun covered motherfucker.
>>23702141>The year of Geist's imprisonment is 5843Wait, are you telling me they use the Hebrew Calendar?
>>23702213More like Buddhist.
>>23694953>I have no idea what I actually watchedBlame Central park media.

More kino like this?
>>23705436>kinoForgot how mincingly gay this word is.
>>23694953MD Geist is powered by fighting, he lives to fight so he's really supernaturally good at it>>23700375the other Most Dangerous guy is powered by pride or something, he's insecure about himself which is why he keeps disintegrating and is blue or whatever
>>23706861tl;dr: second OVA puts in a 5 minute explainer of this in the middle, are the comprehension abilities of /m/-denizens that bad now?
>>23706877>erm yikes your media literacy???
>>23706861Krauser is blue because he's a failed version of the M.D program, only alive because he's got that doctor fella drugging him up and maintaining his failing body, which I am guessing made him blue. I don't think he's powered by his pride as much as he's more nutty than Geist and refuses to believe he's anything less than the perfect being.
>>23706956you didn't watch the second movie
>>23706885>wHeRe Do I sTaRt>WhY dId ThIs HaPpEn>yes more of this please!!!!
