Classic Anime of the Week: MD Geist II: Death Force (1996)

MD Geist is a trademark of US Manga Corps




Where MD Geist was senselessly violent (with a degree of detailed animation to match the singular quality of the storyline), its sequel is practically devoid of that spark that made its predecessor infamous.  MD Geist II: Death Force, picks up where MD Geist has left off: with killing machine Geist wandering the desolate planet of Jerra looking for his next kill.  The survivors of the cataclysmic events in the first film are rescued by a killing unit similar to Geist, called MD Krauser, who takes them back to the fortress sanctuary that he has created in the middle of the desert.  While Geist desires only to kill, Krauser has a desire for adulation from (and victory in the sight of) his human admirers.  The inevitable showdown occurs between Krauser, who wants to save their world so that he might be regarded as a hero, and Geist, who wants only to destroy humanity.  MD Geist II is certainly watchable (at least if you've seen really awful anime that the film can compare favorable to),  but it is rather a step in the wrong direction from MD Geist, because it almost attempts to vindicate the original film by being less violent and more sensible.  It falls into the trap of appearing amateurish by introducing characters and plot lines that it does not explore fully.
