MD Geist: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]] - "MD" stands for "Most Dangerous" and the self-replicating robot swarm is named Death Force.

* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]}} - {{spoiler|Done twice in the sequel. Once after Krauser throws Geist off a building, and after the credits, only Geist's helmet is shown.}}

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]!- [[Norio Wakamoto]] is Geist himself in the 1986 version. He got [[The Other Darrin|darrin'd]] later by [[Kazuhiro Nakata]], who would reprise the role in Death Force.

** Speaking of Death Force, Vaiya is portrayed by none other than.....''[[Rika Fukami|Sailor Venus]]''. Hard to believe huh?

* [[Off-Model]] - The series is quite possibly the poster child Anime for this Trope.

* [[Only Sane Man]] - In the sequel, MD Krauser claims he is this saying that he was the only MDS who could control himself because only he had normal judgment. He contrasts himself to Geist whom he claims was "an absolute failure and an insane beast incapable of controlling himself." Then again, he tends to show violent outbursts as he happened to be explaining all this while grabbing a guy's face. [[Unreliable Narrator|Not to mention, he seems to be nutcase on power trip.]] Plus, [[Darkness Induced Audience Apathy|given the nihilist nature of this short 2-part OVA series...]]

** To be fair, Geist's entire motivation is that he's an asshole. Krauser, as unstable as he is, is a fair margin better than that.

* [[Powered Armor]] - Worn by Jerran soldiers, and a black one is doned by Geist after he acquires it from a dead soldier. In the sequel, they can fly and Krauser wears a white colored armor.

Line 46:

* [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]] - Very, very serious, despite the [[Narm|horrible acting]]; some people feel it should have taken itself less seriously whereas others prefer its extremely high level of seriousness.

* [[Super Soldier]]

* [[Trauma Induced Amnesia]] - Vaiya experiences this during the sequel to some extent. She has horrific flashbacks of Geist and is incredibly frightened by them, but is unable to decipher coherently what they mean.

* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]] - Vaiya experiences this during the sequel to some extent. She has horrific flashbacks of Geist and is incredibly frightened by them, but is unable to decipher coherently what they mean.

* [[Villain Protagonist]] - Geist is either this or a [[Sociopathic Hero]]. You can make a case for MD Krauser in the sequel too; he's the designated villain, but at least he's "less evil" than Geist and there are points where the OVA suggests "shifting protagonistim" onto him..

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: MD Krauser has good intentions (more or less) but he's still not much better than MD Geist, if at all.
