M.D. Geist is an anime and comic book series about a post-apocalyptic world.

Production History

Sōkihei M.D. Geist was initially not conceived as being on video. During drafting, the working title was "Death Force" and the story involved an unstable soldier, named Patrick Murphy, who was imprisoned on a lost spaceship, and is then rescued by allies in powered suits. A mission then commences to stop the computer aboard the ship, which has enacted a program to kill the remaining survivors.

Koichi Ohata developed the project to give himself creative freedom as a mechanical designer. Ohata's inspiration for designing the armoured suits came from a conversation with staff from Nippon Sunrise Inc., regarding the functionality of a giant robot and a suit of armour in relation to a human character, prior to production.

Riku Sanjō, then new at the time as a screenwriter, developed the story through multiple consultation meetings with Ohata, in which there was an emphasis on visual motifs and scene direction. While the initial script was written to the length of 45-minutes, Hayato Ikeda encouraged Sanjō to write as much as possible in order for him and Ohata to express their ideas fully.

Ikeda confessed to being new to mecha, as well as being new to OVA as a format, and performed as a mediator on the overall production, with the majority of creative decisions being handled by Ohata. Ikeda's credits as a director of TV anime made him more appealing for marketing. Ohata's directing, as a result of his inexperience as a 23-year old, proved difficult for the animators.

When it was released in 1992 in the United States by Central Park Media, M.D. Geist achieved a brief period of significant popularity, eventually appearing the Billboard Top 40 Video Charts. Domestic sales of the OVA prompted Central Park Media to collaborate with Koichi Ohata in producing a sequel.
