Frank Summers:
MD Giest was one of my first animes I ever bought, well after grabb'n as many
Starblazer and Robotech eps. as I could. I was so enthralled when I found MDG 2 in the
store, that I snagged it out of my friend's hand and bought it.
First off, I think its main problem was that it had to be _the_ worst dub I've ever
seen. Krauser, the main baddie, was a whinny loud mouth, and Giest sounded like he
suffered from strep throat. That is, the few times that Giest was even in it!
The story didn't have that drive the original did. I just didn't get that disgusted
feeling that Jerra _truely_ was a horrible place to live. Which brings me to my next
point...
Though I know that the art doesn't make a good flick, in this case it certainly
couldn't hurt. While MDG didn't have the best animation, its charaters were detailed and
propotioate (talking symetry here!), and its backgrouds were horrifically and
professioally rendered. MDG 2 lacked that edge and rises nothing above an oridinary
afternoon cartoon.
Anne Packrat:
Watching MD Geist is comparable to having toenails ripped out
by an blind manicurist using half a pair of scissors.
Jorge R. Frank:
I'd rather pry my eyeballs out with a claw hammer than watch MD Geist
again.
