Full Metal Alchemist Manga: Homunculi

A lot of people have talked about the FMA anime. There seems to be a ton of difference between the anime and the manga. All I can say is, i think the manga is better, and here are the Homunculi from the manga. (I've used anime pictures where the pics are the same)

SPOILER WARNING: Post contains info on the manga storyline.




Pride a.ka. Salem : Surprise!! King Bradley's son Salem is actually Pride in disguise. Pride, the very first homunculus created by "Father", is a being of shadows. Although his movement is limited to the capital city and underground tunnels, he is insanely strong.
Below: Pride's true form.



Below: Wrath, a.k.a. King Bradley. The dictator is a ruthless being under a friendly facade, a master swordsman with a magical eye under the patch.






Lust, the sexiest of the homunculi. Her weapons were her charm, and the way she could transmute parts of her body to razor blades and edges. Destroyed by Roy Mustang.
Below: Lust to dust, courtesy Roy Mustang.




Gluttony (below): The name says it all. He can eat anything, and can even fire a beam which swallows anything in its path. His stomach is practically an alternate universe.




Below: Sloth. Unlike Gluttony, who is simply stupid, Sloth is nearly brainless. An unstoppable giant on par with the Hulk, he is used by the other homunculi as a beast of burden. His greatest ambition in life is to stop working and take a vacation.




Greed (below left): "The man who wants everything", Greed does not only want fame and fortune, he also wants love and friends, comrades, servants and followers. Since he refuses to sacrifice his followers and friends, he ends up rebelling against the homunculi.
Greed in Lin's body (below right): When Greed first rebels, the others destroy his body, wipe his memory, and plant his soul into Lin's body to try and regain his services. It works... only for a little bit.



Coming up: Envy










Envy, the shapeshifting homunculi responsible for killing Colonel Hughes.










Envy's true form




Below: Envy, after Scar and Dr. Marcoli get through deconstructing him. Sucks to be him =P

Full Mental Alchemist

Hi guys, this is my first time posting, so ............ ah forget it. Well, here is some cool artwork and images from FMA(fullmetal alchemist). If anyone out there doesn't know what FMA is, it is a manga and anime series.(I know it's stupid to say that since this is a manga and anime blog, but oh well). Well...............to be frank, it's one of the most phenomenal manga/anime I have ever read/seen. And if you have seen the anime and liked it(i can't imagine anyone not liking it), make sure you read the manga as well, as the storylines are completely different.















These are four of the seven homunculi in the anime. Homunculi are artificially created humans and are the primary antagonists of the series. Each of them is named after a deadly sin(for the seven deadly sins check out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins). From the left they are Wrath, Lust, Envy and Gluttony. Why is Wrath called Wrath?.....Well maybe because he's always angry(lame, i know and yes it's a he). Lust is named so cuz ........... the picture speaks for itself. And Gluttony, do I even need to say anything? Just in case you were wondering, the extremely scrawny Envy is also male(even though he wears something resembling a miniskirt). I really want to say more about each of them(no i don't) but i am afraid i will be including spoilers if i do.

Greed in all his glory(if he has any that is).
















Sloth( I fail to understand why she has been named so. Unlike the other homunculi, her name isn't a reflection of her qualities)

Pride is the last of the homunculi. Don't get fooled by that smile, he didn't get to be a dictator by winning elections.

Well, that's all for today.Bye(In case any of you were wondering about the seperate pictures of last three homunculi......................... that's cuz i couldn't find any with all seven in it on google.)

20th Century Boys

OK, a more detailed summary on 20th Century Boys. First, I really love this manga. It is basically a tale of a fight against oppression. Not a very original concept, but this manga delivers it beautifully. The story starts with a group of 6th graders who, in the summers of 1969-71, develop a plan for world domination as part of their games. 30 years later, one of them, Kenji, realizes that someone is actually using that plan "The Book of prophecy" to attack the world. He and his friends band together to stop the cult leader known only as "Friend". What he doesn't know is that "Friend" has developed the "New Book of Prophecy" to follow through to its ultimate conclusion the half-made plans of the children.

The storytelling style is also somewhat unusual and very attractive. The chapters continuously alternate, one chapter telling what happened in the summers of '69-71, and the next talking of the period around 2000, with flashes of what will happen in 2014. Later, as the story progresses, the 2014 period becomes more important, as that is when the final confrontation is due to take place.

Note: the final volumes of this manga goes under the name of 21st Century Boys.
