Once again, this is MY recommended list so it may or may not catch other people's fancy. I sincerely apologise for doing such a sloppy job and for posting so late. I'm a lazy bum and my life is messed up, so cut me some slack, okay?

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.)
