I feel bad for saying that, though, because she only ranked 23rd in an official favorite character poll, tied with a dog. They're VERY VERY extendable claws, like, she can stab you from down the street if she needs to, but I don't think that's a particularly lustful thing to do either. Every other Homunculus is actually driven by its respective sin and has powers to match, but Lust is just someone with big boobs and extendable claws. Just making a Lust-based character look sexy is kind of the easy route, and she doesn't even exhibit any lustfulness of her own. Lust is usually seen as a duo with Gluttony, and the two together are great characters - I love how sweet she can actually be to her weird, hungry little brother, who absolutely adores her in turn with an undying, childishly innocent devotion that makes the two feel sympathetic no matter how ruthless they can be towards humans.Īs a "monster," however, Lust is unfortunately a bit lacking. No end to this space is ever shown, and people swallowed whole simply wander until they starve to death. It's all the creepier that things in his stomach-void aren't even digested.the place is just one big pool of blood littered with everything he's ever eaten, chunks of architecture even spanning centuries. When he opens his mouth "all the way," his entire front is just a single eye glaring from a black hole lined with giant, rib-like fangs, which is a pretty killer look. That first anime implied he just had some kind of corrosive saliva, but the Manga holds that he can eat anything because his stomach is a portal to an extradimensional space. Maybe no more over the top than his official "true form" though. I love him.Īnd I know I said the first anime series wasn't great, and that's because it wound up inventing its own storyline as it got ahead of the manga, but its movie spinoff revealed that Gluttony had continued eating, growing, and losing his mind after the series, becoming this huge horrible monstrosity with a dangling baby body, and that's pretty sick I guess. He's just this squat, round, bald cartoon man with a big round nose and a big mouth and those eerie, white dots for eyes and he can just kind of bite through a wall and then through your face like it's all made of the same butter. Gluttony is interesting, my second favorite of the bunch, for his terrifying ability to eat absolutely any material and particular appetite for human beings, made all the more disturbing by how goofy, childish and almost innocent he is. The Homunculi are seven weirdos who came from Alchemy and are named for the seven deadly sins. Naturally lots of people try to do those things, and it doesn't go swell! I'm going to skip most of the rest of the introduction and barrel headlong into this! It has a world in which alchemy is real and just a thing people do, but you're not supposed to use it to try and make people or bring back dead people. One time wasn't as good as the second time. Most of you probably know what Fullmetal Alchemist is! It's a manga made by a nice lady that got turned into an anime two times. Finally Reviewing Fullmetal Alchemist Homunculi!
