If you were made into a homunculus today...
« on: October 17, 2017, 06:18:37 AM »
...which one would you be?

I'm not sure if I'd be Lust, Gluttony or Sloth. Given my nature prolly a combo of all 3. Lusgluloth

Bradley, I always thought a homunculus was a devil spawn, evil tiny human made in a laboratory by necromancers or alchemists. But I'll be Sloth any day.  ;)

Spoiler for Hiden:
So the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood version of homunculi are a bit more badass than the 16th century stuff, but equally creepy (their source was a bit like a creature in a bottle, but it pulled what it believed to be 7 imperfections from itself to create the 7 dwarves I'm referring to...)  FMA was rated the second best anime of all time by myanimelist, but obvi it's really the best.  But that sloth is really cute!

Tipping my hat to any franchise that can make "Sloth" into ... an action villain?

I can't help you as I'm still at volume 12 of the series.

But I think Sloth would be fitting, though I don't know exactly why...

Probably Sloth, seeing as how easy it is for me to get distracted from a task. Though I also tend to get unreasonably angry about things.

Huh. I thought it was known that I'm one of the biggest manga/anime nerd in this forum, but guess not.
I wouldn't spoil people with all the details of the himunculus, especially not "father", but since it's out, I have to say, is not be any of them.. I'd be a homunculus like in the Hellboy universe. Less guilt ridden, a bit more disturbing though.

I do love Fullmetal, and it belongs near the top, but not at the top.
While Fullmetal is is pretty great, it pales into insignificance when put up against "Princess Tutu."


First off the main character is a duck transformed into a girl who transforms into a ballerina to battle enemies to epic fantasy classical music themes.

"Princess Tutu," is twee with twee sauce set in a Fairy tale village. Glimpses of a grimdark scenario show through the holes in the setting. Behind that grimdark setting is an even worse grimdark setting. Throughout the series it is hard to tell who is a good guy and who is horrible. Except of course for Princess Tutu. She is all good.

Just don't watch it dubbed. Great anime dubbed is a sin.

P.S. probably Pride.

Shit, I only now realized that the image used for Greed might actually be some big spoiler. Damn you, Bradley!
