ok, back to the point on hand. I actually got to see one of the actual postcards cause my friend somehow scored tickets to the movie (Lucky!! Surprised

) I'm really jealous. But the postcard is absolutely amazing. The homuculus deesign around ed is slightly different, though I can't put my finger on it.

Well, I just finished another episode of FMA. I really love the storyline, very original. The ending song changed and now it's stuck in my head. <_<

Ugh.. Cartoon Network ruined it.

FMA was SO much better in its original Japanese form. Trust me, if you haven't seen it.

I just believe anything is better in its original form.

Not toyed with and changed around.

well, not many people are fluent in Japanese here, plus it's hard to get ahold of the whole series. If you asked me, FMA is one of the betterly dubbed animes. i've seen much worse.

I'll agree there.New Type said that Fruits Basket was the best dubbed,but FullMetal Alchemist came in on the top five. (I can't remember exactly what it ranked,and my friend has that issue.)

I agree; I've seen both japanese and dubbed, and I'll have to say that they did a pretty damn good job of it. :x

Thank you! Although most of my friends don't like it much. XD

I haven't seen any dubbed Duel Masters, but my friend tells me never to watch it; in the english, they put fanjap into it. >< ARGH

Yeah, Lust [b]does[/b] look a lot like that woman from Scar's past. she doesn't have a name, though. If she did, I've forgotten.

...

Oh. Shoot. I had the name of that race of people, but now I've forgotten. XD

Oh yeah. Ishbalites. :3 From the town of Ishbal!

...

Must not spoil! X3

Wait a minute. But whenever scar looks back on that "woman" he always thinks, "Brother..." Am I losing my mind?

She's not Ishbalan.You know,from the Ishbal Massacre?Lust was Scar's borther's fiancee or wife.Whichever one it is,she's somehow related to his brother.

I think the homunculi are already the dead,and are merely the images of those who have passed on,given a living form,unaware of what had happened before their so-called death.Hey,it's possible!

SilentSoul92 · Posted: Fri Mar 18, 2005 6:45 pm Post subject:

No, Kotokoplum and animemaster, Lust looks like a girl who was his brother's friend, not his brother. His brother's the other guy always in the flashbacks. Lust isn't Ishbalen, or however it's spelled. Homunculi are beings (from what I've heard) who aren't human, but take on human appearences. They mutated from there original form, granting them new powers.

alright, Lust was Scar's brother's loverbefore she died

[spoiler] Scar's brother tried to revive her with human alchemy, failed, and lust was taken under Dante's wing, and made into a true Homuculis [/spoiler]

almost righ C-Chan! They actually DO have some memories of their previous lives, as proven in the 47th and 42nd (i'm pretty sure on this) episodes

Homuculi are failed human transmutations that are taken in by a master and fed red stones, the stones make them unkillable and super powerful

I have no life Very Happy

Ohhhh.. all makes sense now. Thanks! ^^

LoL,I read the manga online,so I know alot that's going to happen!...okay I didn't get that far....but I had a pretty good guess.

Ever notice that the manga is abit different from the actual anime that we came to know and love?

Fayore · Moderator Joined: 12 Mar 2004 Posts: 6195

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Scar loved his brother's fiancee as well, but he never said anything to her or his brother because he knew they loved each other. :3

And yeah, the manga is a bit different, but there are alwasy reasons. I think FMA stuck pretty closely to the manga. :3

Except they switched afew parts around.There are afew parts when I realized that.Like when Ed is over at Maes Hughes house and Gracia goes into labor.That was originally in one of the later volumes of the manga.And it wasn't with Gracia.It was with someone else of whom I can't remember the name. (LoL,I skipped ahead! Laughing

)
