Do You Need to Watch Original Fullmetal Alchemist Before Brotherhood?
I watched Brotherhood first and didn’t miss a thing. If you have time, though, the original has its own charm!

The original Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood tell the same story differently. If you're a purist, start with Brotherhood.
Nope! You can dive right into Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood without watching the original. They both start off similar but Brotherhood follows the manga more closely. Enjoy the ride!
Watching the original might give you a deeper appreciation for the characters, but it's totally optional. Brotherhood stands strong on its own!
