Do I have to watch Fullmetal Alchemist before Brotherhood?
Nope! Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a faithful adaptation of the manga and doesn't require you to watch the 2003 series first. Dive right in!

Just go for Brotherhood. It's the superior version!
I watched Brotherhood first and loved it! The original is great too, but Brotherhood is more aligned with the manga鈥攏o regrets starting there.
You can start with Brotherhood. It's closer to the manga and has a more consistent story. But if you're a completionist, watching the 2003 version first can give you extra context!
