Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood follows the original manga's storyline more closely, while the 2003 version diverges into its own plot about halfway through.
Think of Brotherhood as the director's cut that hardcore manga fans wanted. The 2003 version is great but goes off-script halfway.
Brotherhood sticks to the manga like glue, while the original series took a wild detour!
Brotherhood = Canon manga goodness. Original series = Still awesome, just different.
