What should I watch first: Fullmetal Alchemist or Brotherhood?
Start with Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). It gives a good introduction to the characters and diverges significantly from the manga storyline, which can be interesting. Then, move on to Brotherhood for a more manga-faithful and, in my opinion, superior experience!

Watch Brotherhood first. The original's unique plot is fun but not essential.
I watched Fullmetal Alchemist first and loved it. The divergence from the manga made the second watch of Brotherhood even more rewarding. It's like getting two stories in one universe!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the way to go! It follows the manga closely and has a more cohesive story overall. Dive right in!
