Yesterday I finished watching the '03 version and I'm feeling dismayed.
What are your thoughts on FMA, /a/?
Brotherhood is better.

It's better than Brotherhood.
Go watch Brotherhood and fuck off.
Brotherhood is better simply because the ending wasn't nonsensical
I think 03 had better animation but its close
I'm also grateful for it for getting me into Japanese music at such a young age

I like it because of the nostalgic feelings it brings me, but after rewatching it this year and being kind of disappointed I can say I probably prefer Brotherhood overall.
Overrated shonenshit

Should I watch Brotherhood entirely or can I skip some episodes that the '03 already covered?
03 was better all the characters actually had character and had better direction makes for a more enjoyable viewing experience

I would wait some time before watching it at all. Watch something else and then go back to it later
I like 03 better personally since it did a lot of things better like atmosphere and tone consistency, but Brotherhood probably has overall better animation and a less ridiculous plot toward the end. You can skip Brotherhood episodes til around the new Greed shows up I think? Anyway personally I wouldn't watch it back to back because that's like 120 episodes of FMA.

Just watch it all, one of the problems with brotherhood is that it rushes the parts it's shares with the original,which is good for people who watched the first,but bad for those who haven't.
