I'd say Brotherhood is better, but I first read the manga (which Brotherhood was based on), then watched the anime, so I'm a bit biased. And I hadn't even watched the whole 2003 version, just a first few episodes, then several clips and read the overall plot, and lost interest
Brotherhood is definitely the superior story. It makes more sense and has a MUCH more satisfying ending. I can honestly say that I think it's one of the most perfect stories ever told, with every last little detail building upon the next to lead to a brilliant crescendo.
Also, Armstrong is the manliest of men. Only he can make the Bishi-Sparkle so badass.
3608132 I think I should have waited a while before watching Brotherhood because the introduction seems really rushed now. I'm super critiquing everything that is different.
3608472 Really, the better way to experience it is to watch the original Fullmetal Alchemist up until the point it deviates, then move to Brotherhood. They shortened all the content that they had in common between the two animes, and I do agree that the original version's episodes are better in most cases in those parts. But once it passes the point of deviation, the true quality shines enormously.
Everything.
