"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believe that to be the world's one and only truth." - Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Fullmetal Alchemist vs Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, which one is better? What is Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood? Both of them are based on the same story but end differently, they have same main characters but some characters are different in each anime. They are both about two boys, who lost their mother and did everything they can with learning alchemy to bring her back. One night they decided to try Alchemy's worst taboo... the Equivalent Exchange. Edward lost his right arm bringing his mom back, while Alphonse the youngest brother lost his whole body. Scared out of his mind and bleeding horribly out of his right arm, Edward Elric grabbed an amour near by than wrote an alchemy symbol on to the armor with his own blood, bringing his brother's soul back... sacrificing his left leg. They set out traveling looking for a way to bring their bodies back to normal, looking a thing called the Philosopher Stone. They meet weird people called Homunculus, known as the deadly seven sins and they are out for the philosopher stone too. The only way they could travel was for Edward to be the dog of the military, they called him Fullmetal. Will they be able to get their bodies back? Will Ed be forever the dog of the military? Who will get the philosopher stone first, Ed and Al or the homunculus? Find out in either anime, Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood!

To me Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is better because Roy and Riza have more roles in the Anime, those two are my favorite characters. In Brotherhood they add more roles and is more based on the manga, the regular anime is somewhat based on the manga but its not as close as Brotherhood. That is why I love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood more, also it has more new characters than the original. I would suggest watching both, but for me I rather watch Brotherhood. There are only a few parts in the original I like. I don't want to be a huge spoiler, so I am being as detailed as I can. I suggest watching the original then brotherhood next. Hope you enjoy both animes they are really good!
