Fullmetal Alchemist and FMA Brotherhood

What's the difference between the two? I'm like on the last episode of FMA: Brotherhood and it's freakin amazing! Is the original Fullmetal Alchemist worth watching, or is it basically the same as Brotherhood and if i watched it, it'd only be a waste of time?

I preferred the original animation because the manga spoiled Brotherhood.

Plus the first FMA movie was pretty badass.

[quote=SnailsinnerX]Yeah, i remember getting up episode 26 on FMA, but then it was like episode 6 on Brotherhood. lol
Yeah, i probably won't watch the original, i guess i'll just check out the ending for funsies.[/quote]

just looked it up and the ending of FMA is basically a lead-in to Conqueror of Shamballah
so Ed gets sent to the "real world" and blah blah

FMA - Was done before the manga was completed so the ending in FMA is different
FMA:BH - Started just as the manga was in it last chapters, and this version stayed true to the manga.

IMO BH is better then FMA but I would say it wont hurt to try FMA.

Also no spoilers I havent completed BH as yet loolz.

Yeah I want to know the difference too, I'm currently on episode 36 on FMA, and then I'm planning to go to Brotherhood

Amazing

Worth watching from what I've heard. I dunno to be honest. Usually animation pales in comparison to recent stuff which is why I don't watch anything before 2005 :V.
