Do you have to watch fullmetal alchemist before brotherhood. However if you are only now interested in watching fullmetal alchemist you might find yourself confused by the fact there are two fullmetal alchemist series. The original fullmetal alchemist anime from 2003 was released concurrently with the manga and like all series that do this caught up with the issues. Brotherhood is often called one of the best anime series ever produced.

Do not skip the first 10 episodes of fma brotherhood either because there are some very slight changes that were made within those 10 episodes. You ll still understand everything no problem if you only watch brotherhood but i recommend watching 2003 first to gain a full context and appreciation for the remake. Brotherhood assumes you ve already watched the original fma and so it kinda speeds through or skips the first couple of arcs some of which were quite emotional.

Fullmetal alchemist and fullmetal alchemist. If you only want to hear the original story you should watch the first 25 episode of fullmetal alchemist first then start the entire fullmetal alchemist brotherhood series.
