So I've been meaning to watch this show for a while now, but I have what must be a commonly asked question.

Should I watch this or both?

I've always heard brotherhood is better, and I know brotherhood is supposed to be a version of the show that's closer to the manga than the previous version. But are there enough differences to justify watching both of the shows for people who really don't care about knowing every small detail in differences and just wants to watch a show?

imo you should watch the original first. The reason for this is because Brotherhood is better than the original so if you watch Brotherhood first you will be disapointed by the original if you choose to watch it after.

But I do think you should watch both.

Yes there is, the two are very different shows. They aren't even the exact same at the start but extremely similar, Brotherhood completely goes on a different path at about episode 13.
