The original FMA T.V. series storyline is quite different from the manga and FMA Brotherhood is more true to the manga. The two shows may feel a bit similar in the beginning but as the story progresses they are more or less completely different. If you like Brotherhood you should enjoy the original. As for the movie (I’m assuming you mean Conqueror of Shambala?) is actually a continuation of the original series. It’s probably a good idea to watch the anime before the movie, though it still makes sense without having viewed the original series. Hope this helps 🙂

Just watch Brotherhood. The original series is practically the same in the beginning but there’s different stuff like Hughes lives longer in the original. Pride or Sloth isn’t in it….well Pride is named Wraith in this one but yeah. I liked the original up until the last two episodes which gave me a WTF face at the end then the movie came out…it wrapped everything up but I still found it just ugh. Main reason why original is different is because it didn’t follow the manga after a few episodes. Feel free to watch the Original like I said I enjoyed until the 2nd to last episode. But in my opinion Brotherhood is better written.
