The 2003 one is the first and the beginning of it has more character development and look into the intro of it all. But about 2/3 of the way through or so they caught up to the manga and pressed on without source material. So it has its own ending, and you can kinda tell
2009 FMA Brotherhood is the “reboot” which is the same characters and story, only it follows the source material to the end. It’s the “definitive” version of the story, though it kind of expects you to have seen the first one already, as it rushes through the beginning a bit so it can get to the good stuff
I remember watching the old version of Shaman King, I really liked it, and when I found out that it was remade, I was incredibly happy
but unfortunately for some reason I missed the alchemist😅
