It's very confusing, i suggest you watch fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood. Brotherhood follows the manga. Fullmetal alchemist however goes a different way.

Watch Brotherhood with dub. Or sub if you like xD or read the manga.

Watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Dub or sub, doesnt matter.

It is so addicting, I nearly cried, and I watched 16 episodes in one day.

The original FMA series had filler content and some changes to the story that was unpopular with the fans. FMA:Brotherhood stayed true to the manga series, along with improved animation and a better soundtrack.

I'd recommend checking out Brotherhood first, preferably subbed with the Japanese audio.

For me, FMA and Brotherhood is a different case. The dub is actually really good. Plus I dislike Ed's Japanese voice.

Watch FMA Brotherhood, it is generally considered the better of the 2.
Whether you watch it Dubbed or Subbed doesn't matter, it doesn't really change it.

2 versions
FMA
FMA: Brotherhood

Brotherhood for sure, its newer so it has better animation and the story actually follows the manga

I always prefer subbed but for this show you definitely need it , some dubbed voices (like king bradley and Greed) don't even compare. The dub sounds really clumsy and the over pronounce everything.

Get ready to have a new favorite anime.
