I usually recommend people watch 2003 FMA up until episode 9 or so, and then switch to Brotherhood once it reaches the divergence point. Brotherhood is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite shows of all time, I consider it a comfort show that I’ll occasionally rewatch because of how much I love it, but it DOES kind of rush through the early parts that were already done in order to get to the good stuff.
