I really disliked the first anime. I hadn't read the manga, so it wasn't even a matter of "they changed it, now it sucks". It wasn't until my friend started loaning me the manga that I became a FMA fan.

That said, I didn't really care for Brotherhood, either, even though it followed the manga. I couldn't even tell you why. I'd just as soon reread the manga and ignore both anime adaptions.

I'd argue something similar. One of the awesome things about the FMA manga is that it doesn't go in for the "cool but random" worldbuilding of a lot of shonen. It feels like a self-consistent setting that could actually exist. The first anime feels self-consistent while it follows the manga, then throws that out and gets all cool. On the other hand, Brotherhood is so manga-consistent that there's really no reason not to just read the manga.
