This is what I did, would also recommend. I don't even think Brotherhood is better, the original has some really strong points.
Oh yeah, kind of like how fans re-edited One Piece to remove filler and improve the pacing. I wonder if something similar could be done to merge the two FMAs? Unfortunately I think most of the fanbase just thinks Brotherhood is it, and the original doesn't matter, so I don't know think there's much demand for this.
Because the ending to the original is so unsatisfactory?
Brotherhood intentionally skipped over a bit in the start, since people most likely had seen it. Not enough for me to recommend watching the entire older anime though. Maybe up to a certain rain moment.
I see what you mean. The original used 25 episodes to cover the part of the manga Brotherhood did in like 12. Still, season 1 of Brotherhood is my least favorite so I don't recommend the original myself.
