You can just watch Brotherhood because it's basically a more-close-to-the-manga-plot remake, first anime has nothing to do with the original plot of manga after 8-10 eps(I've only seen about 6 eps though).

Brotherhood is just amazing! Also good ost/op/ed, it was the first anime I've wathced op/ed's of every single episode without skipping.
