FMA:1 -- First anime. 51 episodes, started in 2003. Loosely based on manga.
FMA:B -- Second anime. Currently 54 episodes, rumored to be 63. Very closely based on manga: exact same plot lines, few characters cut, few story arcs shortened or cut. Started in 2009.
FMA:M -- Manga called Fullmetal Alchemist (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi). Currently 106 chapters released, rumored to be 108. Started in 2001.FMA:B is supposed to be very close to FMA:M. In fact, if you've consumed both media, you'll notice that large parts of the animation practically uses FMA:M as storyboard.FMA:1 is not supposed to be super similar to FMA:M, and thus not to FMA:B (although they do use a handful of the same voice actors).The same studio that produce FMA:1 is producing FMA:B.A simple google search will point you to places you can watch FMA:1.   See 4 other replies

My two cents....It ain't all that serious, people. It's anime. It's entertainment. I watch it because I love the artwork, the incredible handling of perspective, depth of field, movement, and animation. I am drawn in by the story line (no pun intended). And after a day at work, I need some brain chewing gum and I've been a fan for some time. Nuff said.   See 4 other replies
