The 2003 FMA anime was created back when the manga is still being published, and started to drift away from the manga such that at the anime's midway point, it's following a different storyline. Some plot points and characters are changed as the anime overtook the manga. Ultimately, it's a different story as opposed to the manga and Brotherhood.
However, I like how the pacing is a lot slower, allowing me to get more invested and interested into the characters. It's not as fast-paced as Brotherhood, and it's a lot darker. There's just something really somber about the entire thing that I can't put my finger on.
I watched it on cable TV back then, but I think there are some sites still carrying it if you know where to look.
As for One Piece, thanks for the advice! I'll go do just that once I have the time (to watch the first half--or I can just go full manga). I don't think you're proselytizing than you're just excited to talk about something you're really into, which is nice.
