Personally, I liked the original more. I just think it did the darker elements of the story way better. Brotherhood had a totally different focus, but I do appreciate it having an actual conclusion unlike the original.
To put it another way: the original makes me cry at some parts; Brotherhood never did.
That’s fair, and we are both entitled to our opinions of course. Neither is wrong. I’ll have to give the original a shot again, but it just didn’t connect with me the same way. I cried during Brotherhood I’m pretty sure (I know for a fact I definitely would now)
Holy hell you killed it on the anime suggestions. May I suggest Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood over the original?
Also, have you watched Samurai Champloo? That and Baki (all of them) are the only others I can think of off the top of my head

I agree, but I see the other side as well.
Brotherhood took away too much of the darkness, but FMA wandered around a lot in the middle and got lost.
Ed-ward…
