I forget...how far into the manga did you get? At some point(a few volumes after the manga and anime completely part ways) it just reaches entire new levels of awesome. It and Claymore are the only manga I follow in scanslations because I can't wait, as opposed to being up to date with the various plotpoints as the rest of my friends. It's hard to explain, because the anime's world's better than most anime (especially anime based on manga...anime-original stories fare better in that regard) in terms of plot, character and character relationships, but it doesn't never reaches the points the manga does. (The manga actually makes Hohenheim as a character much much interesting, and Rose in the manga is downright fun.)
(Honestly, if you can. track down vol 15-its self-contained and is the flashback story of Mustang, Hawkeye, Hughes, and Armstrong in the war-and see what you think.)
