I don't watch anime very often and watched Brotherhood and it is one of my favorite shows of all time. So I agree that the original isn't necessary to enjoy FMA:B.
I'd say a lot of the character development from FMA was crucial in the first 15ish episodes that FMA:B seemed to gloss over since it was essentially the same. I usually recommend ppl to watch FMA first just for those episodes alone
