3. events with Tucker while they are studying for Ed's state alchemist exam
4. Mining town
5. fillers episodes, the most notable one being them meeting the fake Elric brothers
6. They go back to central and the event with scar happened, how it started though was quite different in the manga.
7. Heading back home to repair Ed's automail > meeting marcoh
8. Philosopher's stone research and abandoned lab event > aftermath and the event with hughes (they freed greed at this point)
9. The brothers went to rush valley > got caught by their teacher Izumi who was looking for them
10. Island training flashback
11. Events with wrath (anime only)
12. Events with greed
Manga:
1. Lior > mining town > train battle
2. Tucker event > attacked by scar > heading back for repair and meeting marcoh
3. Philosopher's stone research > abandoned lab (Greed was never here in the manga)
4. The brothers went to rush valley > They decided to go meet their teacher Izumi
5. All the flashback, from them as kids > alchemy training on island > fail transmutation on their mother > Eds meeting mustang > Eds taking the alchemy exam
6. Events with greed and his homunculus (the events played out a bit differently in the manga).
The anime went down a different path after the events with greed.
Please note that all of the manga event took about 8 volume while the manga is currently on volume 21.
A lot of important things like how homunculus are created, the origin of alchemy and Hoenheim roles in the grand scheme are completely different in the manga.
That's why even though the event in the FMA anime gave "closure", there's plenty of reason to watch this new one since it will follow the author original intent for the story.
