Frankly, if the dub is good quality, I'll love it just as much. But I think you don't realize why so many people hate dubbed anime.
A) The voice actors usually suck. Plain and simple. They suck. They're low quality, bad directing, general not caring, etc.
B) When it comes over here to America, it not only gets dubs, it almost always gets edited (censored, deleted parts, etc).
FMA does have a pretty decent English dub. But go and watch the original and then compare it to the dubbed version. I guarantee you're going to find plenty has been edited out, which is just plain stupid.
