If you liked it, maybe you would like the original series even better.

Thanks. I'm aware of how Robotech came to be in the U.S. (I've compared it to taking Star Trek, Star Wars, and Space 1999 and somehow fusing them into one series). Recently, they've begun releasing the three original series uncut on video.

The main reason the three series were fused together is to give them enough episodes for syndication (the original Macross Saga was only 36 episodes, not enough to syndicate, adding the two other series boosted the episode count to 72). Considering what had to be done to get it released in the U.S. in any form, it could have been much worse.
