I actually first watched the badly dubbed version of DYRL, Clash of the Bionoids. I knew about Macross from my older brother who was into Robodreck and had watched a little with him. However, I really wasn't into it despite the fact I found the mech designs really awesome. When I got into anime, I wanted to see the original Macross, but I had to settle for Clash of the Bionoids. Despite the dubbing, I loved it. ^^
