To be fair, changing stuff around was kinda necessary for the Southern Cross/Robotech Masters portion of the story. Mospeada/New Generation is pretty faithful to its original though, from what I've heard (outside of adding references to Minmei and the Macross characters).
Personally I loved the Mospeada episodes. Small rebel bands taking back an already-conquered Earth have always resonated well with me.

To be REALLY fair (to this thread at least)....small bands of travelling hippies, freaks and stoners trying to take back an already-conquered-by-the-MAN United States has always resonated well with me. And if you don't know what magic is...you've never tried DMT.
