So I've been interested in watching this show but saw that it had series going back to the early 1980s. I'm wondering whether it's worth starting back with the original series (Super Dimensional Fortress Macross) and watching on from there, or whether it's a good idea to just start with this series. To that effect, would I be able to follow what happens in this anime easily without seeing the previous series?

Watching the older series isn't required but I would recommend it. You'll have a better understanding of the back story a lot more (as to why Minmey is so important, what the Zentradi are, etc.) and there are numerous tributes to the series before it scattered throughout Frontier, so you would end up appreciating it more if you do so.

I watched only Macross and I skipped the others because of such low ratings.
Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone

Low ratings? The only other Macross series I can think of that can be considered to be "bad" is Macross 7, but thats only because it doesn't take itself seriously. Plus and Zero are fantastic, with Plus having a great song (Voices) and Zero having some of the best dogfights in the entire series.

In general, going by anyones ratings other than yours is a terrible idea.
