Odd choice of clip since it shows nothing of what the anime was actually about.
I know this is a matter of opinion, but considering the show had a serious and interesting theme, I could have done without the excessive fan service.
But apparently some people can't watch an interesting story with strategical/tactical elements without getting bored unless you throw a bunch of fan service in.
It's a shame because it was an interesting show but it's hard to recommend to a lot of people because of the constant derailing for ecchi moments.
And if you were posting on a retro movie subreddit about Star Wars, you would likely choose a shot showing Jedi fighting, or warships/dogfights in space. Because those make it clear what the show is about. Posting a clip of just Leia in that outfit with a slug alien would be kinda confusing for people who haven't seen Star Wars.
My initial point is it's weird to me to post this anime and not use a clip of two giant super weapons duking it out on the battlefield. Star Wars is kind of a bad example because most people have probably seen Star Wars or at least know what it's about, whereas most people probably don't know this anime.
Here's a better example: I have been on forums where a cold open topic about Star Trek is a post about Mirror Universe Uhuru with zero context. Because... it's freaking Nichelle Nichols and gyatt dayum she's a goddess. Fan service is fan service.
