There's a nice shot where you can see right up Ritsuko's skirt and
another where she's climbing through a duct and her ass fills like 75%
of the screen. There's loads of Asuka fanservice in the early episodes
too (ep9 springs to mind, as well as the swimsuit and 'thermal
expansion' scenes in ep10).

As for the Reiquarium, it's definitely a matter of taste as to whether
you consider it to be sexy or not...

I love the way Kotono Mitsuishi says "service service" in the
previews... ^_^
