Yeah, I guess you're right.  It's not like Eva was overflowing with shots
of panties and cleavage constantly.  There are some shots like that,
usually involving Misato as I recall, but I don't there are so much that
it really draws attention away from the main story.  Not for me, anyway.
Sure, I notice the fan service shots and I like seeing them, but they
weren't the focus of my attention.  BTW, you also have the girls in their
skin tight plugsuits; that could be considered another form of fan service.
But whether or not there was much of it, I thought it was really funny
that Misato routinely advertised more fan service in next episode previews.
