Perhaps a tinge of the somewhat unsavory matter of the circumstances
surrounding the death of Rei I - maybe that also turns much of the
ecchi audience off? (then again... having encountered some really ill
H-doujins...)
But at least there is a visual reference, we see even less of Kyouko
Soryu-Zeppelin-Langley-somethingorother; just a shadow in a handful of
eps, and much more back story is built around her.  Given Asuka, it's
probably a somewhat safe bet that she wouldn't have been unpleasant to
look at.  ;)
