In some contexts I like fanservice, and in other contexts I dislike it. It's like any other element that you can find in an anime show: Ok (and even desirable) in some places, out of place in others.
For example, as much as I love explosive action scenes, I wouldn't want them everywhere. They'd be out of place in something like Tamayura ~Hitotose~ or Usagi Drop, and even in an actual action show they can lose their effectiveness if overused.
In any case, fanservice is inherently distracting/attention-grabbing, in the same way that a loud Hawaiian T-Shirt is (i.e. it draws your attention whether you want it to or not).
So it's possible I missed something in Episodes 1 and 2... although I'm far from the only one who felt there wasn't much plot-relevant dialogue or events going on in Episode 2. If your argument is that there was then it might be nice of you to point out where exactly that can be found.
