On the other side of the spectrum, there's also quite a lot more emphasis on the fanservice. I mean, the fanservice was always there (just look her character design!) but the camera spends more time on it than the manga did. See: Bouncing breasts while doing impossible feat.

A result of the change in the medium. I'm glad, because it's Gainax, and as such it's almost mandated that they do their specialty.
