There does seem to be a bit of a fixation on Rei (consistently the
most popular female Eva character, IIRC, perhaps one of the most
popular in anime). It may ironically have to do with her _lack_ of
personality -- she's quiet and mysterious enough to be a perfect
cipher, someone onto whom one could project anything.
Also doesn't hurt (relative-popularity wise) that Asuka manages to
make herself nearly unlikeable by the end of the series.
That was the stroke of genius in creating Rei's character - it left her
so open to interpretation. That, and the fact that she has a very
complicated relationship with both father and son Ikari. I did, however,
find Asuka very refreshing as a character - unlikeable, yes, but
understandably so.
