Okay peoples, here's the low-down:
------------------------------------------
The year is 2015. Second impact ravaged the world more than a decade ago, and the human race is barely on the fringe of survival, trying to make ends meet. One of the few safe places in the world is the fortress city of Tokyo-3.
After 14 years, the Angels have once again reappeared in our world.
Fortunately, NERV has been preparing for this day...
EVANGELION, RIDE!
Anyway, this is a Neon Genesis Evangelion alternate-universe. Instead of utilizing classical-Evangelions to combat the Angels, the pilots instead run around in Eva-esque power armor.
Shinji is a fan of power armor/the super sentai genre as a whole. He has posters and action figures and DVDs of Tekkaman Blade, Kamen Rider, all that good stuff. Sure, you get cool weapons and gear as part of the package...But as he will soon find out, being a super-sentai isn't all it's cracked out to be.
The members of NERV's Sentai-Squad? Shinji Ikari, Touji Suzuhara, Kensuke Aida, and Kaworu Nagisa.
HOWEVER, as they try to do their jobs of being Tokyo-3's teenaged saviors, they realize that they're not the only ones competing for that title.
Also combating the Angels/showing up after the Angel-battle are their rivals: a mysterious group of what are apparently Magical Girls. The members of this group are Rei Ayanami, Asuka Shoryu, Hikari Horaki and Mari Makinami Illustrious. By NERV control they are dubbed MG-Blue, MG-Red, MG-Green and MG-pink.
Action and hilarity ensues because of the tensions between the two groups.
Though it may be an action/romantic comedy, expect deconstructions of super sentai and magical girl tropes a la Eva-style.
TL;DR - NERV uses Super Sentai and Magical Girls to kill the Angels, while simulataneously pitting them against each other to see which is the more effective method of Angel-control. Because they're manipulative scientists.
The boys (Sentai) use Eva-weapons scaled down to suit them, along with other skills and abilities referncing various Super Sentai shows. Vehicles are also included.
The girls (Mahou Shojo) use "Magic". Rei uses Water (and ice), Asuka uses Fire, Hikari uses Wind, and Mari uses Earth.
Beamspams and special techniques, ahoy!
And yes, there are costumes and staffs worthy of a true Mahou Shojo.
But here's the twist - both Mahou Shojo and Sentai, despite being bitter rivals, are actually both funded and armed by NERV without the other's knowledge. By forcing them against each other, NERV can see what is the superior anti-Angel taskforce. DEVIOUS!
They were developed using Angel tech, so AT-Fields are used, and most abilites are based around that.
Examples of events:
* Shinji gets kidnapped by the girls and is held in a warehouse for "questioning." They can't remove his helmet because it's too firmly attached.
Rei inquisitively pokes his horn. Asuka stomps his crotch out of anger.
* The girls and the boys pass by each other everyday in the Geofront and have interactions and the like. Irony happens because they're pretty rough with each other on the battlefield.
