In Angelic Layer the deus (operator) controls his or her angel through a telepathic linking device. Once in the layer, the angel will respond to its dues's thoughts as if they were its own. This makes the angels extremely fast and the fights spectacular. A pretty cool concept. Seven years ago, a second great earthquake had leveled areas in around MegaTokyo. But, as in the past, the crowded city has rebuilt itself. The construction boom has brought on its own problems -- the rapid introduction of a new type of mecha, the "boomer," has not only produced the mega-corporation, GENOM, but has also brought on the infiltration of high-tech crimes. In an attempt to address these crimes, a special division of the police force -- the AD Police -- has been formed. But even these officers are no match for the new mecha that seem to spring daily... Four women, however, can. Led by Sylia Stingray, whose father was killed in a boomer-related incident, the Knight Sabers don their powered combat armour to fight boomer crimes -- for a price. The other members: Nene Romanova, also works as a computer operator for the AD Police, Linna Yamazaki, an aerobics instructor, and Priss, the lead singer of a small-time band, The Replicants.
