I thought that Okayama sounded familiar. I wasn't sure, though. I mean, Gregg Landsman has thus far proved that he can make something work no matter how outlandish it seems at first, but how the heck would/will he integrate Tenchi Muyo! into the mix?
Second if it is Tenchi and company, it depends on which of the assorted continuities they are based on. The some of the characters from the OAV are eventually revealed to be on the destroy-and-restore-the-universe level of power. The TV-series versions are more limited, though they can operate on the level of things seen in this story when Washu starts breaking out the advanced and probably illegal in most galaxies tech. In fact, if Washu is a technical adviser to NERV, that would explain a lot. There are also other continuities from books, manga, movies, video games, etc.
Which leads to the third question: Are they going to be "as canon" or changed? As a subset of this question, does "Nobody Dies" apply to Tenchi's mother?
And yes, I am an hardcore obsessive fanboy when it comes to this particular franchise.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
