Pretty much, yes. The kind of thing that can be a pickup game at the FLGS when the normal GM can't run, your character sheet is one side of a 3x5 index card, and there's just enough crunchy bits to give a framework to copy the hero from whatever anime/movie/etc. you saw last week rather than make up a detailed character background without degrading into total chaos, whether the GM has also seen it or not. Easily broken by That Guy, but what isn't?
It's also a bit of a grognard political statement, by explicitly not including the traditional "dump stats."
I'll probably end up writing twice as much to deal with vehicles and mecha... though maybe not, a speed code, a health code, and an armor code plus a list of any weapons with their accuracy and damage leaves enough space on a second index card to write a description and note passenger and cargo capacity, leaving the back side free for a sketch or floor plan like the character sheet card.
Edit: One important thing not mentioned so far: the base NTG regenerates every turn, while Reserves refill at the end of a scene. EAT is the maximum effect possible with a single round's casting action. PZA refills at the end of a game session or by fiat if there's a long IC break.
