So this is an anime that combines three things: cute girls doing cute things, village mascots, and tokusatsu live action stage shows. The first thing is a dime a dozen in anime these days. The second thing is a more recent trend where various towns create their own mascot characters to bring tourists and try to revitalize their dying town. Obviously the third thing is usually used as a joke and rarely a central focus.
The plot of the show is about a group of middle school girls who formed their own heroine group to save the local theater from closing down. In their world, instead of the typical mascot characters, the towns have their own heroine mascot that does live action stage shows. The most popular one is Kamidaio which is akin to Kamen Rider which she has a motorcycle and fights alone.
There have been references to Metal Heroes with Galactic Policewoman Kappy (along with Hochiku aka fake Toei) and Jyuohger of all things. Here are the Jyuohger references:
I can see it's an okay show but I'm curious enough to continue watching.

Heh, Jyuoh parody. Why'd they put the subtitle for Kemomimin so high up? Weird

Ichimichi Mao (Gokai Yellow/Raptor) is also a main cast member, and this week\s episode straight had her character propose a parody of kyuuranger down to the heroes being called "saviors."
