Knights of Ramune is complete cheese. It’s a 3 hour cliche’. (My god! I actually watched that for 3 hours?) Every once in a while it has a short burst of quality animation, or a few seconds of cool space battles, and there were a few intriguing mecha designs, but that’s pretty much all the good that can be said about it. It packs in every stereotypical trope of the medium on a totally gratuitous level and touts it as “zany adventure.” That word, “zany,” should be seen like the skull and crossbones or biohazard symbol on packages and substances. In other words. “Approach with caution.”
Apparently there is a related prequel series that has virtually nothing to do with this series, that I understand would actually do nothing to shore up the plot holes. And what there is of a plot, I don’t have to outline because you could probably come up with it yourself if you just imagined every hackneyed anime plot you’ve scene got eaten all at the same time and then vomited back up.
For those that are interested, there are lots of naked bouncing boobies, animated in an exaggerated and gelatinous way.
Recommended viewing for nobody.
