Knights of Ramune
The series known asKnights of Ramunein America and Europe is  reallyKnight Ramune and 40 Fresh, the last video sequel to the TV series  that began in 1990. Its status as a sequel explains why the story starts in  the middle with no explanation and ends inconclusively. The heroines of this  dubious magic andmechaadventure are "Holy Virgins" Cacao and Parfait,  and their recently acquired young sidekick, Lemon. They're pitted against  Rumford, a megalomaniac with a punk-rock coxcomb, who is trying to pass himself off  as Sir Ramunes. A clutch of overendowed and underdressed women attend him.Knightsepitomizes the kind of "fan service" series that causes novice  viewers to dismiss anime as mindless. The fragmentary story exists only to provide  a setting for the shots of jiggling breasts and bare bottoms.
