NG Knight Ramune & 40

NG Knight Ramune & 40 (NG騎士ラムネ&40, Enujī Naito Ramune to Fōtī) is a Japanese anime television series of 1990. It was one of the Ramune group of television shows and OVAs, and the "NG" in the title stands for "new generation". In all there were 3 OVA series (NG Knight Ramune & 40 EX, NG Knight Ramune & 40 DX, VS Knight Ramune & 40 Fresh) and a sequel anime television series (VS Knight Ramune & 40 Fire). The original concept for the show was developed by Takehiko Ito, much of the story was written by Takao Koyama and Satoru Akahori (collectively credited as Brother Noppo), and the mecha design was done by Rei Nakahara. All anime and OVA in the series were produced by Starchild Records, and the show was broadcast on TV Tokyo from April 6, 1990 to January 4, 1991. On December 12, 2019, it was announced that Discotek Media has acquired license for North America. This include the anime, and the OVAs. The anime and the OVAs has been made available for streaming on Crunchyroll for North American viewers.

The main storyline of the series involves a boy named Ramune Baba who is sucked into the video game "King Sccasher". Ramune is a blood relative of the hero "Ramuness", and in the program he is destined to save the world from the evil Don Harumage. "Ramune" is the name of a popular, lemon-flavored Japanese carbonated drink, and most character names in the series are based on drinks, such as the character Milk. The name "Scassher" is based on the name of a competitor to Ramune, namely "Lemon Squash", a drink not franchised in America whose name is based on that of "Orange Crush", which is. This show is not related to the anime series Ramune of 2005.

The story revolves around a boy named Ramune, who loves to play video games. After an embarrassing day of school, Ramune returns home, but on his way he sees what looks like a match girl having trouble explaining that she isn't selling matches, she's selling a video game. So he buys one and easily convinces the other people to buy one as well.

The girl mysteriously disappears after Ramune asks what kind of game it is, as the game was simply entitled "King Squasher". Upon returning home he immediately turned on the TV to play it, staying up until midnight until he finally beats the game.

The girl that sold him the game came out of the TV and announced her name was Milk, and that Ramune is the blood relative of the hero Ramuness, and he is destined to save the Hara-Hara World from the evil Don Harumage. And without question Ramune is dragged into their world where he then acquires Tama-Q, an advisor robot that can turn him into Ramuness, so he can use the guardian knight, King Squasher. With this he is now ready to fight Don Harumage in order to save the world.

There are 38 episodes in the series dating from 1990 to 1991.

NG Knight Ramune & 40 appeared in the 2009 crossover video game Super Robot Wars NEO featuring much of the main cast. It later appeared as one of the beginning titles used the multi-chapter release Super Robot Wars: Operation Extend which borrows many features from NEO.
