This is, without a doubt, one of the most fun anime I've seen in a long time. This is animated fantasy at its best. They invent an exciting sport of racing up and down an urban river on two person jet skis while shooting at each other with water guns. What could be more fun than that? Exploding racing jackets. If they're hit just right either their jet ski slows down or their racing jacket flies off. Everything is a fun trope in this silly adventure. The wide-eyed rookie from a remote southern island is teamed up with a grouchy veteran Jet Racer. The rookie is the jetter (driver) and the grouchy veteran is the shooter, and hilarity ensues.
The other teams are all Anime tropes that you've seen before, one team is Americans (You can tell by the H size bra cups) Another team are Japanese ido…

Kandagawa Jet Girls is an anime with an interesting premise, but completely fell flat in terms of execution, the end result is a cliche-filled show without a strong identity. There could have been two appeals to this anime, firstly it could have had intense sports rivalry or relationship drama that intensify the matches or it could have had the appeal of being a relaxing cute comedy show.
The premise of the anime is based on a fictional water sport, jet racing. The sport itself had interesting rules of being a 2 ppl team. Instead of typical 1 racer only, you would have a driver and a shooter that can shoot bullets to slow the opponent down, and the fact that jets can be optimized to fit the style of the driver/shooter.
The concept was interesting to me, and I kept on watching, hoping t…

Kandagawa Jett Girls isn't really mediocre as people say. It has good elements and decent storytelling, not the best but definitely good. The story focuses on two girls Rin Namaki and Misa Aoi who are in a Jet racing club and compete against other teams from different schools Rin is aspiring to become a pro jet racer just like her mom and Misa is trying to find her rhythm to get back on her feet. At first, I did find Rin's constantly meddling annoying and I can tell Misa was annoyed too. She needs her private space but Rin was just constantly being pushy, after a while, I started to like her a bit. She's really a cheerful and playful person. I liked the interactions between the characters, most specifically Rin and Misa. Their relationship started off rocky but gradually Misa opened up to…

Story and characters:
This anime is about girls practicing a fictional sport and having fun. I felt like there is an excess of characters.
It has one of the simplest stories I have seen. I think this anime shows respect to its viewers in a sense because there is no hype or big promises, nor characters talking in an unnatural way to make things look important. It is a show that doesn't attempt to hook you. I think this is a good thing.
Art and sound:
Nothing out of the ordinary, it all combines with the cheerfulness of the characters. The OP and ED are good. Overall:
It is a fun show to watch. I honestly haven't found any particular problem to complain about.

I don't usually do many reviews, but I felt like I should at least try to persuade people to watch this. At the very least I feel like it's underrated cuz people see some boobs and probably assume the worst, just like I did.
For starters, i'm not a fanservice guy. I'm mostly a romance/slice of life/Romcom kinda person. Me and fanservice just don't get along. For a comparison, Keijo, similar sports type ecchi anime, got a 4 from me.
Going into this, I had zero expectations and figured i'd just be met with your typical ecchi garbage. I'm part of a group that throws anime into a competition and let rng decide our next watch. Of course of all the things that could win, it was Kandagawa Jet Girls.
It basically shocked our whole group when we all ended up invested in the characters and their…

HI This is shiro, idk what can i say to this anime
the story itself is very simple, you can guess the the flow of story right away.
The design of character is good, but the background characters itself are very simple
if you are looking fanservice without bother the story, i think this is good for you, but to me its below average.
the sport innovation is kind of new, the rules are simple too.
its just my review dont bother it too much with my review. in the end you guys should take the watch and review itself

Jet Girls is as much about racing as Grand Blue is about diving. Not in the funny sense of avoiding a plot objective to accentuate comedy; Jet Girls tries to be taken seriously as a sports anime and utterly fails to sell a convincing narrative. Then the time that it wastes trying to be sincere is to the detriment of the fanservice that 99% of viewers are only interested in to begin with. In all you have a product that spreads itself too thin and winds up mediocre in all areas.
The racing segments mix poorly rendered CG visuals that break viewer immersion into the action as they do not at all resemble the fluidity of water sports. The teams have good visual concepts and unique designs, but are not taken advantage of through enough character exposition and build up to make the races feel me…

Kandagawa Jet Girls is not for all viewers, but it was certainly made for me. It was a wonderful adventure that started with Namiki Rin going to Kandagawa to pursue her dream of becoming a jet racer.
Jet Girls had a wonderful cast of characters that made the story a lot more enjoyable than it should have been. The main characters are wonderful and seeing their friendship grow throughout the show was heartwarming and made me tear up at the end of the show. The show also had wonderful 3D animation that was well made and made the racing feel more realistic.
In short, Jet girls was worth the watch and I would recommend it to anyone that liked Two Car. I give it a solid 10/10 in my heart. Best anime of 2019.

What looked to be a mediocre sports anime at first actually turned out to be one of the cutest yuri love stories I have seen in an anime. This show has great characters, good humor and is wholesome af with a satisfying ending. I went into it for the fanservice (of which there is plenty) but I stayed for the comedy and romance. The interaction between the main characters is great and the side characters manage to represent a variety of archetypes in a self-aware manner that doesnt feel annoying at all. The animation is good except during the racing sequences which feature 3D animations that look a bit low budget. Way underrated show in my opinion!

Kandagawa Jet Girls (2019)
So, of course, the story is very simple. Jet skiing on more futuristic platforms with a gunner. Magazines with more ammunition than anything I have ever known but then it isn't real.
The show has some merit but I do struggle to notice it behind all the unnecessary extra things.
Why every time Rin gets emotional she has to place her hands on her chest is somewhat weird. I know the show has a huge basis on the Ecchi side of animation but it just feels weird. Almost uncomfortable.
They do cover just about every possible trope you can imagine except for a true Yandere style girl.
The team with Kaguya the grey-haired girl have to me what I see as uncomfortably large chests. To the point, I even think some Hentai may see it in the niche market.
The best girl…

There is more to racing than just increasing your speed...............Hummm , maybe but not with this trash and seriously, whoever thinks that this should have a high score, must've have been one lusty puppy. So, without anymore bullshit, here are my ratings for this trashy anime:
Story-Mediocre: Regardless as to what any reviewer says, it was just the usual josei genre sport plot where girl go to school with dreams of joining some club, only to find it crumbling or it doesn't exist at all, and another girls who was once into that kind of thing , but has already given up but was forced into going back to the very thing that she tries to forget. And , in the end they came out victorious, TCH!!!! Very mediocre at all, in fact the real story around here was more on that skinship thing where…

Okay so I think that as an anime fan, you all had at least one show where, on the first look, it seemed fine and you were like "oh that show looks good, I have to try it".
And the more and the more you learn things about it, the more it scares you...
BUT you end up trying anyway.
Yeah, that's me and Kandagawa Jet Girls, I mean come on, who wouldn't enjoy a Jet Ski anime with anime girls?
Because it's a nice idea for a plenty of reasons, like Jet Ski isn't that much of a deal from my knowledge in fictions in general and well... ANIME GIRLS.
Pretty much anybody could like that, if it were done good.
Unfortunately Kandagawa Jet Girls that I will abridge as "Jet Girls" did not gave me the "good take" I wanted and I'm gonna try to explain why.
First of all, Jet Girls is an ecchi/sport/moe ani…

Kandagawa Jet Girls is a sports anime about PWC, where duos races each other in the Kandagawa River, our protagonists are the genius shooter Misa Aoi, dubbed by Riko Kohara and the genius speeder Rin Namiki, dubbed by Yuu Sasahara. Misa used to live in the shadow of her sister, another genius shooter, and felt like she had to be just like her, Rin, on the other hand, has a speeder mother and despite her not imposing anything on her daughter, Rin wanted to be just like her, even being a speeder.
The story turns around only one thing: their desire to win the Kandagawa Cup against the other schools. So all the races will be set on the same river, they don't change the course, don't add new obstacles, no challenges whatsover so all the races will be the same, the difference our protagonists w…

The creator of Senran Kagura had a hand in this anime, ohhh it's shows it shows.
Do you know what Kandagawa Jet Girls reminds LA of, it's the time where light music all girls club animes were all the rage but replace that with sports (Jet riding) and a whole lot of fanservice and shoujo ai elements into it and we have Kandagawa Jet Girls. Kandagawa Jet Girls have that air that it was influenced by the K-On!'s and BanG Dream's but to add that fanservice and yuri elements they made the activity to get all the girls into the club being jet riding in which two people ride on the jets, one who drives, the other that has a water firearm as it were to slow down the opposing rider.
The characters for the most part have their pairing schtick since the entire jet racing is also in pairings but th…

Welcome to my review of Kandagawa Jet Girls This review has some minor spoilers in it!
The story itself is very simple. Like they often are in CGDCT anime!! Girls competing on jet skis. It's a team racing sport with a driver and a shooter. Trying to shoot water at each other so they will lose their cloth!! Or stop the jet ski dead on the track. The jet's skis and their cloth have sensitive spots which they aim for.

And there she meets her partner and the skilled shooter Misa. Who is a bit shyer than Rin and rather tends to herself. But after becoming roommates Rin wins Misas heart, And together they…
