Synopsis

On the vivid and glistening waters of the Kanda River, Jetters and their respective Shooters race together on their jet skis, speeding through the wind as they participate in Jet Races—"the world's most intense aquatic sport!"

Chasing her dream of becoming a professional Jet Racer like her mother, Rin Namiki transfers to Asakusa Girls' High School in Tokyo. There, she stumbles upon Misa Aoi, a first-year student like her. However, tensions arise when Rin and Misa find themselves competing in a race against Team Dress from the prestigious Musashino Girls' High School.

As a result of the race, Rin tries to join her school's Jet Racing club, only to discover that there is none. But, her resolve is unshaken, and she decides to recruit Misa and three other girls to create her very own team: "Kandagawa Jet Girls." With her heart set on winning the annual Kandagawa Cup, Rin, alongside her team, approaches the grandest stage of them all.

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 ...

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.

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 meaningful. This is particularly damning because Jet Girls is/was intended to promote a racing game set to release after the anime concluded. Given how low the BD sales were, it safe to say very few viewers were convinced into buying the game itself.

Of course, it isn’t at all necessary to have a good story in order to be a good fanservice show. But even here Jet Girls has flaws as it never submerges into perverted degeneracy, only pussyfooting around the border with yuri teasing that goes nowhere and brief static shots of nudity that seem more like a checklist obligation than a dedicated effort on the part of the studio to give as much service as can reasonably fit within a given episode. There’s a huge imbalance in the nudity that some girls are given compared to others, which would typically be fine if there were more creativity in how those same characters are shown nude or it were not at the expense of the more attractive girls in the show. There's a girl in this anime with like size L tities that is scarecly ever shown past episode two. This is a travesty.

Keijo is an example of a fanservice anime that successfully intertwines competition and fanservice. Without nudity, it managed to make ass worship a constant component of the narrative itself that was enhanced by the plot developments. Not the case with Jet Girls where nudity was barred from competition - so the best fanservice scenes are never during racing segments, which happen to take up half of the episodes that they occur in.

It gets worse when you consider who the director is. Kaneko oversaw Maken-Ki, Oyokodon, Seikon no Qwaser, Valkyrie Mermaid, Nande Koko, Manyuu Hikenchou. Kaneko is an ecchi demi-god who has previously not been afraid of crossing boundaries and giving the viewer exactly what they wanted. This project is so far off from his norm - rated PG13 by comparison, that you have to wonder what went wrong. I suspect that Jet Girls being a video game adaptation that may have strict producers (Sony) has something to do with this.

It is fair to wonder who or what this anime was directed towards, neither fulfilling the requirements of being a solid sports nor fanservice show that leaves the viewer satisfied with what they’ve completed. I can't deny that some people will still like Jet Girls despite the above criticism - it can give you some mild titillation and can give you a barebones racing story with a beginning and a semi conclusion, but if you're actually invested into either the ecchi or sports genre it is difficult to overlook the above flaws that were self inflicted by pandering to two different audiences with none of the necessary nuance or detail to sell either convincingly.
