Kandagawa Jet Girls

Welcome to my review of Kandagawa Jet Girls This review have some minor spoilers in it!



The story itself are very simple!! Like they often are in CGDCT anime!! Girls competing on jet skis!!Its a team racing sport with a driver and a shooter! Trying to shoot water on each other so they will lose their cloth!! Or stop the jet ski dead in the track.The jets skis and their cloth have sensitive spots which they aim for. It's a simple and fun concept!! Rin is a well-developed girl full of genki!! She likes to race!! And she also likes other girls!! So she decides to go to the big city, and take part of the fun!!! And there she meets her partner and the skilled shooter Misa. Who is a bit more shy than Rin and rather tend to herself. But after becoming roommates Rin wins Misas heart, And together they start a club to race other girls!!!! It's the typical cute girls doing cute things story,.Girl wants to do something meet other girl falls in love. Then starting a club and more girls will join! Only difference this anime are more focused on the other teams and the girls in them,rather then only focus on all the member's in Misas and Rins club!!



Overall the story is entertaining heartwarming humorous and enjoyable!!It also have some sport and drama segments but neither take up to much place. Its more focused on the girls and they having a good time!! I just want more its very captivating and comfortable just like it should be in a CGDCT/Yuri anime!!



Love the art a bit simple but the girls are beautiful and lot of fun Ecchi! Warm colours and the CGI effects when they are racing looks great! Noting that really impresses greatly! I've seen better! But for being a CGDCT it holds a high standard overall! Even if it's not the best! It still looks really good and definitely doing its job!!



The sound is one of the less important factors for me in an anime! But I like the op!! And the sound may not be memorable. But its far from being irritating screeching noise that hurts my ears!! So no problem with the sound



The characters are just the best!! Very alluring and lovable girls overall!! Easygoing emphatic and charming females, Like they should be in a CGDCT/Yuri.That rather wanna be friends then fierce rivals or enemy's.There are a good variations so they also feels like individuals and are interesting in their own way!! Some of them like the lesbians twins can be a bit annoying! But again it give some variations when some of the females are more competitive than others!! They are captivating and they get all the focus, so they can grow and are easy to appreciate!! The anime take its time to build the characters! Which is extremely important!! Its all about the girls!!



Love to see the main girls and their strong character developments!! Rin better herself at the sport and putting in a huge amount of efforts! She really wants to win and show her girlfriend she is serious!! And she excels on all levels!! Misa are really good at the sport already! But she became more open towards Rin and stop shutting herself in!! Misa is shy but she likes Rin. And after seeing how serious Rin is, love start to develop and she starts to open up! From being so shy having a problem asking for Rins phone number! To go around and hold her hand!!! Its super cute and makes me so happy! And for me personal I love to see how jealous Misa become later in! She becomes really irritated as soon another girl touch Rin hugs her or show to much interest!!She want Rin for herself and for me that is monumental plus!! And because their relationship get so much stronger! Their performance also increase. It's a team sport after all! Misa and Rin are not only a team in that manner! They are also a lesbian couple! And because the anime care so much, And takes a big portion of its time to build the girls!! Strengthen them and their relationship. It also feels very credible overall and makes them shine!!!



And with the strong characters that I love I also really enjoy the anime overall. I love Yuri!! And there are warm friendly lesbians everywhere!!!,,YEEES!!!! As far as the eye can see!!! Clinging onto each other holding hands hugging and the flirting are all over the place!! Misa and her girlfriend Rin are adorable together Its Yuri heaven! Everything to lesbian couples! Too heavily implied on lesbian sex is taken place!! That is noting you see everyday in anime!!



Sadly some people don't understand what a Yuri is and questioning it!! Well people I know Yuri well!! And they have flashed the white lily with a blue overtone!! It's a symbol they use in Japan in lesbian media!! If people don't understand what that means their knowledge about Yuri are very low!!The are few Yuri's every year, and this is a heavily fetishist one with only females!! Exactly how I want them to be!!



And If you are looking for a sport anime with fierce competition rivalry and similar aspects.You are barking at the wrong tree .This is not it!! This is a Yuri and a CGDCT show. With huge among of Ecchi , and a tiny tiny speck of sport and competing .The racing is only there to give the cute girls something to do, rather to sit on their adorable little asses all day long and being cute .This shouldn't even have the sport tag in my meaning.Sport fans should keep away from this!!



But if you like cute girls. Who getting lewd all the time!!Touching each other constantly being super nice and a lot heartwarming moments!! .And all of those divine angels are lesbians!!,,,YEEES!!!!,,You will love this and have a lot of fun!! So for all pure Yuri lovers like me, I strongly recommend this anime!!



Thank you for reading!!!

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 there was that suggested lesbian thing that them dogs would wanna wink wink their winky.

Art-Good 7: What can I say, It was all about the boobs , ass , boobs, curves, boobs, swimsuit and boob, boobs and boobs, cu'z that what makes them dogs go gaga over it.

Sound- Very Good 8: That was for the opening theme, BULLET MERMAID" by Yuu Sasahara and Riko Kohara. and "RIVALS" by Azusa Tadokoro.

Character- Pathetic 1: Ok, so what we have here were a pair of 6 teams, and as to what I can say only team "Dress" that was composed of the quintessential rich girl, Kaguya Shijuuin and her quintessential maid bitch, Kuromaru Manbu were the only one whom you could consider as the antagonist given that we never see them interact with any of the other team after episode one. The rest, well, you could say that for them to be condescending to the main duo, Rin and Misa was more like a start but just as what was expected there wasn't much of any good rivalry except in the jet race, but then again this was more on the relationship between them Orcano girls like Rin and Misa as to how their relationship blossom. Ok, so what about it???? Well, that's just it ,it was more of that lesbian thing and quite frankly every character here except for them "Dress" girls were more on that lesbian love thing, the most intense was with the Pan sister or them idol bitches, in fact you'll always see them making love of sorts. Shit , them dogs looks like they like them making it out.

Enjoyment-Poor 3: Frankly, the only thing that make this enjoyable was the uncensored version, everything else was more like a chore.

Overall-Dreadful 2: For something that was taken from a game, I wouldn't find it surprising that the game itself was more on the galge side than in the racing side and no offends , but for someone to give this a high overall score, probably can't get enough of them Yuri thing.

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 will face are: new weapons and driving styles (that doesn't make that much difference since not much of the race is focused anyway).

On the races, sometimes they will rely on CGI, and it looks as good as Hatsune Miku (the vocaloid) in 2009 - it isn't bad, but it feels outdated, specially when their face are expressionless.

There is one or two moments of character development so, basically they keep pretty much the same throughout the series.

Voice acting imo is 50/50, I've seen some great promise here on this anime, I really enjoyed how Riko Kohara (Misa Aoi) gave life to her character, however there are others that either has a disconnection between voice and body or voices that are so similar to others used in different animes that if you did a blind test you wouldn't be able to point out the character. So kudos to Riko Kohara.

The animation is lazy and poor, the drawings are okay considering 9 of the racers have big tits and the other 3 are lolis, not a complain, but characters outside the race seem to have more normal bodies. Also, the last episode seemed to have a poorer quality than usual imo.

They even finish saying this is our favourite water sport, but you will have to agree that Keijo!!! did a far better job than Kandagawa, still if you just watch it for "plot" than you will enjoy it, I tried to point out other points too.

Okay so I think that as an anime fan, you all had at least one show where, at a first look at it, 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 at my knowledge in fictions and well... ANIME GIRLS.
Pretty much anybody could like that, if it were done good you know.

Unfortunately Kandagawa Jet Girls that I will abridge as "Jet Girls" did not gave me the "good take" that I wanted and I'm gonna try explaining why.
First of all, Jet Girls is an ecchi/sport/moe anime created by the minds behind Senran Kagura ((the games) for those who don't know, it's a game franchise with a lot of fan service that has been adapted in anime) and made by the studio "TNK", well known for Highschool DxD, Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai (not the Nanatsu no Taizai you are searching for, be careful) and... oh well School Days.
So yeah that's not a good start.
It Follows the concept of "cute girls doing cute things" where this time, the "cute thing" in question is Jet Ski.

Without further delay, let's head into the actual review!


Story (5/10):
The plot is pretty simple, Rin Namiki, a young enthusiastic girl leaves her home town to go in a big city where a river named Kandagawa is the central point of a new sporting discipline called "Jet Race", and she's gonna be aiming at being the best at it.
Jet Race is basically casual Jet Ski but must be done by peers of two girls, one racer, one shooter, and with a bunch of little other things.
You know, like the possibility of shooting the opponents to make theirs clothes drop, that kind of NORMAL things.
You can also shoot the opponents Jet to make them slow down and the Jet themselves can activate a boost occasionally during the race.
The goal of Jet Racing to obviously to finish the course at first place, while attacking the opponent team to prevent them from winning.

Yeah, noticed how it is more looking like the concept of a video-game rather than one of an anime?
And rightly, because that's actually a game, the anime is none other than a kind of promo for the incoming "true product".
Do I mean to say that's bad? Well no but actually yes, at least it's not in every cases but that is what gonna explain a few things in the failure of this anime.

But coming back at the story, Rin Namiki will team up with Misa Aoi, a shooting prodigy that kind of lost her passion for Jet Race and yeah you know how it will go.
They will, on their journey, meet up with a bunch of others females characters that are also teaming up and practicing Jet Race to eventually become rival friends with them.
So, that's a lot to remember but, is the story bad? Well yes and no.

Yes because in the execution and development it's absolutely cliche and basic, without any attempt to do something greater than barely passable, basic moe thing by the way if you ask me, except for a few jewels.
And no because in the ideas that the universe introduces, like Jet Race and only Jet race actually with the things around it are pretty interesting and not too bad.

So it's a perfect fifty fifty, not bad, not good, just tolerable and potentially a good support to do cool things with the characters while fan servicing.


Characters (3/10):
Oh well, let's forget about what I've said a second ago.

THE CHARACTERS OF THIS ANIME ALL ARE AN ABSOLUTE DUMPSTER FIRE.

Let's say you put all the bad sides of moe and cliche shonen in one damn mixer trying to get them all in, and put it to work, the result will be without any doubt Jet Girls.
All the situations and interactions are completely exaggerated, overused and absolutely not enjoyable.
Take the Misa/Rin relationship for example, it's the thing the most far away from a realistic point of view of a friendship that I have ever seen in my life.
It's no believable, not even one second, and the moe and ecchi side of the anime completely steals the spot and that's pretty problematic for the principal peer of protagonists that we're gonna have for like, 12 episodes long.
It ruins any effort of the story to be a little bit interesting and the crappy archetypes of the characters are being so much used to the edge that, at a certain point, they don't even feel like human beings anymore.
All of that makes the characters absolutely not likable and I'm personally literally not attached to anyone in this show.

Oh yeah and everyone is pretty much gay is this anime, because... well because.
It does nothing with it and barely shows it but yeah that's a moe thing again, don't worry.
Do I have to say that I absolutely hated the voice actors of this anime? I guess I don't, because that's AGAIN... a moe thing.

If I can give one good credit to the characters, it is that at least their development is okay, well for those who actually have a development but hey, you know what we say, that's...? Right, a moe thing.
Again, it's cliche and without any risks but it's pretty solid with it I guess.

So yeah, the characters are really bad and of course with a LOOOOOOOT of dumb fan service you can include in the problematic.


Art (4/10):
The art is not good.
I say it directly, the art is really not good at all.
In fact, it's one of the major flaws in this anime.

First, well, all of the races are made in CGI :)
So it's not very good, but you know what?
I can personally pass beyond that because in terms of camera work and rhythm, they stay pretty exciting (yeah I made a compliment to the anime but don't pay attention to it).

But the enormous problem with the art is on the characters.
First, they don't look well artistically speaking, their faces also are always changing traits due to a lack of animation quality and not a single one of them have a gimmick that represents them and their personalities in the way they move of react.

They almost have no characterization already and this flaw extends himself in the art style and animation, and for an ANIMATED work that wants to be cute and attractive, well I guess you could say that it's a huge letdown.


Sound (4/10):
Honestly, I don't even know what the fuck is going on with the soundtrack.
It sounds like eurobeat mixed with dumbstep 80% of the time and the rest is just some annoying and forgettable ost.

I don't have really much more to say about it, it's just weird and it wasn't my thing.


Enjoyment (6/10):
Finally a score above average and yeah, I pretty much enjoy this anime, I guess?

Like I laughed a lot, that's for sure, but it's really not for the good reason.
At first I started this anime with some hopes but after the first episode, they were already all completely crushed.
But there was a thing that kept me watching it until the end, coming back every week to see each new episode.

And Jet Girls is really not good but, I'd say it's so much bad that it kinda grown on me with time and I think I like it for being terrible.
There is not a lot of anime that can make me go in a state where I can't stop from laughing like this one, so yeah I pretty much enjoy it.


Overall (4/10):
So why am I making this review if I actually enjoyed this anime?

You know, it's not because you enjoy something that you actually can't admit that it is bad and I'm doing this long review just for sharing my opinion of a random guy that does loves reasonably enough ecchi or yuri to have a less biased opinion than a lot of people in this review section ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think that can be interesting, but anyway do put me on the touch so quick, because I'm not totally done with Jet Girls.

To conclude, it's a bad anime, a unused potential to deliver a strong female sport anime that could have had actually GOOD fan service.
It wasn't impossible, far from it.
The story and characters are pretty much terrible up at some point and it's so cliche and non inspired that it became barely believable
Everything comes with extremely low effort and inspiration and it upsets me a lot when I look above my personal enjoyment to see that such a great idea on the paper went to be a catastrophic mess like that, reduced to a stupid promotion for an upcoming eponymous anticipated game.
The history of this anime was already written before it aired, it was meant to sell games, like the Senran Kagura anime does and very much like it again, not being good.

Anyway, that was all I had to say on "Kandagawa Jet Girls", thanks to you if you've read all the way down there.
Don't forget, never stop to like what you like and it's time for me to retreat (งツ)ว

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 the major focus and narrative focus are on our main core duo Misa Aoi voiced by Riko Kohara and Rin Namiki voiced by Yuu Sasahara, Misa is the no nonsense stoic one but has a slight dere to her tsun to her "frienemies" while Rin is the ditzy genki girl of the anime and is the liking to ALOT of the girls in the cast. Now most of the rivals that Misa and Rin faces are well frienemies, once they race once they becomes friends rather quickly as a result and this anime's tone becomes an ensemble cast where the cast almost coincidentally do the same things together. The rivals consist of Manatasu Shiraishi voiced by Chika Anzai and Yuzu Midorikawa voiced by Kaori Maeda as the gyaru popular duo, Emily Orange voiced by Ai Fairouz and Jennifer Peach voiced by Lynn as the funny foreigner yet Japanese dup who loves Japanese stuff and Fuuka Tamaki voiced by Ayaka Asai and Ziyu Pan voiced by Rumi Ookubo as the idol duo "Hell's Kitchen" with one having a rather narcissistic competitive streak to them. Misa and Rin does have supportive members to their Jet Racing club, that of the mechanic of the Orcano Jet and the caretaker of Misa and Rin's dorm that helps the both of them out club related. Finally we have Rin and Misa' actual goal of the anime, that of defeating and winning against Manpuku Kuromaru voiced by Aya Suzaki and Kaguya Shishuuin voiced by Azusa Tadokoro the reigning champions. For the most part, it's the development of Rin and Misa's relationship as the start off kinda rocky with their personalities clashing and as a result, both of them needing to learn about teamwork to win through their impromptu races. As for their rivals, they have their base personalities and gimmicks about them and they really don't development outside of that, it's Rin and Misa's story through an through.

And in comes some problems LA have with Kandagawa Jet Girls, the rivals themselves are pretty bland as rivals due to their running gags and gimmicks being their ONLY personality trait about them let alone that they don't develop AT ALL. Next and lastly is that the animation tends to go into the derpy side, on speaking of which...

The animation done by TNK is ehhh ok, Kandagawa Jet Girls does have an uncensored version and even then the animation is just ehhh, the character designs are striking at least but that's the best it's got it for it. The Jet Racers are ok but stilted due to the 3DCGI used but for the most part they are ehhhh ok. TNK's animation is kinda expected from them at this point with the major focus on the fanservice and character designs and it shows.

The voice cast has a mixture of rookie and veterans seiyuus with the rookie's taking on the main character status, that of Riko kohara and Yuu Sasahara as Misa and Rin. Ai Fairouz has gotten herself a niche as a blonde gyaru as Emily Orange while LA didn't even notice that Chika Anzai voiced Manatsu and Aya Suzaki voiced Manpuku. To be honest, the voice cast was decent if not excessively moe, if you can withstand that.

Sure Kandagawa Jet Girls has it's flaws in it's rivals and character development outside of Rin and Misa being bare minimum running gag material, with it's animation by TNK needing some touch ups and it having derps here and there with stilted 3DCGI with the races. Kandagawa Jet Girls is nonetheless, not horrible, unabashedly it KNOWS what it wanted to do, stumbled a couple of times and is mostly on the laxxed side of things for character and plot but LA can't hate this anime, it pretty much gave LA the same feelings LA had to the first season of Senran Kagura as it had it's problems but wasn't horrible but it's fanservice wasn't annoying, it had it's charm and so does Kandagawa Jet Girls and again it shows since the creator of Senran Kagura had a hand in this anime. To this end, this anime having a rather large focus on Rin and Misa's relationship for both good and bad times they go through, all the way through it's an unbashed yuri fanservice anime about their relationship as well as their rivals nudging this notion even more.

This is a fun anime, not amazing, not profound, and there really is a bit ecchi. The anime however is fun, and that has been pretty good to pass the time, the type of anime to watch on the subway or bus.

I like some part of the animation and design of the jet sky. Its futuristic but also traditonal, the emotional drama that unravel is pretty ok.

The art is a 5 and nothing to be amazed specially since the computer driven animation is hard to screw up.

The ecchi was great sometimes, specially since I watch the explicit version without much censorship. I like that the are funny excuses to watch nipples and boobs. But never goes beyond that.

That said is not that prevalent and well is also not suggestive at all, just the casual shower scene and battle misshappen.

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 girls on this show, to be honest, are the Idol team Hell's Kitchen. For what it is worth against the main protagonist they are a more interest team. They seek to develop and take from others experiences to grow. Whereas, Rin is stuck in the past with a heartfelt story that has affected her through the majority of 11 episodes until she finally realises the truth. Misa is just a girl who is in the hard done self-pity that ruins all the character-building around her. She would have been better just staying as a Tsundere.

The show itself with the story is just a mess of fan service. I do enjoy such things but it feels so forced and uncomfortable at times.

At least with the second-best girls being the shrine maidens, they are interesting and normal in proportions. Personally I like to see girls with a more average which let us not forget by global standards is an EU B rating, so why everyone in this is abnormally huge doesn't make sense.

The art of the show is pretty average and personally I feel like it was a bad choice of animation style. It just doesn't work.

The OP is fun but the rest of the sounds are pretty average.

Character development as said would have been much better focusing on Hell's Kitchen and the shrine maidens as a side as opposed to the lacklustre main protagonists we actually got in the end.

As far an enjoyment goes the show is very average. It does nothing special and what it does do is overdone.

Overall, this was not for me. It isn't just because I prefer smaller chests on girls but because the show is forced and not very comfortable. The story lacks anything truly interesting and leaves me with a dull ending.

An anime where cute girls in tight outfits race on jet skis as a professional sport? It seems perfect for some mindless fun. I'll even give the way in which the jet races work a pass, regardless of how silly they are.

Sadly, the anime falls flat for one or two reasons, such as the terrible animation, the nonexistent story, and the bland characters.

Nearly every episode is just an excuse for the main characters to participate in a race against some other one-dimensional characters. That could be fine, except the races themselves are bogged down by atrocious CGI and animation that manages to appear extremely static. It's like watching a slide show half the time.

As for the characters, there's really nothing to write about because there's nothing there. Every character is a big-breasted teenager with a single defining feature, except for two characters who have small breasts and a single defining feature. I admit I quite like breasts, both big and small, but it seems like all the characters are is a pair of tits on a stock personality.

The sound during the episode is fine, and I'm a fan of the OP.

Do yourself a favour and avoid this train wreck. If you want to watch cute girls doing ecchi sports and enjoy it, watch Keijo. If you want to watch hentai, watch hentai- it'll probably have better plot.

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.

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
