YMMV / Charger Girl

Go To

  • Best Known for the Fanservice: This anime is best known for the scenes where Plug wets herself.
  • Broken Base: Over, of all things, whether or not the constant wetting is meant as a substitute for the girls orgasming. It's believable with Arresta; not so much with Plug, for whom it just seems like another way of cementing her Butt-Monkey status.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Every episode starts with a warning that Digital Piracy Is Evil. The series was picked up by Crunchyroll, a site that originally started by sharing unauthorized fansubbed anime shows before going legit.
  • Les Yay: There seems to be something between Plug and Arresta.
    • A strong first impression is made in the Title Sequence, when they appear to come close to kissing distance.
    • Sento's boss seems to be attracted to small-chested girls, and fixated on Hakone in particular.
  • Memetic Mutation: In the vein of Durarara!!'s closing credits, the ending animation has been redone by fans with characters from countless other series.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • The incident where Plug fries her arms so badly that they carbonize into charred powder, nearly killing her. And this wasn't even the first person it happened to.
    • Chapter 31 of the manga hits hard when Plug attempts to shift to a harder workplace to try to improve herself.. only to end up in the middle of what looks a desert of a country that could very well be Africa, with an outpost filled with starving and dying people all lacking energy and no immediate power stations anywhere. The girl is so unprepared for the work that she's a borderline catatonic mess afterwards, not helped by the fact that the other Charger Girls rub it in her face how bad of a failure she was and that numerous people died due to her being unable to help them in time.
  • The Scrappy: Sento, according to the reviews on MAL. It also doesn't help that his idea of a Dope Slap is a swing of a bat.
