"Jet Racing" has become a mega-popular extreme sport across the world, and with good reason! The "Jetter" pilots a high velocity watercraft and is paired with a "Shooter", who blasts rival teams with a water gun. It all adds up to explosive, wet-and-wild action as they race to the finish and compete to earn supremacy. Among those competing is Rin Namiki, and racing is in her blood. Rin aspires to become a legendary Jetter just like her mother, and after meeting the cool and gorgeous Shooter Misa Aoi, it looks like Rin's dreams are finally in reach with a partner who shares her passion! Every race brings them tighter together as a team and closer than ever to their dream of becoming the best Jet Racers on the water.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: The reason Kaguya Shijyuin and Fumika Shinshijyuin both have PurpleEyes and hair in ringlets is because they belong to the same clan.

* NotSoAboveItAll: After she gave an unenthusiastic "yeah" prior to the preliminaries in Episode 9, Kiriko gives an heartfelt BigYes in Episode 12 [[spoiler:after Rin and Misa win the Kandagawa Cup]].

* ChromosomeCasting: Jet Race is a sport for women, and on top of that the main characters study at an OneGenderSchool.

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to its "sisters" franchises, ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' and ''[[VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni Valkyrie Drive]]''. While neither of those is a stranger to lighthearted and comedy-focused {{Fanservice}}, they could also be serious and dramatic when needed, and during their moments of action they could bring very high stakes. ''Kandagawa Jet Girls'', on the other hand, is about a sport, which naturally has much lower stakes and no actual violence.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The setting is of the series is, for the most part, identical to our contemporary world. Then you start noticing all the futuristic technology that goes in every aspect of Jet-Racing.

* ChristmasCake: Yamada, the teacher Rin got to be the advisor of her new Jet-Racing club. When Rin [[ThatCameOutWrong makes everyone think she and Misa are together romantically]], her first reaction is "they beat me to it". Her second reaction is to ask for dating advice.

* MrExposition: Syoco, who serves as commentator to explain the rules of Jet racing for the benefit of the audience on both sides of the fourth wall.

* RedOniBlueOni: Aqua and Syoco, the commentators of the local Jet races, have this dynamic. Aqua energetically narrates the race while Syoco calmly explains the rules of the sport and the strategies of the teams.
* ShotInTheAss: In their very first race, Kuromaru hits Misa in the butt with her high-powered squirt gun.

* BareYourMidriff: Manatsu and Yuzu do this when they are racing.

* CleavageWindow: Jennifer has one in her wetsuit, shaped like an inverted heart.

* AbsoluteCleavage:
** Rin's mother Furuki wore her wetsuit wide open to show her cleavage.
** Jennifer and Emily both wear shirts with exactly one button in use, which shows off their cleavage completely.

* ClothingDamage: Shooting the water gun at an opponent's wetsuit can cause pieces of it to disengage and fall off in a "[[WardrobeMalfunction "suit purge]], providing convenient {{Fanservice}}. This is described by the commentators as a [[InsaneTrollLogic safety feature]].

* MaleGaze: Unsurprisingly, there's a lot of focus on the girls chests and butts.

An anime series, made by {{Creator/TNK}}, was released on October 8, 2019 as part of the Fall 2019 season.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Multiple Examples:

* {{Adorkable}}: Beneath her overly serious demeanor, Misa can be downright silly. Best exemplified when she gets very serious about touring Rin through Asakusa and then challenging Jennifer to a Jet race over a keychain shaped like a yellow dolphin both wanted.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Several examples.
** Rin spends most of the first episode gushing over how "cute" all the girls she meets are. There is also her serious case of NoSenseOfPersonalSpace towards her female friends.
** Misa treats the sightseeing trip she takes Rin to in episode 3 as a date. She is very disappointed that Emily and Jennifer took Rin to all the places she wanted to while they were separated. Also, she wanted to have a matching keychain with Rin enough to start a Jet-Race for it.
* AuthorAppeal: The multimedia project was created by Kenichiro Takaki (creator of the ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' and ''[[VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni Valkyrie Drive]]'' franchises) and the anime is directed by Hiraku Kaneko (director of ''Anime/{{Witchblade}}'', ''Manga/ManyuHikencho'', the same ''[[Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid Valkyrie Drive]]''...). It's no surprise that ''Kandagawa Jet Girls'' is also overflowing with things both men love, like implausibly huge breasts and gratuitous {{Gainaxing}}.

* BerserkButton: Fumika Shinshijyuin hates being remembered that she only belongs to a branch family of the Shijyuin family, which [[TheRival Kaguya Shijyuin]] belongs to.
* BigBeautifulWoman: Kuromaru. Not only she is very tall, she also has a large chest and is noticeably chubbier than any of the other girls in the main cast. But this doesn't mean she isn't targeted by the MaleGaze like the others are.
* BigEater: Kuromaru is constantly seen eating, which is why she's a BigBeautifulWoman. Her manager tells her she needs to lose some weight.
* CastingGag: Ai Farouz (Emily Orange's voice actress), [[Manga/HowHeavyAretheDumbbellsYouLift once more]] voices a DarkSkinnedBlonde.

* ClothingDamage: Shooting the water gun at an opponent's wetsuit can cause pieces of it to disengage and fall off in a [[WardrobeMalfunction "suit purge"]], providing convenient {{Fanservice}}. This is described by the commentators as a [[InsaneTrollLogic safety feature]].

* TheDitz: Rin promised her father that she would go to the dorm as soon as she arrived in Tokyo. She forgot about the promise in seconds, as she got distracted by pretty much everything in Tokyo, [[AmbiguouslyGay including the girls living there]]. Later, when she sees a man running past her with a bag identical to hers, it takes her an embarrassingly long time to realize she had just been robbed.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening song is performed by Yuu Sasahara and Riko Kohara, Rin and Misa's voice actresses respectively. The ending song, on the other hand, is performed by Creator/AzusaTadokoro, Kaguya's voice actress.
* DoubleEntendre: Yuzu has a special way to describe Emily's water bazooka that leaves Manatsu red like a tomato.

* FunbagAirbag: While looking for Misa, Rin bumps into Emily Orange's boobs (since she's a head taller than her).

* GorgeousGaijin: The pair of Emily Orange and Jennifer Peach. They speak in GratuitousEnglish, are {{Occidental Otaku}}s and are no less pretty than any of the Japanese girls.
* GyaruGirl: The pair of Manatsu and Yuzu. They have loose socks, super short skirts, plenty of accessories and use lots of slangs in their speech. Manatsu even has tanned skin.
* JustToyingWithThem: Kaguya refuses to use the boost function of her jet in matches where she is sure she can win without it. It's noted that she has only used it twice in official matches, but she also has never lost because of her refusal to use it. While she and Kuromaru defeat Rin and Misa in episode 2 without it, Kaguya is impressed that the two made her consider using the boost (doubly impressive because Rin didn't use her boost either, as she didn't know how).
* {{Keigo}}: Jennifer and Emily use a slightly broken version when speaking Japanese. Like many western tourists, it makes them sound stilted and formal when trying to be conversational.

* MissingMom: Rin's mom Furuki passed away some time before the series.
* MulticoloredHair: Misa's hair is black, but has some purple strands at the front.

* NewTransferStudent: Rin transfers from an island near Nagasaki to a boarding school in Tokyo.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Rin is quite prone to approaching her friends very closely, especially Misa. When Misa warns her that the bed where she just lay down was hers, Rin reacts by ''smelling'' her new roommate to compare with the smell of the bed.
* OccidentalOtaku: Emily and Jennifer. They spent most of their screen-time in episode 3 praising everything Japanese they can find. And since they are in Tokyo, this equals to pretty much every little thing around them.
* OjouRinglets: Kaguya's hair is arranged in a waist long drill. Rin's student council president Fumika has them much shorter and arranged to the sides. [[TheClan There's a reason for that]].

* RapunzelHair: Misa's hair goes all the way to her hips, Kaguya's and Jennifer's reach their butts and Kuromaru's twin-tails reach her knees.

* {{Sideboob}}: Both Emily and Jennifer display this in their wetsuits.

* StatuesqueStunner: Kuromaru Manpuku is the tallest female at 178cm, and like most girls she has some large GagBoobs.
* {{Stripperific}}: Manatsu and Yuzu wear clothes that are much skimpier than the rest of the cast. This is likely part of their GyaruGirl fashion.

* {{Twincest}}: While it's not clear if they're really twins, Pan Ziyu and Pan Dina look way too close. Sitting in each other's lap while in their underwear, letting their hands roam each other's bodies...

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Kuromaru has magenta hair, Kaguya has silver hair and Jennifer has pink hair.

* BerserkButton: Fumika Shinshijuin hates being remembered that she only belongs to a branch family of the Shijuin family, which [[TheRival Kaguya Shijuin]] belongs to.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: The reason Kaguya Shijuin and Fumika Shinshijuin both have PurpleEyes and hair in ringlets is because they belong to the same clan.

** Rin spends most of the first episode gushing over how "cute" all the girls she meets are.
** Misa seems to want to treat the sightseeing trip in episode 3 as a date.

* GyaruGirl: The pair of Manatsu and Yuzu. They have loose socks, super short skirts and lots of accessories. Manatsu even has tanned skin.

* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Rin is quite prone to approach very closely Misa and other females too.

* ClipShow: Episode 4.5

* RecapEpisode: Because episode 5 was delayed a week, a recap episode, numbered 4.5, was created.

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening song is performed by Yuu Sasahara and Riko Kohara, Rin and Misa's voice actresses respectively.

The series, animated by {{Creator/TNK}}, was released during the Fall 2019 season.
