The website appears to be working on Chrome again, let's hope it stays that way, now for some Jet Racing.
Based on a PlayStation Racing Game, Kandagawa Jet Girls is all about the competitive world of Jet Ski Racing, the sport consisting of a jet skier and a shooter that fires a water gun make it more than your typical wave race.
The story centers around Rin and Misa as they live up to the legacy left by their mother and older sister respectively, as they go through the trials of trying to bond as a duo.
It's also the same type of anime as Keijo, no male characters, just wholesome sexy female bonding through sport, although it probably needed a bit more sport as opposed to the situations the cast find themselves in at times.
The cast are pretty strong with other duos consisting of the rich bitch and her food obsessed maid, the social media obsessed gyaru girls, the small idols who act like vtubers, the Otaku obsessed Americans with the exaggerated Engrish and finally the split personality girl and her spiritually calm girlfriend.
The balance is mostly there but spends probably too much time establishing the bonds of the leads with Misa being the one that holds back the plot for the whole 12 episode run.
For the most part it's fairly decent with a good finish.
The dub on the other hand is really terrible don't watch it.
No idea what the game is like.
Final Verdict: A decent anime with a well balanced cast, just wish there was a bit more sport in this sports anime.
From females to males, it took a while to narrow down but were finally ready to go.
Update: Shinji Ikari is forgiven. I'll tell you why later. Replaced by Cilan from Pokemon.
25. Cilan from Pokemon
His character makes no sense, you cannot use wine terminology to describe Pokemon nor make a career out of it. It's so monumentally stupid.
24. Minoru Mineta from My Hero Academia
I'm just going to say it straight, he looks like a walking toilet, remind me why this show is the talk of the anime world again?
23. Admiral Nelson Royale from One Piece
*shudders* God he's so unpleasant to look at, One Piece I normally praise for art, not here.
22. Zeno from Dragonball Super
Only Toriyama can make the most powerful being in the universe an annoying spoilt child.
21. Minato Sahashi from Sekirei
A harem protagonist who really needs a reality check on the situation, he just annoys me.
20. Sosuke Aizen from Bleach
He is someone who is likely still trolling long after being dead and buried, just no.
19. Chang Wufei from Gundam Wing
Pretty much the 90s equivalent of an edgy 90s twitter misogynist.
18. Happosai from Ranma 1/2
I never found his perverted shenanigans to be enjoyable, could've easily not been in Ranma and no one would miss him.
17. Oberon the Fairy King from Sword Art Online
Imprisoned thousands against their will and tried to force Asuna to be his Queen. Another one who got a satisfying beatdown, but it's because of this guy Kirito has been excused from this list.
16. Shinji Matou from Fate Series
Weak pathetic individual who thinks it's acceptable to abuse women. Got a very satisfying punishment.
15. Sakura Kusakabe from Clubbed to Death Dokuro-Chan
Made an eternal youth potion for women, all well and good except it keeps them at 12 years old, now it's creepy.
14. Saito Hiraga from Familiar of Zero
He's dumb enough to fall for Louise even after all the abuse he's taken from her, it showcases how utterly stupid harem protagonists can be.
13. Wolfram Von Bielefeld from Kyo Kara Maoh
He's the male equal to Louise from Familiar of Zero who is already a worst female character.
12. Shou Tucker from Full Metal Alchemist
A little too easy to put this one down, yes he's the worst human alive but he was written as such and served that purpose, nothing about him was written poorly. But yeah he's still deplorable for doing it
11. Garou from One Punch Man
I hate him. A needlessly complex villain that has already been defeated by Saitama, any build up to him being a proper villain has lost it's weight.
10. Negi Springfield from UQHolder
After what I found out, he's now on this list I'll spare his Negima persona but not his UQHolder one, his decisions ultimately undo everything he accomplished in Negima
9. Mokuba Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh
His role in the franchise was to be scrappy doo and to give Kaiba motivation he didn't really need. He can't even play a children's card game.
8. Seiji Noumi from Accel World
A bully who's sole purpose is to be obnoxious to the point of being punchable, yet he's not even threatening, anyone a foot taller could easily smash his face in.
7. Kamille Bidan from Gundam Zeta
All he had to do was not lose his temper and we could've had Char as a lead character, no were stuck with Mr Self Righteous emo kid who deserves all the slaps from Bright Noa and pretty much the rest of the cast.
6. Pain from Naruto
Thinking about, I can forgive Sasuke, yeah he's a piece of emo Shonen trash but Pain then brought it up to ten. Oh boy, Pain is a lost cause and one of Naruto's lowest points; I really don't miss the Edgelord trend and it was the tip of the iceberg not only having a character named Pain, have his motif as Pain but be painful to listen to. As for Sasuke consider yourself lucky that you grew up in Boruto.
5. Makoto Itou from School Days
The whole point of Makoto was to not let dating sims be reality because all you do is play with people's hearts and trample them when it doesn't satisfy you and Makoto was the perfect person to portray that but it did more damage to the harem genre than his contemporaries ever did.
4. Ramunes IV from Knights of Ramunes OVA
An ego maniac who abuses women on a regular basis, what's worst is that he's meant to be a hero, not to mention there's no explanation in why he became such a deplorable human being to begin with.
3. Chris Thorndyke from Sonic X
When we finally have a proper Sonic anime and you come along and ruined it by just existing, comes to something when every other cartoon and even the ova is better than what this series produced.
2. Alois Trancy from Black Butler
This ass hole ruined Black Butler, nothing more than a fanfiction writers miserable attempt at Ciel Phantomhive. He's an abusive, emotional black mailing little piss stain that didn't deserve to exist.
1. Koran Mori from Flame of Recca
Let's list all his terrible traits.
Kills people for giggles no matter what side.
Boring greedy corrupt business man.
Most hideous anime design in history.
He has no impact on the story until the end and even then the real final boss is arguably the one in control.
More than likely a rapist.
In an anime reliant on action he can't do squat.
Worst of all, he's the least interesting character from the series and is so forgettable that you'd forget he exists and he's meant to be the main villain, so he's not only the worst male character but easily the worst villain in anime.
Just been given a new perspective on this anime.
The year is After Colony 195 and the colonies of outer space send a number of Gundams to Earth to stop the United Earth Sphere Alliance after it forcibly took over a number of colonies. These five Gundams and their pilots become intertwined in a war that looks set to test their moral gray areas.
So it's standard Gundam practice but Gundam Wing holds the unique position of being the first Gundam for many and that's not a good thing. To view the classic Gundams after this is met with disappointment as it's no where near as good on the war narrative as they are but perhaps the boy band leads can shed a different approach.
Heero Yuy: Pretty much does what he's told but his path is skewed by his encounters with Relena who in turn discovers that she has more to do with this than she thought.
Duo Maxwell: At least he's cheerful and somewhat resourceful given that he involves himself with resourceful people including Hilde.
Trowa Barton: Doesn't really have a personality to begin with but then some how gets even less of a personality halfway through which Catherine protects with her waifu support.
Quatre Rabareba Winner: An emotional wet blanket who can't stop being angsty despite the fact that he's the only one backed up by his own army, this leads him to a confrontation with impressive eyebrows Dorothy which tests his beliefs against someone who loves war.
Chang Wufei: A misogynist with this weird back and forth code of being a warrior which leads to him being the actual rival of enemy Trieze. But his misogyny starts fading with his meetings with Sally.
Even the enemies have the same setup.
Zechs Marquise: Torn between his loyalty to Oz and his family's beliefs as he constantly finds himself on the wrong side although Noin is freely offering herself to him in support.
Trieze Krushranada: Definitely a magnificent bastard with a unique code of ethics, explains why he was so eager to fight honourable duels during conflicts. Lady Une acting as a devoted follower with two distinct personalities each wanting to be noticed by Senpai.
The point of this is that each male has problems and has a woman to confide in with Relena and Lady Une standing out as being more than waifus.
But what about the stuff you come to see, mecha battles, action and story?
The story spends the early part of the series using alot of stock footage, never really gets to the big parts until half way through the series, even when it does get to big moments it can easily be spoiled by angsty melodrama and finally the dub acting is dreadful; watch the subtitled only, it cuts alot of the issues it suffers from.
You may think I dislike it but that's not true, on it's own, it's a solid anime but having seen other Gundam series including series that both predate and follow Gundam Wing, it's hard not to see the flaws.
Final Verdict: it's not terrible nor is it mildly bad, it's actually decent but compared to other entries in the Gundam franchise it's only major selling point is that you have a pretty boys with problems boy band you can use for your terrible yaoi fanfics. And avoid the dub like the plague, it does the series no justice.
I'm actually surprised I haven't reviewed this, let's fix that.
Kae Serinuma is an overweight otaku obsessed with Yaoi, the sight of two men together excites her, but one night while watching her favourite anime, her favourite character is seemingly killed off, the devastation causes her to lock herself in her room for a week, refusing to eat or even move from her bed sheets. After her family finally get her to move she discovers that her body has shredded all it's weight making her look very attractive in the process, with her natural kindness and slimmer build, Kae quickly becomes the most popular girl in school attracting a harem of male students along with one female student, Kae's dilemma is only just beginning.
My standard rule of harems is always on the characters, here's how they rate.
Kae Serinuma - hilarious, kind and always fun to watch, she has way more personality than many other characters like her.
Yusuke Igarashi - Soccer club player who has a very plain nice guy personality, easily forgettable.
Nozomu Nanashima - A bad boy who is a bit of an ass hole, he resembles Kae's favourite character and was gay in another of author Junko's works.
Hayato Shinomiya - A tsundere who hates being treated like a girl for his less than masculine appearance, is also gay in another of author Junko's works.
Asuma Mutsumi - The only character who was already friends with Kae being in the same club and didn't change the way he spoke to Kae when she loses weight.
Shima Nishina - A fellow Otaku also obsessed with Yaoi who knew of Kae's interests through various connections.
Looking at that line up, there is one obvious candidate who is going to be picked which is Asuma, the other males lacking the personalities to hold any clout, this becomes more obvious when Shima joins the harem making it more and more obvious that Kae only sees the other males as yaoi bait, it's a nice twist to the formula that makes Kae an infinitely better harem protagonist than most of her peers.
While the anime does cop out of coming to a solid conclusion it never takes Kae out of character to do it.
Dub is fine but the sub is infinitely more expressive and funnier especially Kae's reaction to the weight loss in episode 1.
Final Verdict: A solid harem anime that takes advantage of it's bland male characters to avoid falling into the genre's obvious pitfalls.
So characters you point to and say, that's so relatable, whether it be life luck or just embodying certain traits you share, it's in these characters.
10. Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma 1/2
Ryoga can never catch a break, he's eternally the unluckiest character in Ranma 1/2 either constantly being turned into a little pig at the worse time or his horrid sense of direction sending him on an unintentional world tour.
Weeks of constantly being unlucky is something very easy to relate to and Ryoga is the one who embodies it.
9. Ruri Hoshino from Nadesico
There are plenty of characters who fit the bill of smartest person in the room but the majority are ass holes, Ruri isn't one of those, in fact she just wants to do her job in peace without idiots constantly annoying her, something my job never stops being at times.
8. Miss Kobayashi from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Kobayashi is the adult protagonist for the adult viewer, she plays the role of the straight woman so well it's hard not to put yourself in her position.
7. Saitama from One Punch Man
Eternally bored after becoming the most powerful being in the series, Saitama when not fighting lives a fairly normal single persons life, everything from just keeping an apartment running to this below.
6. Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara
You try and do a job but you get constantly pissed off by the presence of ass holes who always want to provoke, every punch from Shizuo is oh so satisfying.
5. Harima Kenji from School Rumble
The struggle to confess to the girl you like, the struggle to become a writer, the struggle to shake off a troubled reputation, Harima Kenji can't catch a break but we all root for him to succeed.
4. Nenene Sumerigawa from Read or Die
My dream was to always be a writer but even when trying for so long, I can easily channel Nenene of being soooo done with everything especially in a world surrounded by extraordinary people who make you feel more empty inside.
3. Ryo Kurakiba from Shokugeki no Soma
Ryo is two personalities, fiery when he's invested, tired and unmotivated when he's not, my mind can fire on all cylinders but after a long period of social interaction and trying, I just want to lie about for the next day.
2. Shikamaru Nara from Naruto
Shikamaru embodies the type of mantra that should be the most basic wants and needs of men. A reasonable job, a solid married life and a chilled existence is what Shikamaru always wanted and he's smart enough to achieve that on his own.
1. Kiyone Makibi from Tenchi Muyo
Everyone has been in this position at least once, you are stuck with that one particular friend who is to put it nicely stupid and said stupidity is the reason why you aren't progressing in your life, add another batch of chaos from the rest of the cast and you get Kiyone, someone who just wants to succeed but never can, the rare moments she does succeed, can be such a special moment of happiness that you grasp in your hands and keep for a long time.
