Shorts Purge


Kandagawa Jet Girls was expected to be an all-female spiritual successor to Nintendo's Wave Race series, given that it was a jet ski racing anime. However, outside of the jet ski races, Kandagawa Jet Girls contains some "Not Safe For Work" scenes. What's more, Kandagawa Jet Girls is basically Wave Race with laser tag and removable wetsuits. For example, Misa's shorts got shot, and "disengaged," exposing her swimwear bottoms. The commentators call this term "suit purge." Such elements were never featured in any of the Wave Race games, which leaves the Wave Race fanbase puzzled if they did watch Kandagawa Jet Girls. And that's excluding the "Not Safe For Work" scenes outside the jet ski races.

In other words, Kandagawa Jet Girls might just be the spiritual successor to the Wave Race series that the Wave Race fanbase needs, if it were not for the "Not Safe For Work" scenes.
