Pan Takes - January 2022

Published : February 7th, 2022 Written by Panking

2022 has started off quite strong already. Right off the bat in January, we saw several notable releases such as Wanz Factory's adaptation of the doujinshi "How to Steal a Japanese Wife" and a brilliant femdom film from Nao. It only got better from that point onward. In fact, there were so many noteworthy new films that I had to make a second edition of Pan Takes to cover all of them which will be out next week. Now without further ado, let's dive in!


WAAA-135

"A Live-action Version Of A Black Man's NTR"

There was a fair bit of buzz behind this one upon release. And I'm happy to report it lives up to expectations. The film is based entirely on a doujinshi titled "How to Steal a Japanese Wife" which features an NTR plot. Yuria plays a married woman whose husband brings home a black exchange student. He makes some moves on her and ultimately she gives in. The two share an ongoing sexual relationship for the rest of the film while keeping it from her husband. It's a faithful adaption of the doujinshi and it's executed very well. A huge part of this film's success is the stellar action. In all, there are about 5 scenes and each one is a full sex scene. The action boasts a nice intensity and features a great position variety.

There's even a nice risky sex scene of the two going at it behind the kitchen counter with the husband nearby. One issue though is that nearly all the cumshots are fake. It's not a dealbreaker but it's a bummer for sure. The production values are solid across the board with adequate lighting, terrific pacing, and fantastic camerawork capturing some nice close-ups and wide-angle shots. Yuria's performance is pretty decent as well. She does a fine job at playing the sexually frustrated housewife and boasts good energy. She can get pretty whiny during the sex though. Also worth mentioning is her appearance as she is a perfect fit for this character and looks appropriately mature. All around it's a satisfying adaptation that delivers on all fronts.

Overall Rating - 9/10


BLK-546

"The Woman Who Sucked Too Much From The Glands To The Asshole"

This film boasts quite an interesting title right? Well, don't worry too much about it as the general focus here revolves entirely around blowjobs. There's of course a few sex scenes naturally but the majority of the attention centers on her sucking dick. That's really about it. Honestly, I didn't care too much for this film sadly. The general concept and its execution(more on that later) is very basic and drab. The action isn't really too compelling. It consists of two sex scenes and two blowjob scenes. One of the blowjob scenes does feature a nice facial at the end but other than that it's rather forgettable. The sex scenes are fine but nothing too memorable.

The biggest problem with this film lies in its production values. As a whole, this film feels pretty cheap. Starting with the setting variety of which there is only one. Every single scene takes place inside the same exact hotel room. On top of that, they all feature identical lighting which only makes this issue even worse. The camerawork also leaves something to be desired. There is some serious camera distortion here along the lines of heavy fisheye use. I normally don't mind it but they went way overboard with it. All this really drags the film down. I will say that Maria delivers a good performance at least. But that alone isn't enough to salvage this film. Even if you like blowjobs, I'd advise you to look elsewhere.

Overall Rating - 6/10


MIAA-557

"I'm Her Homeroom Teacher, But She Toys With Me, And Makes Me Ejaculate 10 Times A Day"

What could be better than a busty schoolgirl? How about two for the price of one? The premise centers around the pair seducing their teacher and draining him of multiple loads in a row. It's a simple but effective setup that delivers on every front starting with the fantastic action. Within its two-and-a-half-hour runtime, it features three full sex scenes and a paizuri scene. All of these feature the pair together which is a huge plus. They each get an equal amount of spotlight in the threesome sex scenes as well helping to make for some very satisfying scenes. The paizuri segments are solid and the cumshots are actually pretty decent too. The sex scenes can be a bit too formulaic though following the same beat every time.

Now all this would be for nothing if not for some great acting and for the most part, they deliver here. They each boast nice enthusiasm and share good chemistry together. It's a bummer that there's no real meaningful interaction between them but it's not too shocking. Their acting certainly helps to enhance the scenes overall. And lastly, the production values are superb. The setting variety is excellent with each scene featuring a different location helping to ensure the film doesn't feel too samey which would be easy with a basic plot like this. The wardrobe is also on point with many sexy schoolgirl uniforms. MIAA-557 delivers some top-notch eye-candy and super fun threesome action sure to please any avid oppai lover.

Overall Rating - 8.7/10


PRED-368

"It's Forbidden To Do The Real Thing, But... The Girl Secretly Asks For A Nakadashi! Unlimited Firing, Reverse Bunny Sex"

Not wanting to be left out Karen Yuzuriha has jumped onboard the reverse bunnygirl suit trend. Is this one worth a ride or just another one to add to the forgettable pile? The plot here centers around Karen playing a range of sex worker roles such as a hostess and a soapland girl. All this while sporting a different reverse bunnysuit outfit every time. It's a simple enough setup, nothing too crazy. We all just wanna enjoy some good action which this film has in spades as it boasts five scenes in all. Each one is a full sex scene although one is very brief. They all fare pretty nicely with solid cumshots and good position variety. One of them is even shot in POV which is a treat.

Technically the film is pretty well produced starting with the settings. Every scene utilizes a different location that serves its theme and helps to ensure things don't get too stale. Bolstering that is her wardrobe variety which is another big highlight. All the bunnygirl outfits here look terrific and suit her wonderfully. The lighting is generally well-executed matching the tone and aesthetic of each scene. And lastly, the pacing is superb as every scene is evenly balanced in runtime. I can't forget to mention her splendid performance. While I can't say I was blown away by her acting here, she does boast solid energy all around. PRED-368 is easily one of the better entries in this reverse bunnygirl genre. It easily checks all the boxes.

Overall Rating - 9/10


MIAA-552

"Big Ass And Big Tits Lascivious Men's Esthetician"

My expectations were pretty mild for this one as this theme can be rather dull and forgettable. I was pleasantly surprised though as it's pretty enjoyable overall. The premise is centered around Mina playing a seductive masseuse who specializes in multiple orgasms leading to some very happy endings. It's nothing too memorable but it gets the job done at least. The best aspect of this film has to be Mina's impeccable performance. Her sheer enthusiasm is off the charts on top of being incredibly expressive. She really makes each scene a blast to watch and very entertaining. Mina is quickly making a name for herself as one of the better performers in JAV right now.

The action overall is mostly pretty good. It features a two-hour runtime boasting five scenes in all. Each one is a sex scene however in several instances it's very brief with the rest boiling down to just handjobs. Mina's performance does help to make it more engaging but it still wears a bit thin after a while. One scene does incorporate POV which is nice at least. And with this being a Moodyz production you can expect solid technical aspects all around. Especially the pacing as each scene is very balanced and doesn't drag on as it's easy to do with this type of video. MIAA-552 proves to be one of the best massage-themed films I've seen in a while mainly thanks to Mina's brilliant acting. I definitely recommend it to any fans of the genre.

Overall Rating - 8.8/10


EBOD-889

"Suddenly Mcup X Jcup Reverse Nan, Super Tits Monster Lascivious Woman's Flesh Sandwich Harem"

I was pretty hyped to check this one out. It stars two of my favorite busty actresses together making for a great pair. However, the execution here is downright tragic. The premise itself is terrific as it tasks the duo here with picking up "random" men and having their way with them. I always love the reverse pick-up genre as it's nice to see the actresses get to be pro-active and take the lead. And to be fair, their performances are actually pretty solid. They share some nice chemistry together and boast good enthusiasm. The action is fine but nothing too great consisting of two threesome sex scenes and two handjob scenes that are really forgettable for the most part. Now, where this film really falls apart is in its production values.

For starters, the pacing is horrible it's very dragged out and moves at a snail's pace. The settings are terrible and very confined such as taking place inside a parked van. This leads to some awful camerawork consisting of static shots, shots that are way too close, or just from wonky angles. And the lighting is pretty amateurish across the board. These abysmal technical aspects made sense after I saw who directed it, "Samoari". This guy loves to shoehorn in nipple play everywhere he can on top of not knowing how to direct a film whatsoever. The sooner this guy leaves the industry the better as he's easily the worst director I've ever seen. 2022 has just started and we already got a worst-of-the-year contender. What a disappointment.

Overall Rating - 5.5/10


BLK-549

"My Lady Boss Is A Former Gal, And She's Using Her Titties To Put Me To Shame!"

These 3P films have been rather hit-or-miss lately so with this one I came in with tempered expectations. But thankfully, it was a pleasant surprise. The plot centers around the lovely pair here playing female office bosses who love to tease, seduce and ultimately fuck a male employee of theirs. As you'd expect it leans quite heavily into the femdom genre but nothing too hardcore. A defining nature is that the actor here virtually does very little while the actresses do everything. It's a nice premise combining both femdom and OL. It's further enhanced by the pair's electric performances. The raw enthusiasm from them is incredible and they take control with ease in every scene.

It's honestly some of the best energy from a duo video that I've seen in recent memory. Not to mention they vibe with each other quite well. Now one aspect that leaves a little to be desired is the action. In all, there are two sex scenes and two paizuri scenes. The unfortunate aspect is that the two paizuri scenes happen at the start and as a result, there's no real sex until over an hour in. In that regard, the pacing could've been constructed better. The rest of the production values are solid at least. The settings are all varied enough and the wardrobe selection is super sexy with some nice OL attire. You will absolutely not be disappointed with this one. BLK-549 is a truly memorable and fun ride that proves to be a top-notch 3P film.

Overall Rating - 9/10


MIAA-568

"I'll Lick And Suck Your Dirty, Filthy Body" A Crude And Vulgar Snake-Tongued Beauty Is Cumming! Sudden Homeless Reverse Pick Up Action"

This is by far one of the wildest videos that I've seen in years and honestly feels like a vintage Moodyz era film. The plot centers around Honoka visiting some homeless guys in little shanty houses and fucks them or gives them a blowjob/tittyfuck. However, there is a big focus on licking so expect to see her lick EVERY part of the guy's body. The locations and actors look very authentic I must say. I realized it's still probably staged, but damn it feels genuine at times. It can get rather gross too when she licks the dirt off the guy's feet or eats his "dick cheese". She even swallows cum from a used condom. I still can't believe this is from Moodyz in this day and age. Gotta give Moodyz credit for such a wild concept and Honoka for taking it head-on.

One thing I'm personally torn on here is her appearance.  She wears some sexy dresses for sure but her boobs leave me feeling hot and cold at times. Sometimes they look great and other times, not at all. That aside, the production values are fantastic with great authentic settings and nice camerawork. The pacing can be a bit slow at times due to all the licking though. The action is a little lackluster for sure with two sex scenes and the rest being forgettable blowjobs and handjobs. Her performance does help alleviate that in a way. Honoka is such a trooper for never backing down or showing any real visible signs of disgust. If nothing else it's a very intriguing film that makes for a super memorable watch.

Overall Rating - 8.3/10


PPPD-997

"Convenient And Slutty I-cup, She'll Let You Fuck Her Whenever You Call Her."

Akame was certainly an appealing debut from last month. She bears many similarities to Maria Nagai with all her "enhancements". Here we have her second new release which turns out to be pretty enjoyable. The general setup is straightforward with Akami playing a call girl of sorts having sex with a single client throughout the entire film. It's simple which is exactly what you expect from a recent debut. Now let's get into the action as it fares very well here. It consists of four scenes all together featuring three sex scenes and an outercourse type scene. The sex itself is generally quite nice. There's a mix of POV shots thrown in and the last sex scene is a threesome. And the outercourse scene contains some nice thighfucking and tittyfucking.

When it comes to the production values, it's a little mixed. The pacing for example is definitely bloated. The third sex scene alone features over 20 minutes of dull foreplay. All this could have easily been condensed down. The setting variety is lacking too as two sex scenes take place in the exact same room. They at least vary the lighting up which certainly helps but it's still a minor letdown. On the plus side, the camerawork does a fine job at capturing some real nice shots of all her standout features. Akame makes for some juicy eyecandy here sure to please any avid fan. And overall her performance is serviceable enough, nothing too memorable though. PPPD-997 builds off of Akame's solid debut making for a satisfying good time.

Overall Rating - 8.5/10


MIDV-028

"Beautiful Female Boss's Vulgar Anal Development, Female M-man Training Suite"

Nao Jinguji and femdom make for a wonderful combination. That notion rings true with this incredible film here. The concept is super simple as it revolves around Nao having some fun with a few guys in a hotel room setting. The "fun" centers around anal play, pegging, and a big focus on femdom-style action as a whole. I'll just say it right now, this is one of the best femdom films I've seen in years. Part of that is due to Nao's flawless acting. Her facial expressions and raw enthusiasm are just incredible. She takes control with extreme ease and in a convincing fashion. While the action may slow down at times, Nao keeps you engaged through her constant energetic performance.

The action is just as good too. The film features a runtime of 3 hours and 15 minutes spread across five scenes. There's a nice variety here with a mix of full-on sex, pegging, anal toying, handjobs, blowjobs, and some facesitting. Some of the anal play can drag a bit but other than that it's all terrific. Most notable is the position variety which is superb and helps to keep things fresh. And the production values fare pretty well despite a few minor issues. The film is a little bloated with some slow pacing at times and the setting variety wears thin at times especially near the end. However, the lighting is great and the camerawork is expertly handled. All this makes for one hell of a ride and a super entertaining watch. Nao knocks it out of the park here.

Overall Rating - 9.1/10

With Japan now open again to tourism, one of the first items on my list of "things to do in Japan" was to go to a JAV fan event! I met Rose Kato and it was also her first fan event despite debuting in March 2022. How could I not go to her first fan event!
