Pan Takes - July 2021
Welcome to the first of what may become a new series. There were many films that I watched in July that I wanted to review but the number was too high so instead I've decided on this format. I will do a series of quickfire reviews briefly breaking down each video and giving out an overall score at the end. Let me know if you guys enjoy this style and want to see more. Anyway, with that introduction out of the way let's begin with a new face to the industry that debuted this month in Alice Kisaki.
EBOD-836
"Aren't Just Boobs Enough?" Shy and Not Good at Talking, But She Came to Tokyo Wanting to Be an AV Actress"
Starring "Alice Kisaki"
I am normally not someone who bothers with debuts. It can be clumsy, awkward, and unsatisfying. Usually, I wait for a few releases before checking out a new actress but decided to jump in early with this one. Ultimately I came away pleasantly surprised. I don't think I need to explain the overall setup much, do I? It's a traditional debut style film. So you can expect some shyness and timidness for sure. But given it's her first time on camera it makes sense. I won't bother critiquing her performance too much for that reason. You can't be putting too much stock into their acting based on their debut. But what about physically? Does the film suffer from a case of cover bamboozle that E-Body is known for?
That answer is actually no not really. Her face may not quite match the cover but she's still not too bad looking. But in the bust department, she's just as big as the cover promises. They're some of the best-looking tits I've seen lately from a newer actress. And to top it all off she's got a real nice slender body with a slim waist to boot. This perfectly compliments her large chest. The action overall is good with several full sex scenes and even a blowjob scene where she takes a nice big facial. And the film features solid production values all around, no real complaints there. Everything from the pacing to the camerawork and to the lighting is excellent. EBOD-836 makes a great first impression for Alice with hopefully more to come.
Overall Score - 8.3/10
SSIS-111
"Beautiful Jiggling Breasts: The Lucky Break For The Tits Of A Godly, Beautiful Woman SP"
Starring "Aka Asuka"
I may be doing a future full-length comprehensive review of Aka down the line but for right now I'm going over her newest release which I was somewhat excited for. It's a favorite series of mine so naturally, I was hyped. But unfortunately, it didn't exactly deliver. Aka Asuka is put into various situations with her breasts exposed all the while random men can't help themselves. They of course fondle her and play with her tits all leading to some tittyfucking and eventually full-on sex. The range of scenarios here is hit-or-miss. Some are great and others are forgettable, like the last one. Making matters worse is Aka's mediocre acting. Maybe she's following in Rara's footsteps because as a fellow busty S1 actress, she's a very flat performer.
She may display more emotion at times than Rara but it's not really convincing. And she can get pretty whiny too. Now physically she is clearly stacked up top but honestly, the rest of her isn't too impressive. She's a bit flabby and nothing about her figure really stands out. Not even her face which at least Rara has that going for her. Maybe it's the short haircut that I don't like. Anyway, the action is serviceable but again kinda hit-or-miss. Such as the two paizuri scenes where one is forceful and lackluster as a result while the other where she's in control a bit is more satisfying. As a whole SSIS-111 is not very compelling at all. I wanna like her more but so far I'm not too impressed. Mainly due to her underwhelming performances.
Overall Score - 7/10
PPPD-946
"One Load Every Five Minutes: Full-Auto Limitless Load Soapland"
Starring "Yuria Yoshine"
I had very low expectations going into this as the cove seemed rather basic and Oppai has been quite lackluster this year. But ultimately I came away very pleasantly surprised. At it's core it features a pretty simple concept revolving around Yuria working at a soapland specializing in paizuri and multiple cumshots. Now anyone that knows me is aware that I loathe soapland videos but this one really impressed me. Now right off the bat, there are indeed lots of cumshots here. Are they all real? Certainly not as there are plenty of fake creampies. But the other cumshots look authentic. If not they at least look real enough. This leads me to the production values that are all top-notch.
The lighting in particular is excellent across the board. It's not too bright or harsh and helps to accent her lovely curves with soft shading. The pacing is pretty balanced too and her wardrobe consists of some nice sexy outfits. Her performance is a real standout here as it's one of the best I've ever seen from her. She's super engaging and expressive which is most apparent in her paizuri technique. I gotta say she's very good at it too. Maybe deserving of a paizuri report analysis. And the action all around is superb with plenty of tittyfucking of course and two full sex scenes. The fake cum may be a turn-off to some but it's not too egregious and the rest of the film more than makes up for it. The end result is one of her best films to date.
Overall Score - 8.8/10
BLK-504
"kira kira Exclusive SPECIAL! We Bring You Hyper Gal Babe Maria Nagai"
Starring "Maria Nagai"
This was by far one of my anticipated releases from this month. As a big Maria Nagai fan that cover sure is eye-catching. The premise here revolves around Maria meeting up with some lucky guys in their apartments. It puts Maria in the driver's seat so to speak as she takes control from a more dominant perspective which is a nice refreshing change of pace as we've never really seen her like this. I personally really enjoyed this plot. A big part of that reason is due to Maria's remarkable acting. I've always felt somewhat underwhelmed by her acting but here she delivers a very solid performance. She's very active and lively with engaging facial expressions. And seeing her take the lead in a dominant fashion is a welcomed treat.
Like in one scene where she pulls a crew member into the scene and jerks him off. Her wardrobe is stunning too with several sexy outfits that show off her ridiculous body. Now the action here is good but could have been better. There are 3 scenes in all consisting of two sex scenes and a blowjob/handjob scene. The sex scenes are great for the most part and even include some facesitting. The other scene is decent but goes on for way too long. In fact, all the scenes should have been trimmed down with less foreplay to make room for another scene. Also, the camerawork is a bit wonky at times with some very odd angles. So while it's not perfect, it's still one of her best videos of the year for sure.
Overall Score - 8.6
ONSG-039
"Big Tits Delivery"
Starring "Nina Nishimura"
Nina Nishimura is certainly an actress that I feel deserves more work. I understand her appeal is a bit more niche given her appearance and "size" but I really enjoy her. I thought she had retired so imagine my surprise when this popped up. In this film, Nina plays the part of a delivery health worker who indulges in some hotel booty calls with some lucky guys. It's a pretty simple concept but it works. It doesn't get in the way or bog down the action. So naturally, the entire focus falls mainly on the sex and it results in some pretty satisfying scenes. All in all, there are 3-4 scenes. Two are full sex scenes with the other two consisting of a tittyfuck and a masturbation-type scene.
Every scene here is enjoyable, even the masturbation scene that I normally loathe. It works due to some nice lighting and wardrobe choice. The paizuri scene is fantastic as it features two cumshots and some solid technique from Nina. The actual sex scenes themselves fare very well with splendid position variety and intensity. Now the final sex scene is a bit skewed as the runtime is very short compared to the rest of the scenes. As a result, the pacing is a little uneven. Thankfully everything else is great with nice natural lighting that is soft and accentuates Nina's curves. And her wardrobe is spot-on suiting her perfectly. Her performance isn't half bad either. She's not perfect but does have some bright moments. A really great video all around.
Overall Score - 8.8
SSIS-116
"From The Past To The Future: Now, Let's Lay It All Bare... The Ultimate Erotic Memorial 5 Full Fucks"
Starring "Yua Mikami"
When I first acquired this film and loaded it up I nearly fell out of my chair after seeing the four-hour runtime. The reason for its meaty length is that this film serves as a celebration of sorts for Yua's career. As the cover implies it features 5 scenes in total with interviews with Yua sparsed in-between. That right there is the cause of the long-winded runtime. Personally, I didn't care for that aspect. I can't understand any of it so it's entirely lost on me. I suppose with subtitles or being able to understand Japanese it would be more satisfying but alas that is not the case. And even then I'm not a mega Yua Mikami fanatic so I'm not too connected to the theme in general. But what about the actual substance of the film? Well, it fares pretty well.
Every scene is a full sex scene which is very nice. In addition, each one presents a slightly unique theme such as POV, body oil, and a threesome. They can still be slightly bloated with a little too much foreplay but that's just a personal gripe. I found her performance to be generally great. She seems rather lively here with decent enthusiasm, especially in the final sex scene. And besides, the pacing issues that I've touched upon earlier the production values are superb. The lighting is varied and suits each scene wonderfully. Her wardrobe is pretty simple but features some sexy lingerie. The final result is pretty good. The actual action and technical aspects are fantastic but I wasn't a fan of the general theme. Still worth a watch though.
Overall Score - 8/10
JYMA-012
"She Tempts Men With Her Voluptuous, Sexually Frustrated Body"
Starring "Shiori Tsukada"
It has been quite a while since I've watched any new Shiori Tsukada. She's fallen off my radar a bit but after seeing this new film, I'm back on board. The premise casts Shiori with the role of a sexually frustrated married woman living in an apartment building. She catches some of her male neighbors checking her out so she uses it as an opportunity to have some fun and fuck them. It's a really nice plot that gives Shiori something new to try out and the results are fantastic. It's so refreshing seeing her take on a somewhat more aggressive role than what she's used to. And the results are great as this is one of her best performances ever(although that's not saying much).
Her facial expressions are good, she's not too whiny, and she boasts solid enthusiasm. Plus, seeing her take control in most scenes is amazing. Just a really great job all around. Moving on, the action is superb with two sex scenes and two outercourse types scenes, one of which is shot in POV. The scenes are all well-paced and never drag on for too long. The position variety is great too capitalizing on positions showcasing her huge chest and booty. Her wardrobe certainly helps in that regard too with many nice outfits. There is a decent amount of fish-eye lens used here but I'm personally not bothered too much by it. All in all, this is an absolute must-watch for any avid fan of Shiori Tsukada. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Overall Score - 9/10
HMN-022
"Secretly Making Babies With My Girlfriend's Infatuated Sister"
Starring "Hana Himesaki"
If this isn't just the absolute most perfect role for Hana Himesaki then I don't know what is. She was born for this. The premise is your standard "seduced by my girlfriend's little sister" type plot. Hana mainly accomplishes this by whipping out her perky tits which are irresistible. I of course really love this theme and the film executes it pretty well. Many of the scenes incorporate an element of risk that greatly heightens the enjoyment of each one. Speaking of the scenes, the action as a whole is fantastic. There are several full sex scenes along with some blowjobs and paizuri. You can expect to see some fake creampies but personally, I wasn't that bothered by it. Unfortunately, it's become the norm these days.
The production values here are pretty good all around. The camerawork is a mix between POV and third-person which is a slight bummer as I wish it was entirely POV. But at the very least the third-person camerawork is handled well. Oh, and they use some fish-eye lens in one of the POV scenes which feels a bit unnecessary. The lighting is generally solid and the pacing is well balanced. But by far the best aspect is Hana's performance. She really knocks it out of the park. Her bubbly and cheerful personality is a perfect fit for this role. She's so fun to watch and very engaging overall. Hana is becoming one of the best performers of recent memory. A real shining star.
Overall Score - 9.1/10
LULU-080
"I Fucked My Big Titty Older Boss Until I Got Her Pregnant While The Two Of Us Were Alone After Work"
Starring "Hana Haruna"
For the longest time, I always ignored Hana Haruna. I didn't mind her body but her face was pretty rough. But she's been looking better lately especially with this new hair color so when I stumbled upon this OL release I had to check it out. The plot isn't anything too innovative with Hana playing an office boss who gets involved in a sexual relationship with one of her employees. The entire film centers around them having sex over and over in the office. It's simple but it gets the job done. One of my favorite aspects here is her wardrobe. She wears some very nice OL attire that makes for a great fit for her thick figure. And overall Hana looks terrific.
She's certainly pretty chubby here so she's not gonna appeal to everyone but if you like your actresses thick then she's right up your alley. I personally still don't like her face much but I do appreciate her body. The action all around is great although there's a little much use of fake creampies for my liking. Beyond that, there's minimal filler and plenty of sex scenes featured lots of clothed sex which is nice. Her performance I felt was just alright. She had some decent moments here and there but nothing that blew me away. The rest of the production values fair nicely with no real glaring flaws. I still can't say I'm fully onboard with Hana Haruna but at least now I'll keep my out for any enticing new releases. A good watch all in all.
Overall Score - 8.3/10
Comments
Pan's a huge Kaori fan too and I'd be a little surprised if he's never seen it. If not it's a good video and certainly worth checking out.
Hmm I haven't seen that one actually. I think I glossed over it at the time because I wasn't into Hana Haruna then. I'll check it out now though, thanks!
