Panking's 2024 JAV Retrospective: Top 10 Worst Videos of 2024

2024 gave us some pretty great videos for sure but also some flat-out terrible ones too. There are many reasons these films land on my list. It can be attributed to a terrible setup, awful production values, lackluster performances, horrible action, or something in between. Some of these suffer from nearly everything. Anyway, I'll be counting down my list starting with the least egregious to the absolute worst at number one. Without further ado, let's kick this off with a slightly surprising pick in one of my current favorite actresses at the moment.

S1 really has a way of twisting your most wanted film ideas. I was craving a teacher role for Momoka and S1 granted my wish...with the worst execution possible. The setup indeed casts Momoka as a busty teacher who gets fondled and fucked by her students against her will leading to her getting gangbanged in the final scene. I'm not a fan of these more forceful and darker themes so I was immediately turned off. Her submissive performance isn't terrible at least but it's still not a pleasant watch overall. I will say I do like that last gangbang scene in that we get to see the guys all glazing her tits in cum which makes for a great sight. There's just one problem. That scene is the only time you get to see her chest in full.

One of the worst aspects of the entire film is that you barely get any good glimpses of her figure at all. She spends 3 out of 4 scenes fully clothed with just some slight rips and tears. There's a few decent shots of her ass in the pantyhose but that's it. The action at least isn't too bad consisting of three sex scenes and a paizuri scene. If nothing else I appreciate that every cumshot appeared real especially with the last scene. But that's about it for any slight positives here. Her performance is entirely submissive and not too impressive at that. The lighting is okay at best but the pacing is too dragged out in some spots such as in the second sex scene. It's not a complete trainwreck as there are a few minimal enjoyable parts but otherwise, it's a swing and a miss.

On paper, this should've been a slam dunk. A POV video centering around Yu Tano and paizuri? What could go wrong? Well, unfortunately, the execution is way off. The premise is promising enough with it focusing on JOI and tittyfucking all while shot entirely in POV. Sounds good so far. However, the production values really kill any potential this film has. There are several issues but the most prominent one has to be the lighting. Not only is it overly bright, but it's the damn same for every scene barring a few minor adjustments. It makes each scene look exactly the same which isn't helped by the equally dull settings.

This issue is further worsened by the fact that every scene focuses so much on tittyfucking that all the scenes just kinda blend together. The POV camerawork is fine at best but suffers from some impossible angles that break the immersion and overt use of fisheye lens which feels pretty unnecessary. Some of the paizuri and sex scenes are decent and her performance is solid enough. But even then the action still isn't that amazing. One of the paizuri scenes uses this goopy lotion which ruins it completely while another scene is just her tittyfucking a dildo. It's so frustrating because this was a golden recipe for success and S1 just fumbled the bag extremely hard.

Marina Yuzuki is a bit of a frustrating actress for me. I want to like her more but her mediocre acting and boobs leave me feeling mixed more often than not. This particular label can be pretty hit-or-miss but in this case, it's way off the mark. It's a vanilla film with no real plot to speak of. Instead, it mainly centers around intense stimulation on her part. That's not inherently bad per se but the overall execution is where the wheels begin to come off the track. One thing that really irritates me is the choice of outfit in the last scene(as highlighted in the right screenshot below). It ends up creating a massive gap between her chest which looks very unappealing. It ruins the scene for me honestly especially when combined with other factors.

That being how rough the actors can be with placing their hands around her neck. It's not my thing at all. In general, I wasn't a fan of her overall submissive stance. It doesn't help that she's already a mediocre performer and can get rather whiny. Another aspect that wasn't too impressive is the action. I will say the first sex scene isn't too bad and provides some solid enjoyment. But the first scene for example is a complete joke with her riding a dildo and playing with herself while getting doused with lotion/fake cum. Then we get a dragged-out masturbation scene where a bunch of guys use vibrators on her. Top it all off with 100% fake cumshots and you've got a major dud. The first sex scene is passable but everything else is terrible.

This film isn't the worst offender on my list but it suffers from a few incredibly puzzling decisions that end up ruining the entire experience. Now I won't lie, I really have no idea what the premise is here. She seems to play a "random" girl who gets picked up in the park and is offered some form of payment to have sex. The setup isn't that important honestly. This film isn't a complete disaster mind you. Noa does look pretty nice making for some great eyecandy along with sporting a sexy maid-esque outfit in the final scene. The lighting isn't too shabby either. So you may be asking "What's the problem then?". The first issue is that the first hour of this film is just terrible.

It first starts off with an interview with her inside this warehouse where she's then made to touch this guy's dick and make him cum. Then it's a blowjob scene while she wears a mask the entire time...WHY?? It's so pointless and we can't see a damn thing. It's then followed up by two sex scenes which aren't bad in their own right but are marred by my biggest nitpick with the film. That first half-hour of the film is shot in portrait mode which is just dumb while the second sex scene is shot in split-screen with the interview portion from the start sharing about 1/4 of the screen. I can sorta understand the mindset of showing her before and after as she's getting railed but it's so annoying. This could've been a decent watch but these frustrating issues drag it down. It's just not worth it.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of anal when it comes to JAV. There's several reasons for that and this film hits on every negative aspect resulting in what is easily one of the worst films of the year. The plot centers around a guy who sneaks into Yuria's house and ends up having anal sex with her. We then see him being a little rough with her while using an array of toys before he invites a friend over for a threesome. So right off the bat, I don't care for these darker themes and forceful sex. Anal can already be rough as it is no need to make it even more unbearable. It's something I always hate about the anal genre.

This one really leans into the rougher nature with some enema play and a bit involving water that I won't go into detail with. That leads me to another issue I always have with anal films which is the excessive butthole play. There's about an hour dedicated to just using fingering her from behind and using toys on her ass. It's not engaging or compelling to watch at all especially when she's whining the entire time. The second sex does feature some DP action but it's quite minimal and hard to enjoy with her submissive nature and the terrible pacing. The scene is over an hour long which is completely unnecessary. Not to mention the lighting is drab, the settings are dull, and her appearance isn't anything noteworthy at all. It's just not a pleasant watch at all.

Mei Washio's career with S1 has been stuck in the mud for quite a while. It feels like nearly all of her latest releases are just vanilla and centered around her chest with minor variances here and there. This film presents a unique wrinkle but it's quite possibly the dumbest decision S1 has made recent memory. The setup casts Mei as a naive gal from the countryside with the dream of becoming a gravure idol. However, she signs a cunningly crafted contract that allows for anything, including sex. As a result, she ends up getting fucked by the photographers several times over. There is one catch though. One minor stipulation in the contract that allows her nipples to be covered.

That right there is why this film lands on my worst-of-the-year list. She spends the ENTIRE film with her best aspect, her nips, completely concealed. This is accomplished via both pasties and wearing a bra. It's just so ridiculously stupid and whoever decided on this should be immediately fired. Now the quality of the film isn't horrible but it's far from great. The lighting is okay at best and the action has its moments but her submissive performance makes for an uncompelling watch. I understand she's playing her role but even she's very lackluster from all angles. Even without the asinine decision to cover her nipples, this would still be a lousy watch. But with that aspect in mind, it transcends into one of S1's lamest outings ever.

I was so excited for this video prior to its release. Just look at that cover! And with such a promising premise how could it go wrong? Well...in many ways sadly. The entire theme of the video revolves around tittyfucking and having the three showcase and explain their technique. It's a fine setup but the execution is pitiful. For starters, the runtime is over 3 hours long making for a really drawn-out watch. It doesn't help that the first scene is extremely dull with it featuring each actress separately as she gets interviewed about her technique and then demonstrates onto an actor. It takes up an hour of the runtime and I get that it's the focus of the film but as someone who doesn't understand the language, most of the enjoyment is lost. It's made worse by the awful production values in the scene. The lighting is really washed out for 2/3 of it with some terrible angles most notably in Nene's bit thanks to some reverse fisheye lens that ends up giving showing off more of the guy's chest than hers.

Beyond that, there are two group sex scenes and two more paizuri scenes with one featuring a focus on hands-free tittyfucking which is nice I guess. But the sex scenes are average at best in the long run and really don't do anything memorable. One uses a soapland theme so you know my thoughts on that already. The other paizuri scenes are rather middling as well. The cumshots are real at least but the loads are pathetically weak. There's also zero interaction between the cast whatsoever, which I expected but just a little bit would've been nice. And on a more personal note, I really don't care for Monami at all. She's by far the weakest performer here thanks to her middling enthusiasm and dull facial expressions making you feel like she's just phoning it in. MIRD-240 is so frustrating because it really could've been something great. But there's just nothing worth watching here. A rare massive fumble from Moodyz.

Misono Mizuhara is one of my favorite actresses but her 2024 output was not only sporadic but also middling. So whenever we got a proper solo release, it was an exciting time. Imagine my frustration when we were lucky enough to get a new release to whet our appetite and it ended up being this miserable video. Here she plays a married woman who returns back to town. An old man from the neighborhood gets jealous and decides to steal her away and turn her into his personal sex pet. It's not a very uplifting theme to say the least as we her restrained, tied up, and made to eat/drink from a doggie bowl. The plot is a major miss for me but it gets even worse. One look at the cover should tell you my main issue with the film. I cannot stand the use of ropes.

Seeing an actress all tied up, tits and all, is just not appealing to me at all. It's a huge turnoff. The ropes get loosened up a bit in the last scene at least but for the first half, she's completely restricted and can't move at all. It results in the first few scenes being rather unwatchable. Even then, the action really isn't that great. There are two sex scenes but as I said, the first one isn't that great. Then there's a lousy toying scene where she's still restrained...very engaging. Top it off with a tittyfuck where she can't move and end it with a fake cumshot. Not to mention the lighting is pretty samey across the entire film. It's not only a terrible film but also stings worse when this was the only solo release we got from her for several months. This one belongs in the trash.

Rocket can be pretty hit-or-miss when it comes to their themes and wacky ideas. Sometimes they cook up a five-star meal and other times, they fall flat on their face. There's no doubt where this one lands. The setup admittedly has some potential to be entertaining but it goes nowhere with it. It revolves around a battle of the asses pretty much that pits the three actresses against each to determine whose the best. This is achieved through a couple of different events. So right off the bat, this video tries to be more entertaining than it does provide actual "fappability". But even then it fails pretty hard. The first scene is a series of assjobs with each scene actress to see who can make their guy cum the fastest.

Not bad sounding on paper but it's ruined by the fake cumshots which don't look convincing at all. Then you have what is easily not only the worst scene of the video but one of the dumbest scenes I've seen in recent memory. It's a 45-minute scene featuring the trio behind a wall with their asses hanging out while several guys fondle them. That's it. It's so utterly pointless and doesn't even contribute anything to the actual game at hand. The last scene just consists of them wrestling each other while oiled up and naked. While it's not horrible it wears out it's welcome rather quickly. This all leads to my biggest issue which is that there are zero sex scenes whatsoever and barely any real action to speak of. It's not even that entertaining. Talk about a complete waste of time.

We've now arrived at my pick for the single worst video of 2024. I really didn't have much of an issue narrowing it down. I absolutely loathe this label and can't stand it. It may have its fans but I am not one of those. The premise is simple enough as it centers completely around the concept of JOI(jerk-off instructions) and dirty talk. It's not an inherently bad theme until you watch the video and realize the execution is terrible. There's just nothing to it making it as shallow as a damn puddle. The only slight positive I can say is that Mina sports a few sexy outfits that look nice such as some fishnets. But that's it as the rest of the film is just awful. The biggest issue by far is that there just isn't much to see here at all.

It features just one sex scene for the most part which isn't until the very end and utilizes a single position with only a handful of camera angles. The rest of the video focuses on her playing with herself or being toyed with by the actor via a vibrator. Sometimes not even that as one scene just has her on her back while a guy lightly rubs her pussy over her panties. Then we have the first scene which is just her gyrating her hips in front of the camera(front and back) for over 20 minutes. It feels like this film was shot on a budget of 50 bucks or something. It's insultingly cheap, low effort, and provides no substance whatsoever. Sure some of the poses are nice but who cares when it doesn't lead anywhere. This series needs to be shelved immediately.
