The Perverted Box Guessing Game
with English Subtitles

To those who do read our reviews, but prefer we remain on focus by just talking about the update itself, I do need to apologize now.  An epic affair like today's update requires a brief history lesson that shall begin...now.

Weird JAV has been a thing since the 1980's.  The first maker of the types of movies that would raise eyebrows--the types that involve abnormal fetishes, game shows, bizarre storylines, and more--is said to be V&R PLANNING.  Before a decent amount of our audience was even alive, Kaoru Adachi was already filming the cornerstones of bizarre Japanese AV and things only got better as the 80's became the 90's.

Nowadays, Kaoru Adachi still actively shoots for V&R PLANNING, but his tastes may be a bit too out there for us to show.  Even amongst his peers, this became apparent way back in the early 2000's.

Late 2004 saw the creation of V&R PRODUCTS, an offshoot of V&R PLANNING that saw distribution by Soft on Demand (they left SOD around 2013, renamed to V&R PRODUCE and now are distributed by Top Marshal though that's a tale for another day).  V&R PRODUCTS was seen as the slightly more mainstream version of V&R PLANNING; the parent company is the same and many of the people behind the titles were the same as well.  Early PRODUCTS titles may look awfully similar to ROCKET and believe it or not, this is NOT a coincidence.  The reason:  a good chunk of the original batch of directors at V&R PRODUCTS are the same ones that left the company in 2008 to form ROCKET.

The reason for leaving was a desire to make V&R PRODUCTS totally independent from V&R PLANNING.  Obviously, this didn't go down well and I can't comment much beyond that.  The good news is today both studios remain active so we're getting two batches of fantastic content instead of just one.

Now, as I've noted in too many reviews to count, the golden age of JAV is seen as the early-to-mid 2000's.  This is when titles had the largest budgets and the largest casts.  Sure, you may see studios go big during award season, but aside from that, it's becoming increasingly rare to see something like today's update, THE PERVERTED BOX GUESSING GAME.  After perusing V&R's back catalog, I noticed each and every month early on featured these huge cast titles in droves and many were shot by the famous directors that put ROCKET on the map.  What you're getting are slick super bizarre JAV titles shot by the best during an era when money to make one's dreams a reality flowed like rain during a typhoon.

We're going to be showing quite a few updates (20+, if not more) from this era of V&R PRODUCTS along with regular updates from after they rebranded as PRODUCE.  Yes, these are older and yes, they are NOT in HD.  They make up for that with fantastic storylines, bigger than average casts, and slick production values.  We already showed one a few months ago about stopping the time though that one was shot in the tail-end of the PRODUCTS era--some say a few years past the Golden Age of JAV.  Today with THE PERVERTED BOX GUESSING GAME, we're showing off a movie shot by the best during the peak of Japanese AV insanity.

With history out of the way, I'll say a few words now about today's absolutely must-watch update:  you must watch it.

More words:  THE PERVERTED BOX GUESSING GAME features the most ingenious set pieces I've ever seen in a JAV title.  Filmed in that lovely gigantic high ceiling studio that may or may not be used anymore, this 100 minute game show title features over a dozen semi-amateurs taking part in a very bizarre reverse glory hole challenge.  Each has her head sticking out of a box and headphones on blaring music so all she has to go by is touch.  The goal:  guess the place beneath her.  Guess right?  Big money award.  Guess wrong?  Sexual penalty game.

I'm amazed at how all-out V&R went with the mini-sets.  This is far from low budget.  This is an example of production members working overtime to produce some insanely believable locations in cramped locations.  They made a sushi restaurant!  Complete with actual fish!  They made a bathhouse with water!  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Before writing this, I perused a huge 3-letter Japanese VOD site and the reviews for this title and its sequel (yes, we'll be showing it) were not kind.  Most wanted to see more sex and sure, that isn't necessarily a bad thing, but my mouth was nearly unhinged in awe just watching the pure insanity of each challenge unfold.  Perhaps this isn't the type of movie you'd watch from start to finish in a state of arousal, but its uniqueness is nonpareil.

Note:  V&R requires all titles licensed out to third-parties like ZENRA to retain their small and nearly transparent watermark in the top right corner of the screen.  Thus we apologize for the footage containing both their logo along with ours in the bottom right.  If you find recently released movies by V&R on websites without their watermark, then consider reporting the web addresses to them.
