Pan Takes - April 2022 Volume 2
We got a pretty wide variety within this edition of Pan Takes. You can expect everything from big booty schoolgirls and housemaids to slutty bartenders and even sexy escaped convicts. A few of these were a bit of a letdown but thankfully most of them proved to be pretty satisfying. So settle in and enjoy as I take a quick rundown through ten of my handpicked most notable new releases.

"Fucking Cheeky Sluts In Black Tights. You Can Be Overcome By A Footjob Running Up And Down Your Cock And Cum Everywhere!"
I never watched Mitsuki before but a collab with Ichika had me enticed. But to be honest, after watching this one I'm still not too crazy about her. The premise here features these two playing lewd schoolgirls who love to tease their teachers and other faculty members. Much of this revolves around the use of pantyhose and footjobs. Can't say I'm much of a footjob fan but the pantyhose focus was nice and led to some enjoyable thighfucking at least. Sadly I must say that the action was a letdown overall. It consists of two sex scenes with the rest being a mix of footjobs, assjobs, and thighfucking. It's tough because the sex scenes are enjoyable but some of the footjob and assjob stuff drags on for too long and isn't all that satisfying.
Some of the cumshots are fake for those scenes as well so it really hampers the enjoyment. Performance-wise both actresses do a terrific job. They're pretty convincing at playing perverted schoolgirls and boast great energy throughout. They seem to share good chemistry together too. The production values as a whole are also mixed as the lighting has some issues with being a bit too bright in several scenes for my liking. In addition, the pacing can be a little slow at times. Faring much better is their wardrobe as it's full of nice schoolgirl uniforms and pantyhose. In the end, I think your enjoyment will differ depending on your feelings towards footjobs and Mitsuki. I'm not a fan of either so as a result, I was lukewarm about this one.

"Seduced By My Girlfriend's Busty Stepsister"
Alice Otsu has been rolling lately and her starring in a GES entry sounded like a home run. I'm happy to report that her entry was pretty amazing. The premise is like all other entries with Alice successfully stealing away her stepsister's boyfriend by showing off her cleavage and flashing her chest. This leads to them having risky sex all over the house as per usual. I will say that I think the risk factor was a little light here and could've been implemented more in a few of the scenes. There is still some risk of course such as when she tittyfucks him in bed with his girlfriend or sucking his dick in the dining room while the sister is in the kitchen. Another critical aspect of any GES entry is acting and Alice delivers a superb performance overall.
Her enthusiasm and facial expressions are exactly what you want to see in a film like this. She exudes a nice slutty vibe and is relentless. Not to mention looking pretty damn good while doing so. The action is good featuring two sex scenes, two paizuri scenes, and a blowjob scene. Fantastic balance all around. There are quite a few fake cumshots here but at least they look somewhat realistic. Also, I gotta point out that Alice is a super soaker squirter. She's like a geyser at some points. Lastly, the production values are fine with no real glaring issues. The wardrobe variety is great along with excellent camerawork. All in all, it's a brilliant entry and another quality release from the red hot Alice Otsu. Can't wait to see more from her.

"Through The Slut's Technique Involving Breathing, You Will Be Immersed In So Much Pleasure That You Will Feel As If Your Brain Melted. Breast Control Play For Men With Masochistic Sexual Feelings"
It's been a little bit since I've watched a new Chitose release and this one seemed right up my alley. It is very much a heavy femdom-centric film with a focus on breath control play, as the title suggests. This includes lots of titty smothering, facesitting, wrapping her legs around the guy's head, and even holding him underwater for a brief bit while she jerks him off. It can get a little rough at times so if you're not into this theme then you probably won't enjoy this one. Bringing this setup to life is Chitose's top-notch acting. She is a complete natural in this dominant role and boasts superb energy. Her facial expressions and engagement are nearly flawless as well making for one of the better femdom performances I've seen in recent memory.
The action unfortunately doesn't quite hold up as well. It features two sex scenes with the rest being a mix of handjobs, blowjobs, and a little bit of paizuri. From what I can tell many of the cumshots are legit at least which is always a plus. But some of those non-sex scenes can get a little repetitive and that extends to the sex scenes too as the only real prevalent position is cowgirl. At least the production values fare pretty well. The setting variety is decently varied along with Chitose's wardrobe being quite nice. I didn't have any problems with the camerawork or lighting either as both are on point for the most part. I don't consider myself a huge fan of Chitose but I can surely appreciate a good femdom film like this.

"Konan Koyoi Stimulates Each Of Your Senses With Jerk-off Support That Goes Straight To Your Head To Offer Sexual Satisfaction Across 6 Soothing Situations For Your Hard-on"
Several of Konan Koyoi's past few releases have felt very "samey". While the setup for this didn't exactly appeal to me, the prospect of it being POV-focused got my attention. The focus of this film generally revolves around masturbation support and ASMR all designed to be as immersive as possible. They even recommend wearing headphones to get the most out of it. I honestly don't get ASMR so all of that was completely lost on me. So while the general premise wasn't too hot, the action thankfully fares much better. Overall it consists of six scenes in all featuring 3 sex scenes, a blowjob scene, a paizuri scene, and lastly a dildo masturbation scene that is 100% forgettable. It's just her jerking off a dildo for about 15 minutes.
Beyond that though the action is pretty satisfying. The pacing is balanced throughout, the position variety is solid, and most of the cumshots(from what I can tell) are legit which is always a plus. There's really not much to complain about. However, the same cannot be said for the production values. The POV camerawork is mostly great although the paizuri scene is a bit wonky with some distorted fisheye lens. Also, the setting variety can feel very repetitive as many scenes reuse the same general location. The lighting at least is generally terrific. Also, she delivers a great performance with nice facial expressions and generally good enthusiasm. All this makes for what is easily her best film in several months.

"I-Cup Titties Filled With Lots Of Love! You'll Get Your Balls Drained Dry Through Sensual Cumming By Titty Fucking At This Divine Men's Titty Massage Parlor"
Ruu Yumemi as a busty masseuse? Sign me up, please! This is a super simple film that focuses entirely on the massage theme and to be more specific, tittyfucking. It's all very straightforward and doesn't really do anything particularly unique. But hey if it ain't broke don't fix it. Since most of the focus is on the action, how does it fare? It's a little bit of a mixed bag. It features two sex scenes and three paizuri scenes overall. Those paizuri scenes are pretty decent as her technique is quite good and the cumshots seem legit. At the very least they're not incredibly over the top fake like some tend to be these days which is nice. The sex scenes are enjoyable although the second one is a bit too brief.
My one complaint regarding the action is that it can be a little repetitive. The two sex scenes feel kinda "samey" and the middle of the film drags a bit since it's just two paizuri scenes back to back. The production values all around are excellent with a sexy wardrobe and very nice hair/makeup for Ruu on top of some fantastic lighting. The pacing could've been structured a little better though. Especially with the last scene as there's just a little over 10 min of actual sex. Lastly, regarding her performance, she does a fine job for the most part. I wasn't too blown away but she manages to get the job done. While it's pretty basic and a little too plain at times, it still boasts some stunning eyecandy and should please any Ruu Yumemi fan out there.

"Huge Cock Shock! Naughty Interracial Fuck With Big Black Cocks. Unequaled Big Cock Hard Fucking Creampie Super Banging Cum!!"
I'm a big fan of interracial JAV but not quite too keen on Nenne. But regardless I decided to check it out anyway. There's really no plot to speak of with this one as it just centers entirely around interracial sex in a mostly vanilla fashion. First off let me speak about Nenne herself. On one hand, I think she's kinda cute. And that's where the praise ends sadly. Her ass is average at best, her figure isn't that great, and worst of all is her chest. I don't like her tits at all. They're too saggy and spaced apart for my liking. And as a performer, she's quite lackluster here with some loud whining and middling enthusiasm. Thankfully the action fares a bit better.
It features four scenes in all consisting of two one-on-one sex scenes, a threesome sex scene, and lastly a blowjob scene. That blowjob scene is underwhelming mainly due to her acting and how clumsy it feels. The two solo sex scenes are fine at best but the best highlight is surely the threesome thanks to its intensity and solid lighting. That leads me to the production values which are kind of a mixed bag. As noted the lighting is great in the last scene but way too bright in the first scene. Also, the pacing is rather slow in some scenes like the first one where it takes a bit too long to get going. If you're a Nenne and IR fan you'll no doubt enjoy this one. But I'm not a fan of hers at all so as a result, I wasn't too impressed.

"Colossal Tits Girls From The Snack Bar Are Getting Their Slut On With Erect Nipples They're Serving Up Their Soft Breasts After Hours For Some Creampie Hospitality"
The previous collab between Hana and Miu was stellar so I was expecting great things here. Unfortunately, I came away feeling rather "whelmed" at best. Here we see the pair playing slutty bartenders who have their way with a lucky customer giving him some first-class service. The premise itself is enjoyable but a little annoying is that only one actor is used which feels like a missed opportunity. Especially because this leads to plenty of fake cumshots. This leads me to the action which is quite lackluster if I'm being honest. It features two threesome sex scenes, a blowjob scene, and a couple of paizuri scenes. The biggest issue by far is the fake cumshots used in those non-sex scenes. It makes them all feel pointless as a result.
Even the sex scenes feature plenty of fake creampies. It drastically brings down the satisfaction of every scene. The sex scenes are still enjoyable though with equal attention given to each actress and the chemistry between the pair livens things up. That there is one of the better aspects of the film. Their chemistry together is great and they make a nice pair. Hana was the standout with her more bubbly personality shining through but Miu was still solid. Production values were mostly good although the lighting is hit-or-miss at times. The set designs, camerawork, and pacing are all terrific at least. The execution here leaves something to be desired. It's not terrible but far from what it could've been.

"Get Some Quickie Action With A Housecleaning Old Lady With Light Skin And A Big Ass!"
Who wouldn't want Shiori Tsukada as your own personal maid? That's precisely the setup for this film here. A man hires Shiori to help clean up his place and soon enough he catches a glimpse of her huge ass. In typical JAV fashion, he can't help himself and begins to fuck her. She's resistant at first but eventually gives in and by the end, she's enjoying herself. It's a decent setup that certainly provides some nice eye candy of Shiori in jeans. Now the pacing as a result can be a tad slow as the film spends a lot of time showing off her ass as she cleans and also on foreplay which does bloat the runtime considerably. Some of the lighting and camerawork have issues too.
The first sex scene is too bright and saturated while with the camerawork there's some static camera use that makes for some middling shots. Thankfully, the action is pretty good for the most part. It features about five sex scenes in all although three of them are very brief. In addition, there's also a blowjob scene at the start. The sex scenes are generally solid with a nice focus on her ass. Now when it comes to her performance there really isn't much to say. She does a relatively fine job throughout starting out submissive before shifting to a more proactive stance. Some of her whining and facial expressions leave something to be desired though. This film definitely serves up some nice booty eye candy but not a whole lot else beyond that.

"Sweaty Lust-Covered Slut! I Was Attacked By a Jailbreaker With a Vaginal Cum Shot"
New Maki Kyoko releases are sadly few and far between. So when I saw this pop up I had to check it out. The plot features Maki playing an escaped convict who takes refuge at this man's house. She ends up tying him up and using him as her own personal sex toy pretty much fucking him silly. She even briefly fucks one of his friends who stops by to visit. It's a really great and unique setup. The casting choice of Maki was brilliant as she makes for a perfect fit for this role. She is appropriately aggressive here boasting superb energy and on-point facial expressions. Overall she comes across as very believable in playing this lust-filled role.
The production values are mostly great with one exception which is the settings. Four scenes end up reusing the same exact room which gets a bit repetitive. At least they switch up the lighting setup which does help to some extent. The pacing is well done moving along quite nicely and never dragging too much. And while her wardrobe is minimal, I appreciate the sweat aesthetic applied to her as it looks terrific. The action is a little mixed lastly as it features two sex scenes, a blowjob scene, a scene of the guy eating her out, and a nipple play scene. Several scenes here end before they really get going and feel way too brief. It's a little disappointing for sure. That being said I still enjoyed this film if nothing else for its memorable premise.

"Investigator Step-sisters Flood With Tides Of Squirting Orgasms Together For Blissful Sex And Harsh Teasing"
Have your ponchos ready because you're gonna get soaked when watching this one. Here we see the pair of Alice and Mao play secret agents who are on some sort of undercover mission. While attempting to steal some intel they get caught and well...you know how the rest goes. I'm not really a big fan of this setup but who can say no to two super soakers squirting like crazy? Now one aspect that left me feeling lukewarm was the acting from the pair. They tend to go a little overboard at times. It makes sense given that they were treated with special "medicine" but it's still a bit much. I didn't hate it too badly but I know some may be turned off by it. There's never a dull moment at least thanks to their enthusiasm.
The action overall is terrific but be warned if you're not into squirting, you probably won't enjoy it too much. It features a group sex scene, a threesome sex scene, a blowjob scene, and finally a masturbation/toying scene. The best aspect IMO is the over the top squirting. It makes each scene much more entertaining as a result as you watch them gush like a geyser. The production values though can leave a little something to be desired. The lighting is a mixed bag as sometimes it's fine and other times it's a bit too dim. The setting variety is repetitive as each scene takes place in mostly the same set. But at least the camerawork is mostly solid. This is definitely worth a watch for those heavy into squirting. Otherwise, you may be turned off.

Comments
Btw, has anyone from your team heard anything re: timelines for restoring the 'OK' portion of the delisted stuff?
I think R18's first priority is getting full processing back and frankly if I were them, anything even slightly 'gray' I'd keep delisted.
My feeling is that with a slight renaming, most of that content would be good anyways.
I wish I could transfer my collection over to DMM, as given the state of R18 I think I'd rather use that, but I can't be bothered to navigate two websites/players, when they literally share the same backend.
