Pan Takes - February 2023 Vol 1

Published : March 6th, 2023 Written by Panking

The month of February has drawn to a close and it's brought with it a slew of new releases along with the seeming end of the drought. Many studios seem to be getting back on track especially looking into the month of March. It's a welcome return after experiencing several slower months. On deck for this volume of Pan Takes I take a look at multiple new Yuria Yoshine and Yayoi Mizuki films both of whom have been pumping out videos like crazy lately. We also got the return of one of my favorite Moodyz's exclusives in Ruu Yumemi. Was it worth the wait? Let's find out!


WAAA-237

If You Can Put Up With Yuria Yoshine's Amazing Technique, You Can Have Raw Creampie Sex!

Starring Yuria Yoshine

I was very excited to see Yuria tackle this series and the final result is pretty satisfying. This entry is just like the rest of the series as it tasks "random" men with trying to last 10 minutes with  Yuria. If so they get to have creampie sex with her. If they fail, well they still got to cum so it's still a win. It's all pretty standard fare here. Just like any other entry one of the best aspects of this series is getting to see the actress just be themselves and letting their natural personality shine. Yuria is pretty engaging all around while boasting great energy. Her facial expressions are really nice too and she utilizes her huge tits rather well to get these guys to cum.

The other typical bright spot of this series is the actress's wardrobe and once again it's top-notch here. Every single outfit is amazing ranging from some revealing dresses to super skimpy bikinis. All do an amazing job at highlighting her juicy cleavage. Now unfortunately as always, the action is a bit lackluster featuring just two sex scenes with the rest being a mix of handjobs, blowjobs, and paizuri. Sadly, the sex scenes are rather mediocre with a limited position variety on being of being quite brief. This is all to be expected though from this series as the main draw is the fun setup and the actress's performance. If you're a Yuria Yoshine fan I say this is absolutely worth a watch.

Overall Rating - 8.5/10


MTALL-056

Tight Skirt Teacher

Starring Yayoi Mizuki

Yayoi Mizuki has been on fire lately with a string of top-notch releases and she looks to continue that trend with this enticing new film. The plot here, and the whole film really, feel like something from old Moodyz's back in the day. Materiall as a studio has been really impressing me lately. Here we see Yayoi playing a short see-through skirt-wearing teacher who through a series of different scenarios gets fucked by her students. A few examples are when she gets stuck in the doorway or falls down exposing her ass. It's very silly and makes for a fun watch. A great plot is nothing without some equally nice action which this delivers in. It features two sex scenes, an assjob scene, and a blowjob scene.

There's very little to complain about here honestly. The cumshots are all real, the scene variety is great, and the major ass focus is on point. And it's all backed up by some excellent production values. The camerawork is brilliant always capturing some stunning shots of her massive booty and the setting variety is relatively solid. Her wardrobe does only consist of one outfit but it's super effective at the very least. I also gotta give props to her performance. While she does take on a more submissive role, she does seem to welcome the action and still manages to boast some decent enthusiasm. Once again we have another stellar outing from Materiall studio and Yayoi Mizuki that boasts an entertaining plot, terrific action, and slick production values.

MIDV-235

Do M-men Ejaculate Continuously If You Make Them Cum With Sweet And Gentle Lewd Words While Restraining Them?

Starring Ruu Yumemi

Finally, we have the return of one of my favorite Moodyz exclusive actresses in Ruu Yumemi. Was it worth the wait? Sorta. Regarding the premise, it's pretty straightforward as it's just a simple femdom-focused film with an emphasis on multiple cumshots and making the guy "squirt" as a result. I'm personally a huge fan of femdom so naturally, I greatly enjoyed this setup. Now a major component of any femdom film is the actress's performance and I must admit that Ruu doesn't quite stick the landing. While she definitely has her moments here and there, most of the time she falls a bit flat with weak enthusiasm and facial expressions. She's just missing that "oomph" or spark that I want to see from an actress in a femdom film.

Thankfully the action fares a little better. It consists of two sex scenes, a blowjob scene, a handjob scene, and a paizuri scene. The sex scenes are enjoyable but unfortunately only feature one position in cowgirl. The handjob scene is pretty forgettable but the other two scenes are satisfying thanks to a great cumshot finish. Now lastly we have the production values which are solid all around. Both the lighting and settings have a decent variety to them and the pacing is well-balanced. But best of all is her wardrobe which features several smoking hot dominatrix-type outfits. Ruu Yumemi makes for some insanely good eye-candy here. MIDV-235 is certainly not perfect is a welcome return for Ruu and should please any avid fans of hers.

Overall Rating - 8.3/10


WAAA-236

Visiting A Fan's Apartment

Starring Ai Sayama

Who wouldn't want the curvaceous Ai Sayama visiting you for some lovely fan appreciation? That's precisely the setup for her latest release. It's a plot that you've all seen before where Ai meets up with a few lucky "fans" and has sex with them in their apartment. I'm well aware that it's all most likely staged but it's still a fun watch just to indulge yourself in the fantasy of it all. It's a dream experience for most of us I imagine. All that said, I was left feeling a bit mixed from this one. One of my biggest issues is with the pacing as there are just three sex scenes in all with an extensive amount of foreplay and setup in each before any real action starts. It doesn't help that the actual sex is a little too brief relative to how lengthy other aspects are.

The position variety is at least solid enough. Now moving on to the production values which are fine but do little to really stand out and make an impact. The lighting isn't horrible but is virtually the same across each scene making things feel a bit stale. The camerawork is solid besides some minor static camerawork usage in the first scene. Perhaps best of all is her wardrobe as she sports a few nice slutty outfits. Rounding all this out is Ai's terrific performance. It's fun watching her just be herself and have a good time. Her bubbly and outgoing personality really shines. This film has the core of a great film but fumbles the bag a bit with its production values and slow pacing. Still a good watch if you're a diehard Ai Sayama fan but it's not too noteworthy overall.

Overall Rating - 7.5/10


SSIS-594

Binaural Recording of Whispering Lewd Words / Immoral Exciting Situation / Close-up Video of Beautiful Face] Would You Like To Get Devilishly Horny With The Ultimate Lewd Words From The Seductive Sexy Voice Sister?

Starring Tsukasa Aoi

After my previous first impressions post I couldn't wait to check out more of Tsukasa. This new release looked pretty enticing and thankfully it mostly delivered. The setup here centers around the theme of masturbation support as it's all shot in POV with Tsukasa playing an array of different roles such as a masseuse, waitress, and even your girlfriend. There's also a focus on binaural audio as she'll frequently whisper dirty talk in your ear. I can't say I'm a fan of that aspect really but everything else was enjoyable, especially all the POV use and scenario variety. Now let me get my biggest negative outta the way which is her performance. Sadly I wasn't too impressed as both her facial expressions and enthusiasm are often lacking quite a bit.

Sometimes she just feels too stiff. She's far from terrible and it doesn't ruin the film but certainly could've elevated it to a much higher level. Thankfully the action is pretty good with three sex scenes, a handjob scene, and a blowjob scene. The position variety is solid and the range of settings helps to keep things fresh. Plus, there's an added risk factor in every scene making even the non-sex scenes much more exciting. This is all backed up by some superb production values with its fantastic POV camerawork, varied lighting, and settings. The pacing is mostly great although the first scene takes a little too long to get going. With a slightly better performance, this film could have punched way higher but is still a very satisfying watch.

Overall Rating - 9/10


MKMP-505

Breast Heaven Surrounded By Tits

Starring Yuria Yoshine, Non Ohana & Monami Takarada

Three pairs of big titties in one, what could be better? The plot here revolves around you and your three newlywed wives fooling around and having fun together. Gotta love polygamy right? All this being shot in POV makes it a much more engaging experience as a result. Overall the premise is nice but pretty basic. Now right off the bat let me make this clear, there's virtually no interaction here between the cast. It shouldn't come as any surprise given that it seems to be standard for this studio. There's some light fondling here and there but it's nothing too noteworthy. If you can get past that negative aspect then you'll find lots to enjoy here starting with the terrific action.

It consists of a group handjob scene, two solo Yuria sex scenes, a threesome, and lastly a foursome with the entire cast. There are plenty of fake cumshots here sadly and the actress balance is a bit skewed with Yuria receiving more screen time than the rest(fine with me personally). But the actual sex is enjoyable beyond that thanks to its well-executed production values. The lighting is on point, especially in the last scene and POV shots are handled very well. Now performance wise all three do a commendable job barring the whole limited interaction aspect. Monami was a tad underwhelming compared to the other two who were solid across the board for the most part. Overall if you want some nice juicy eye candy then definitely give this a watch.

Overall Rating - 8.4/10


ACHJ-005

M-Man's Big Ass Maniacs

Starring Nao Jinguji

It's been a while since I last checked out a new Nao Jinguji video. To be honest, I'm really only interested in films that focus on her top-notch booty so this one caught my eye immediately. The plot seems to revolve around Nao playing a lewd office lady who seduces her boss and fellow employees mostly by flaunting her huge ass. It's nothing too fancy but it does put her in a dominant role which is always nice to see and she takes the lead in stunning fashion. Nao has always done well in these types of roles and this is no exception. She's got this great seductive and alluring energy about her that makes for an engaging watch all the way through.

The action here consists of two sex scenes, a handjob scene, and an assjob scene. Her ass is the centerpiece of each ass receiving most of the attention which is great to see. That said, the handjob scene is a bit forgettable and the assjob scene doesn't make a whole lot of sense given that she plays the role of a masseuse for whatever reason. Not a huge deal but a bit puzzling and feels shoehorned in. The technical aspects are pretty decent with a nice OL wardrobe for Nao and good camerawork although there is a heavy use of fisheye lens. I don't mind personally but some may be bothered by it. All in all, an enjoyable ass-centric Nao film that is sure to please any fan of hers.

Overall Rating - 8.6/10


JUQ-183

Onsite Massage NTR - Married Woman Who Succumbed To The Pleasure of Being Struck Right on the Sexual Zone Couldn't Endure the Pleasure Crawling Over Her Whole Body

Starring Rino Yuki

I wasn't expecting to like this one all that much but it ended up surprising me a bit. The premise here centers around Rino playing a married woman whose husband injuries himself at home and receives some at-home treatment from a massage therapist. Rino ends up getting a massage herself and slowly succumbs to her inner lust and lets the guy fuck her. It's about what you'd expect from an NTR plot and even know I don't normally enjoy them, I didn't mind this one as much due to a couple of factors. One is the impeccable production values. The lighting and camerawork here are both top-notch as always with Madonna. Plus the wardrobe effectively showcases her incredible body extremely well with lots of tight shorts and sports bras.

The pacing is terrific too as the film excellently takes the time to build up Rino's increasing lust in a believable fashion before ultimately giving in. My only gripe is the repetitive setting variety as there's just one room used for the entire film. Rino's performance also goes a long way to make this all feel more realistic as she's appropriately submissive to start but then slowly loosens up all while still conveying a feeling of shame. Unfortunately, the action is pretty weak with just two sex scenes, a blowjob scene, and a masturbation scene. An assjob scene would've been perfect here instead of the lackluster blowjob or masturbation scene. It's still a solid watch though with its well-executed setup, mostly great production values, and strong performance.

Overall Rating - 8.1/10


PPPE-097

Excited To Watch My Busty Girlfriend Get Fucked By A Group Of Deliquents

Starring Karen Yuzuriha

I had very few expectations going into this one but to my surprise, it ended up way better than I thought. The main theme here is cuckold as we see a man in an unfulfilling relationship who after realizing he gets aroused by watching an old sex tape of his girlfriend, Karen, pays a group of men to fuck her right in front of him. This ends up reigniting the spark for him as he jerks off while watching them. I don't normally care for this type of plot but it wasn't too bad as the action and her performance really elevate it for me. Speaking of which, the action is fantastic here. It features two group sex scenes, a one-on-one POV sex scene, and a brief blowjob scene. Those last two scenes are honestly pretty forgettable in the long run.

But those group scenes though are incredible. Easily the best aspect is the sheer intensity. Karen gets fucked super hard throughout in a fantastic array of positions. There is a severe lack of real cumshots here but one nice touch is that they'll attach the used condoms to her panties so by the end she's got a good half-dozen or so hanging on her. It's a nice visual touch. Bolstering this is Karen's excellent performance. She plays her role in a believable fashion as she's submissive to start before losing all sense and giving in during the final scene. I gotta point out the lighting too as it brilliantly highlights her figure and most notably her chest. PPPE-097 really surprised me. I'm not big on the plot but the intense action and acting make it worth watching.

Overall Rating - 8.7/10


MIAA-767

A Busty Married Nurse Who Enjoys Short-Time Affair During Night Shift And Her Husband Is On A Business Trip... I Gave Her Permission To Go Out Overnight, And After An Outdoor Date, I Fucked Her Inside After Sunset

Starring Yayoi Mizuki

Here we have yet another new Yayoi Mizuki release this time from the always reliable Moodyz. In this one, she plays a married nurse who ends up falling for a patient of hers and begins a secret relationship. This leads to them booking a hotel room as they go at it for the rest of the film. I'll be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan of the execution here. Not only am I not huge on the plot but it takes a somewhat interesting setup and then just devulges into bland hotel room sex. Some more scenes at the hospital would've been nice. The camerawork too could've been executed better. It's not awful but there's this frequent back-and-forth between POV and third person that's a bit annoying.

The action does fare a little better consisting of three sex scenes and an admittedly mediocre paizuri scene. The sex scenes are mostly enjoyable but don't really do anything too memorable. One issue I should mention is that there are barely any real cumshots here. It's all just fake creampies. Now back on to the positive side, Yayoi does deliver a mostly solid performance. She is appropriately submissive to start but it doesn't take long for her to loosen up and enjoy herself as she ramps up both her enthusiasm and facial expressions. The lighting is also nicely varied with each scene sporting a different look and feel. That said though, this still ends up being an average watch. The bland direction of the plot really hinders any potential it could've had.

Overall Rating - 7.7/10

Yuria didn't deepthroat or do anything special other than paizuri in her 10 mins entry did she? Actresses like her have a lot of potential in them but somehow a lot of them manage to squander it.

Panking 1 year ago

Tbf, this series always plays it pretty vanilla. I wouldn't place any blame on Yuria. Same with Alice Otsu's entry. Her entry, while good, was just as tame.

Oppaira 1 year ago

The weird thing is that I've always praised the series for how much freedom it gives the actress. They could deepthroat or squirt in it if they wanted, nobody would bat an eye. Maybe the series just hasn't been the same since they stopped using an actual bus.

Dang, Mizuki been filling up my watch itinerary lately. Hopefully, she has good year.
Panking 1 year ago

She's already started out very strong with several amazing films. In fact, a few I could see contending for my top 10 vids of the year. Let's hope she can continue at this rate for the rest of the year.

I know you did an article on it but MIAA-784 was my personal favorite from feb MTALL-056 being a close 2nd. Mizuki has been on such a roll lately! Really curious to see if you do a review of Alice Otsu's MIAA-760
Panking 1 year ago

Ye MIAA-784 was amazing and further proves that the Alice and Yayoi duo is one of the best in all of JAV right now. They have such great chemistry together. And I'll definitely be including MIAA-760 in my March edition of Pan Takes. I will say it's one of the best anal JAV films I've seen in a long, long time.
