Pan Takes June 2023 Vol 2

Published : July 17th, 2023 Written by Panking

I gotta say was pretty impressed overall by the JAV offerings from June. It wasn't all good, as you'll see from one film down below, by everything was generally pretty enjoyable. Some of the major highlights included a lesbian collab between Jun Suehiro and Non Ohana, a femdom Tsukasa Aoi release that is actually quite good, a new busty starlet debut, and the return of Marina Yuzuki. Without further ado, let's dive in. 


BBAN-428

A Chance Reunion With A Former Student Sweetheart

Starring Jun Suehiro & Non Ohana

I didn't exactly have this on my bingo card. A lesbian film between Jun Suehiro and Non Ohana was rather unexpected but certainly a welcome surprise. Lesbian films usually aren't my cup of tea but with these two together how could I say no? The plot centers around the pair being former school lovers who reunite by chance and decide to rekindle their relationship. It's simple but it gets the job done. Now one of the key strengths of a lesbian film is the chemistry between the pair. Overall, I think that aspect is quite solid. Physically they both make a good duo as they each have a nice milf vibe to them. And performance wise they're each on the same level with adequate enthusiasm and engagement. I never once felt that one was holding back or anything. Next up we have the action which features all the usual bells and whistles you've come to expect from this genre.

There's plenty of kissing, licking, fondling, oral play, and scissoring but also some great strap-on use. And there's a brief bit where the two use a double-ended dildo and go ass-to-ass. I gotta give praise to the fantastic variety in the action. Often times lesbian films are very dull as it's the same exact thing over and over but this one manages to keep things fresh throughout. Rounding all this out is the terrific production values. There's nothing too noteworthy but everything comes together just right in regards to the lighting, pacing, and hair/makeup. BBAN-428 is without a doubt one of the better lesbian films I've seen in a while. The variety of action is superb and these two make a really nice pair resulting in some great chemistry. I don't typically enjoy this genre all that much but even I was impressed here. Definitely give this a shot if you're a fan of lesbian films or any of these two actresses. You won't be disappointed.

Overall Rating - 8.6/10


SSIS-756

Elegant Femdom

Starring Tsukasa Aoi

The prospect of a femdom Tsukasa Aoi film sounded a little suspicious on paper. She's not exactly known to be a great performer so I was pretty uneasy about it going in. But to my surprise, it exceeded my expectations. So at its core, it's just a simple and straightforward femdom-style film. You don't have to worry about there being anything too hardcore as this is just S1 at the end of the day. It's pretty light but does feature Tsukasa restraining the guys here and taking the dominant leading role. This leads me to her performance which is actually not half-bad. She ramps up her enthusiasm to a fitting level and her facial expressions are a step up too showing real emotion at times. She's not entirely perfect though as she'll frequently have this disinterested look on her face but in a way, it kinda fits the femdom theme.

Faring just as well is the action which consists of three sex scenes and a blowjob/handjob scene. It boasts a nice intensity overall and the pacing is balanced without any scenes feeling too long or drawn out. I will say though that the position variety could've been a bit better as cowgirl is used about 75% of the time with no doggystyle at all. It feels like a big missed opportunity. Moving on to the production values there's not much to complain about really. The settings are decently varied, her wardrobe is sexy, and the lighting is superb with no glaring flaws. Besides a few minor issues, I really loved this one. I definitely didn't expect a femdom film from Tsukasa Aoi to deliver but it certainly makes for a satisfying watch thanks to her solid performance, good action, and stunning eyecandy.

Overall Rating - 9.2/10


JUFE-481

Busty Food Delivery Girl

Starring Marina Yuzuki

Marina Yuzuki has returned to JAV after taking the past few years off. I'm not gonna lie, I was never a huge fan of hers despite my love for big titties. She just never "clicked" with me. I still wanted to give her a shot with her this return as the plot seemed pretty fun. It casts her as a busty "uber eats" type delivery gal who ends up giving her customers a little extra service. I really enjoyed the setup here and it gives us a decent amount of variety regarding the scene scenarios. A great performance would really be beneficial here but unfortunately, Marina falls quite short of expectations. She really hasn't changed much since my last time watching her. She's still just as stiff as before with middling energy and facial expressions. I just get no sense of any real enjoyment or effort put forward. Just kinda going through the motions.

On a more positive note, the action here is solid. It features three sex scenes and a paizuri scene altogether. The actual sex is pretty enjoyable with a nice range of positions but the pacing is a bit too slow at times as some scenes take way too long to get going causing a bloat in the runtime. It's not too egregious but a mild annoyance. Another issue I have is with the camerawork as it features TONS of fish eye lens which normally doesn't bother me but it doesn't look too hot here combined with the overly bright lighting. It doesn't do her body any favors which unfortunately is another issue I personally have. I don't think she looks that great here. Her boobs have seen better days and nothing else about her figure really stands out. If you're a hardcore fan of Marina then maybe you'll wanna check this out. But if not, you can confidently skip this one. 

Overall Rating - 6.7/10


MIAA-865

Sweaty Fitness Trainer With A Big Ass

Starring Yayoi Mizuki

I was greatly anticipating this film when it was first announced. The prospect of a workout-themed video starring Yayoi sounded like a home run on paper and I'm happy to say it more than delivers. When it comes to the plot here, what you see is what you get. Yayoi plays a lewd fitness instructor who enjoys getting a little too hands-on with her clients. It's pretty simple overall but it works. As someone who loves gym/workout themes, this one knocked it out of the park. It does a great job of incorporating various workouts at the start before diving into the action. Speaking of, that too is handled brilliantly here. It consists of three sex scenes and an assjob scene. I don't really have any complaints overall. The position variety is superb with a nice mix of cowgirl, doggystyle, and missionary with her ass always being a main focal point. Most of the cumshots are real too and there's not a ton of filler getting in the way either.

Not only is the pacing great but the rest of the technical aspects are on point as well. The camerawork for instance always gives you the best angles of her juicy booty. There is some fish eye lens use in the first scene but it's not that egregious. The lighting is nicely varied giving each scene a unique feel despite two scenes reusing the same location which is a slight bummer. Her wardrobe is another major highlight as she sports some tight thongs, leggings, and shorts. And rounding all this out is her fantastic performance. She's very expressive and energetic making for a perfect fit for this role on top of being super engaging. She also gets decently sweaty at times adding to the stellar eyecandy factor. Her ass looks insane here. There's no doubt that she's my number-one choice for the best ass in JAV. MIAA-865 stands as one of my favorite films of the year so far. It's an absolute banger from start to finish.

Overall Rating - 9.5/10


BANK-126

Bakunyu Hot Springs Lascivious Sluts

Starring Maki Kyoko & Misono Mizuhara

This is such a random pairing. Sure both have big tits but that's about where all the similarities end for the most part. But it somehow works and makes for a satisfying watch. The premise casts the pair as two horny ladies filled with lust who hang out at the hot springs looking for a few lucky guys to have some fun with. It's a simple and fun concept that I ultimately enjoyed despite my apathy for this particular setting. The reverse pick-up theme definitely helped. Now you may ask why I dislike this setting and one reason why is the lighting. Most of the time they film outdoors which results in them primarily using natural lighting and it can very hit-or-miss. Sometimes it doesn't look too bad but other times the sun will be shining right in front of the actress's face and body. It's so distracting. This film does feature some indoor shoots which look fine and some outdoor ones that lead to mixed results.

Most of the other production aspects fare well enough such as camerawork which utilizes a handheld camera for some lovely POV shots. Now there isn't a whole lot of interaction between the duo here sadly but that's to be expected. There's some very light touching here and there but it's mostly negligible. Individually their performances are fine with Maki Kyoko taking the spotlight a bit in that regard as a stronger performer. Finally regarding the action I feel a tad mixed. It features two blowjob scenes, two one-on-one sex scenes, a threesome paizuri scene, and a threesome sex scene. I said mixed because only two and a half scenes feature the pair together. It's kind of a waste. But on the other hand, those solo scenes are still great and make for some stellar eyecandy. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It's far from perfect but the eyecandy factor from these two combined with some quality action makes it worth your time.

Overall Rating - 8.2/10


YMDD-326

Forbidden Back-Op Negotiation Esthetic Salon & DVD Store Where Fan-Fucking Is Allowed!

Starring Nene Tanaka

I almost passed over this film initially but I'm glad I ended up checking it out as it proved to be a pretty enjoyable watch. The central premise revolves around two different setups both supposedly involving "random" guys or fans. In the first one, we see her posing as a masseuse who ends up giving her customers quite a happy ending. And in the second, she heads to a JAV store and fucks one of the lucky "fans" there while also moving around the store in the open. I don't really recognize any of the actors which does help with the immersion but I'm sure they're all just actors. It's still a fun premise as I really love the fan thanksgiving style setups. Helping to boost the overall immersion is the camerawork which, at least for the first setup, uses a few static cameras. I usually loathe this but it does help with the believability and gives it a voyeuristic feel.

The lighting is pretty decent all around too and the pacing isn't too bad although I would've liked to have seen more than just one scene using the DVD store location. All in all, the film does feel a bit cheap and light on budget but they make the most of it and it works. Now let's talk about the action. It consists of two sex scenes and two handjob scenes. Both sex scenes are quite good and there are no fake cumshots at all which is always appreciated. However, I really wish there was a full paizuri scene at least. It seems like a no-brainer with the masseuse theme but it's underutilized in that aspect. Lastly, when it comes to her performance, she's about average. I do think in general her facial expressions and energy are on par but I can't help but wish for a little bit more of a spark from her. She gets the job done but has the potential for so much more. YMDD-326 proved to be a fun ride thanks to its interesting setup and solid action.

EBOD-987

Divine Breasts without Exaggeration: 3 Months Document of an Amateur College Student with Miraculous Breasts Making Her AV Debut on the Condition That Her Face Not Be Shown

Starring Noa Hazuki

We got a new busty starlet making her debut this month and she's got one of the best racks I've seen from a new actress in a long while. Now from my understanding, the main gimmick of this one is that she's supposedly a college student(wow how original right?) and she refuses to show her face. She keeps a mask on for the entire time...until the last scene when she takes it off. It's kinda silly but it's whatever. It's just a simple debut-style film really so you know what to expect. As usual, they spend about 20 or so minutes at the start interviewing her before undressing her and kicking off the first sex scene. Speaking of, the action here is excellent. It features two one-on-one sex scenes, a threesome sex scene, and a paizuri scene. All the cumshots are real, the positions used all highlight her insane chest, and there's even some POV camerawork utilized.

The pacing can be a tad slow at times mainly to kick things off but as I said earlier it's par for the course. The other aspects of the production are pretty on-point such as the lighting and camerawork also there is some fish eye lens usage in the first sex scene. But now perhaps most importantly how is she? Well her face is okay at best. She's certainly not the prettiest but she's fine enough. But her body is decently meaty with a good shape to it. And her boobs are incredible. They're all-natural, perky, and plenty plump. Now the unfortunate thing is that it would appear she has no new video for next month(July) so the worry is that she could be a one-and-done. I'm hoping that's not the case as she's got lots of potential but I'm already preparing for the worst. In the end, I greatly enjoyed this debut film. I say she's absolutely worth checking out if you're a fellow oppai enthusiast like myself. Just don't get too invested in her in case she's already done.

Overall Rating - 9/10


JUFE-477

A Pair of Big Butt Milf's Seduce Their Teacher

Starring Sora Amakawa & Yayoi Mizuki

These two make for quite the bootylicious combo. Here we see the pair playing the role of married women who are sexually frustrated. A male teacher comes to their place to discuss their little ones and two can't help but show off their busts and butts in order to seduce him. It's no surprise that they are successful and even pull in a second teacher later on who joins him. It's a pretty nice seduction setup that I myself am always a fan of. It's great seeing these two flexing their skills and it's executed fairly well too. Their performances go a long way in bringing this premise to life. While there is very little interaction between the duo sadly, individually they both do a terrific job. They take control of every scene with lovely enthusiasm and lively facial expressions.

 Now when it comes to the action, it's also pretty good despite there being one or two hiccups. It consists of two sex scenes and three blowjob scenes. The sex scenes are indeed satisfying and overall there's a heavy focus on their booties which is appropriate and welcomed for sure. But there are barely any real cumshots here and the blowjob scenes get a tad repetitive although the unique setup for each does somewhat help alleviate that issue. On a more positive note, the production values are fantastic. There is a decent variety of settings and lighting, their wardrobe is sexy, and the camerawork is superb. Calling all ass lovers, this one is definitely for you. Two pristine asses for the price of one.

Was hoping the Non + Jun lesbian would be good, I'll probably have to check it out. You had me at strap-on.

Also not surprised the Marina video was bad. She hasn't done anything in a couple of years so I expected little from her. I don't think she's quite as bad as you paint her to be but she was also a favourite of mine during my "give me massive tits or riot" phase, so maybe I won't find her that great this time around. I've checked out a little of it, will have to finish it. I'm just happy she finally got her act together and got back into it.

Ye, I wasn't sure what to expect from that Jun and Non lesbian vid but it was a pleasant surprise. The toy use is really nice in it and helps to keep things interesting beyond the usual kissing and fondling.

And ye I never was THAT fond of Marina Yuzuki like you are. She's just okay at best to me. Even ignoring my "meh" feelings about her physically, the film still isn't that good due to her lousy performance, overuse of fish eye, and overly bright lighting.

Pretty solid takes as usual. There is currently a new Mina Kitano and Koibuchi Momona vid, waiting for your reviews by the end of the month as they are my favorites. Cheers!

Thanks for the kind words. Now if it's the Mina Kitano vid I'm thinking of I don't know if I'll review it or not. I thought it was just okay, nothing special. Same for the Momona video. Didn't care too much for the theme.

Feint 1 year ago
Yeah I thought they were kinda mid too. But still I'd be interested to read about your review on it. If not, its cool. No worries!
