Pan Takes May 2023 Vol 1
It's hard to believe we're already halfway through the year. The month of May is officially in the books and with it, we've got another full sleight of releases. There was plenty to enjoy this month. Some highlights include the return of Maria Nagai shooting for a major studio again with one of my major favorite actresses in Hana Himesaki. And as always there were loads of big tits from the likes of Momona Koibuchi and Nagi Hikaru to name a few. So with all that out of the way, let's begin!
MIAA-815
Colossal Tits and Big Butts
Starring Hana Himesaki & Maria Nagai
A collab featuring two of my current top 5 favorite actresses? Needless to say, I was pretty hyped for this one. The end result could've been a bit better in some spots but overall mostly satisfying. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn that there's barely any plot here. It's a straightforward vanilla release centering around their big tits and asses, hence the title. With that out of the way let's dive into the action. It consists of three sex scenes and two paizuri scenes with real cumshots thankfully. Also, every scene features the duo together which is always nice over splitting them up for half the film. There's really not much to complain about regarding the action as it's evenly balanced between the duo and never really bogs down too much.
I will say that there's not really any interaction between them which is a bummer but sadly to be expected to some extent. The production values across the board are pretty solid. The only minor issue I have is with some of the camerawork as at times the angles are a bit too low. It's not a huge deal but it is noticeable. Performance wise both do a pretty decent job with good enthusiasm all around but the chemistry between them isn't that remarkable if I'm being honest. As much as I love these two, I don't quite think they fit together all that well both physically and personality-wise. Despite its shortcomings, I still had a good time here. Some interaction though would've gone a long way to increasing its satisfaction.
Overall Rating - 8.7/10
STARS-834
Divine Tits Erotic Cosplay! She Has An Orgasmic Frenzy By Continuous Pounding!
Starring Momona Koibuchi
After discovering Momona in my latest first impressions post, I've become a big fan. I was curious to see how her newest film would fare. It proved to be a decent watch but sadly pretty generic. This particular one feels very similar to another film she did earlier centering on intense orgasms and stimulation. The only real difference this time is some pretty light cosplay with her wearing a bunnygirl and cowgirl bikinis, as just a few examples. All around it's a very bland setup that doesn't really offer up anything exciting or different beyond some nice minimal outfits. Faring much better is the action consisting of three full sex scenes with the last one being a foursome sex scene. The best aspect has to be the sheer intensity as Momona gets absolutely fucked here.
She gets pounded very hard here in every scene. We're also treated to some nice real cumshots such as in the last scene where she takes multiple loads to the face in a row. I could do without the unnecessary foreplay and masturbation though that sets up every scene. Complimenting this intense action is her performance as she sells it all extremely well. While she's nothing more than a sex toy in some of these scenes, her facial expressions are fantastic. She'll frequently roll her eyes into the back of her head or just sport a nice full grin. All of this helps to liven up each scene even more. The production values as a whole are solid but don't really stand out in any real way. As I mentioned earlier her outfits are indeed nice but also pretty skimpy. The camerawork though is on point with no glaring flaws. STARS-834 is a pretty bland film in its setup but is bolstered by some intense action and solid performance from Momona.

WAAA-242
I Was Fucked 10 times In A Room With My Sexy Boss
Starring Non Ohana
I've always been a fan of this series so I was curious to see how Non Ohana's entry would fare. The end result is mostly a hit save for a few flaws. The plot casts Non as a sexually frustrated female boss who is out on a business trip with one of her male employees. She discovers that he has a girlfriend and gets jealous. So naturally she takes out her frustration by fucking him silly over and over throughout the entire film. Admittedly the reasoning for all this is rather flimsy but I'm always down to see Non take the lead as an OL. Now let me get one of my biggest criticisms out of the way early which is the repetitive setting variety. Three out of four scenes use the exact same room, on top of also sharing very similar lighting. It's a common factor throughout this series so I wasn't surprised by it but it'd be nice to see some change of scenery.
I will say that her appearance is incredible here. She looks stunning and on top of that, she gets a bit sweaty in every scene which adds a nice sheen to her figure. Now performance-wise, she's solid enough and gets the job done. Her facial expressions can be a tad underwhelming at times but I found her enthusiasm to be very consistent. Regarding the action, it's pretty great if not a tad repetitive. As I hinted at earlier there are three sex scenes and one paizuri scene. Every scene here is enjoyable with no real glaring weaknesses. The position variety is good with a nice mix of cowgirl, doggystyle, and missionary. And it never really gets too bogged down with excessive foreplay. Overall, I had a satisfying time with this one despite the lacking setting and lighting variety. Please just give us a little mix-up next time.

JUQ-243
Shameful Newcomer Training Of A CA Married Woman
Starring Nina Nishimura
Finally, we get something a bit different from Madonna than just their usual standard fare as we're treated to a fresh new setup. Here we see Nina Nishimura taking on a new job as a cabin attendant for an airline but she must undergo some "training" beforehand. This of course involves her getting fucked and engaging in other sexual acts. Admittedly I'm not really a fan of the forceful nature of the plot but I appreciate the unique theme at least. Now this leads me to her performance which is fine but nothing really noteworthy. She's mostly submissive here as you'd expect It's not my preferred style of acting but it makes sense here and she does a well enough job. Now let's talk about the action. It consists of a one-on-one sex scene, a threesome sex scene, a blowjob/handjob scene, a paizuri scene, and a random scene of her riding a dildo attached to a piece of luggage.
That scene is easily the worst here and is a waste of time honestly. That blowjob scene is okay but the main issue is that it's severely dragged out taking up about 30 min of the runtime. On the bright side, the paizuri scene is amazing and the sex scenes are both satisfying. Most of the cumshots are real too which is always appreciated. Last but not least we have the production values. As always with Madonna films, it's pretty well executed. The wardrobe variety is superb with many sexy stewardess-type outfits. The camerawork and lighting are both top-notch as well. There's a decent range of settings too although not featuring an airline one is a bit puzzling. And I'll admit that the runtime is a little too long in the teeth going over three hours. It's unnecessary. That being said though I still enjoyed my time here. The theme is refreshing and it's well executed with great production values and quality sex scenes.

SSIS-703
Swinging Big Breasts
Starring Nagi Hikaru
Nagi Hikaru has really been impressing me lately. She's had perhaps the best glow-ups of any JAV actress so far in 2023. She's seemingly been working out and the results are paying off as she's well-toned now and slimmer without losing any breast mass at all. Dare I say making for one of the best figures all around now in JAV. Anyway, this film here is just your standard "big titty trope" from S1. This means there's no general plot whatsoever and it's just focused on her tits, that's it. It's as vanilla as it comes. It's very bland for sure but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The film overall consists of three sex scenes with one being a threesome, a titty play scene, and a masturbation scene. Those last two scenes are pretty worthless besides offering up a marginal amount of eyecandy.
The sex scenes though fare much better. They are rather basic and straightforward but they do highlight her chest in stunning fashion. The camerawork goes a long way in boosting that aspect for sure. Her hair and makeup are top-notch all around too and I found the pacing to be pretty well balanced across the board. The lighting is mostly on point as well although it's a tad too saturated in the last scene for my liking. Just a personal thing really. When it comes to her performance here, what can I say really? You all know what to expect by now. She's pretty mediocre all around with middling facial expressions, energy, and engagement. But you're definitely not watching Nagi for some top-tier acting so it's not a huge deal by now. You just want to see some big titties and quality eyecandy which this film does deliver on. Just don't expect too much else.

DVDMS-956
Big Hip Marking Sluts
Starring Yayoi Mizuki & Yui Tenma
This was certainly one of the videos I was looking forward to the most this month. I love Yayoi Mizuki and her co-star here seemed pretty decent. The general premise is your typical reverse pick-up plot where we see these two go at it with a few lucky "random" guys. They're all actors obviously but the fantasy of it all is always nice. There is a big emphasis on squirting too so beware if that's not your thing. Now first things first, how is their chemistry together? Not too bad really. They get along together quite well and their enthusiasm is on par with one another. Just don't expect a whole lot of interaction between them sadly. There are some moments such as when Yayoi spreads Yui's cheeks but beyond minor moments like that, it's few and far between. Now getting into the action is where we have some hiccups. The film is a whopping 3 hours and 37 minutes containing just two sex scenes and a handjob scene.
The first sex scene for example drags on for over an hour and a half. They really should've trimmed down a few scenes here and added a new scene instead. Or just cut the whole runtime down entirely. It doesn't help that the handjob scene is pretty lackluster so the middle of the film kinda drags as a result. The sex scenes themselves are terrific with a decent array of positions and their acting makes them entertaining. They're just too long for their own good. Another issue I have is with the lighting, most notably in the last scene. It utilizes these purple-ish lights in the background that are a bit obnoxious and distracting. They really put a damper on the satisfaction of the scene for me personally. This film has some good moments such as the entire first sex scene but some parts of it are so frustrating that keep it from true greatness. The bloated runtime is the biggest offender on top of some whack lighting and the mediocre middle of the film.
Overall Rating - 7.7/10
MIDV-356
Seductive Busty Nurse
Starring Ruu Yumemi
Ruu Yumemi as a seductive sounds like a home-run on paper. I always love nurse themes so I was pretty eager to check this one out. The plot isn't anything too fancy as it just casts Ruu as a sexy busty nurse who is quite flirtatious and loves to shove her huge tits in her patient's faces. This one does have a slightly more femdom aspect to it as in a few scenes you'll see her restrain some guys with rope or handcuffs. It's a fine setup that doesn't really break any new ground but that's perfectly fine. What isn't quite perfectly fine is the production values. Overall it's not that bad but one thing that irks me is the camerawork. There is some fisheye lend use here but that didn't bother me too much. Some of the angles though weren't that great and don't give you the most optimal view. And while I like most of her nurse wardrove here, I can't help but feel it obscures her body too much at times.
The first scene is really the only scene where it makes an impact but it does take away from it unfortunately. Thankfully other aspects are terrific such as the lighting and pacing. Another element that fares pretty well is the action. It consists of three sex scenes and two paizuri scenes. There are fake cumshots present here and there which do end up hurting the enjoyment of the paizuri scenes to a marginal degree. But otherwise, I don't have any big complaints. I will say her performance is rather average at best. She's a bit better than usual but still nothing to write home about at all. Her appearance though is a big plus. She looks fantastic here in her nurse outfits. And if you like clothed sex you'll definitely get your fill here. All in all, it's not perfect but does make for a satisfying watch especially if you're into nurse themes.

Mission Challenge! Gutsy! If You Can't Last Within The Time Limit, You Will Be Immediately Dismissed (OUT!) Hana Himesaki's 10 Rounds Of Paizuri!
Starring Hana Himesaki
I am a huge fan of this type of challenge theme so naturally, I was expecting good things from this one. It features a pretty straightforward concept that centers around Hana tittyfucking a group of ten guys and trying to make them cum within a ten-minute time limit. If they last, then they get to have sex with her. If you fail, well you still got to cum so it's a win either way. As a massive fan of paizuri I really loved this challenge but if you don't enjoy it, there's not much else to see here. Maybe a spoiler but sadly only one guy is successful in lasting long enough and it's not until the very end. This means it's essentially 9 paizuri only scenes in a row. It does get a tad repetitive but at least there's a nice range of outfits for her that breathes some variety into the scenes and the cumshots are all real which is very nice to see.
As much as I love paizuri though, another sex scene would've been massively appreciated. Now as a whole, the production values do feel quite low-budget. All the scenes take place in basically the same room with nearly identical lighting setups. At the very least there's a fair amount of variety in her wardrobe with the best outfit saved for the last scene. Last but not least we have her performance which is fantastic for the most part. She can be a tad hit-or-miss during the sex scene but in every other scene, she's in top form. She's so cheerful, bubbly, and upbeat. Now her tittyfucking technique could be a little better as she does have a tendency to rely on her hands a tad too much but it's not a major issue overall. Despite a few minor complaints, I really enjoyed this one. If you love paizuri like myself then I strongly recommend giving this a watch.
Overall Rating - 8.5/10
Comments
Every time I look at Pan Takes: Pan is watching his favourite 10 or 20 actresses and just hoping they pop out a good video. This month seems like it was no good. I'm kind of curious now if you ever drop actresses when they just aren't cutting it (like say Ruu Yumemi), and if so how many videos before enough is enough.
I don't really ever drop actresses due to mediocre releases. I mean in the case of your example, Ruu Yumemi, her releases haven't even been that bad. For this month's release, I gave an 8.3 which is still a fine score.
