Pan Takes - November 2024 Vol 1 - Ai Sayama, Shiori Tsukada, Jun Suehiro and More!

This month brought with it several tantalizing releases. Shiori Tsukada has landed herself an exclusive contract with Fitch after slumming it with C-tier studios for seemingly all year. A welcome change for sure. We also get Jun Suehiro tackling Wanz Factory's "If You Can Last 10 Minutes" series which seems like a homerun on paper. Now as always I'll review each film fully and cap it off with an overall score at the end. Now without further ado, let's begin!

That's a pretty eye-catching cover right there. And thankfully, the video mostly lives up to it. The plot centers around Rin playing a gravure model who goes in for a massage. Unbeknownst to her though, it's a salon that specializes in developing sexual sensitivity. She soon succumbs to the pleasure and finds herself returning back for more. It's not exactly a plot that I feel strongly about overall but it's decent enough. I do appreciate the heavy use of body oil at least as it really makes her body pop with a nice glistening sheen. That right there is easily one of the best aspects of the video which is the eyecandy factor. Rin's figure is absolutely stunning and it's on full display. The production values go a long way in boosting that aspect.

The lighting is not only varied but looks quite nice and reflects off her oily body extremely well. The settings also have a solid variety to them and the camerawork is on point. The action is equally great consisting of two sex scenes, an outercourse type scene, and a stimulation/toying scene. I usually loathe those scenes but this one is tolerable and at least makes sense given the setup. The two sex scenes are excellent and we even get a little bit of squirting. The outercourse scene is a little disappointing though as it features some extensive teasing but doesn't really go anywhere. Now I will say her performance is on the forgettable side. She's mostly submissive and doesn't really engage too much. The setup dictates that to an extent but it'd still be nice to see her getting more involved by the end. It's not a major issue as this is still one of her best films of the year for sure. Definitely a must-watch for fans of hers.

Overall Rating - 8.5/10

Shiori Tsukada this year has been massively disappointing shooting mostly for C tier or worse studios along with repetitive NTR type themes. I was stoked to see her freed from that and now an exclusive for Fitch which is pretty fitting for her. The plot involves Shiori buying a perfume online that is supposed to help draw in men by magnifying her pheromones. She soon finds random men following her on the streets and even coming into her home. It's a pretty amusing albeit silly setup. I appreciate that it gives her a maneater-type role to play as she's not half bad at it. This is highlighted nicely in one of the sex scenes where she seduces a pizza guy. Her enthusiasm is excellent along with boasting some great facial expressions. She is just a perfect fit for this nympho milf role.

Unfortunately, some of the production values are a bit more questionable. One of my biggest issues is with some of the lighting. It's rather mediocre in the first scene and in the last scene utilizes a spotlight that is often shining right in the camera lens. There's also a heavy use of fisheye lens here which may turn some folks off. The settings are at least varied and her wardrobe is quite sexy as it highlights her juicy curves. The action fares much better consisting of three sex scenes, a handjob scene, and a stimulation scene focused on her having the guy fondle her tits and eat her out. The position variety does a fine job of showcasing her ass and tits. We even get some light squirting from her. This all makes for one of her best works in recent memory although that bar is incredibly low.

Overall Rating - 8.4/10

This is easily one of my favorite series so discovering that Jun Suehiro took part in it had me thrilled. For those few people unaware, the series centers around the featured actress tasked with pleasuring a group of "random" guys to see if they can last ten minutes with her to earn a round of creampie sex. Obviously, they're just amateur actors but it's still a fun concept that any fan would love to imagine themselves in. Now one of the best things about this series is how it allows the actress to just be themselves and let their natural personality take the spotlight. Jun is very bubbly and upbeat here. I also loved her cheeky and lively facial expressions. And her reactions to busting the guys before the time limit are super enjoyable. Hell, she even swallows at one point.

When it comes to the production values, it's all incredibly simple. If you've seen one of these films before, you know exactly what to expect. The lighting and setting are all the same across the entire video. Normally that's a big negative but it's a key element of this long-running series by now so I don't mind it as much. Another signature aspect is the wardrobe and it's pretty nice here. I especially love the fishnet stockings. The action is always on the lighter side in this series and that rings true here. There are two sex scenes with the rest being a mix of blowjobs and handjobs. The sex scenes are decent but nothing too memorable. You're mainly here to watch the actress roam wild and be herself. WAAA-422 ultimately makes for another solid entry in this long-running series.

Yumi Shion is a sleeper favorite of mine but she hardly ever receives any proper solo work from any major studios. Well today, that has changed with this release from Moodyz. This one features a rather unique setup. It casts Yumi as an aspiring artist interested in drawing erotic manga. However, she needs a male model first. She lands one but upon first glance, she becomes turned on and starts throwing herself at him as she unleashes her inner lewd side. I quite enjoyed the plot and Yumi playing the role of an unsuspecting nerdy girl is pretty fitting. She does have the right personality for it but admittedly her performance could be a little better. She's far from terrible and does boast some lively facial expressions. But she doesn't really tap into the nympho energy that you want to see.

It's from a dealbreaker but worth pointing out. I will say her appearance helps make up for it as she's in terrific shape and sports some nice schoolgirl outfits and even a sexy slingkini at the end. The action isn't too shabby either consisting of three sex scenes, a handjob scene featuring titty smothering, and a paizuri scene. My one issue is with the overuse of fake creampies. It can be a little over the top with how excessively they're used. I did appreciate the use of POV for one of the sex scenes and as a whole, the production values are solid across the board. The lighting and settings are varied and the pacing is balanced as well. In the end, MIAB-358 stands as one of Yumi's better solo films to date. Now give us more of this, please.

Ai Sayama's 2024 has been rather spotty. A few decent films here and there but also so many redundant releases on top of her body not being in the most ideal shape personally(that's a whole other issue). I was pretty hopeful for this one given the plot but how does it fare? Let's find out. The premise is the typical fitness instructor setup but with a slight twist as Ai believes semen is highly rich in nutrients so she milks it out of her clients by fucking them silly. I love workout themes so I thoroughly enjoyed this setup. The extra twist doesn't play a huge role as it's just an excuse to incorporate tons of fake creampies but does also give Ai a nice opportunity to lean into her more nympho side. She's always been one of the most consistent performers around and here is no different. She takes the lead with complete believability and showcases some nice sultry facial expressions.

You'll never see her half-assing it here. She does a splendid job overall. Next, we have the production values which are a tad mixed. I say this because the camerawork can be rather shoddy in some scenes. Every scene contains a few shots that don't feel properly framed or are just at a less-than-ideal angle. I also wasn't a huge fan of the lighting in the last scene but otherwise, all the other scenes are lit quite well. Her wardrobe is stunning with some nice leggings and sports bras. Last we have the action which is a little disappointing. It features three sex scenes, a paizuri scene, and an assjob/handjob scene. That last scene is very meh and the position variety in the first two sex scenes is only limited to cowgirl. Not only that but the second sex scene features less than 10 minutes of actual penetration. The last sex scene is pretty enjoyable at least and the overall intensity is great. WAAA-415 had the potential for true greatness but only ended up as a decent watch.

Overall Rating - 8.2/10

This was by far my most anticipated release of the month and I'm happy to report that it didn't disappoint. It features a rather humorous concept as it casts her as a busty OL whose huge breasts prove to be an eyesore and are simply too big to ignore. A few examples include her moving a bunch of boxes but her boobs get in the way. Or when she's having a drink with a co-worker and her boobs are resting on the table catching his attention. It's a very fitting premise for her making for an entertaining watch as each scene presents a unique scenario. There's a lot to love about this film but one aspect that doesn't impress is her acting. She's definitely not beating the lousy performer aspect of being an S1 titty monster. She's sadly reminiscent of Rara Anzai with her lackluster enthusiasm and disinterested facial expressions. That said I speak for most of her fans when I say we all expect it by now. She'll likely never change so just enjoy her for what she is, glorious eyecandy.

Now we get to the good stuff which is the aforementioned eyecandy factor. She looks absolutely amazing and I loved seeing her huge tits poking through her tight shirts. It's made even better by the fact that she keeps most of said clothes on during sex which I'm a big fan of. And the camerawork provides tons of stunning shots of her massive melons. Not to mention all the settings are varied with equally different lighting. Lastly, we have the action. It consists of three sex scenes and two paizuri scenes. The first tittyfuck scene is admittedly underwhelming but the other one is a decent watch. And every sex scene is satisfying thanks to the clothed sex element and no fake cumshots which is always a plus. All this makes for a stellar film and a vast improvement in every way over her previous release. Sure her acting is far from ideal but the eyecandy is off the charts, the action is solid and it's all wrapped up in some top-notch production values. The Nagi train is back on track.

Overall Rating - 9.5/10

I've been starving for something more plot-driven from Ren Gojo as most of her releases up to this point have been vanilla gonzo-style videos. While this one doesn't boast the deepest setup ever, it's better than what we've been getting at least. It's a tried and true theme from S1 that centers around Ren Gojo in various situations where her chest is on full display leading to various guys fondling and fucking her. Some scenarios include an office lady and her working out at a gym. It's got a decent variety that keeps things relatively fresh with unique setups and locations for every scene. This is easily one of my favorite themes from S1. Now let me get my one main negative out of the hand first which is her dismal acting.

It's no secret that she's been very lackluster as a performer so far and here is no different. Her facial expressions are stale on top of being rather whiny and submissive with little enthusiasm to boot. There's no sugarcoating it here, she's terrible. But what's not so terrible is the action. It features three sex scenes and a paizuri scene. Pretty standard fare all around. The position variety is quite strong and we even get a few nice glimpses of her surprisingly plump booty. All the cumshots are real too albeit many are rather lackluster. And lastly, the production values in general are top-notch. She sports a nice range of outfits, the lighting is crisp and the pacing is well-balanced. Aside from her lousy performance, there's little to complain about here. It's easily one of her best films to date.

Overall Rating - 8.8/10

Could you resist the temptation of Nene Tanaka? I know I couldn't. The plot here features that exact scenario as it centers around a married couple who is visited by the wife's friend, Nene. It doesn't take long though for her to whip her tits out and start seducing the husband. This of course leads to them having sex while the wife is right nearby. I always enjoy plots like this and Nene is a solid fit for the role both physically of course and acting-wise. She manages to maintain a steady enthusiasm level throughout and her facial expressions are nice as well. Nene just has this nice lewd aura about her which is great. Now one aspect that feels slightly underwhelming is the production values. There's nothing particularly damning but everything is just average at best really. The lighting for example is fine but is mostly the same throughout the entire film and can be a little flat at times.

The settings are decently varied at least and her wardrobe is pretty fitting. Let's end this one a more higher note by going over the action. It features two sex scenes and two blowjob/paizuri scenes. The bathroom blowjob scene I'll say is mostly forgettable but the first one is a decent watch thanks to the element of risk as the wife is right behind them in the kitchen. That's also a factor in the first sex scene when they're doing it while she's in the next room with the door open. It's a tad silly but it elevates the excitement to another level. One negative I sadly must mention is the lack of any real cumshots. I know I harp on this all the time but when you can't even produce a singe real load, that's when I got a problem. The last sex scene is just alright at best but it's sorely missing that risk factor as otherwise, it's pretty bland. With some better lighting and real cumshots, this could have been a real banger. It's a great film but had the potential for more.
