JAV VR: News, comments about releases, recommendations, hardware

[2dxxxisdead]

Ha ha, that guy gets on your nerves... I understand, the same for me. But I like the intros, they give context to the sex scenes.

I agree that a proper introduction is important but I don't see why he is needed for the intro though. The girl can do all the explaining which she also does in JUVR-208. Not sure what he is adding to the story and I will never find out. It seems to me that they use this dude to get to a certain runtime and include some filler material for the 90+ minutes goal. Which would also explain the empty room shots they have.

In line with what we talked about the 8K image quality of Fanza, @2dxxxisdead , I don't know if you've noticed, but there is another thing equally irritating: the intro scenes have much more bitrate than the sex scenes, which is where the bitrate matters, because the girl moves a lot.

I have checked a few but it only seems to be true for certain studios or releases like IPVR which you have mentioned and in general it's all over the place.

With Unfinished it seems to be the opposite that Part B has higher bitrate or they are around the same from what I've gathered. JUVR-208 has over 30mbits and Part C while Part A is still better with 47mbits. I'm not complaining, if all releases on Fanza had at least 30mbits it would be fine honestly or let's say a much smaller issue than the absolute mess that is below 15mbits. SIVR-385 Part A is the lowest I could find with close to 10mbits


Since 2024 is almost over I wanted to do a best JAV VR movies of 2024. But I completely failed and ended up with a list that is massive This would just be spam... If anyone is better at this than me feel free to post your favorites of the year.

All the 8K VRs I've looked at in the sex scenes have equal or less bitrate than the intro ones, I don't remember one that has more. I don't look at all of them, true, just the ones that look particularly mediocre.

Madonna VR is the Fanza studio with the highest bitrate, their 8K movies (JUVR) look the best. Since 3 or 4 months ago they have gone up to 30 - 40 Mbps. That's precisely why it annoys me that scene 3 of JUVR-209 has 17 Mbps, which is where all the close up head to head shots are.
Idea Pocket, S1 and Moodyz have the worst bitrate, between 10 and 15 Mbps. I was hoping they would improve in 2024, but it's one of my disappointments of the year.

Overall for me 2024 has been worse than 2023. Yes, very good titles have come out individually, but overall there have been no significant improvements or innovations, no new quality VR studios. And the return of Prestige and DOC VR has been a complete failure. In my case, I haven't been able to enjoy any big S1 and Moodyz stars since April or thereabouts, which is when they moved on to VRs full of clothes and oils. Also SOD VR has been a constant frustration, but it was already in 2023.
Kawaii and Unfinished have also lowered the bar, especially at the models level. In general, I think the quality of actresses has gone down quite a bit in recent years, especially the freelance ones.

I was hoping that to say goodbye to the year, some studio would release a special or different title, but nothing... Well, if we don't count that SOD VR bloodbath, very appropriate for Christmas....

Try to make a selection of 10 titles. As we are few people around here, the thread won't be so full... I'll do the same. You can also choose the actress you liked the most this year, and the best newcomer. Let's hope that more people will join in.

Alright, your approach seems reasonable but it took me a while to break it down to 10 titles, somehow I did it. No way I'm going to rank them against each other so I just put the titles in alphabetical order.

Let's do this and like you said I also hope for more participants. Even if someone has just one or two titles please share them here. It took me a while to write this down so I hope someone reading this might discover a few good releases, that's the idea and what got me interested into this thread in the first place.


Best JAV VR Movies of 2024

1) AJVR-250
Director: Yazawa Receive ; Cast: Azu Amatsuki

I start with what I consider the most innovative release of this year. Receive manages to make a VR work that happens mostly under a blanket. That includes movement with the camera/gear back and forth from the outside back under the blanket. So you can experience crawling up on Azu's awesome body, exploring every inch of her. Awesome stuff, it's fun, check it out.

2) JUVR-184
Director: Yazawa Receive ; Cast: Rio Kuriyama

Another win from Receive and in what I consider the best release from Madonna in 2024. Immersiveness is dialed up to 11 in this one with maxed out closeness to the girl in all scenes. It's also extremely naughty and includes a sex scene while Rio's son is doing his homework in the background. Normally not my kind of thing, but they made this work here. I didn't know the actress before this but she did a phenomenal job. All in all super well made and it deserves a spot on this list.

3) KAVR-376
Director: Genius Knee ; Cast: Riisa Kisaragi

My favorite Kawaii release of this year. It's what I expected more from this studio and they seem to have mostly forgotten what they stand for in recent months. But in this release everything come together perfectly. An awesome debut from Riisa and a near perfect execution from Genius Knee.

4) MDVR-295
Director: Genius Knee ; Cast: Amiri Saitou

For sure a scenario that would absolutely never happen in real life: a beautiful girl all soaking wet from a sudden rainfall asks for shelter at your place. While she is drying herself off you get ever closer to her and you have to guess yourself what happens next... This release might have the best 'introduction' part in all of the releases in 2024 with the included artifical thunder that drives Amiri ever closer to you. Also an insane performance by Amiri with great angles from start to finish.

5) MDVR-305
Director: Koara Taro ; Cast: Riho Shishido

This release is especially driven by Riho's performance and upbeat personality. Everything hits perfectly from the introduction in the bathtub to the close sex scenes in the bedroom. All in all you will have a good time with this quality release from Moodyz.

6) SIVR-336
Director: Wet puppy ; Cast: Konan Koyoi

If you like big tits like me then... well I guess you know this release already, how could you have missed it in what I consider Konan Koyoi's best VR? In SIVR-336 she just plays herself, seducing you with everything she has to offer, which is... a lot. Awesome performance by Konan and a stellar execution from S1. I wish they would utilize their lineup more often this way.

7) URVRSP-296
Director: dignified ; Cast: Jun Suehiro

I really like Jun Suehiro but being a fan or her can be tough with all the mediocre releases she had to go through with lesser capable studios and creators. Fortuanetely there is also this release which is nearly perfect and brings out the best of her. Throughout this release she is extremely playful with the camera and combined with the Unfinished quality you get to experience her with a perfect view and her awesome body. I hope they both get together for more releases in 2025.

8) URVRSP-341
Director: Mizuki Kai ; Cast: Hikaru Miyanishi

Unfinished successfully tricked me into liking a release while the girl is mostly dressed so it deserved a spot on this list. Also how could you not fall in love with Hikaru in this wedding dress? She absolutely looks amazing and they really put some effort into this. The movie is also very well made and Hikaru is great as always. Not the only good performance by her this year, but we have to cut it short.

9) URVRSP-345
Director: Mizuki Kai ; Cast: Aya Ko Nami

On this list I absolutely had to include something from Aya, one of my favorite actresses. I believe no one else has done more VR releases in 2024. She did an insane pace in the middle of 2024 with over 20 releases in one month. Like it is as a freelancer most of the releases will inevitably be forgettable but she also had some great ones. I go with the Unfinished classic in which she plays the naughty tutor in which she instructs you how to have sex with your first girlfriend. And no one would be better for this job than Aya with her unique charme and cuteness.

10) URVRSP-368
Director: Ray Melissa ; Cast: Aiga Mizuki

I absolutely love Aiga and her work with Unfinished is always a great joy. This is my favorite release of her in 2024. See more in the best actress category.


Best JAV VR Actresses of 2024

A) Best Actress - Aiga Mizuki

Most likely not a pick most will take but to me she is the best actress of 2024 for several reasons. First for most of her work with Unfinished which were one of my favorites like URVRSP-367, URVRSP-389 and the already mentioned URVRSP-368. What sets her apart to me is for once that she is able to convey passion without moaning or loud noises, she keeps up the tension at all time with just her presence. And secondly no one is on her level when it comes to naughty talk, like she really knows what to say and how to say it like no one else.

Lastly she also did execute something in 2024 successfully that I didn't expect: making a wearable camera release work. Sure, not on her own but she played a vital part in it making it work. In 3DSVR-1566 they use an 8k wearable camera with her and to my surprise I enjoyed this release. To this date the only one of this kind that I would recommend. Also you can get this release with 83mbit/s on A Festa, a high bitrate is recommended with this kind of content. Make sure that you are not prone to movement sickness, the camera moves around quickly and it might not be for everyone.

B) Best Newcomer - Hinako Matsui

Honestely this was an easy pick. Hinako Matsui had an amazing performance with her debut on KAVR-382. She has absolutely no shyness to her and goes full throttle from the first second on screen, a rare talent. I'm sure that we will see more of her in 2025.
