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

Well, the year started off quite decently for me so far despite my earlier concerns about the lack of content.

Itou Mayuki (my last year's best VR) seems to have established herself as the frontrunner for my best VR of 2025 with her last release KAVR-401. I didn't know it was meant to be a silent title where she doesn't speak. I kinda miss the dirty talk but there's also something strangely erotic about not speaking at all too. There's less clips than the maid themed VR which I enjoyed but it adds up to being slightly longer so overall its a more focused experience. And there's 2 long scenes of sitting cowgirl which is my favored position in VR. I like that she often leans back so you can a good view of her face and her breasts all at once without needing to change angle.

Same location, same bed, just different timing for the shoot so it just a bit of difference in lighting. Eh, not going to complain. I like what I see.

Likewise my runner-up for last year, Sasaki Saki, has also made a great impression right off with IPVR-296. I know some of you don't appreciate the clothes but for me that seifuku is :mimisan:

There's just something about those plaited skirts. It adds to the immersion of the scenario for me.

I had high hopes for SIVR-390 but I was actually somewhat disappointed with its execution and format. Nevertheless, seeing both Mita Marin and Asano Kokoro naked together instantly makes too stupid to be able to complain much anymore. So yeah, this is still likely to end up in my top #10 at the end of the year. I just wish Asano Kokoro wore less makeup here like in her first 2 VRs where she had a fresher more innocent look.

But than there's the year's first disappointment so far in MDVR-334. I don't know how Moodyz managed to mess up here. By all rights, this should be the best VR of 2025. I mean look at Ibuki here. This girl has been working out and it shows. Look at that tone on her belly. That bod is almost unreal and Moodyz has to go screw it up with their camerawork. WTF man. Its like they took a fine piece of highest grade wagyu and than burnt it to a crisp.

What's weird about this is that they actually did a decent job on MDVR-333. Newcomer Nomiya An is quite cute but she's not on the same tier as Aoi Ibuki or Ishikawa Mio. So how is it they screwed up for their stars but did OK here. What's going on?

I can only hope they don't screw up with MDVR-336 which I had already bought simple cos its Mio who, along with the Saika, has the ability to make me not care about how much I'm spending.

Hmm, I don't know why I didn't pick Shiina Koharu as best newcomer last year. She did get my attention but I guess it just slipped my mind.

This ain't her first Crystal VR but its her first "Stress Reduction" themed one which I surprisingly actually enjoy more than the schoolgirl ones. Imagine that.

These stress reduction ones all use the same format. You start cuddling in bed with her, than she gives you a blowjob in their trademark sideways angle. This is always followed by a bit of a filler clip where you have a light meal together while chatting (I don't consider these to be time wasters btw, I think they're great) before she invites you to take a bath together. I also always enjoy the bath scenes and watching the girl soap herself up.

Than it moves on to the sex which you can be sure will cover all the various positions. Its very formulaic, almost like there's someone with a checklist ticking off stuff during the filming. Some might consider it boring but I appreciate the consistency. You always know exactly what you are getting in a CRVR video as compared to Moodyz who can screw up every so often. CrystalVR never really excites but they don't really disappoint either. IMHO, that's a good thing in its own way.

Ichika's first VR for 2025 is something I'm likely to avoid for various reasons despite it being in 8k. Firstly, I don't really enjoy pink salon themed ones. This one actually has other guys around even if you only see their backs. I really don't get why they need all those extra folks around. I suppose they do add to the immersion that you're in a pink salon but this is the sort of immersion that I'm not comfortable with. I don't want other guys around when I'm having sex.

This is also appears to be aa f***rced sex theme and I never enjoy that sort of thing.

C'mon Ichika...you can do better than this. This better not be your only VR of 2025 cos you're still way behind in 8k content.

January was a very slow month and besides KAVR-401 it had only a few highlights. But in February many more studios have started to release again and it looks much better. Even KMP - to my suprise - had a few good releases in the mix.

I also would've preferred this with some dialogue. To me these 'silent' movies add nothing. Regardless and despite of this KAVR-401 was very good.

Speaking of Kawaii they have a new VR debut upcoming and this girl looks incredible.

Her curves are spectacular from every angle. Her tits are perfect and I believe they are real. Looks almost too good to be true.

First Crystal VR release in a while I'm interested in. Oh man, my luck with her releases continues.

Hmm, which were the KMP releases? I can only think of VRKM-1498 (Ozaki Erika) and VRKM-1499 (Misono Waka) which are both the wet hair girlfriend in grey Calvin Klein underwear theme. Its one of the few KMP themes that I really like.

Its always a good thing when Crystal VR makes a VR with a girl you like. On average, they are better than KMP. Plus being available on Afesta without DRM yet at better quality than Fanza cos of Takumi is a huge bonus.
 
For me, January was a terrible month. February has improved in terms of launches, but the disappointments have continued.
So far this year the only VR I have fully enjoyed is KAVR-401 with Itou Mayuki. I would have also liked her to talk a bit, but her body, her kisses, and her passion speak for themselves. The cowgirl, as Chewbaka says, and the missionary, are spectacular.

I also enjoyed some of the Idea Pocket titles, a couple of SOD VR titles, and, incredibly, some VRKM titles. I don't believe it myself. URVRSP has become the second KMP, another one that enters the pile of VR mediocrity.

Moodyz and S1 keep failing me, disappointment after disappointment. The extra penis in Nana Miho's VR, the umpteenth VR in a row with costumes and clothes of Mio Ishikawa, and the garbage VR with Ibuki where she looks like a giant, no face-to-face missionary (cut off at the waist, like Aqua's fake penetrations!!!) , and the camera far away in cowgirl, are three daggers in my heart that I won't take them off all year, because it's going to take a long time to see VRs with these three actresses again.
Saika's VR could fix it up a bit, but weird things are already starting to come out..... (the censored fingers...)

Hopefully we'll have more VRs with Sasaki Saki. Shiina Koharu is a pretty girl with a nice body, but for some reason She doesn't "click" for me ....
Ichika Matsumoto's VRs are a disgrace. Honnaka and Dass are inept. Since she's been with them, they've only released VRs with clothes, costumes, f***rced sex.... I haven't watched any new VRs with her for two years. Now even the VRs she made with KMP look like masterpieces next to these....

Speaking of Kawaii they have a new VR debut upcoming and this girl looks incredible.

I don't know what to think. I've watched the trailer and there are some things I don't like, and others that are missing. At launch I won't buy it. I need to watch more.

Hmm, which were the KMP releases?

In my case, VRKM-1502 with Azu, and the Shizuki Koharu ones: VRKM-1483 and VRKM-1482. More for the actresses than the movies themselves. Although they are well shot, with good angles.

I know what you mean. It takes a while for her to get naked and it's on the rougher side but I think it has some awesome angle in which she is naked as well. I'm excited about seing her totally naked in VR.

Not a fan of the recent Calvin Klein releases. But I also liked the three releases Walle12 has mentioned VRKM-1502 with Azu Amatsuki, both releases from Koharu Shizuki (VRKM-1483, VRKM-1482). We had discussed these three in this thread before and VRKM-1485...

VRKM-1499 (Misono Waka)
I didn't know that you like her. I thought I was the only Waka fan in this thread. And she was amazing in VRKM-1485

Imo it has much better angles than VRKM-1483 and on top of that it has a section in which you can explore her body from all sides up-close.

It's a section I wish we would get more often in JAV VR. But because movies are now very short in general, only 60-70 minutes no time is left for a section like that. It's a shame, especially for debuts it would add so much. Unfortuantely the Fanza bitrate of this release is yet again terrible. Looking forward to the 'real' release on A Festa.

You're beginning to know how my brain works better than I do myself.... :D

I have never been attracted to her, but I have to admit that, in her maturity, she is really beautiful, very sexy. The short hair looks great on her. I think I'm going to download that VR....

and on top of that it has a section in which you can explore her body from all sides up-close.

It should be mandatory in all VRs... That was done quite a bit a few years ago, but it has been fading away, because now VRs are becoming less and less immersive.

Haha, I won't say I'm a fan of Waka Misono. She's not normally my type. But I won't say no to watching her either. She does have a nice ass.
