I don't understand Fanza's criteria when deciding the image quality and bitrate of a 8K VR. I also don't know if the decision is Fanza's, or the studio's.
I have bought from Fanza the 8K version of Reina Miyashita's VR (MDVR-286), and Amiri Saito's (MDVR-295), because no one uploads them. It seems that everyone is satisfied with the outdated 4K versions that are already like the VHS of the VR.
Anyway, the thing is that Reina's 8K VR has a pretty mediocre image quality. Considering that in this context, a mediocre 8K looks much better than the best 4K. However, Amiri's looks very good. If we compare data:
MDVR-286 8K: 124 minutes, 14 MB, 13-14 Mbps.
MDVR-295 8K: 75 minutes, 19 MB, 33-44 Mbps.
I don't understand why the 8K version of Amiri's VR has three times the bitrate, and comparing them head to head, it looks quite a bit better. I don't think it's a space limit, some Fanza 4K VRs I have, also from MDVR, take up 30 or 40 MB. The numbering doesn't work either, MDVR-295 came out a few weeks before MDVR-285, even though it has a higher number.
Reina's VR is supposed to be premium, it's the first in 3 years from a very desirable actress, and should have premium image quality. Instead it has one of the lowest bitrates of all 8K VR movies in existence.
I can't understand it. Unless they don't give a shit how it looks, which is what it looks like. Or they assume that 90% of people use a crappy smartphone to watch VR, and don't notice the difference. Which is more likely. Too bad...
