We have renewed the product page on R18.com
Here are some of the improvements:

1- Responsive and cleaner design to work on PC/ Mobile and Smart TVs.
2- Now bigger thumbnail to watch the sample movies.
3- Now able to follow Series, Studios and Actress directly from the product page.
4- Bigger photo gallery.
5- In "Actress appearing in this movie" below the photo gallery you can see all the actress in the movie and follow them easier.
6- When you try to follow/wishlist and you are not login you can login directly in the same page without moving to a different page.
7- When you scroll down you will still be able to see the movie cover, tittle and purchase options.

What do you think?

Its good that you guys are finally updating the website and I appreciate the effort that's been put into it. a step in the right direction for sure.

Can't pass judgement on it without using it for some time, but I hope that more improvements will be coming to other parts of the site, specifically the search pages, as I've mentioned here.

Hi. Sorry. Can you elaborate that question?
What kind of API for what use
I guess it would be the same use cases of why DMM provides it? For me personally, I like to download cover art, the trailers, screencaps, for the dvds/media I have purchased from R18/DMM (when I am in Japan).

(On desktop) Overall I like it, but what I’m not that fond of is how the image galleries pushed lower and seems to open its own mini-window. For screenshots at least, I think how it was integrated up top in the previous design was more user friendly.

PS, the video player has a bug where if you play, lower volume, stop, and start playing again, the volume resets to default settings.

I think overall it's a good change and I haven't had any major issues with it. It lines up with the new library. It allows you to follow things more easily especially the actresses.

I think like @Inertia said, one potential improvement is on the image gallery. The old website design you clicked on each image and it brought it up in the same place vs now having to scroll after you've clicked on one image. I don't mind the mini-popup window but I do think it would be nice to have the window be a slideshow window that cycles through left or right or allows you to click on the mini-images at the bottom of your screen.

I have only ever used the website on desktops/laptops and that's been my experience over the last few days.

Hi. Thank you for the feedback.

Could you please let us know the exactly movie URL and how do you do to reproduce this error? If you could let us know if you are using win/mac and the browser (Firefox/Chrome/Safari/Edge) it will help.

when I click on a movie to watch on the app it doesn't load, I'm not scrolling through a 65,000 page library.

Thank you for reporting. Let me try to understand the problem.

You access with your phone (Android?) to the movie product page from the web browser (Chrome?) and then you click the blue button "watch full movie".
A popup opens and you click the "Watch in R player" red button and the R Player app does not open?
Is this what is happening?

When browsing the photo gallery on PC, the add to cart bar plus close bar at the top takes up too much space and I cant see the entire photo.

If there was a minimize function for the add to cart tab it might make it better.

When I'm on r18 the website on my phone I will click on a movie. If I have a subscription it would have a watch the full movie option when you click on watch the movie it will take you to the R app and lets you play. Since the website update you are only taken to your library front page in the app.

Instead of real screenshots from the real video there are photos
Instead of an sample from the real video there is a re-encoded trailer

wow, you should have beta tested the website before launch. You should have fixed your busted app first.

Thank you. We were able to identify this bug affecting when a movie is part of a channel you have been subscribed. We will fix this bug ASAP.

Per the trailer volume playback issue, it happens to be on desktop on at least FF and Chrome. I can't be the only one.
