I'm going to talk about what I consider to be the best VR of the year, and possibly the best ever:
MDVR-369 with Ishikawa Mio.
Not because of the theme, which is a classic “girlfriend experience.” Not because of the sex, which is slow even for Mio. I'm sure that for most people, it's a boring VR. But, friends, this VR is a masterpiece in so many ways that it blows my mind.
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to VR, and none are better than others. For me, VR only makes sense if I believe I'm inside the movie and if I can “feel” the girl. The barrier to entry for VR is high: you have to put on glasses that isolate you, you have to find a moment when no one else is at home, which isn't easy if you don't live alone. I don't wear a headset to watch the same old flat porn in 3D. And that's what 80% of VRs do.
VR has something that 2D video cannot achieve, and therefore justifies its existence:
the feeling of “presence”. In VR porn, this means two things: first, feeling like you are inside the scene. If you are sitting still and the girl is doing things around you, and you are barely interacting, that is not “presence.” It is just watching. At the same time, you need to “feel the presence” of the girl. Your brain needs to believe that she is there in front of you, that you are with a real girl, and not watching a video.
That's not just a matter of placing the camera close by. That's important, but it's not the only thing. There are other factors: intimate conversation, looks, caresses, gestures, chemistry.
All of this is in MDVR-369, plus a third thing that I haven't felt in a VR movie in a long time:
creating expectation. In the last year, VRs have reduced their running time to 70 minutes, so now they're like Western porn: they go straight to the sex. "Hi, how are you? Let's have sex". MDVR-369 does something that hardly ever happens anymore:
it creates the expectation that you maybe can have sex with Mio.
The movie has two scenes, two different dates with her. And in both of them,
you have to “win her over”; you have to earn the sex.
Both begin with two outdoor scenes. In the first, you go to a bar with waiters and people (you can tell it's a staged setting, but it doesn't matter), and you chat and have a drink with her. I haven't subtitled the movie yet, so I can't talk about the plot.
But you spend 10 or 15 minutes talking and walking with Mio. She tells you things, smiles, looks at you affectionately, makes loving gestures, holds your hand, kisses you. This is “presence,” in both senses of the word. You feel like you're there, and you feel Mio.
You are not a passive observer: you have walked through the park with Mio, chatted on a bench, had a drink at the bar where a waiter served you... You feel involved, doing active things. Being outdoors makes it even more realistic:

The second scene is the same, and it's not censored like in the trailer: a walk in the park and an incredible picnic scene, eating while sitting on the grass under a cherry tree in bloom. Not only is it spectacular in VR to see that you're under the cherry tree that fills your entire field of vision, but it's also an artistic scene worthy of a Hollywood romantic movie:

These outdoor scenes create a sense of anticipation. Just like on a real date, you interact with your partner and some moments you don't even listen to what she's saying because you're thinking about when you'll have sex or what underwear she'll be wearing. But you have to be attentive and kind; you have to make the girl feel comfortable enough so that you can get her into bed. Mio is so beautiful, so feminine, and so perfect in this movie that even your brain thinks about not messing up so as not to ruin the date...
This feeling of anticipation was something I hadn't felt in VR for a long time.
Once she's in the mood, don't think you're going to jump right on her. This is hyper-realistic VR, you have to be gentle with a goddess like her.
Start by cuddling up next to her, hugging her...:

Making her feel shy... Until finally...:

At this point, if you have managed to immerse yourself in the VR, your brain should be experiencing a feeling of euphoria, of true conquest: you have managed to make one of the most beautiful girls on the planet want to have sex with you.
Sex is slow, conventional, and probably boring for most people. But it's full of knowing glances, hugs, and kisses. It's real sex between two lovers, not with a porn star:

Mio's face is the absolute star of the entire movie. The angles, which are absolutely perfect, are designed to focus on and highlight her face:

No trace of ZAMPA's boring, drawn-out 10-minute blowjobs. Here, you even enjoy them because they're where they should be and last two minutes. You don't need more when everything is censored:

Call me dirty, but I'm grateful to Genius Knee for this shot, which hardly exists anymore:

Watching such an immensely beautiful girl take off her panties half a meter away from me, real size and 3D, completely melts me:

There's no doggie style, it's the only position missing, but we can explore every inch of Mio's body, up close and from every angle:

It's very difficult for her, for the actor, and for the camera, but director Genius Knee strives to make us feel Mio's breathing, her heartbeats. From angles rarely seen. This is immersion, this is presence at its finest.

Many people enjoy the fantasy of “dominating” women in f***rced sex VRs, or with maid costumes. For me, this is the ultimate expression of lovingly “owning” a woman: legs spread, armpits exposed, and completely surrendered:

The journey from walks in the park to here, three hours of movie, gives you a real sense of triumph, of a goal achieved.
When the movie ends, your brain has completely bought into the fantasy of going on a date with Mio, a woman who is surely unattainable in real life. This, my friends, is impossible to achieve in 2D porn. Movies like this are the reason I can no longer watch flat porn anymore. I've made love to Mio, my brain has completely bought into it; the other thing is watching a tiny screen with Mio and some guy who's usually pretty ugly and old. There's no comparison. I can't understand why VR is a niche market.
Unfortunately, these types of VRs don't sell well despite the immense effort behind them, and I don't think Genius Knee will be allowed to make many more like this one. I would die for a VR like this with Ibuki and Rena Miyashita. For now, tomorrow we'll have one with Nozomi Ishihara (MDVR-375).
Thank you Mio, Genius Knee, and Moodyz, for this gift.
