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

It's a pity Topaz stopped giving perpetual licenses. Whatever version you have now is all you will ever have unless you want to pay them monthly. I can't afford that so I bought a new perpetual license just before the deadline when they ended it. That gave me a version of Video AI two years newer than the one I had. "Topaz Studio" is ridiculously expensive compared to what we were using before. Hopefully somebody out there gives us a better alternative moving forward. I love my AI treated JAVR videos.

Yes, it's a shame how Topaz has betrayed us. Not only is it more expensive now, but you can no longer keep the latest version of your subscription. Now, if you don't subscribe, you can't use anything.
I have a license until February 2026, so I hope I have time to do most of my collection. After that, I'll continue with the latest version of Topaz Video AI that's included in my license (the current one, there won't be any more), which works well.
If the new Topaz Video releases any major improvements, I'll subscribe for a month fron time to time and improve my favorite VRs.

Once again, thank you @NaughtyProfessor and also @Tana_vak for introducing me to this application. Since then, VR movies have been much more enjoyable... :)

My advice is that, for your favorite VRs that you have enhanced with Proteus/Iris and that don't have the definition of others, you do a 30-second test with Rhea. In many cases, you will notice an improvement, and you may be interested in doing it with Rhea. But, very importantly, Sharpen at 100%.
Ok thanks, I'll try it in the next couple weeks and see if it justifies the extra resources.

There are some standalone with 8K and Micro-OLED...

The new Pimax Dream Air / SE (with 8K or 5K, around 1.500 euros).

MeganeX 8K
Are you planning on buying a new headset yourself?

Hmm, I don't know where you got the info that those headsets are standalone.

First the Pimax Dream Air. Yes it has Micro-OLED and is lightweight but for the standalone part you need an extra module called 'Cobb' and so far they have almost no information about this or I couldn't find much. Like it only appears in some FAQ so it dosen't even exist in this form yet and I have never seen them show it off. I have watched all their promotional video from Pimax about this headset (interesting for sure) and they never mention standalone a single time. They are heavily focusing on PC VR. You can't even buy the Cobb module yet and they aren't even saying when it will be released. It could takes years, who knows. So yes, in theory it might have a standalone option in the future but what would the interface look like? Which apps would run on it and so on and how good is the battery? Too many unanswered questions for me considering the price point.

In general I like how Pimax is pushing the industry and how they innovate and hit new price points with insane specs. But on the other hand I see every single customer of Pimax as some sort of early adopter and beta tester and you can see countless evidence of that from their customers on the internet. This is not what I want. I want a product that works out of the box and for the Dream Air standalone is an afterthought and not the main focus.

Now to the MeganeX 8k. Again, cool specs but where did you get the information that it runs standalone? I have found zero evidence for it or rather the opposite. This seems to me like a 100% PC VR headset.

It's a big f u to all of their customers. This shouldn't even be legal but well it's an American company so they can basically do whatever they want.

If the new Topaz Video releases any major improvements, I'll subscribe for a month fron time to time and improve my favorite VRs.
You have your 100% no-buy principle when it comes to VRs with girls that have tattoos or fake tits. It's the same for me when it comes to useless subscription models, DRM and so on. Topaz is not getting a single cent from me as long as they don't drop this subscription model nonsense.

Just bought and watched it and it's a pleasant surprise. For once SOD didn't fuck up anything. How is that even possible? But honestly I have nothing to complain about... Besides the good lighting, the angles are amazing and nothing is missing. First part is at night, second at daylight and both looks good. The movie is like 60% sex scenes and I think the shower scene was a good introduction but it's very short. To me Amiri looks good but I think only a few kilos less and it would look unhealty.

For fans of natural sweat it's a dream. For once no stupid water is sprayed but I think they increased the temperature in the room. Haven't translated it yet but she did complain that's too hot a few times.

Haha, just realized this actually has a very fun but cliched plot.

She can't afford to pay her rent so she moves in with you and offers to compensate you with... yeah, like it needs to be said... :haha:

Man, I wish scenarios like this actually happened instead of just in AV...
 
OK, VR wishlist time since I'm still keeping an eye on 2D JAV. Here's a couple of JAV newcomers who I hope to see will make the transition to VR.

Watanabe Hono
1759497643765.png
Ever wondered what Sasaki Saki would look like if she weren't so petite and had big boobs? Well, like her I suppose. She's so fresh her debut video isn't even out yet (13th Oct). This is a larger cup size than I normally care for, but if she looks like that... well...
VR Probability: Very likely. S1 has a track record of giving their big boobs girls a VR debut. Only a matter of when.

Hatsumi Nanoka
1759500395054.png

Yet another new addition to S1 but she's slim and quite pretty. There's potential here. Her 2D previews seems to suggest she's quite a good performer.
VR Probability: High. There's star potential here and S1 usually gives their girls a VR debut. Of course, they've also been known to totally waste their talent by letting Yuzuki Ria and Aizawa Miyu leave.

Ashida Noa
1759501149702.png

New tiny loli making her debut with Moodyz. Has inverted nipples. More cute than pretty but seems to have a fun personality. Would probably be great in VR - if we get to see her.
VR Probability: Low to medium. I'm not sure if she's actually signed with Moodyz. Quite a lot of girls that debut under the Moodyz Diva might make only 1 video and than disappear, possibly due to low sales. Hopefully won't happen here.

Kawaguchi Sakura
1759502561730.png
This one is actually signed to Moodyz. Already has two 2D titles so it looks like she'll be here to stay. Not the stunner that Mio is but still quite beautiful and also paipan :D. Smiles rather often during sex. Another girl with good potential.
VR Probability: Likely. Its only a matter of time but will have to see when Moodyz fits her into their release schedule.

Tanimura Nagisa
1759504107045.png

Kawaii found a fresh-faced cutie here but possibly quite unsuited for VR cos of how shy she seems to be.
VR Probability: Low. Kawaii does give new girls a VR debut fairly quickly but this one seems to want to go and hide after she takes off her clothes so...

Hmm, I don't know where you got the info that those headsets are standalone.

Well, the Pimax website says “everything integrated,” so I understood it to be standalone. I was convinced that the MeganeX 8K was standalone, my mistake.

I do want to buy an 8K headset, but I haven't seriously started researching yet. But my needs are the opposite of yours. I'm looking for a headset that can be connected to a PC via cable, without any intermediate software that compresses the image. I hate that. I hate Middle-man software, even more for something as unnecessary and critical as image.That's why my preferences are closer to the Pimax Crystal Super Micro-OLED, but they cost a fortune.

For me, one of the problems with all those minimalist standalone (or non-standalone) glasses is that they are very small and have a low FOV, and I have a high IPD, so I need a lot of FOV.
 
OK, VR wishlist time since I'm still keeping an eye on 2D JAV. Here's a couple of JAV newcomers who I hope to see will make the transition to VR.

Great new girls. My favorites are Watanabe Hono and Ashida Noa. :cinta:

I hope we'll have them soon in VR.
 
The Genius Knee party continues!! Now with S1, a new VR featuring the voluptuous Washio Mei!! :cinta: 98 minutes.

Another intimate date, this time with a different theme: Mei plays herself, she's a S1 porn actress and you're her amateur boyfriend, who knows little about sex, so she's going to teach you how to turn her on and make love to a porn star... :D

The VR looks great because it's going to be super immersive, but there's one thing I didn't like. In the trailer, the actor keeps touching her breasts all the time. I hope he's not going to have his hands on the screen the whole time in the movie...

Untitled 1.jpg
:mad::mad::mad:

If Genius Knee is now with S1, a whole new world of possibilities opens up... :lalala:

Am I the only one who has picked up on Shizuka? Yeah, single name only and of all the screen names she could have chosen she just had to pick the name of Nobita's crush from Doraemon haha. :shock2:

She has a number of VRs this year but I quite like her most recent one under SOD. 3DSVR-1819. Ain't exactly new but it was released only last month.

Plot is simple. She's a rental girlfriend. She even gets delivered to you completely naked in cardbox box so you have to unpack her first.
1759605692476.png

She's feeling a little shy from being naked so you lend her a t-shirt for a while. Don't worry, it doesn't really stay on for long.
1759605848663.png

She thanks you for the shirt than asks if its your first time using a rental girlfriend. She than gives you some ideas on what she can do, but hey... when you have a beautiful naked girl in your room for just a short while for which you must pay for her time, what else is a guy supposed to do with her?

That's right! *takes off pants*

"IRON THIS NOW WOMAN! AND DO THE REST OF MY SHIRTS TOO!"

Hey, I'm not joking. I would take her up on the cosplay suggestion and dress her up as a sexy maid. Than I'll make her do my laundry first before banging her.

But no, we decide to be boring and uncreative in this video and just get right down to business. Ah well...

So we start by giving her a massage which she appreciates cos she just spent so long being cooped up in a small box. Have to loosen her up for what comes next, see?
1759606413241.png

Apparently, we also picked the vibrator extra option and she brought one with her which we promptly use to limber her up even more.
1759606733130.png

The action than moves out of the box and onto the carpet where she than starts licking your nippled and giving you a blowjob, not going to screencap all that. Well, except for this shot. That's doing it right in VR. BJs should eventually transition to something like this so we have something more to look at.
1759607097521.png

That about wraps up the first clip, 2nd clip is sex all the way in various positions. But cowgirl is the only scene that is easy to get a decent screencap of in a VR video.
1759607646149.png

Yes, there is reverse cowgirl. We do get to see her ass again.
1759607757401.png

There's my fav position, F2F cowgirl which I won't screencap due to the distortion around the screen edges from converting 3D into 2D that makes the girl look weird in the head. But than she turns around and we do get a 2nd dose of reverse cowgirl at a different angle. Naisu...
1759607983339.png

Aww, she's so cute and pretty from this angle.
1759608108691.png

Up to this point, this title is doing everything right and would likely meet @Walle12 and @2dxxxisdead expectations, except I think you guys might not be so keen on the F2F missionary. Cos our POV guy seems to think we're running out of time and starts packing her back into the box and finishes her off in there. The sides of the box does mean we can't get too close to her so the F2F is a little further off than usual.

I don't mind this so much but this might break immersion for you.
1759608233644.png

She appears to have enjoyed the session just as much as you have and asks that you rent her again soon. Than you pack her back into her box to be returned. Don't we all wish we can get a girl like this delivered to us like that? I would probably go bankrupt from using this service waaay too much haha.
1759608714003.png

Overall, I would say this is a very enjoyable VR. One of the better ones from SOD this year.
 
She has a number of VRs this year but I quite like her most recent one under SOD. 3DSVR-1819. Ain't exactly new but it was released only last month.

Thanks for the review, it was funny.
I'm not a big fan of this actress, I don't know why. I don't connect with her. She's pretty, she has a nice body, and she's not a bad actress, although sometimes she seems absent, or like she's not feeling anything.

I watched that VR a few days ago, and it's okay. It's the kind of fantasy I can tolerate, it's funny. There could already be a service like that here in Europe... :P
I don't remember the missionary position in the box very well, but anyway, it's tolerable. Although I seem to remember that it was a bit short for me, or the actor didn't move the girl much, something like that. But anyway, as a SOD production, considering the movies they make, it's one of the best in terms of immersion.

Ah. I like this one a lot. Not that many girls in JAV meet my criteria for being considered beautiful. Shizuka is the latest addition into what is actually not that long a list considering all the JAV girls I follow.

When I find a girl beautiful, I tend to be quite forgiving the moment they get naked. Basically, if just looking at their face is enough to make me stupid, I get way dumber once their clothes are off. Like with Miyashita Rena. She's one of the worst performers in JAV. Still crazy about her. Girls on this list, I'm eagerly watching out for any VR or gravure that that they make, and would look for their 2D stuff provided its POV.

Let's see...who do I think is beautiful... Kawakita Saika. Ishikawa Mio. Miyashita Rena. Shizuka. Suzumori Remu (alas, stupid Prestige). Miyajima Mei. Mita Marin. Shirakami Emika. Sakakibara Moe. Itou Mayuki. Worse performers here are clearly Rena and Emika and I'm very forgiving of them. Mita Marin seems to be doing better these days. There's a certain something about Itou Mayuki's look now. Yes, I know she has had plastic surgery but that is the sort of face that when combined with that figure is able to ruin my underwear even when she's fully clothed, and its not like I even like big breast girls normally.

Dropped out of the list: Ozaki Erika (what did you do to your face?) Ono Rikka (preferred her natural look) Yagi Nana (too skinny now). Kuraki Hana (why did you dye your hair?) Asano Kokoro (tone down your make up already, looked amazing in first VR).

In consideration: Araki Noa. Aise Ria.

Yeah, Sasaki Saki isn't on that list. Imagine that, but we've never really seen her without her heavy makeup. Need to have seen a with lighter makeup, or even better - her natural face first. Some of the girls I have listed have actually done titles without makeup, notably Rena. Still so damned beautiful with the makeup off. I would say Saki falls under the same category as Matsumoto Ichika for me - kawaii. That's a different list altogether haha. If I think a girl is very kawaii, I also can be quite forgiving. But girls who make that list somehow are usually very good performers too.

I guess what they mean is that you don't need any external tracking devices like the Steam Index so that it works out of the box as a PC VR headset.

SIVR-445 October 11
Awesome, looking forward to it. I'm surprised you haven't commented on that they never show her ass in the trailer or pictures. I don't mind it that much and imo the best part about Washio Mei is, well...
sivr-445_tits.jpg
As you I hope the male actor keeps his hands to himself. I know it's hard considering what's infront of him, but cmon don't ruin it for us.

Am I the only one who has picked up on Shizuka?
Nope, I have commented on some of her releases in this thread like her Unfinished titles from early 2025 and VRKM-1515. She is very cute but has a rather reserved/less expressive personality. I like her even though I normally do prefer the more expressive upbeat girls like Suehiro Jun, Satsuki Ena or Mei Washio.

"IRON THIS NOW WOMAN! AND DO THE REST OF MY SHIRTS TOO!"

Hey, I'm not joking. I would take her up on the cosplay suggestion and dress her up as a sexy maid. Than I'll make her do my laundry first before banging her.

I agree, the story does disappoint and they could've done more with it. If you had a girl arrive in a cardbox like that it should play out differently. For how ridiculous the situation is she acts if it's totally normal 'oh yeah I'm naked and arrived in a cardbox, hello' like nothing out of the ordinary happend. SOD often does this, they have a crazy idea but never think about details or the plot that follows. The result is that it often turns out quite generic even though the premise is anything but.

Thinking about it VRs with this kind of plot in which the girl arrives in a cardbox either as themselves or as a sex robot always turn out rather boring or unimaginative. I think it's possible to make it interesting and erotic but for that you have to put in the extra effort and think more about how the plot should turn out and how the girl acts in this situation. Certainly nothing I would expect from SOD in 2025
hnvr00114jp-1.jpghnvr00025jp-2.jpg

Anyways the sex scenes are pretty good like you say. It has all the angles and some of them are well made. And well the missionary is also good considering that they do it inside the cardbox. Not my favorite VR or anything but I agree it's one of the better SOD titles from this year.

Still crazy about her. Girls on this list, I'm eagerly watching out for any VR or gravure that that they make, and would look for their 2D stuff provided its POV.

I completely agree, I feel the same way. There are quite a few actresses I like, and then there are 10 or 12 that I would fall in love with in real life. And I forgive them for a lot of things.
For example, Nana Kisaki and Miyashita Rena aren't good actresses, but I don't care too much because just looking at them is enough for me.
Sasaki Saki and Minase Akari have very visible cuts on their arms. With other actresses, I would rule them out, but with them I tolerate it because I like many other things about them.

And like you, with certain actresses, just looking at them or watching them in everyday scenes like eating or chatting is enough for me. That's one of the reasons I liked Mio's latest VR so much.
We've already discussed this, but I would buy VR gravure titles featuring them...

Ha ha, I didn't even notice... :P It's what I said in my previous post to Chewbaka, there are actresses I like so much that I'm willing to overlook certain things...

With Washio Mei, once I saw the cowgirl and missionary positions, I didn't notice anything else... She's an actress who makes two VRs a year, and she only has these two face-to-face positions in the previous one. And it was in a nurse's office, and the sex lasted 15 minutes... Here we're going to have 90 minutes...
I'm not worried, Genius Knee usually shows asses and backs in all his movies, so I hope he doesn't let me down in 98 minutes.

And well, although I have a reputation of butt lover (it's true :D), I also really like backs, although I'm not quite sure why...
I really like the seated cowgirl with her back to me, but ironically only SAVR does it, and a little bit Unfinished. Then they fail at everything else.

As you I hope the male actor keeps his hands to himself. I know it's hard considering what's infront of him, but cmon don't ruin it for us

I'm a little worried because the plot synopsis says that her erogenous zones are her breasts... So I think the actor is going to touch them more than necessary. Let's trust Genius' common sense and hope we don't have 40 minutes of the actor's hands on screen.

Interesting, Hanamori Kaho is no longer with Idea Pocket. We saw her recently in a trio with Kawaii, I thought it was a collaboration, but no, now she's releasing another VR with SOD. Both of her VRs are shot with the giant girl camera, so I'll finally be able to watch her at normal size...

I don't understand why Ideal Pocket let her go. I think she's beautiful and a good actress.

This SOD VR doesn't look bad. It has a good F2F missionary, but it only lasts 67 minutes, and I don't see the seated cowgirl anywhere, so I won't buy it until I confirm that it's included. It's SOD, so I don't have high hopes.

I have bought Ibuki Aoi's new VR (MDVR-357) and took a quick look at it. It's a blast, just like the previous Genius Knee titles, with one personal caveat.

It has TWO F2F cowgirl and TWO F2F missionary positions, something I've never seen before. All four are mega immersive:
Untitled 43.jpg

Although Ibuki seems serious in the movie, it's because of her role: she plays your ex-girlfriend, who is getting married, so she asks you for one last night of sex... :P
The plot tries to reflect the sadness of the farewell (and that she's going to miss your penis... :P

Ibuki will stick to your body in both positions... :cinta:

Untitled 1.jpg


Unfortunately for me, so many repeated positions means that there are none where you can see her ass or back up close... Only in doggie style, but from a distance...
Untitled 3.jpg


A little disappointed with this, Genius Knee. But hey, the F2F makes up for it.
However, the 8K image quality is rubbish. Less than 9 GB for a 1:40 minute movie.

By the way, strangely enough, the movie is promoted with these photos, but there is no trace of that outfit in the movie...:
Untitled 1.jpg

¿?


I'm surprised you haven't commented on that they never show her ass in the trailer or pictures.

Well, until Ibuki's VR, I wasn't worried. I was convinced it would include some shots of her enormous butt... But now I'm not so sure...

You're a man of taste! I'd add Mori Hinako (those lips and that smile!), Momo Sakura, and Minamo to your list - along with probably a dozen others!

Sadly, eventually an actress changes her looks or I just burn out on seeing her. For example, Tsubasa Hachino was my go-to girl for a while when I first discovered VR.

Hmm, I dunno. I remember what Mori Hinako looked like before the plastic surgery. I do agree that she looks stunning now. As in she knew what she was doing and didn't do whatever it is Ozaki Erika is trying for now. But strangely, I still prefer her original look. But anyhow, those balloon breasts kinda knocks her off the list. She's indeed one of the few who I'm still willing to watch despite enhanced breasts but I don't track her new VRs as much anymore.

Good point about Sakura Momo but the thing is she's consistently a sold performer which is why I never really think about her as just a beautiful face. Those on my list can be a little lacking at times but Momo usually never disappoints unless Idea Pocket themselves screw up her title.

Minamo is facially very attractive but I'm not just a face guy. I'm also very much a breast guy and well... I'm not completely against boob jobs even if I don't really like them. But whoever did Minamo's also apparemtly screwed up Momonogi Kana's.

Hey, as long as they stop using the kyojin kamera on her, that's an improvement on its own.

But on the bright side, since it looks like she has went indie than its only a matter of time before Unfinished do a title with her as well.

Edit: Oh wait, she already has her next lined up. SAVR-839 on 13 Nov. One of the hashtags is 中出し. That's nakadashi. So I went to take a look at her 2D titles and it seems like she even shot one with Madonna which confuses the heck out of me considering they normally work with older women.

Checked out her 2D titles and she has indeed started on nakadashi. So early in her career too. And with the old dudes at that. Are her sales doing that badly?

Oh look, SOD is doing some silly nonsense again. On one hand, I can appreciate the novelty. There's a place where I can get my dick washed by 6 girls? Hot damn, take all of my money now!

Theyre all big-breasted girls only? OK, not as keen anymore but I still won't mind I guess...

But wait, they don't ever take off their tops at all? Or even pull them to the side? Can't even see a hint of nipple? Than what, may I ask, is the bloody point of all this? I think I'll take my money elsewhere, thank you very much.

Kashiwagi Konatsu in a VR where I can't even see her breasts. Now there's a first. WTF is SOD thinking?
