I miss Cali Logan at peak hotness 🙁

Saw what your government did recently with blocking 800+ sites and it really stinks. There might be some clues on how to proceed in this article:

So glad you are putting these up, Valik. Your site was very influential on us. RIP Niki Lee Young!

Cali Logan is one of the best performers of all time and is hot as hell. Beautifu lady, works with so many, hires so manyl!!! The genre has been so lucky to have her.

When did anyone ever say she wasn’t hot? Just don’t think she is in her physical prime and several others agree. Nothing wrong with that…she can still make good stuff.

If you think she is in her physical prime then thats good for you. Enjoy it.

You’re welcome,I hope you order and enjoy. Feel free to post your review

Hi dkm,

Thanks for inquiring. Francesca had to step down due to health issues – I do miss working with her. Hope you like Stacy – she’s great and brings something to the table as well!

Although I enjoyed this, I’d like to see a female villain in future releases. Is this something that is likely to happen?

Question: Do you think that it is case that Zen/Giga’s quality has gone down or is it more the case that Western producers quality has gone up over the years and Zen/Giga has just sort of stagnated?

I’m more of a fan of the latter to be honest and here’s why.

There are some things that Zen/Giga do better and have always done better than their western counterparts. They tend to have better stunts involved. Their locations are very expansive and exotic. Their films are nearly three times longer which allows them to tell a more movie like story (I’ll say that length isn’t necessarily better though). The Japanese market also seems to be largely in a healthier place than Western counterpart in no small part to the fact that they have an extremely restrictive DRM which in turn makes them have more space to try more novel concepts and ideas. They also have a lot more interesting special effects.

What they don’t do better is that their fight choreography largely sucks. Well sucks is not the right word to use. More like very simplified so you end up with a lot of same moves in the same movie and with (IMO) very simple edits and cuts which exacerbates the problem. And it’s a very strange dichotomy that exists there because they (Zen and Giga) do have better stunts. I’ve seen HEROINES flying across the room in some of their movies but their fight choreography tends to be more about action than necessarily peril especially in Zen pictures. Western producers know the length of time and right camera angle to both produce a realistic looking hit and to focus on the heroine’s expression of pain. This is something NGC does EXTREAMLY well as it’s their bread and butter and many of the top producers in Western market do this really well. Zen seems to just focus on realism a lot of the time.

There’s also the fact that to my knowledge none of them are shooting in 1080p. I don’t even think they are shooting in 720p which is basically the lower bound of what’s acceptable in todays Western market. I look at the preview pictures for this film and I can’t tell a substantial difference between it and a favorite film of mine from Giga that was released in 2009(!). And I’m kind of exaggerating there but really I’m also not if you get where I’m coming from.

Its those two things (fight choreography and video output) that are really major drivers of what I consider ‘quality’ which may or may not be fair. For the western producers the special effects if anything has decreased a lot over the years and really hasn’t improved that much from six years ago. A couple top notch producers have, from what I’ve noticed, just used one location for shooting their movies. Length of the films is kind of all over the place yet if you ask me if a film from 2018 is ‘better’ in terms of quality from a film in 2010 I would say 100% yes. I cannot say the same about Giga/Zen films.

So that part about producers and learning what their markets want is a very good point and something that I should have mentioned but failed to. It could very well be the case that Western productions have just become very good at catering to their western audiences while the Japanese have become very good at catering to their Japanese audiences and the venn diagram where these two intersect has diverged so far that it’s largely non existent or really really small.

And yes I was comparing Giga extremely restrictive DRM to no DRM at all. For me, I download all of my SHIP films to an external hard drive, hook that hard drive up to my PS4 and then watch everything on my TV through PS4 media player. The whole DRM thing Giga (and R18 incidentally) has going for it completely restricts that which honestly has prevented me from purchasing many of their products. Why watch a film on a semi decent small computer screen when I can get the full glory of it on a large screen at 1080p?

I agree I don’t like most of Giga’s releases. That label focuses on sexual torture, usually of the vibrator variety, which doesn’t really do it for me. Every couple of years they do put something out with a good heroine torture scene. I think the last one that did it for me was Miki Sunohara in “Dark Wizard Guiltickers” which had a real good AOH whipping scene of the heroine.

Giga and Zen in the past did have some models who could stunt fight well, like Sara Azakawa in Space Special Agent Ami and, IMO, Yui Aikawa in Masked Seductive Heroine. But you may be right that in the last few years they’ve focused more on those who just need to be able to do sex scenes instead of the action scenes also.

From what I see from Giga and Zen having purchased a couple of movies in the past year is that DRM is needed for higher quality playback, but the streaming player gives you an option to download a low-res (640×368) copy.

You mean the pixelated censorship for Giga videos? I guess that can prevent some buyers but for me it doesn’t affect it as I’m more about the heroine peril/torture scenarios instead of the sex scenes when I do find the occasional video that has a scene of interest for me (and is not too crazily priced).

Darkwrath makes salient points. I’ve only been watching Zen/Giga for maybe five years, but their quality has indeed stayed about the same whereas various Western producers’ qualities have gone up and also proliferated. My favorite series from the Japanese producers have been Leona and Spandexer. I really like the Spandexer theme song! And yes, it’s a mystery to me why there aren’t more producers like them in Japan, at least that we know of?

Great review Mav! But I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, ( well, at least I’ve mentioned this to you in private messages Mav )it’s really too bad that Zen/Giga DO NOT make custom videos! And that’s totally sucks!!

True. What I was kinda getting at was that I’m lazy and don’t want to go through that hassle. It’s already kind of out of the way disconnecting my external drive from my main computer to connect it to my PS4. Asking me to plug a VGA connector from my TV to my computer, choose the right output setting and all that is a bridge too far……………

I’m really lazy at times. I’m not proud.

A full version is something I think is something that producers like to do if they can for their viewers or if it is requested enough from frequent buyers. It isn’t something I would expect to see but still sometimes hope for if the story has many elements I really enjoy watching. This particular video doesn’t have much of what I enjoy in this first part so I and hoping there will be a few more in the next one, besides not having my favorites it still looks very interesting and different than what ms Pierce usually releases and if anyone enjoys what they see in this part should definitely give a purchase and view.

I am really annoyed by producers like Anatasia and Kendra James. They are always releasing parts before releasing the full video. Sometimes they wait months or years in a few cases before releasing the full video. I have no interest in buying parts. I want the full video. There is no reason to make us wait for part 2 of a video. They normally charge more for parts than the full video. Why would I want to buy part 1, part 2, and then the full video? That’s illogical and greedy on their end.

I don’t follow Marvel. I have no idea what you are referring to about Infinity War.

I only buy full videos that I want. Prices are never an issue in SHIP. I have never seen an outrageous price from any ship producer. It does not make sense to buy all the parts and the full video. Why would I spend $50 for two parts and six months later the full video is released for $40? Stores normally sell parts at higher prices than full videos even if they release the parts and full video on the same day.

Would still pay parts’ combined prices for a video. If the parts cost $50 together than I would be happy to pay $50 for the full video.

Common Sense Tip: You can skip parts in a full video to go to the part you want to watch at the moment.

I understand not everyone can afford a full video, and parts help customers on a budget. A full video should be available for customers willing to buy it.

Real Fact About Porn: I purchased custom videos from producers and they will give me the FULL VIDEO. Then, they will release parts at their stores and will eventually release the full video later that week or in two weeks. Full videos are typically ready and some studios try to milk as much money out of customers as possible.

If I only had parts for all of my videos then I would have thousands of files and I don’t think anyone would want 1,000 to 2,000 files of parts (some companies release up to 6 parts).

Thank you so much for both the good and the bad feedback, glad to be receiving your opinions.

First thank you for the tummy comments. I guess I need to show you more often that part of my body!

You wont have to wait long for part 2 it is going to be release in just a few days , on Friday. I am not charging extra for two parts. $1/min like most producers on all my stories. I just find it easier sometimes to release stories over 20 min in two parts over two weeks. For several reasons.

Mostly because It takes me lots of physical time to work on movies editing, special fx, titles, previews, etc. by splitting a longer movie in half. It gives me more time to work on the movie. It is time consuming and I mostly do all of it myself so I need the physical time to work on them.

Also in two parts (which by the way are released within 7 days, not months) I get to showcase more aspects of the movie then I would in one release. Two previews get created for different parts of the movie that showcase the different scenes and attract different viewers geared towards different subjects.

I usually always end up releasing the full version later on at a discounted price. Just like hollywood movies. You pay less for a movie rental several month later that a new release at a theater. I hope this gives you some understanding of the process. It is not meant to annoy you. And if you want to watch the movie in full just wait for the second week and watch it all together and binge like a Netflix season.
Thank you for watching my movies, I really appreciate you all!!

Talk to you soon,
Anastasia

Doesn’t look hot but it does look like an interesting comic book movie.
It’s amusing that the Rye Ms. Marvel is right beside this Ms. Marvel update. Quite the contrast in uniform, as has to be expected between the niche and the mainstream. Still…

I have to say, I didnt like this costume at first but this preview makes it looks pretty fantastic, secondly I have to say, The original Ms Marvel Costume was the best in my opinion

I’m completely on board with this costume…I’ve always been quite happy for a heroine to be in a non-sexy costume. It just makes it all the sexier (or degrading) when you get them out of it…

Bored as fuck is more like it. She has no real facial expression in any of her publicity photos. She doesn’t look excited about the role the way Ruby Rose was excited about playing Batwoman. I’ll reserve judgement overall, since there are probably a lot of other aspects to this movie that may make it worth watching. But Brie Larson might very well not be one of them.

I’m loving the look of some of the releases from ms Pierce as well. One I’m looking forward besides this one is a few movies that she filmed in French, aside from that I was wondering what might be released next Superheroines related. I kind of wish that the first half of this was filmed with the batgirl costume on, similar to ms Carter’s recent films, I want to say honestly. But I do love what is featured here.
