What a great service a post like this is for JAV fans! Especially in the West, JAV can be so impenetrable in terms of understanding it for the relative newbie. Getting a historical perspective like this, and highlighting some of the really great films that came from these competitions, is super interesting and helpful. Thanks!!

Wow, I am blown away by the quality of films on this list! What a terrific compilation of Saeko's finest work. It is nuts to me that for such a relatively brief career, she has ten films her that are nothing in my book other than the 8.5-10 range!! I checked out her debut (SDSI-004) as well, and even from the very beginning she was not just drop dead gorgeous, but a solid (if not yet amazing) performer. She always seemed genuine, and generally enthusiastic, with her best performances when she leaned into slutty roles. She is missed!!

I have been a long-time fan of Pan and his takes/reviews, going back to the pre-Zenra days. Having said that, I have found our tastes diverging, particularly over the last couple of months. Granted, I have never been a Ultra boob kind of guy, particularly when that comes with a very pudgy midsection (hence, somebody like Julia is a bit of a unicorn), and I know that is Pan's jam. But it seems IMHO that there have been a fair number of pretty mediocre releases getting really high marks simply because a borderline BBW was the star. I guess to me this really is highlighted by all the 8+ ratings for Maria Nagai releases. In my eyes, she has both let herself go (I was a big fan of her figure up until a couple of years ago) and seems to be "phoning it in" on many performances. In particular, I checked out DASS-393, and I would have to stretch to give it anything above a 6. Not only did I find her performance flat to obviously fake, but the whole production seemed uninspired with at times terrible pacing. Not meaning to be overly negative here, but highlighting what I perceive to be what could be an overly soft for BBW actresses like Maria. Anyway, I appreciate all the great content you produce, and what fun would it be if everyone agreed on everything?

Compliments for highlighting a JAV actress who I think flew too far under the radar. Ichika might not be the most well-endowed actress, but the enthusiasm in her performances more than made up for it from my perspective! I actually prefer a fit, tight, lean body type as opposed to the ultra-huge boobs/flabby body archetype that is so popular with JAV enthusiasts. An excellent list! I am particularly fond of her work with Chijo Hebun, as I think they tend to get the most randy of JAV performances. And CJOD-366 is especially awesome, as I am a huge Sumire fan (what a smile!!) But I also agree on DVDMS-797 as being an all-time great for Ichika, who looks awesome in a schoolish uniform! Nice work!!

Here, here!! I really love this top ten list by Syndrome. First of all because I am one of those people who find the bookwormish glasses look quite hot. But secondly, I thought the suggestions from top to bottom actually represented the best of the genre. I had been disappointed with previous "top 10" lists from syndrome for other genres because it felt like picks 4-10 were actually in many cases below average films, rather than the best of the specific genre. It seemed more like he was trying to show the full range of films out there, rather than culling through the dross and highlighting the gold. So this was a welcome breath of fresh air on that front. While I actually found myself thinking some of his bottom tier picks were as good or better than his top choices (I actually preferred both #9 SPLY-005 and #8 IPZ-313 to any of the top three choices), that is a relatively small quibble. The point is that these were generally all great examples of the genre and led me to seek out some films of which I was unaware. Thanks!!
