AV9898 review

Overview:
Cute little Japanese girls have infiltrated the western world in the best and worst ways possible. Worst? Comic conventions - once the only place a true nerd could feel some miniscule level of power and influence - have now been overrun by anime, manga and those little plastic vinyl toys that don't even shoot or light up or anything. Best? Virtually everywhere on earth that has a decent population of young Japanese people also has a subculture of teen girls and young women who simply live for dressing up in adorable outfits and flirting with anything that moves.

Just when you thought these cuties had conquered all they could, they've taken over many parts of the Internet, too. One site that is going to great lengths to bring you some hot porn only starring girls from the Land of the Rising Sun is the peculiarly named AV9898. I assume the AV stands for Audio Visual but where 9898 comes from, I can't tell you. After entering your log in details, you'll be instantly hit with a main members' page that looks like it was torn straight from the pages of Fruits magazine. These girls flash peace signs, take showers, wear sailor suits and flash their adorable little smiles, all while taking a cock in the mouth, pussy or, occasionally, the ass. The site is available to view in both English and Japanese, which adds an air of authenticity to a type of site that easily comes across as some Midwestern dude's attempt at Japanese porn. The site's design is, however, very busy and rather confusing. Sure, it accurately reflects Japanese print and web media, but that doesn't necessarily make for easy browsing. Flashing logos, Japanese text and general clutter often forces you to spend more time than is ideal looking at a page, searching for links or attempting to figure out where your interests lie.

Two main menu sections will aid most of your navigation: one at the top of the page and one on the left hand side. The top menu holds links to the major sections, All Movies, All Girls, Exclusive, Promotion, Home and all support related avenues of inquiry. The left side menu focuses on the different kinds of content you'll find at AV9898, with different categories for different kinds of models and sexual activity. Apparently the variety of feminine forms range from 18 to mature, teacher, nurse and office lady, with some big tits and amateurs thrown in for good measure. The variety of fucking is equally diverse and covers everything from "no condom", anal, facial, anime and 69 to S&M, "implements", "in car" and "eat cum". Above these listings is a keyword search engine that will help to cut down the confusion of trying to find videos of big-titted MILF nurses eating cum (or whatever the hell you're into).

Clicking the All Movies tab from the top menu gives a list of, you guessed it, all the movies that are currently being hosted by AV9898. From the looks of it, a new video is added every day of the week. Once they're thrown online, this is the best place to find the newest additions as they're listed in a simple, yet informative, format. Model name, movie title, date added and genre keywords are all attached to each listing and clicking on "more" or the performer's image will bring you to that scene's page. Once there, you'll get some extra information as well as a couple of telling pics. There's a model profile section that gives such bizarre information as hometown, "3 size" (which I assume translates to "measurements"), hobby and blood type (?). You can also click on a link to find a list of all movies that performer has produced for the site.

Videos are available in two main format options; at least, they are most of the time. Occasionally you'll see a video link, beneath the tiny pics that represent the scenes, grouped together under the Downloads banner, with the words "Not available" written underneath. Clicking on an unavailable video will transport you back to the main members' page, so be sure to look closely and select the right video download. The movies that have unavailable content are almost always older ones that have been online for quite a while, since before AV9898 started adding higher quality videos. Anyway, the two main options are both in WMV format and hit resolutions/bitrates of 320x180/700kbps and 640x480/2000kbps. The 2000kb videos look quite nice but are not exactly pushing the limits of technological advancement, which is rather ironic for a site that hails from the world's most technologically advanced culture. The models here are so pretty it's a shame to not feature some High Definition (or even just higher resolution) videos to really showcase their cute faces, hot bodies and eager performances. Unfortunately it doesn't look like any of the downloadable movies show full scenes of the hot fucking. They're generally split up into two or three parts, and that causes more than a little frustration from time to time. Each scene runs about 20 or 30 minutes and is split into a new chapter each 10 or 11 of those. This lengthy running time is quite enjoyable and allows you to catch a glimpse into Japanese sexual culture.

The best thing about AV9898 is its authenticity. Many "Asian" porn sites are home to Asian-American women with Southern Californian accents, often making their content seem almost completely westernized. Here you're shown real Japanese girls fucking real Japanese guys in such a naked way that you're suddenly privy to the nation's hang-ups, fetishes and attitudes towards sex more so than even before in porn. Even if you're not watching the videos as stroke scenes, they're often very interesting from a sociological standpoint.

Membership to AV9898 will cost you $19.95 for each 30 days access. If you're supremely confident about finding this website to be completely satisfactory then you can even throw down a cool $53.95 for 90 days of non-stop Japanese fuck action. Sure, the price is reasonable, but is it worth it? Well, I'm about to tell you!

Pros:
- There are tons of adorable Japanese girls currently making AV9898 their online home. Now you don't need to save up $1000 to grab a flight to Tokyo.

- The videos are very entertaining and surprisingly interesting. If you're into real Asian porn, you'll love this stuff.

- The movies present a pretty intriguing look into Japanese sexuality.

Cons:
- Navigation can be a bit of a pain, largely due to the many banners still showing Japanese kanji, katakana and hiragana symbols instead of English letters, as well as the confusing, yet authentically Japanese, web design.

- No full scene downloads.

- Preview screencaps are very small and make it difficult to determine what happens in the scene.

- Some of the scenes are missing performer and movie information.

Conclusion:
If you're sick and tired of "Asian" porn sites offering 3rd generation Asian Americans whose only discernable connection to real Asian women is the tightness of their vaginas, then look no further than AV9898. With real Japanese gals getting naked and fucked for your viewing pleasure, AV9898 has a great authentic feel to it, all the way down to the Japanese language banners and some bizarre fetish content. With a monthly membership cost of only $19.95, you can't complain about the site's somewhat troublesome navigation and confusing design scheme too much, but it's worth noting that, even in Japan, technology isn't always as futuristic as you might think.
