I agree with lk2, the videos are short, but for the most part much more well done than other sites. And it is a small site, but I'd say their percentage of quality is far superior than most super-sites. The lowest bitrate I saw for the HD videos I downloaded was 6000 kbps, with many being more than 10000 kbps, which is decent enough.
I think, for the most part, they are about the right length, perhaps a little short, but it is nice to be able to download a high quality video for a few hundred MB instead of a GB or more.
The scene lengths are pretty variable, looking through what I have the HC scenes varied from 4-13 minutes (I'd say 10 or so seems most common) and the SC/Les scenes are equally variable, 5-10 minutes typically. Also some models, particularly the older scenes, don't have videos, but you can see that from the preview.
yeah, i'm sure some would disagree with the score given a lot of folks seem to complain about the short sets and short videos, but I think the site is pretty decent.

Pros:
-Beautiful ladies from all over
-Good photography and videography
-Good download speeds
-Download managers work
-No DRM
-Zip downloads of photosets
-Decent navigation, model index, and update index, model ratings.
-Photo quality is decent, typically available in three sizes (1200, 2000, 4000)
-Videos are not huge (edited, yay!)
-Video quality is decent (960x540 3500 kbps SD, 1920x1080 16000 kbps HD) SD is pretty crips, HD is very nice. Either Quicktime or wmv.
-3 updates per week, has been very consistent since I've been here
Cons:
-Smallish site, 99 models at time of review with typically a couple of photosets per model, not as many of the models have videos - maybe 50% or so.
-Photosets can be short, espicially older sets. Although, in some cases this could be seen as a positive if they removed duplicates and whatnot.
-Videos can also be short, which is probably a con for some, but for the post part I consider it a good thing.
-No bonus content
-No real forum, but you can post comments on sets and there is a blog.
-A lot of toy use in the softcore sets, and not stripping to speak of, many sets start out pretty much nude.
Bottom Line:
Overall I think this site is pretty decent. The models are very attractive for the most part and I like the mix of hardcore and softcore materails on a site that focuses a little bit more on eroticism. I definitely like the style of the shoots. I could see how some might complain that the sets are too short of the vidoes are edited pretty substantially, however I find this quite refreshing. Most sites these days post ridiculously long videos with too many closeups and way too much repetitive or unnecessary material (that just ends up wasting hard drive space or wasting my time editing the crap out). So in my opinion it is nice to see a site where they appear to be attempting to trim the sets to the material they think is best.
My main complaint with the site is that it still a little small, and has no bonus content. However, for the price with the PU discount, I think the site is definitely worth joining for a month if you are into well photographed, athletic, young women.
The mix of hardocre and midcore is nice, it would be nice to see a litttle more stripping in the midcore/softcore sets, and given that they have models from all over the place a little more ethnic diversity might be nice as well. While I did like their hardcore material, if this is the only thing you are looking for, this site probably isn't worth joining as there isn't that much of it.
Bottom line for me, with the decent price, I found this site to be worth joining, probably just for a month every now and again, but definitely worth considering.
Is all the material from their old site Beauty is Divine on this site as well, or just some of it? Looking at the preview it seems as though perhaps not...

Pros:
-Decent sized collection, 954 main movies plus some hantai movies and 276 "hot girls movies"
-Attractive ladies
-Most scenes are uncensored
-Download speeds are decent (I got 1.7 MB/s) typically
-Video quality is acceptable, but not great, 1300 kbps avi, but reasonably crisp
-Decent navigation, scenes are categorized reasonably well
-Photos are good quality, although not a huge collecton
-No DRM
-Did not encounter any download limit
-DL managers work
Cons:
-No zip downloads of photos
-Movies are very long (often 100 minutes or so) and quite large given quality, would be nice if they split the DVDs up a bit
-Content is not exclusive, it is mostly DVD content, some of which might be available elsewhere
-Very little in way of scene preview, just boxcover and in some cases just the front
-Photo collection is small
-No bonus content, rating system, or forum, search function while present was not particularly useful.
-No streaming
-Use an odd biller
Bottom Line:
Overall I think this is an above-average site, and they have a lot of positives. I have found that many Japanese DVD sites suffer from the same afflictions, and this site is no different.
While the DVDs are typically of one actress, it may make sense to put the whole thing in one video, it would be nice to split it up by scene. Zip downloads would also be a nice feature for the photosets, and I wouldn't mind a few more of them. A more in depth preview, or in-browser streaming would also be nice given the size of the files.
Like with all sites of this niche, expect to see some material that might be considered "odd", with many scenes being a bit more on the humiliation side. Also, due to the lack of good scene previews, I would expect to delete a larger than average percentage of what you download.
It is nice to not have the mosaic, but I must admit that the model quality in censored videos on sites like JSex seemed to be much higher - but perhaps I am just downloading the wrong scenes.
Decent site, worth joining if you are into this style of porn, but even given JSex's obvious drawbacks I would probably recommend it above this site.
Is this true? there are several sites that state they have uncenssored av idols. jheat lists many that have done uncensored. just curious, what exactly classifies an av idol?
yeah, but based on those comments I would be hesitant to join their sites until I hear otherwise! Hopefully someone will take the plunge and update us sometime soon...
If you haven't joined yet, I might just wait and see if they offer network access by month again, seems to me as they did a while ago and then it disappeared - perhaps it will come back soon. I think deiselman probably has mixed feelings about this place, he seems to get quite defensive when people mentioned non-exclusive content.
18only is not an exact duplicate although there is a fair amount of overlap, for a while it seemed as though they'd put the video on one site and the photoset on the other, although I don't know if that is still the case. As far as the size of the site, it is pretty large, so 326 pages may be accurate.
I totally agree they have some of the most attractive ladies on any site out there, nice to hear the photos are improving. Perhaps I will have to check it out again soon, although I was planning on waiting a while longer...
While I generally like this site, like rearadmiral, I can see where you are coming from as a photo lover (I have been in a video phase lately). Most of the photo sets I have saved are average, like you mentioned some are just vidcaps - which is sort of pointless to even post on a site in my opinion.
Welcome to PU, looking forward to hearing more from you.
As I said to you before dieselman, I enjoy your site, but I am curious when you say 95% exclusive do you mean this year or the site in total? I am a bit dubious of that figure if you are talking about the entire site.
In my opinion most of their newer material appears exclusive. I do remember seeing a few scenes that looked familiar, but most of it didn't. Perhaps I'm just not getting around enough though...
If you click around a bit you can find thumbnails of most of their material, I'm not sure that you can get any additional trailers though aside from checking out sites that aren't supposed to be mentioned here.
It is a decent site, if you've never been on the network may be worth paying the $10 extra to get the whole network.
Really wish I had caught this dispute earlier, so I could have joined in on the fun. I think Denner's points about content may be exaggerated, but there is a lot of material on your sites that is available elsewhere. I highly doubt your 95% statement, unless perhaps you are only counting material in the last few months. Which of your sites are still active, seems as though you show 9 having been updated in the last few months.
Your "upgrade" options are a bit odd, to ask those that joined the full network to pay extra when a new site is added seems a bit odd (although apparently this was resolved at some point, it is still an odd thing to do, unless it was an accident).
I like your sites, and like your content, it is much improved in my opinion since I posted my review. But, any percieved misleading practice is always going to draw the ire of PUers.
Nice review lk2, I agree it is a decent site. I should probably update my old review at some point because the score is much lower than I think it deserves, perhaps next week.
Just wanted to add for others that I never had any download problems here, was typically getting 1MB/sec or more using DTA. Never tried any other managers though.
Nope, haven't contacted support yet. I have a bunch of Gloria content already, and looking at the preview I am not so sure it is worth the effort. I'm really lazy.
