JP18 offers up "the finest Asian XXX videos on the net" according to their tour. I'm not sure if the girls are really all Japanese or not, but that's the theme they're going for. The tour is pretty basic with some thumbnails from their video scenes, but not really a ton of info. They do promote daily updates, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out once inside. Membership is $30 a month, which is on the high side, but pretty typical when compared to other similar sites out there.
The goods:
- Videos look good. They come in two formats, either MPG or DivX, and both look pretty decent, as expected. You can check out the specs we list, which are usually in the 720x480 and 2000kbps+ range currently, to get an idea of what you'll see here.
- Nice niche content. Everything obviously stays in the Asian niche, right down to the (barely visible) blur they try to put on the action. You can see right through it, so that's not a big deal. Scenes range from solo in the shower to threesome, and everything in between.
The bads:
- Navigation could be better. They break things down into a few different categories, but there's not much organization beyond that. They only put a few scenes per page, which makes for a lot of clicking. I'd love to have a place you can see all the content in chronological order, as well as a search engine maybe.
- Updates slower than expected. They do update daily, but it's only one of 10 parts from one scene. So that means you get about two minutes of new video a day, and the full 20 minute scene takes about a week and a half to get fully added. I'm not sure how often they start new scenes, as that seems to vary a lot for some reason.
- Video download links are hidden for me. For some reason, the links to actually download the video are coming in as white text on a white background. I couldn't see them at first, but you can tell where they are. That's a very weird problem!
Conclusion:
This is a pretty basic Asian video site, and it's very standard all around. The one thing they're really missing compared to other similar sites is a huge collection. They're not small, but they're not huge either. Other sites have hundreds of full DVD's, where JP18 has just 130+ scenes up (maybe 30 DVD's?). They have some growing to do, but otherwise the site is good enough for what it is I'd say.
