Maniac Pass Network is an AVS Network of over 342+ hosted sites and has been around since approximately Oct. 2005 (about a year now). $29.95 per month gets you access to all sites worth over 350+ full-length DVD's that stream as high as 1200k. From amateur to tranny, big tits to big cocks, lesbians, pregnant, pornstars, strapons and matures, you'll find a nice selection of fetish sites to check out. Unfortunately no single or even handful of sites stands out for this one, but it's hard not to admit that such a broad selection of multi-site access offering hardcore sex content is a definite plus.
The Good:
- I didn't do the counting, but there are indeed a ton of sites here to check out. All are accessible from the main members area by category using a drop down menu: amateur, anal, BDSM, bi-sexual, big cock, big tits, cumshot, ethnic, fat, femdom, fetish, foot, hairy, handjob, hardcore, interracial, latex, lesbians, lingerie, mature, party, pornstars, pregnant, strapon, teen, tranny, uniform, voyeur, etc. $29.95 for so many sites and over 350+ lengthy DVD's is one hell of a deal.
- Sites offer full-length scene streams as high as 1200k, so even though it's not perfectly top quality, it is still very nice. Scenes are also offered in parts with an option for low of high quality downloads/streams.
- A main member's area makes getting around and back again rather easy. I don't remember having to enter my password in a bunch of times either, which is a major plus. There's a keyword search feature too, but not much else.
The Bad:
- Overall nothing really stood out here too much. Just a whole lot of general and mostly non-exclusive content covering a variety of niches. And comparatively, as far as AVS sites go, Maniac pass is actually on the smaller side.
- There is no clear update schedule and none of the sites date stamp their content either. Some sites can be rather small and I have no idea which update and when.
- None of the content offers anything in the way of descriptions, model information, nothing. Likewise, browsing the sites in general is very simply set-up without any kind of stand-out features.
The Conclusion:
It was clear from the get-go and even more evident in the end, that Maniac Pass Network is one nice-sized archive of DVD content without all the bells and whistles that one might expect from a more convenient & organized paysite. With that said, Maniac Pass is also a lot larger than a standard paysite, offering over 340+ sites under one roof for a clean $29.95 per month. The video quality is pretty good, but there's definite room for growth in that area as well as many others. That basic concept here is good, but things need some freshening up a bit as some of the content looks quite dated.

It's not very often we see new AVS sites popping up, and in fact, I'm not sure it's a model that's working very well these days, so it's nice to see that Manic Pass has continued adding sites (content), with the total number approaching 600 (563+) and the total number of videos is up to over 4,780+. The main member's area continues to support getting around fairly easy overall, and I even found some very nice quality videos throughout. Although Manic Pass could still stand to beef up some of its options, I'm happy to see the positive direction.
Score increased from 78.5 to 79.5.

Maniac Pass is one AVS that continues to grow consistently each time we visit, giving member's access to more than 816+ sites for a total of 3,431+ videos and around 60,000+ images. New browse features have been added since the last time we were here, including a keyword search feature, movie search by category, studio or actor, age, fetish, location, or action, etc. And maybe I didn't notice this last time, but they've made it easy to see what's new and what's going to be added next along with date stamps for content in the main member's area. I don't see this change reflected on any of the individual sites, but I'm still happy to see it somewhere nonetheless. Video bitrates are looking up to, with streams up to 2500k. This is an all around grade A effort from Maniac Pass, and definitely a move in the right direction.
Score increased from 79.5 to 81.0.
