1. Not too expensive.
2. Some (easy-to-find) exclusive sets.
3. Loads of content to see.
4. Good update schedule.
1. More exclusive content is always good!
2. Design could be improved as well.
3. Getting around is a bit of a pain.

The title Moon Angel doesn't do much to express what type of site we're getting into here. I thought, at first, that we'd be checking out a single-girl site of sorts. If you only take a quick glance at the warning page to find the enter link, you might still have that assumption. It's actually just a content-driven site that has "unmatched quality photography and videography featuring the world's most sexiest asian women." Nevermind any grammar or spelling problems, the pictures on the front look pretty nice.
Once in the member's area, the site isn't much to look at. With the black background and mostly text throughout, it's a bit confusing at first where you need to head. Basically you need to pick a category from the menu on the left. It's pretty easy to tell which are exclusive sections and which are just random content from different providers at least. I don't really like having so many categories, especially when I don't know what the real difference between a lot of them are.
Once you do go looking for a gallery, you'll see that each one has a short description, title, date, and user rating. Once in the gallery, you can also rate it if you so desire. The actual pictures are usually pretty large, with the longer side ranging from 1000-1200 pixels for the most part. Quality is pretty good, especially in their exclusive section (though I didn't care for the airbrushing I saw there). There are also zip files available if that's something you like. Overall I was most impressed with just the size of the collection here, with over 1700 photosets up. It's also cool that you can just browse their exclusive galleries, which are pretty clearly labeled.
Videos usually come in both MPG and Windows Media Video options. Both are usually around 320x240, and 600-700kbps. Quality is good, not horrible and not fantastic. I appreciate that they all come in full-scene options, though no clips are available if that's what you prefer. The videos can be a bit boring at times if they're just showing a photoshoot, but others were meant to be videos are feature more action.
They seem to post something new almost every day, which is nice to see. The cost of $25 a month isn't too bad for the amount you get, but it's a little weird that there are no recurring options available. As far as extras go here, there aren't too many. Thankfully the content they have more than makes up for that. Overall, I'm surprised I like it as much as I do. The site itself isn't too impressive, but the numbers look good. I'm also pleased they have some content of their own here, which definitely adds value. Not a bad choice for a quick Asian fantasy fix.
