Zenra provides a solution to a common problem. If you love Japanese porn but don't speak the language, they provide English subtitles. But they also go a step further by giving you information outlining the ins and outs of life in Japan, so you can understand the cultural context of the scenes, too. It is a truly enriching experience and a very original concept for a porn site.
You're basically getting scenes from DVDs. Given that most of the 1,119 DVDs have 3-5 scenes each, you're getting about 4500 scenes. The bit rates vary, but over 1,500 are in HD or Full HD - there's no indication of the resolution before you download them. Zenra strongly recommends using Chrome or Firefox for streaming and the max resolution I found for that is 720p.
You'll appreciate that every scene indicates whether or not it has subtitles, if it's in HD, if it's uncensored, and if it's exclusive. Now, the use of the word "exclusive" here doesn't mean that they produced it themselves, but it does mean that they have the sole rights to it in North America, which is pretty cool. There's also the option of ordering a custom Asian porn video if you're interested.
The current top DVD is "The Wife Swapping Game First Half" and it plays out like a reality television show, complete with a cute female host. She interviews the couples and the swap occurs with the two newly shuffled pairs having sex in the same room. It's fun to watch them cast side-eyes mid-fuck to see how their spouses are faring with their new partner.
The blog will help you stay informed on the latest adult reviews, news, and gossip from the world of Japanese porn. There's also a tab with a glossary of JAV (Japanese Adult Video) terms and another with a complete directory of Japanese studios, including active and inactive producers.
They add a few DVDs every week, which means you'll often have a dozen new scenes to watch. You can browse a selection of top-ranked scenes from the last month and the previous months going back a full year. Other browsing options include by category or studio or if you're feeling adventurous, go with "random." There are tags and a basic search, too.
There's an alphabetical model index and each girl's profile has a couple of basic stats along with links to their social media and personal websites if any. The Shoutouts section is where some of the girls have recorded messages for their fans.
Zenra creates their subtitles in-house, making it easier for you to follow along. Also unique and done in-house are the scene descriptions. You're not just getting a few bland sentences. These expanded entries serve as "a 'naughty' Wikipedia-like entry" that satisfies multiple criteria:
The FAQ is the best place to find assistance if you have any issues. It includes everything from how to play a video to instructions on accessing the site using a VPN. If you don't find your answers there, you can contact them using an online form.
There's a separate page to cancel and while they can help you retrieve your info, you'll have to go through your biller to complete the process. They do want to know why you're leaving, though, and before the cancel page, there's a questionnaire, but you don't have to answer it.
As with all the porn sites we review, our team is here to assist you if you're stuck. It's also worth mentioning that Zenra's team is very responsive to feedback and takes the time to reply to those who post comments on our review page.
There are no custom playlists or favorites and the collection could probably use both. Although you have a couple of Japanese categories like Newhalf (trans ) and Onsen (hot springs), others like Bukkake and Schoolgirl are missing. You have no way to give feedback on the DVDs or scenes. When you browse the ranked scenes, the order is based on what the site's writers assigned them rather than users.
Although you can download the full DVD in many cases, usually only the individual scenes have subtitles. And because the content is from Japan, usually the genitals are pixilated. The government even requires it even for hentai and manga (adult toons). Of course, some fans will appreciate getting authentic Japanese porn in its unaltered state. For those annoyed by the blurry bits, 200+ scenes carry the Uncensored tag.
The different memberships can be a bit confusing, so I'll break it down for you. You can also get help in the FAQ. Those who select the "download + streaming" option can download and stream the movies without an Exclusive tag and stream the films with the tag.
The "exclusive" DVDs can only be downloaded by subscribers who request a free VIP upgrade available to those on 90-day subscriptions or monthly subscribers for three or more consecutive months. Ideally, the process would be automatic. Still, if you choose to upgrade, they will process your request within hours of receiving it, so any delay is minimal.
Something else worth noting is that all subscribers are limited to 10GB worth of downloads per day and you'll need to be mindful because they combine both downloads and streams. Subscribers who repeatedly reach the limit may find additional restrictions on their membership.
Expect to receive both an erotic and cultural JAV porn viewing experience. You won't have to worry too much about pixelation and you'll be able to understand the dialogue. It's a bit pricey, but the already hefty library increased with more films in high-quality formats. And updates have remained frequent. Zenra is a top destination for authentic porn from the Far East that includes well-researched subtitles and scene descriptions.

From reading the reviews on here I was aware of the 10GB download limit. What I failed to understand was that Zenra counts streaming as downloading, so 10GB does not go very far. I am not sure how they calculate download volume but today after streaming just video of under 20 minutes I was told that I had exceeded my limit. Another issue is that so many of the videos are not available for download with a 1 month subscription. I have been a member of quite a few sites and this is the first to have such restrictive content and download volume. I do enjoy some of the content but this is too expensive for what you can actually access. I am very disappointed, Be sure that you understand what you are getting before paying up. I would not have signed up if I had known how restrictive the download titles and volume aepre.

No problem with the quality or the navigation. But is is far from 2000 movies, rather 300 hundred. But since they have cut all movies in to 20 minutes pieces it looks like a lot more. Without the 3 month subscription is not worth it. It is almost nothing there without the exclusive option and you need to contact the support to have them unlock and that takes one extra day to wait for. Uncensored is less than 50. I would not have waste my money if I would have known what I know now. Timodjin

Japanes porn is beautiful and Zenra gives it that fillip that makes a hardon actually start to drip. I am not a member yet but have watched their sub titled porn snippets. And they add value. I have lived in Japan for a few years and have experienced their massage parlours a few times. Though termed as a Gajin, very many let me due to my persisitence. The Japanese massage videos, particularly the gir girl girl variety are beautiful, but watching them, i have often wondered what the masseuse is saying . But Zenra adds the sub titles and suddenly there is magic. On visiting Zenra, I am confused what I can see with 1 month streaming subs. Can I see all videos and download a few? A response will be helpful

First thing I do not subscribe to porn sites however I made an exception for Zenra.net. I'm studying Asian cultural sociology; Korea, China, Japan are my current focus. Here is what I like about Zenra: Eclectic selection of subjects and categories, from weird to common place. I also appreciate captions in English. Though for the most part it's straight forward and easily figured out. I'm utilizing Lesbian catagories. Why? Studying women on women from different Asian cultures have similar undercurrents as to why. Dominant, unfeeling, unaware males tend to influence women to test lesbian waters, some stay and some don't, but they have experienced same gender sex so they have an opportunity. Will you be my lesbian friend series is insightful and I appreciate the AV models confess to using fraud as enticement. Yes I know these are staged, it's still interesting to study. The other Lesbian category are Hot Springs vacation series. The interviews before is along the lines of what I'm searching to understand. These conversations provide many hidden insights into personal initiative for testing same gender waters. It's enlightening and original, unscripted and meaningful. I'd love to see a video of first timers being interviewed after a few weeks to measure social changes, i.e. did their friends notice a difference in their behavior? Has it affected their life in a positive or negative way. So far these kinds of interviews don't exist except for 20 year later discussions and they aren't Asian either. What I don't like about Zenra, actually it's not Zenra itself, it's a production company. It's only one segment but it's a sad one to watch, Having Sex in front of my friend. Interesting premise for certain and the one that left me cold was a young lady in a yellow dress agrees to have sex but it spins out of control for her and in the end both girls are in tears or close to it. Cost is a bit more than expected and limited viewing band width.

I've been a fan of JAV movies for a long time, and for the longest time it was nearly impossible to find English translations for them. While there are still not a ton of translated resources available, there is Zenra. First of all, the website is pretty nicely laid out, they have a rolling list of all their translated videos so you can easily check out what's been posted over the last few months. At the top of the site there's a toolbar that allows you to look for specific series of videos, actresses, studios, and general categories. As far as the actual videos go, they have a surprisingly varied amount, though they do tend to lean more towards some nontraditional fetishes there's a good amount of "normal" content as well. Still, consider it a word of warning if you have any problems with more extreme content. Mix of censored and uncensored videos. My Japanese is a little bit rusty, but from what I can tell the translations are very accurate. Streaming videos works fine on both my computer and crappy android tablet. They do have a 10 GB download limit per day for their non exclusive videos, and a 25 GB per month limit for exclusive. Streaming seems unlimited, so you do have the opportunity to watch before downloading, which is helpful. Yes, the site does cost about $10 more than your average pornographic website but due to the content I think it's worth the extra premium since you're not going to find translated AV videos easily. All in all, I highly recommend this site to any fans of JAVs who are willing to pay a bit of a premium for access to subtitles and some uncensored content.

CONS: BEWARE! 10GB streaming daily limit! Once you click to watch a movie and you only streamed a quarter of it you are still charged the whole length of movie! This 10GB streaming daily limit is only outline in their TERMS and CONDITIONS, so they are hiding this information from you before joining! This is how i got screwed! I did not know this! BEWARE! You can only download the NON-EXCLUSIVE movies which means everything you see on ZENRA.net you can only download about 20% of all their movies you see. In order for streamed movies to play properly you have to use FIREFOX! Sometimes the movies won't play because the site is very buggy! This site needs to be taken down for horrible net code and false advertising! PROS: Subtitles accurate

Unlike most paid adult websites asian or otherwise Zenra has a wide verity categories. Now I know most adult website subscriptions include either memberships to multiple sites and or multiple categories within a website. Zenra categories are different from those of other websites; on most websites each category consists of a single storyline repeated in the same or very similar location, and only the female actress is different in each video. Zenra categories are different, each category consists of numerous stories set in a verity of locations. Not only are the stories and locations different, but also both female and male actors are different as well as the ages of the actors and actresses in each video within a single category. One of my favorite attributes of the Zenra website are the subtitles; each movie comes completely subtitled. I don't know how other people feel about subtitles, but for me personally I find Asian movies much more enjoyable when I know what the characterize saying. The only aspect of the Zenra website that could used some improvement are the preview images; I would rather have fewer large preview images than several small preview images. At first I had a little trouble downloading the videos, but I quickly found a solution. I'm a Mac user so this probably doesn't apply to PC users. In order to downward the movies hold down the *Control* key when you click on a downward link, a small pulldown menu will appear, chose *Save Link As…* and a pop-up window appears. In the pop-up window you can change the name of the file if you want to, and you can choose where to save the file; the default save location on Mac is the *Downloads* folder. So if you enjoy watching a wide verity of Asian movies especially Japanese ones, and would like to know what the actors and actresses saying to each other, I highly recommend that you subscribe to Zenra. The signup and payment process is quick and easy.

If you like Japanese porn, then Zenra is the site for you. On this site you will find everything from just straight up fucking, to adult movies with intricate storylines. And the best part? It's all subtitled. You will also find some of the deliciously weird, extreme porn that only the Japanese make, on this site. There is something for everyone here, the variety and amount of movies are great. Some of the movies are uncensored, and some of them are censored. The people at Zenra have licensed deals with various Japanese porn companies for these movies, so by signing up for this site, you also indirectly support Japanese porn companies that you might love. The update schedule will be updated from two movies a week, to three movies a week come August! I am really glad I signed up for this site, it's an excellent, high-standard site, with a great variety of movies.

PRO: Some uncensored subtitled videos which bring Japanese videos to English speaking viewers. Most a good, majority mediocre. CON: * Mostly censored videos. Some mosaic takes up half the screen. * Half are specialty videos that are bizarre, and suitable only for ones with that particular taste. * There is a glaring absence of quality lesbian videos, I found only a few of the thousands. And these are not exactly hot, but middle of the road mediocre. BIGGEST CON: The reason for 2 stars is how they handle your account. I signed up for 3 months and found that there are two types of videos. EXCLUSIVE and REGULAR. I also discovered there's a 10GB DAILY DOWNLOAD LIMIT!!! This applies to both type. Then to make it more complicated, there's a separate 10GB download limit PER MONTH for what they label as EXCLUSIVE! Their solution is if you reach this limit, you have unlimited streaming ability of EXCLUSIVE videos. A typical video is 1-2GB in size, so you reach the 10GB daily REGULAR download and the EXCLUSIVE 10GB download monthly limit quickly. One day I couldn't log in. I emailed the owner & he said I "abused" the download privileges, so he suspended my account. I'm pissed now! I continued to talk with him and he said because I downloaded 10GB every day is the reason he suspended my account. He said due to the licensing agreement with the studios, he pays a royalty for each video downloaded & the fees he paid the studios exceed my subscription fee. I told him that's too bad, but it's not my problem! I asked him why he's not providing the service I paid for, which is to download up to 10GB daily? He kept repeating the fact that the royalties are more. About 8 days later he reactivated my account. So a 3 month account became a 2 1/2 month account. My subscription expired, so there will be no renewal for these reasons. It's just not worth it when there are millions of porn sites you can download free, no mosaic and no limits! (Date:07/11/2016): <span style="color:#369;">We spoke with Zenra and they responded, "We can narrow this reviewer down to one of two subscribers who signed up a few months ago for a 90-day subscription and then proceeded to systematically go page-by-page downloading every single movie hitting the 10GB daily transfer limit every single day without respite. After a few weeks of this, we temporarily reduced his access to streaming-only. This type of usage is highly atypical of more than 95% of our subscribers and yes, we do clamp down on it especially when it comes to Exclusive movies which cost a lot to license (including perpetual royalties). There is no way this subscriber was actually taking any time to watch what he was accessing. Rather he exhibited behavior of simply saving as much as (in)humanly possible for future use that we note in our Terms of Service is prohibited. If you hit it every so often, we don't care at all. If you hit it a few times a week, we're also fine with."
