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.
