PopJAV

Founded in 2018, PopJAV.tv offers a variety of Japanese adult videos (JAV). Most notably is the websites' uncensored section. Whereas JAVs have experienced censorship in Japan over the decades, JAVs are undergoing a bit of a revolution when it comes to censorship. Many JAVs are entirely uncensored, giving some Japanese viewers the luxury of viewing full sex scenes without even a hint of censorship. It's a new dawn for the JAV industry: PopJAV is here to ensure fans and newcomers alike can find what they have in mind.

Large thumbnails

One of the first things visitors will notice when logging onto PopJAV is the size of the thumbnails. These are not throwaway thumbnails plastered onto the website: these thumbnails showcase the positives of the video. For fans that have visited free tube sites in the past, it's evident that too many of them throw thumbnails onto the page and never pay them a second thought.

This is not only wrong on many levels, but PopJAV proves why this is a shortsighted approach to thumbnails altogether. PopJAV has a thoughtfully designed user interface (more on that in a moment), but it is the thumbnails that make it shine. Visitors can get a sense of the elegance of the women in each video, thanks to the thumbnails. Most thumbnails showcase the female's face and body: two deciding factors for most people when choosing which JAV to watch.

PopJAV is smart about not only where they place the thumbnail, but how it looks and the type of information it relays. Believe it or not, but thumbnails also tell a story. By using detailed, attractive thumbnails that are eye-catching and easy on the eyes, PopJAV ensures that the thumbnails will raise the odds that visitors will click-through and watch a video rather than choosing to avoid it. Good thumbnails emphasize the beauty within rather than taking away: PopJAV thankfully does the latter.

Attractive user interface

The thumbnails on PopJAV would not mean a thing if the user interface (UI) didn't wasn't so eye-popping. PopJAV's UI is certainly easy to look at, though it isn't because it's a beautiful work of web design. Instead, PopJAV's UI works because of its subtlety. It utilizes gold trim on a black background with large white block letters: nothing more or less. The minimalist approach works, though. Layered with the large, detailed thumbnails, it showcases what is most important about PopJAV: the content.

This approach to design allows the content to be front and center. The user interface never gets in the way of trying to find the JAVs visitors are looking for, nor is it difficult to jump straight into a video. It's easy to find any JAV one is looking for from the navigation bar at the top. Whether someone is looking for censored and/or uncensored JAVs or they want to browse by category, porn star, or amateur content, PopJAV makes it happen.

Censored and uncensored JAVs

Once upon a time, it was nearly impossible to find any uncensored Japanese adult video. It was nothing but uncensored footage. It still found its fans, but the censorship of genitalia didn't make sense to a lot of people outside of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Today, uncensored JAVs are readily available. Whether someone wants to watch in Japan or anywhere else in the world, finding hot Japanese adult videos is as easy as going to a free tube site or browsing a directory like ThePornDude and finding a laundry list of uncensored JAVs. It's a welcomed evolution from the old days of watching only censored pornography. For those that still want to view content from the days when censored Japanese porn was the norm, PopJAV gives visitors this option as well.

It's a theme that most visitors are going to pick up on while browsing PopJAV: this free tube site is all about choices. Sure, it's a given that most visitors are going to watch uncensored JAVs the moment they log onto the website. Even so, there are visitors out there that want to relive the older days and watch their favorite JAV despite the censorship. Everyone has their kinks and preferences: watch whatever type of JAV pornography one could want!

Tons of categories

PopJAV has a ton of categories for one's viewing pleasure. Before jumping into that, the website deserves more praise for its user interface. Because PopJAV pays attention to the details, they have thoughtfully included popular categories near the top of the categories' page. Click on the categories tab near the top, and visitors will see the sites' most popular categories: as of this writing, that was:

• Married woman.
• Creampie.
• Solo work.
• Big tits.

Just to name a few…

There is no indication that these are the most popular categories on PopJAV. They are at the top due to their popularity. It's also an excellent place to start if one wants to watch JAVs a bit more reminiscent of vanilla Western porn. For those hesitant about where to start, start at the popular categories at the top.

Further down, visitors will notice a huge list of categories. Many of these seem to be studio names (more on that later) mixed in with the categories names. Visitors will have to do some digging, but they will eventually find the niche videos they are craving. The videos could be organized better (more on that in a bit), but for what it is, it works.

Studios and categories are mixed together

Many JAV free tube sites include a separate studio tab for the AAA Japanese adult videos. Why did PopJAV fail to do this? Instead of creating a separate section for the massive amount of JAV studios that have a presence in Japan, why mix them with the categories? It makes finding the category difficult. Read the categories long enough and one will be able to discern which listing is a category and which one is a studio, but it's not as obvious as one would think.

The categories section has become a mess. PopJAV needs to address the disorganization of its categories. It's a problem that is beginning to run away with them as they add new videos.

Videos need to be categorized better

Although at first glance it looks as if PopJAV offers a variety of categories (and they do), take a look at the numbers of each category before giving them a round of applause. There are three sections in PopJAV's categories: uncensored maker, amateur JAV, and censored maker. Within these sections, one will find three categories with a ton of videos: The uncensored, amateur, and censored categories that each have a little over 18,000, 10,500, and 65900 videos, respectively.

This may not sound like a big deal, but after looking at the number of videos in the rest of the categories it becomes obvious that PopJAV has more often than not labeled each video either uncensored, amateur, or censored. Those are broad categories and do not reflect the nature of the content within the video. Looking through the list, other categories have insanely low numbers. The cuckold category only had one video: out of tens of thousands of JAVs, there has to be more than one video on PopJAV that specializes in this kink.

It's such a missed opportunity. If PopJAV had properly categorized all of its videos from the start, it would be easy to find the type of JAV one is looking for. Instead, it's now hit or miss. For those that are coming just for uncensored JAVs or merely for Japanese content without a type of video in mind, it isn't a big deal. For everyone else that wants to search for a specific kind of JAV, the process is going to take longer than one probably anticipated.

Videos load quickly

Despite the categories needing a significant overhaul, the most important thing on any JAV site is how quickly videos must load. PopJAV has spared no expense. The videos not only load extremely swiftly, but they are a joy to watch as well. Most videos are in glorious 720p/1080p/4K and look as fabulous as if you were watching them from their original source. For most people living outside of Japan, that would be impossible, so this is the next best thing. PopJAV clearly wants to make watching JAVs as easy as if one lived in Japan, and they have certainly achieved this goal.

Download videos for offline use

The convenience of PopJAV does not stop there. What can one do if they find a JAV that they never want to lose? Download the video! Click the download button underneath the video. From there, users can download the video to their device for regular offline use. Back it up, store it on a device for a rainy day, whatever you wish!
