Ran IchinoseReal Mistress: Hardcore Training by Queen Ran Ichinose
In an era overflowing with 'sweet sadism' from idol-like actresses, this series sticks to the 'good old' style of clear master-servant relationships and hardcore play. The director is the master of the whip, Natsuki Aoyama, and the first installment features his protégé, Ran Ichinose. It's a three-part structure that gets progressively harder, and the worldview conveyed through this series, as well as her Twitter and club messages, really shines through in the final whip session. It's a series I want to support.
*It was my first time seeing Ran Ichinose. The deciding factor is good looks and costumes. Her looks are oddly raw. I liked that the costume was bondage after wearing shiny pantyhose. There was no urination scene in the play, which was a negative point for me. She's a queen you'll want to keep an eye on.
I had high hopes for this DVD because she's a great dominatrix. However, I was disappointed by the content and structure. They could have brought out so much more from her; it's a real shame.
This is just my subjective opinion... I wish they had filmed the Queen's tormenting from more angles, and the camera work had some lens flare issues, so I wish they'd put more effort into that. Personally, because of those shortcomings, I'd rate it a 4.8, but I'm giving it a 5 in anticipation of Ichinose Ran's next work. She's such a wonderful person, so I hope the next one isn't restricted by costumes and is filmed from various angles. The content of this one was generally good, so you won't regret buying it.
