START-421 - [SODSTAR×SHIGEKI] Aim for the best in Japan with a modified tentacle. Tentacle-1 Grand Prix, Ogura Yuna

This was actually really fresh! It's so hard to pull off tentacles in AV – they just don't look constricting when they barely wrap around, and the movements feel…off. The actresses' reactions sometimes just came across as awkward. But this one had a lot of shots I hadn't seen before in AV, like it was inspired by illustrations or anime, and I genuinely enjoyed it. A landmark piece for the tentacle genre, I think. It might just be me, but tentacle fans often have a thing for humiliation, so I'd love to see them skip the contest format and just go all-in on a humiliation-focused piece!

I'd seen the previous Tentacle Grand Prix entry, so I was kinda immune to this world, haha. The unexpected appearance of Ogura Yuna was a total shock. As others have mentioned, the production still has room for improvement, but Ogura Yuna's overwhelming beauty more than makes up for it. If you can ignore the weirdness of the Tentacle Grand Prix setting, it's visually the most erotic tentacle work I've seen in a while. The final round features a three-round tentacle endurance match, where points are awarded if you moan or get aroused – a fun rule that really amps up the excitement. Each chapter is varied, which is great for a tentacle flick. The final tentacle rampage was *very* stimulating for me. But honestly, the sheer power of this actress's beauty surrounded by un-censored, monstrous creatures and drenched in pre-cum... that's the foundation. Everything else builds on that. Her sensitive reactions are, of course, top-notch. And then to see her get completely covered in tentacle traps, with fluids spraying all over her face (even *that* is erotically beautiful!) – it's uncharacteristic for an exclusive actress, and incredibly decadent. It's ridiculously generous with the fanservice. The camera work, focusing on her beautiful face, suggestive lips, and wet, milky breasts and ass, is also excellent and full of highlights. Seriously, this reminded me just how erotic tentacles can be.

Ogura Yuna is the main focus, but Ayase Kokoro holds her own. She's in a lot of scenes, but it's a shame she's not on the jacket cover... Some people said it felt weird that the opponent wasn't featured, and they're right. They should've made Ayase Kokoro the opposing woman... This time, the structure is designed to highlight Ogura Yuna, which is a typical tentacle trope. I wonder which attacks were effective? Or maybe the tentacle movements and the actress's reactions didn't quite sync up? There are still plenty of issues, but it was interesting from a different angle this time around. The runaway tentacles are a staple of the genre, like in the anime source material – tentacles and lecherous monsters are part of the fun, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. At least there wasn't a sea of blood!

So glad to see a hard version of this! I'm really enjoying Ogura Yuna's tentacle work. If you're going for something even more intense next time, it'd be amazing to see realistic tentacles, pregnancy, and even milk extraction.

The whole tournament thing felt unnecessary. A simpler setup – like a runaway tentacle developer attacking with tentacles – would've been clearer. And that whistle every time points were scored was just annoying. The rules held the actress back from really going for it, so it lacked impact. I'm glad to see more tentacle stuff, but it feels like they're not quite capturing the essence of it. They need to *understand* tentacles better.
