Review:

Deja-vu: The sense that you have seen it before. As veteran porn surfers, you know the feeling. We're not talking about those teen-tease sites where you have a set where the girl poses on her bed, surrounded by stuffed animals, wearing her panties, and then she has a set the next week where she poses beside her bed in her panties, and the week after that she's in a bedroom set wearing panties, and the week after that she's wearing panties in bed, and for the next three fucking years you're going to watch this little bitch sticking her pantied ass in your face. 

No, we're talking about that feeling you get when it seems like you've seen a site before. Kind of like all those "new nude," erotic photography sites with the magazine-style layout. Good sites, but man are we ever getting sick of that. Is it the same fucking company running all those sites? It can't be. They all hate each other too much. So what gives? We thought artistic types were supposed to be original when it came to things like design. Why are they all ripping the same layout off?

Holy shit do we have a lot to rant about this week. What got us started on this anyway?

Oh yeah. Deja-vu.

As soon as we got into Fetish Artworks we got the feeling. And it wasn't such a subtle feeling either. This site looked identical to All Porn Comics. A wee bit of research turned up the totally unsurprising fact that it's run by the same people. So this review is going to repeat itself a bit.

Main area: There's a bunch of updates posted under "Latest News" but none of them are dated. Looks like it's updating a few times a week though, at least when we visited. 

The different content areas are:

3D Comics and Toons: mostly unsorted pics in 63 galleries with non-descriptive labels like "3D art gallery #31" and "Scene #7." A few stories. Some of it wasn't bad, if 3D toons are your thing, but the picture quality is really uneven. We also discover that our right-click to save images has been cleverly disabled. Oh-oh. We're not in a good mood . . .

Artists's Archives and Adult Artworks: OK, about 150 galleries of the usual names (Vargas, Olivia, Sorayama), and the usual pics, as well as miscellaneous artwork. It's not sorted very well.  

Comics and Cartoons: quite a bit here. Around 850 comics and cartoon galleries. Some of it is really generic, and a lot of it is a grab-bag (for example: "Spanking, Bondage, Sadism, Collection - #9-2"). Same fucking problem we had with All Porn Comics. You can't even use the alphabet as a trusty guide. It's just a mess. Picture quality (or scan quality) is also inconsistent. Some different titles than over at All Porn Comics because there's more of an emphasis on BDSM here. Still, most of the titles seemed pretty familiar to us. We're not sure if anything is exclusive. Nothing is labeled as exclusive, so we suspect none of it is (we are discounting the promotional hype on the tour that says "Exclusive materials only!" because that's just not true). 

Out of curiosity we try to right click on some stuff but we still can't save anything. Oh well.

Gay and Shemale Toons: Around 20 galleries of gay artwork and a handful of she-male comics. Nothing new.

Manga and Hentai: doesn't "hentai" mean movies, and "manga" comic books? That's what we thought. Well, there are no movies on this site. The galleries labeled "hentai" and "anime" are just pic galleries. Ha-ha! Maybe they're supposed to be screen captures.

GoldBonuses.com: just a bunch of extras, but at least most of it is toon-oriented. You even get a couple of pages of real hentai movies. And we're sure you're fucking dying to download clips like this one (and yes, this is the actual thumbnail):

Time to break it down: A large but very expensive collection of poorly organized and inconsistently reproduced comics and artwork, most of which are as old as the hills, and which they don't even let you download. That's just unacceptable. Try BDSM Artwork (or one of the BDSM Artwork solo artist sites, like Cagri's) as an alternative for this niche. They're pricey too, but at least they have exclusive stuff you get to keep.
