^Yes, I have watched Raw. However, I would prefer to see Raw scenes with women he hasn't worked many times (e.g., 27 with Kristina Rose, 9 with Keisha Grey, 14 with Riley Reid, 14 with Dani Daniels, 8 with Megan Rain, etc.), with already. Note: I know that some of the names on the list are retired but I'm not talking about enlisting retired performers. There are women in the top 100 list who are active, very popular, and that he has done little to no (e.g.., Kimmy Granger, Abigail Mac, Samantha Rone, Alex Grey, Janice Griffith, Ariana Marie, Eva Lovia, Leah Gotti, Casey Calvert, Peta Jensen, Naomi Woods, Alexa Grace, Karla Kush, Brooke Wylde) scenes with.

This is what I don't understand about people complaining about the cast list, and declaring a new edition of Raw a "bust" before even watching the scenes. Like it's irrelevant if the scenes are great but your handful of favorite girls aren't in it. There have been many Raw scenes with girls I really like that have felt average or even a bit flat to me. And on the other hand, there have been way more Raw scenes with girls I wasn't that into or had never even heard of that have been among my favorites in the series. I agree, the reason is, simply put: chemistry. Without it, these type of scenes just don't work. That's what makes this series special, in my opinion.
^None of the women I mentioned are my favorites. I mentioned women who are hot in the industry and would bring some newness and excitement to the series much like people anticipate seeing new women perform in Blacked and Tushy. You are correct that chemistry is important. Yes, he has chemistry with women he's done scenes with multiple times with. However, he wouldn't have this chemistry if he hadn't done a scene with them. He will not have chemistry with new women if he doesn't do scenes with them. P.S. The DVD cover of Raw 26 is online now.
from the cover, RAW 26 looks to be a must buy edition for me. I have already scenes of Harlow and Amber and both the girls are pretty hot. though i am least excited for Megan. I personally want to see Katrina Jade, Siri, Karla Kush, Julie Cash and Ryan Smiles in RAW. Edited by - karnage on 4/6/2016 9:02:17 PM

This guy talks sense. and RAW 26 is a 5hrs 2discs release ! If I get just 2 good epic scenes in there....
ummm, I for one like Adriano's scenes better than Manuel's. Chemistry is overrated, since most of the porn is good acting not genuine interactions. At least Adriano has a formula/set up that he sticks to = cult following. with Manuel's pubes along with his foreskin, the only thing going for him is his good looks. other than that sometimes I find that the positions and what Manuel likes to do is always the same, the only different thing is the order. Also, the broken English he speaks is quite annoying as well, he should just not speak during his scenes. I can't even understand him half of the times.

I think the fact that it's 5 scenes and even the avg. scene time of 1 hour is a bit higher than recently is interesting. The scene avg. time has a lot more variables and maybe nothing to read into. The 5 scenes though is obviously a conscious choice so I'm interested to see if that's a 1 time or he goes with it more.

Yeah Adriano definitely has a formula that he sticks to, to put it mildly. 'Chemistry is overrated' as an idea could only come from a rabid Adriano fan. And no kidding chemistry may not be genuine, all great actors/performers create the sense of chemistry. It doesn't need to be real anymore than the tears of a great actor need be 'real' to be effective. Edited by - BlackSix on 4/8/2016 12:29:28 AM
of course, chemistry is everything in hardcore science principles. In porn it is called "how much are you paying me again?"

Manuel's all black feature special dark was great to see but could have been better. Kira noir and Ana foxxxs scenes were the only ones o watched. I'd like to see him make more
^I agree. I'm glad he did one. I hope he does another one. However, I thought there was too much time spent on the women using dildos on themselves. It seemed like it was done to fill time when he should have been having sex with the women. Jonnni Darko released a great DVD (Brown Sugar Fuck Dolls) earlier this year with all black women cast. Markus Dupree was the male talent and gave the girls a good pounding. It was a hot DVD. I was hoping Manuel's all black female DVD would have been similar but it missed the mark.
Manuel's new dvd Ripe has some excellent casting choices Now if I could have seen that selection of girls in his Raw Wow that would be amazing thanks :)

The new movie ripe has some of the hottest new starlets. That Alex grey, Bobbi Dylan and Jimmy Granger are all top of the line. Alex grey is probably the most stunning of all. Love seeing Manuel's fat cock slaying pretty teeny girls.
Can anyone explain what this movie is about? The cast seems to be new girls but is it the theme? He already has a teen/new girl series (2 Cute 4 Porn) with Evil Angel.

2cute 4 porn is more about the prettiness of the girls. Ripe, while having a hotter cast than any of the 2cute4 porn casts seems to be more about new girls with a focus on vaginal intercourse.

Ripe is the hottest cast of women of any of Manuel's movies I can think of.
RAW 26 is a must buy edition from the trailer. Amber is incredibly beautiful. and yeah the anal scenes of Megan and Adriana look amazing. I am gonna buy this one too.

Manuel is putting out some great work recently. Raw looks incredible and Harlow and the purple haired girl look hotter than I originally thought. Megans scene looks great, too. In fact all the scenes in the new Raw look awesome. Ripe and maximum penetration look incredible, too, though not feeling rachell starr. She looks weird, likes mutant like or something lol
^^I've only seen a few scenes with Kimmy Granger but I think she has more sex appeal and presence that anyone out there now including the top girls that are booked regularly. She also appears to be a good little actress based on her Brazzers scenes. I'm curious to see how she and Manuel interact in his Ripe DVD and whether she will be cast in Raw. She seems to be more energetic and assertive than the submissive women he typically books. Manuel is a dominant male performer and unfortunately never really lets women take the lead. It will be interesting to see if they do more than 1 scene together based on their performance styles.
^Maybe take the lead wasn't the right words. Male performers do take the lead and move the scene. However, some seem to be more willing to sit back and let the women be a little more assertive in scenes. Have you ever watched a retired performer named Abella Anderson? She worked really well with Jules Jordan and few others before she retired. She was a assertive performer. I can't imagine her and Manuel doing a scene together. I don't think he would have appreciated her pushing his hands back and riding him for as long as she wanted like she did with Jules Jordan, Johnny Sins, Chris Stokes, etc. Anyway, I hope he does a Raw scene with Kimmy Granger. I think she's a great new performer. Edited by - fanofman on 4/23/2016 10:54:32 PM Edited by - fanofman on 4/23/2016 10:56:10 PM

^ He's done a ton of great scenes with "assertive" female performers. Just a few off the top of my head: Jesse Jane, Gianna Michaels, Julia Ann, Flower Tucci.
What's so raw about Ferrara? In my book he's more of a lazy dude working hard keeping wood. There's only one male in biz ever to be in entitled to this maniac statuette, and that's the spanish maniac which name I always forget.

I enjoy watching Manuel & Luna Star in Raw 18 and Raw 24, back-to-back. One hour, forty seven minutes and thirteen seconds combined length. Her orgasms are subtle, except for the end of their scene in Raw 24 where he performs oral sex on her until she exhibits a very nice orgasm. I like Manuel's style of performing. He wraps his arms around his partners. He kisses them. He softly whispers in their ears. He's not just shooting the end of his appendage from a safe distance away. I don't know how Luna Star traveled from Cuba to the United States, yet, I'm very happy she made it here. She makes this old man smile.

Amber ivy is a lot more attractive than I originally thought when the cast listing came out. Manuel did a great job in the scene and the scene was hot especially the facial but she didn't seem to be as skilled and dirty as Adriana chechik, who just blew me away with scene 2. The Adriana scene is so hot. I can't believe there are three more scenes in this raw. Feels like this might end up being one of if not the best raw release.
Raw 26 scene with Alexis Fawx was excellent. The only thing I didn't like about it was he started face slapping her toward the end of the scene. That takes something away from the scene for me. I think Manuel's best work is with mature women.
The 4 released scenes are excellent. Manuel really went back to the early years formula : not just lengthy but chemistry filled scenes that cut straight to the core of sex, genuine lust over porn performance. The females were well cast: Adriana is her usual sexual self, Amber and Harlow obviously loved Manuel's attention for them. Alexis' scene is my favourite yet, I think this one contains the least POV shoots in the entire series.

Skipped Harlow Harrisons scene. She looks like she might be less skilled like amber. Saw some of Alexis fawx scene and I'm blown away once again. She is the sexiest mikf out there and is really skilled and naughty. You can tell Manuel was really into her work.

Mr. Ferrara is very fortunate to have a good neighbor living nearby. A few minutes into his scene with Ryan Conner, (Raw 23) the doorbell rang. They got dressed. Manuel went to answer the door. He said, upon his return, "my neighbor brought my dog back". A yellow Labrador retriever, named "Hanna". Nice dog. I liked the scene. Ryan climbs onto the saddle, facing him, rocks back and forth, grinding herself on him, exhibiting several very nice orgasms. So, I learned a bit about Mr. Ferrara's character and got to see a Ryan Conner performance for the 1st time. Manuel's dog wasn't impressed with the performance. "Hanna" slept the entire time on the floor next to the bed.

This is the best shape I've seen Manuel in years. He looks like he's been spending a lot more time in the gym lately. This is easily the best raw in a long time.
^ I've seen male performers start their careers in good shape and gradually gain weight, but I don't think I've ever seen one go up and down in weight more than Manuel.

It's stunning especially his latest transformation. This is probably the bulkiest he's ever been
^ Just saw a clip. He looks like he's been lifting and put on a little muscle but his best shape ever (abs and all over definition) was in Pornstar Workout w/ Mia Rose and I believe he even admitted that in a podcast. When he took his shirt off Mia goes "Holy shit!". lol
I like the fact that Manuel made less use of POV footage in Raw 26. If you read this thread Manuel, please less POV in Raw. I watched the Harlow Harrison scene. This was an interesting scene. There was lots of nice playful dialogue between the two which makes it seem more authentic in terms of Raw interaction. Lots of fishing hair off balls (his or hers). She laughed at his toe sucking. She gave him a big squirt. I don't know if he liked that or not. She passed out from the choking. That's the first time I've seen that in his movies. I wish he would stop the choking and slapping. It totally unnecessary and adds nothing to his passionate performances or the women's responses to him. I thought I detected some anal leakage from her at 57:30. It doesn't look like she wasn't too receptive to some other things like the slapping and asshole fingering. It will be interesting to see if they perform together again. As it relates to his physique, he really let himself go in the last few years. However, it really apparent that he has made some efforts to lose weight and tone up. He's got some more gut to lose but he looks much better. As a female fan, I appreciate the new look.
I would disagree about the choking and slapping. While not all the girls enjoy it, and he needs to respect his partner (which I think he mostly does), the slapping and choking have helped drive many women crazy in their scenes with him. I really enjoyed this Raw release. Good to see him continuing to move away from POV, and getting a bit more fit. He doesn't need to look like Johnny Castle, but he had really let himself go
I find it strange people are discussing Manuel's physique etc . I've never noticed it personally I'm more interested in his fuck chemistry and not what his torso looks like. I'm sure whoever is in the scene with him gives two hoots about his body and are more aroused by that huge cock inside of them. Voyeurism is fickle Anway a solid release scenes were decent . just hope he gets some of these new stars involved . Please no more repeated ladies.

Yeah Adriano definitely has a formula that he sticks to, to put it mildly.
