Strife's Sanctum Podcast #237: No Sleep for Kaname Date

Strife"s Sanctum ·

2026/02/14

This week's review is a sequel to the Somnium Files. Set between the first two games, it mixes Somnium and visual novel stuff with the puzzle solving of the Nonary Games. This half-sized version of the game is chock full of fun, despite the runtime.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)February 21st: Winter 2026 Anime DiscussionFebruary 28th: Maquia: When the Promised Flower BloomsMarch 7th: Winter 2026 Anime DiscussionMarch 14th: Final Fantasy VIMarch 21st: Winter 2026 Anime

2026/01/17

Having never played Suikoden, I was quite impressed with how breezy and fun the games were. The 2nd game improved so much the overall package was a good result. The main issue was character recruitment being awkward and sometimes unnecessary or limited in character investment. But that's the nature of designing 108 characters I suppose.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)]January 24th: Winter 2026 Anime DiscussionJanuary 31st: Bravely Default Re-ReviewFebruary 7th: Winter 2026

This week's anime review is about a show that focuses on lost memories, nostalgia, and finding one's place in the face of being another person. Kowloon Generic Romance explores several people who may not be who they say they are, and the effect it and the place they live have on them.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)January 10th: Fall 2025 or Winter 2026 Anime DiscussionJanuary 17th: Suikoden I&II HD RemasterJanuary 24th: Winter 2026 Anime DiscussionJanuary 31st: Bravely

Time to head back to the courtroom with Phoenix, Apollo, and Athena. The first game for the 3DS, Dual Destinies was an interesting change to the formula, focusing on a female lead storywise. While it does rebound from some of Apollo Justice's quality, it isn't the strongest Ace Attorney game either.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)December 27th: Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionJanuary 3rd: Kowloon Generic RomanceJanuary 10th: Fall 2025 or Winter 2026 Anime DiscussionJanuary 17th:

Strife"s Sanctum ·

2025/12/06

This week's anime review is one of those good old "dirty crime bounty hunter town of evil and sin" kinds of things. While not on par with something like Black Lagoon, Gangsta. hits the same kinda notes, so if that's the show you're into, this will fit the bill.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)December 13th: Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionDecember 20th: Ace Attorney: Dual DestiniesDecember 27th: Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionJanuary 3rd: Kowloon Generic RomanceJanuary

Strife's Sanctum Podcast #226: Vagrant Story

Strife"s Sanctum ·

2025/11/22

When Square wants to go against the grain, weird stuff happens. Parasite Eve first, and then Vagrant Story. Created as a new spinoff title set in Ivalice, VS is an action game, with puzzles, magic, and a unique setting and dark story. Despite this, it is a very confusing game at times. The weapon crafting system is one of the most in-depth I'd ever seen, and I don't think I've ever gotten my head around it.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)November 29th: Fall 2025 Anime

This week's anime review is about one of my favorites this year: Zenshu. An isekai/plot portent feature about a girl sucked into the world of her favorite anime movie.

Strife's Sanctum Podcast #222: Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun

Strife"s Sanctum ·

2025/10/25

This week's anime review is about a show that really hit its stride with its comeback season recently. While the first season set the tone with some spooky scary yokai/apparition/ghost/etc. stuff, the second season took the main characters and focused in on them more and what struggles they deal with as teenagers in nearly impossible situations. It was a perfect blend of weirdness, comedy, and drama.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)November 1st: Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionNovember

2025/10/11

Ys has been one of my favorite franchises for the last decade or so. The main issue is VIII was its magnum opus. Both IX and X have left something to be desired, landing as, "good" games when I was expecting a bit more.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)October 18th: Summer and Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionOctober 25th: Toilet-Bound Hanako-kunNovember 1st: Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionNovember 8th: ZenshuNovember 15th: Fall 2025 Anime DiscussionNovember 22nd: Vagrant StoryNovember
