Time to get back into Mega Man stuff. Problem is this is the first time I don't really have a lot to say. Almost none of the bosses, levels, nor songs are of much interest. Coming off two great games and a solid 4th outing, MM5 is the first where the formula begins to wear thin.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)May 16th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionMay 23rd: Mega Man X5May 30th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionJune 6th: To Your EternityJune 13th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionJune 20th: Breath of Fire 3: The Story of Above AverageJune 27th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionJuly 4th: In the Clear Moonlit DuskJuly 11th: Spring and Summer 2026 Anime DiscussionJuly 18th: Castlevania Lament of Innocence/Curse of DarknessGame: Mega Man 5Year: 1992Developer/Publisher: CapcomThumbnail Commissioned by Nekotachin from vgen.comhttps://vgen.co/NekotaChinMM5 Logohttps://cdn2.steamgriddb.com/logo/97e907221af01aec5f7adcdc49d72b39.pngFor more Citizen Strife content, here is some socials Gameplay Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR4uewfRZttDxzUdkkZ2LwPodcast Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC59ybzlsnruIOmVwUHirAjQTwitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/citizen_strifePatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/citizenstrife

This week's anime review talks about a show that tried to mix a dark crime drama with superpowered teenage beings with mixed results. One of the storylines is gripping thanks to a cool lead character, while the other treads on solid, if uninteresting and cliche ground to make it a bit of hit and miss show overall.Podcast Schedule (Based on Saturday Upload Dates)May 2nd: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionMay 9th: Mega Man 5May 16th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionMay 23rd: Mega Man X5May 30th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionJune 6th: Apothecary Diaries w/LeighClipseJune 13th: Spring 2026 Anime DiscussionAnime: B: The BeginningYear: 2018/2021Studio/License: Production I.G/NetflixThumbnail Commissioned by Nekotachin from vgen.comhttps://vgen.co/NekotaChinAmeku M.D. Logohttps://media.vgm.io/products/71/18717/18717-1737991990.pngFor more Citizen Strife content, here is some socials Gameplay Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQR4uewfRZttDxzUdkkZ2LwPodcast Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC59ybzlsnruIOmVwUHirAjQTwitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/citizen_strifePatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/citizenstrife

*Testing a new microphone today. Might sound a bit odd compared to the old one. Way different style, specific to voice acting rather than broadcasting*This week's video game review is a rundwon of a game I beat on my gameplay channel a couple of months back. If you want to re-experience Ys, it's good. If you want hacky slashy nonsense and good music, it's great. If you want a substantial plot with great characters, it's...fine?That's Ys for you.
