Life N' Panels Podcast

SentinelSeiyu and JT sit down to discuss their thoughts on Sony's bold new future of digital-only games and their controversial decision to walk back on removing customers' purchased movies from the now-defunct PlayStation Video Store coming this September. While also reflecting on the future of consumer rights regarding digital and online-only purchases and providing some insight into where they stand. With SentinelSeiyu catching us up on what he's been keeping busy with as he waits for Mushoku Tensei Season 3 & The Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman Season 2, and to be honest, I don't think JT was expecting it to be Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun, all this and more in this episode of Life N' Panels, an OtakuNET Original Series.
