| I wish the art was a little different, but so far I like it. I'm looking forward seeing Maya and Edgeworth. |
| It looks a bit low budget, but it was quite a pleasant surprise. A-1 actually did a great job adapting the prologue, and even captured the spirit of the game. Of course they skipped some filler dialogue, but I thought people knew you can't keep every single line from a game/VN/book? Honestly it would've been pretty bad if the prologue took two episodes, it's not even that important, it's just a tutorial for the game. I was a bit disappointed that the OST was mostly new, but they still kept the important songs. It's good to have a mix of new and old, rather than being completely new, or just lazy and using everything from the game. The new songs kind of fit well in the franchise. They'll probably use more of the game's OST, like Pursuit, but it would be more fitting for the end of Turnabout Sisters, than using such a great song for the tutorial case. |

Comic_Sans said: That low tier animation That crappy art Them plot twists that I could see coming from miles away That unfitting Yuki Kaiji voice acting Them awkward and unfunny jokes That RUUUUSHED pacing Them out of place video game mechanics I haven't even played Ace Attorney and I've only watched one episode but I already feel sorry for the fans of the games While the animation and voice acting were terrible, I can say that the cases do get better. |
 |
| man that was rushed |
| i don't know everything, i only know what i know also your waifu is shit |
Really cheap animation, probably same A-1 team as Denpa Kyoushit |
 |
| As someone that has never played or seen the game, I didn't mind Yuki Kaji's voice at all tbh although I think that maybe they could have gotten someone more fitting The episode itself wasn't bad at all and I liked the way the case unraveled and seeing Pheonix and his chief work together was nice.....I felt bad for his friend though...Now he's all alone with the woman he loves :( Art and animation were okay, the OP was also okay but that ED was really good....Decent start to the series and I'm very curious to see the next episode because seeing that the Chief is dead shocked the hell out of me and made me sad TwT |
| Not a fan of the animation. Reminds me a little bit of Denpa Kyoushi and I hated that show. But aside from that, this first episode was pretty nice. I think I'm going to enjoy this one. I loved that ED. That ending though. |
  |
| was expecting 3DS anime cut scenes animation. Really disappointing. The court was very anticlimatic. Let's see if slower court scenes will make it better. |
| Well the animation kind of remind me of Rockman,,, being Capcom let's see how the story unfolds |
 |
| Animation's alright. Not bad, but not really that great either. I wish they'd used some tracks from the games in the OST though...the cross examination music would have been great to hear again. Also kinda wish whoever subbed it would switch the names with the ones from the English game. It's gunna be a bitch to learn all these new names. ;c Plus all the puns in the names were golden. April May, Will Powers, Wendy Oldbag....aw well. Still super excited though. Can't wait for the next ep. :D Maya!! <3 |

| Noooo not Yuki Kaji's voice :( For a first episode, it was a bit boring, I hope it will get better for next week |
| Okay, so Naruhodo's first client is his own childhood friend. Good guy at heart and it looks like a pretty skilled craftsman for making that "Thinker" statue" but bad at both luck and attitude. It seems to get serious, at least until Naruhodo saying something about that contradiction thing. Yup, to learn more about attorney but not to be so serious all the time... IT'S A KEEPER. |

| Okay, this was plain bad. I don't know any of the source material, but an adaptation has to be able to stand on it's own legs. I don't know if it's a good adaptation, but it was a bad episode. The charactes are annoying, the humor doesn't work and the pacing is totally off. |

Tokoya said: I'm probably going to enjoy this regardless but I wanna know how it was from an adaptation point of view? It was perfect, seriously, there was like one scene that was a bit different than in the game, if they keep this up, this is going to be an amazing adaptation, I really like the fact that they also implanted the cross examination and objection theme from the game as well. |
Heldengeist said: Well you have to realize this is the first case in the first Phoenix Wright game. It starts off with a very easy case to teach you the basics. They'll get much more intense from here on out, with much better characters. I highly recommend you give the second episode a watch, at least. c:Okay, this was plain bad.

| Played 3 of the games on emu and even watched the movie. Im really not sure i wills tick with it cause i pretty much remember what happens anyways and its even worse for people who clearly remember all the cases. The animation quality is really crappy and the art..well its just like i remember it in the games. Also it feel like they made a game you can watch in anime form..instead an anime with the story of the games |
| -I didn't like the OP and ED but I loved to hear some of the OSTs from the game -Visuals are okay, tho it could have been a bit better. -TBH the setting and the 1st case was very well adapted, because it was the tutorial case, even if it was a bit rushed. -The voice acting was meh it felt off. 4/5 because I was waiting for so long. |

This is so ironic, because this is a really faithful adaptation of the first case. The pace is the same in the game too. |
| Seeing this reminded me of why I loved the games as a kid, damn I felt smart when I Lousy animation and OP though. I can't blame them for the artstyle but they should have taken the opportunity to add more detail to the environments and characters. Also, a show like this doesn't feauture much animation (as in movement) in the first place. Why couldn't they make what little action there is run more smoothly? Felt great to hear that cross-examination music again though, shit I was all over this game as a kid. |

tennisbunnyrox said: I've read that they're doing the first 2 games. But seeing that it's a 2 cour anime, they might be able to fit in the 3rd game. It depends how many episodes each case will take. With that much content for 24ish episodes, it'd be impossible for them to include Dual Destinies, unfortunately.Does anyone know how many games this anime is covering? If the anime is 26 episodes, then maybe they could cover the 2nd game as well...I honestly want to see a whole adaptation of the 5th game though, because of the anime cut scenes in the game. >_< |
|
| The childhood friend gave an even more annoying impression in the game to be hoenst, so what we got was actually - in a way - an improvement. I'd say the first episode was quite good actually. It's good that there were 2 remixes that I recongnized, escpacially since they appeard at moments where one would actually care to listen to it. People may not have noticed, but they actually changed the positions of defense and prosecution in the anime. But that was never really relevant in the game and seems to have been done for convenience. |

CoolMorz said: This is so ironic, because this is a really faithful adaptation of the first case. The pace is the same in the game too. What works for a game/book/manga/etc, not necessarily works for an anime/movie/series/cartoon. That's why it's hard to make a good adaptation. |

There's like the general cross-examination theme and then there's the one that plays when shit gets serious, i.e when you've got the fucker on the ropes. I think they played the latter for a bit. |

| We had remixes of these 2 themes: and |

BlueBalls said: No I know, there's the slower one and the fast paced. But I mean was it the version from the first game?

|
| ^They used the faster one (also from the first game), see my post above. It was also quite short, since the scene didn't allow for any longer use of the track. |
|
| I think, this doesn't work as an anime. I'm getting good laughs out of this though. But i couldn't take the whole thing serious. Hopefully this gets better in the second episode. |
| The OST is hit or miss (I don't care for the ED and some remixed songs ended up too mellow for a trial, the OP is really good but is also too mellow for the series) but the rest seems ok, very over the top and enjoyable, quite faithful as well, just rushed a bit to fit a 2 cour format but that was expected |

| It was pleasant to see all those old GBA games elements reused for the anime, from some sound or music to panels and direction choices. I know there will be a sixth game soon and this series is like a promotion campaign to bring new peoples to the franchise by showing them the old scenari but it is a shame how it will prevent any desire to buy the actual old game (released on several platforms and pretty cheap on the 3DS e-shop even without the repeated sales). On the other hand, all the characters looked "stuffed" when they were moving while their faces were far from pretty. I know the games use still artworks and I never really find the pictures style great but the anime doesn't look good. The finale might turn out ugly. The ending was a lot better than the opening. 3/5 Do you think they will adapt the full trilogy over those 26episodes? bluebear_tora said: have case/week but a overarching story to it as I have no idea about the VN (as I'm new to anime). There is one global background story who reveals itself through various elements of the different cases and end up being the base of the final case. (in the first game who's the one adapted here, it ties the backstories of the main characters) If you liked what you saw (story- and ambiance-wise), you might be interested to try the game yourself (even on emulation) before the anime handles you the full story. |

| @Talim I remember getting frustrated af at that music later in the game when I couldn't get past some asshole witness testimony. Still haven't played the latest in the series, maybe it's available for Android or online via Flash. |

Cross Examination - Allegro 2001 played when he pointed out the contradiction between the stated time of death and the time of death according to the autopsy report, while Objection 2001 played right after the OBJECTION! in the anime. |
|
| I can forgive the art if they make it a long-running show, otherwise it looks like no effort was put in it at all. |
| From what i have heard the production is a mess, 6 AD only for the first episode. It's A1, no surprises |

The problem is that this is not a game, making a gameplay video just won't work. Why should we learn the basics of the game mechanics? Following this line of thought, we should study jurisprudence too? Of course not. I'll give a chance at least for the next two episodes, but without any expectations. |

xizor said: God I really hope soooo. I need Dahlia Hawthorne in this so bad. And the fab Tres Bien chef.I was worried that it will be terrible, but it turned out to be really good! Far from perfect, but still very enjoyable.  |

Probably not, I think they will do the first two games. But yes, it was a nice addition. :) |
| The animation might not be great, but the adaptation is good. I'd rather have a good adaptation than amazing animation. Sure, it's ideal to have both, but whatever... |
| :3 |
| I guess this show took rule #16 to heart. Rule #16: If you fail in epic proportions, it might just become a winning failure. It was so bad it was actually funny. But so was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFldBVWFgWo |

Madara22 said: Not impressed at all, it was a case even a novist could solve and they were all impressed?? ... Must have been really dumb huh.. well this is a game adaptation so ofc the 1st level is gonna be easy :P |
| The animations aren't bad, but by A-1 standards... yeah. I'm planning on starting the games this week or next. Kaji Yuki's not suitable seiyuu for Naruhodou Ryuuichi, even if he's a good seiyuu. 3/5 |

BlueBalls said: Dual Destinies? It's really good, and it has more cases than any of the other games (if you count the DLC case, which it fantastic and I would highly recommend tbh).@Talim I remember getting frustrated af at that music later in the game when I couldn't get past some asshole witness testimony. Still haven't played the latest in the series, maybe it's available for Android or online via Flash. |
