| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm not very impressed by the animation style of the show but the style of it seems interesting enough. OP song is also okay. We got a case already and so far, it's looking alright. Ryuuichi can seriously be such a silly guy in this show. In the meantime, I kinda like the tension crafted for the face-offs. Yeah, most of the episode takes place in the courtroom so that was pretty spot on. Not bad for the first episode, looking forward to more. I hope the OST improves a bit though.  Ryuuichi's a certain kind of awesome. The ED theme song is okay, wish they put more animation effort into it but passable. |
 |
| I'm probably going to enjoy this regardless but I wanna know how it was from an adaptation point of view? |
| I am not liking the OST so far. But the episode was okay to say the least. (I have low expectations for this anyway.) |

Hey, at least they kept the Cross-examination and Objection themes |
 |
No pursuit theme though. |
|
| I think they did a fine job adapting the first case though it was really abrupt at times. And the final revelation didn't seem grand enough. They could have also done a better job in some other departments. I hope the animation and OST improve as we move along. They did use remixes of two of the original tracks (I think). I was surprised to see some of the things like Testimony and Cross-Examination coming up on the screen being retained in the anime. It was nice to see a bit of Phoenix's past. Maya next week! |

| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u__BwCNAQ4 ED is lovely. |
|
| Opening is okay enough. It was pretty cool seeing Phoenix and Edgeworth face off like that. Maya looks pretty cute in the ending. |
 |
| Not a big fan of the animation style but will watch it regardless. I have to tell my mind that this is not a "Phoenix Wright" anime. It's "Ryuuichi Naruhodou" |
 |
| After hearing about this getting an anime I went & bought the trilogy on the 3ds. So far I am liking it. The OP song is pretty good as well as the ED song. Gotta make it dramatic on the "Igi Ari" part. The art is not bad & the character designs are alright. That ending. NOOOOOO!! Looking forward to more. |

| As a big, big Ace Attorney fan, I found this watchable. Was expecting much worse. Though I will admit the pace is kind of crazy and sometimes they paced certain scenes kind of badly. Animation is also not too special but the soundtrack and voice acting is really on point. Definitely watching this all way through. Also that ED was lovely |
| After so many years, they finally made a Phoenix Wright, er, Gyakuten Saiban anime. Really wonder why they took so long to get to it. Also, THEY KEPT THE JAPANESE NAMES. It's nothing short of a miracle. |
| Meh, if anyone here haven't play the game yet and watches the anime - do yourself a favor and play the game first. There are DS emulators that can run it perfectly. |
 |
| Not impressed at all, it was a case even a novist could solve and they were all impressed?? ... Must have been really dumb huh.. |
 |
| I think, the EP was ok. not actually a masterpiece, but just a fine show, though. I liked the re-arrangeration of objection and cross-examination themes. Ending is in a little bit lower level than opening, I think. One thing disliked: THE ANIMATION. Just like in an old shounen- anime show from the beginning of this century. |

I think it's nice to have it now since the games play in 2016. The episode was okay, I'm fine with it. I have no real issues with the voice acting but the animation could have been much better. The OST is nothing memorable but I couldn't help but grin when Objection 2001 was played. Lokking forward to Pursuit ~ Cornered. The pacing could have been handled better but they had to stuff everything into the first episode, otherwise it would have been weird. All in all, I found this episode acceptable but at the same time I'm expecting it to improve in the future. |
| It wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either |
| The ending is the best thing about this. Anyway, I hope people don't watch this before actually playing the game. |
| It was Watchable? felt like they rushed it but this is essentially the "tutorial" case if I recall correctly so the pace could sort itself out now. Don't think the VA suits Ryuuichi. Only done the first 2 cases in the game so need to get back to it, don't plan on sticking with the Anime when/if it goes past what I've played. |
 |
| never played the game but this was pretty cool. looking forward to the next episode. |
| Not a big fan of the Japanese names. Would've much preferred that they subbed the localised names. As expected the tutorial case was extremely simple. Looking forward to some of the later cases. I'm sad that we didn't get to see Phoenix get a toupee chucked in his face. RIP Mia? |

Music, the story, the quirky characters, finding the way to proving your client not guilty. The games are pretty great. Actually how you describe it seems to be my problem with episode 1 of the anime. The first episode misses some things. I'm not a fan of the pacing much, nor the OST. I don't know. Maybe I've spoiled myself listening to the video game and orchestrated OSTs to the point where anything new doesn't sound good It's watchable. Whether OST or animation, I feel like the The First Turnabout does not give off the feeling of a threat, it's not made out to be any type of danger to anyone. I know it's the first case, it's suppose to be easy, but even when you play the case, there is a sense of urgency to prove it. It does not feel lame because it's designed to not feel lame. There are tonal shifts. One minute it's goofy, and then it gets serious. To me, it feels kinda glossed over. The frame is there for The First Turnabout, but the feeling isn't there. Even Naruhodos dorkiness seems hollow. In terms of pacing, I feel that was because it a more of an introductory episode to the format for the newer audience, also the ingame court case vs real time is very different, so it would of course be definitely be faster. I do hope that they will slow down the pacing for the next Turnabouts. Which I do believe that is what they are gonna do especially if they plan to cut each case into 2-3 episode per case. Now the OST was okay, the gavel sound wasn't like the sound in the games, but that's just me nitpicking at smaller details. Otherwise the ost fit like in the games. The ending song was great, I liked it. Anyways cheers to the next episode. Otherwise we would have to shout and posture ourselves to the alike "OBJECTION!" if it fucks up. |
| Pretty lame as expected. |
 |
| I don't know if it was the animation or the OST but I never felt any sort of urgency like we do in the game. This is going to be hard to watch for the ones who are new to the series. And as somebody said, in the anime it somehow looks a very easy case to solve. Maybe because we have to solve it ourselves in the game, but no can't really say it captured the feel well enough.. A disappointing start. I hope it gets better later on. |
 |
| I had low expectations but it seems pretty good, they seemed to pay attention the the original. and edgeworth lookin fine. |
  |
| Not gonna lie. I thought Phoenix slept in the office. It was nice knowing he has a house/apartment. |
  |
| 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 |

| I don't like the animation but guess i have to get used to it. The courtroom scenes were so over the top but i liked it, good laugh. Face offs seems to be interesting but IMHO i might drop it if it doesn't has fixed no. of episodes. |
 |
| The animation is quite strange but just need to get used to it.But as for the episode itself I feels like I'm just playing the game over xD. Next episode will be interesting... |
| It was alright, wasn't expecting much. |
| Not bad for a first episode. Like I said I'm definitely watching this. Kinda remind me of the games, just gave me feels to replay it again. NDS where's my NDS..!?? Oh there's only the emulator, alright then!! >:D |

It is already confirmed to be a two-cour http://www.forums.court-records.net/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=31650&start=40 Thanks for the info! I just wish the show just doesn't only have case/week but a overarching story to it as I have no idea about the VN (as I'm new to anime). |

| Thought this first episode was ok/average. Not a fan of the animation, but I'll watch a few more episodes before deciding if it's worth following. |
