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).


Oh, there's an over arching story all right.

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

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.

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.

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 I honestly didn't even notice the cross examination theme. It was the one from the first game, I assume? That's the only one I really know like the back of my hand. It must have been quite different from the original, cause I went back to the court scenes after I finished watching it, and even listening for it, I couldn't pick it out.

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.

FINALLYYYYY
I love the games so I was super excited for this adaptation!
They kept a few of the game soundtracks, but I wish they used, like, all of it honestly lol. The ending song is really good though!
Even though the first case is typically pretty easy to solve, the ending and deductions seemed really rushed and a bit choppy. But I'm expecting it to get better on later cases...hopefully (don't crush our dreams, A-1 Pictures!)

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. >_<

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.

I absolutely loved it! The ost is really nice, after seeing pachinko machines i was afraid the soundtrack would be like that, i'm happy it's quite orchestral focused!

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.

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.

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.

No I know, there's the slower one and the fast paced. But I mean was it the version from the first game? Because each game had a different cross examination theme.



This one is the one I'm asking about. Because I didn't hear it at all, which disappointed me greatly. ;~;

Hmmmmmm, its adapts things well from a structure stand point. Does everything as scripted. But, not at a execution.

Be it the sound or animation, I'm personally finding nothing to immerse myself into a world and story I've played through. Pacing is off a bit. Doesn't really matter because regardless I'm watching to gauge if this adaptation is any good, and this is only the first episode, but I'm kind of underwhelmed, mainly because I'm not too fond of the pacing or tone of this episode. That said, I can't wait to see if it'll do a turnabout, or the miracle never happen.

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?

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.

Both remixes played when Naruhodo/Wright made his case. 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.

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).

You're right that it's not a game, but it's an adaption of a game. They obviously didn't explain the game mechanics in the episode. They did in the game but there's no reason to adapt this part. He just wanted to say that the developers of the game made the first case very easy to solve, so that the players could get used to the game mechanics. Therefore, the first case isn't really interesting. It starts to get interesting later on, when you don't know the culprit. That doesn't mean that this case isn't important. It's very important as a build-up for the second case and therefore it has to be adapted.

I just hope that they won't show the culprit in the second case like they did in the game. That's the only thing they could do better in the anime IMO.

The fact that they literally showed the culprit killing the victim right in the beginning means anyone capable of eyesight and basic facial recognition could have figured out who did it.

Like you said it's not a hard case but I don't kow why they would kill what little suspense there is like that.

Why the hate for Yuki Kaji? I mean he often takes the role of a "clumsy, but serious male character" (see Sonic in OPM and Eren in AoT) and I think that description quite fits Naruhodo/Wright.

It's a direct adaption of the game. Making an "adaption of an adpation" would only make everything worse.
