| ^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. |

It was also quite short, since the scene didn't allow for any longer use of the track. 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. |
|
| 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 |

Talim 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: And that's not the problem here. 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. |

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... |

| 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 |

| 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. |

I thought the source was going to be the manga. |

| why are people surprised about the low budget ? havent you seen the trailer ? also ofc even a 7 year old could have figured who the culprit was, this is a GAME adaptation after all im def hyping the last trail of the first game,the story was really good |
Madara22 said: Oh I didn't know that, I do know that there are manga series about this show. I thought the source was going to be the manga. y its based on a manga that is based on a game |
| Despite the crappy animation, I did actually enjoy the episode. Larry (who is now Yahari) was actually pretty funny to me this episode. The adaption is good and I'm not surprised the art is basic because this is A-1 Pictures. |

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. |

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. |

| I find it funny how the video is also 25 minutes almost the length of anime episode. And I enjoyed this a lot more than the anime episode XD |

| It's not great, but it's not THAT bad either. As an avid fan of the AA series, I actually enjoyed it. Even if both, the animation and voice acting suck, I find this watchable. I was expecting something a little bit more like the cutscenes from the AA5 and AA6 games though. Boo :( As for the opening, it was so weird and awkward watching 3 grown men running like that! Whyyyy, lol. Everything was so cringeworthy. The ending was okay. |

| |
| Animation was poor and although Yuuki Kaji sounds better then I thought, he is still not nearly as good as Takayuki Kondou (once, again, I'm ranting about stupid recast). The rest of the voice actors were fine. As for pacing, it was alright, I guess. Will keep watching it so far. |

| It was alright. Would have rathered Bones, but as a lover of AA, I'm willing to give it a chance. While I do know all the Japanese names, I would have rathered Crunchyroll take the effort to localize the names in their subs though. |
They'll adapt from the first episode to Justice for All. |
| French viewer. Sorry for my bad english :) ! |
| boring op boring ed boring case did not like the animation or chara design 3/10 |

Nah it's alright, sorry for how I said it, it might have sound rude. |
| |
| Btw, why Capcom chooses A-1 picture to do the adaptation instead of P.A Works (who does the trailer for PLvsAA) or Bones (who does the cut-scene of Dual Destinies and PLvsAA) ? |

Well, he is good voice actor, but I don't think he fits for the role. Especially since there's already absolutely perfect cast. Which is still used in the games, including upcoming Ace Attorney 6. |

| It's in the little kid's timeslot, so I wasn't expecting much at all, but this makes cheesy shows like CSI and Law and Order seem like brilliant works of art. He should put on a pair of sunglasses after the case and give a lame pun. |

| I'm not sure on Yuki Kaji as the role of Phoenix. The whole thing felt like it had a really low budget and I was disappointed. I don't like the OP or the ED. It doesn't feel right to me. The main points of the case were left in but as others have said, the pacing was weird. Hoping the next few episodes are better. |
 |
| I liked the first episode. The art style was kinda average to me, not as great of the game art but I understand that too much detailed art would be hard to animate... However the voice acting was good and I'm glad that crunchyroll decides to use the english name in the subtitles instead of the japaneses names (I know that the japanese names are the original but I recognize them by the english name). |
 |
I'm surprised no one said a thing about this, it was a nice nod to the series |
