Gyakuten Saiban: Sono "Shinjitsu", Igi Ari! Season 2

Defense attorney Ryuuichi Naruhodou is still hard at work defending the falsely accused with his knack for last-minute turnabouts. With his trusty assistant and medium-in-training Mayoi Ayasato in tow, Ryuuichi's fame as a champion for the innocent steadily grows. But this newfound success attracts the attention of the coffee-loving, masked Godot⁠—a mysterious rookie prosecutor who bears an inexplicable grudge against Ryuuichi.

With the help of their allies, Ryuuichi and Mayoi take this new challenger head-on and search for the reason behind his appearance. But before long, the first two cases from the career of Mayoi's late sister Chihiro Ayasato become critical to solving a fantastical murder mystery, continuing the bloody saga of the tumultuous Ayasato clan. Will Ryuuichi once again be able to overcome the odds and find the truths hidden within the web of lies?

This sequel is indeed a bit better than the first season. It adapts the third and best game of the series, and is given more episodes as a result to flesh this story out.

It suffers the same problem as the first season, in regards to missing some of the spark that the orignial games had. But the ending here is still pretty good and has a solid emotional impact. The characters are expressed well here, even if the gravitas isn't the same as the games. The problem of "serious moments not being taken seriously enough" that I had with the second season aren't as much ...

Mixed Feelings

6/10

After the somewhat disappointing first season of the Ace Attorney anime, my standards were incredibly lowered for a second season. Perhaps this is why I found it much more enjoyable, but it may just be the material. In essence, compared to the first season, the second season of Ace Attorney was a breath of fresh air and what I consider a somewhat alright way of experiencing the story.

The art style is, of course, the same as the first season; meaning that it is still not very good. However, I would have been even more disappointed if they did attempt any improvements that were more than ... just "minor." Completely changing the art style is not a good move, and I am glad that they had at least enough common sense to not do that.

The soundtrack is still great, naturally, as many remixed tracks of the first season are re-used here and tracks from Trials and Tribulations are also remixed here. However, I noticed that one of the most important tracks ("The Bitter Taste of Truth") was left in its original GBA/DS state or changed very minorly. This definitely stuck out to me as someone who had been enjoying the remixes already apparent in the soundtrack. However, I would say that overall, the anime uses more original songs and remixes from the first season more than newer songs. I did not like that very much, but it's not a dealbreaker.

The story here, while not as refined and complete as the experience in the game, is heaps better than the first season. Having 23 episodes for one game certainly benefitted compared to cramming two games into one season. I couldn't imagine the horror if they tried to combine T&T and Apollo Justice (absolute mess of a storyline, timeskip, etc.) Trials and Tribulations really made sense of the previous two Ace Attorney titles and made the story of the Feys, Dahlia Hawthorne, DL-6, etc. really interconnected more so than the other titles. The anime has the same effect, but naturally, certain emotions are lost from the format change from a game to an anime. Also, certain moments are completely removed.
I enjoyed the certain bonus episodes present as they gave in-depth looks into certain characters; although none of them are really canon and are just filler. However, as someone who is fascinated with fan-canon, I appreciate these episodes. There's even an entirely new "case," Turnabout Express. From the outset, you can tell it's not written like an episode in a pre-2013 Ace Attorney title, and this benefits it because it feels like it was meant for an anime rather than a game.

Once again, I did watch in dub mainly because I cannot stand JP Phoenix's voice and subtitles that don't have the localized versions of the names. However, this time I didn't bother to watch the sub so I can't give advice about it. Dubbed voices are pretty great overall, and I especially like Godot's voice compared to the original game. Other highlights include Phoenix, Edgeworth, Franziska, Luke Atmey, Jean Armstrong, Mia, etc.

I did enjoy the anime, but once again I would recommend playing the game for the full, "definitive" experience. But if you've already played the games, I recommend that you watch this.

Please go play the games, don't watch this...

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations is one of the greatest Anime games ever made, I stand by that statement. How do you take a character like Godot, who is arguably top 3 Ace Attorney characters of all time and turn it into this...?

STORY:
Gyakuten Saiban: Sono Shinjitsu, otherwise known as Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations follows the story of that game while adding in meaningless filler. Recipe for Turnabout is unsurprisingly the worst part of this Anime, as it was with the game. Overall, story wise most of the important details are there.

ANIMATION:
I really try not to ...
