Sourire said: why was it so hyped? so average because the game is really popular and has a big fanbase, but this was the tutorial case This game shines in the emotional moments, as well as intense comebacks, which this episode lacked since it was solved through just one evidence presentation. This is 100% gonna be a bad adaptation though, subpar animation and pointless use of CG backgrounds, but hopefully due to the low budget this could mean we could be getting a two-cour as it costs less to produce. The only part I got a lot of enjoyment out of was the reenactment of the character's sprite animations, like Yahari crying. |
 |
| Wow, this was great! The adaptation even went with characteristic game sounds and cut-ins which was awesome. And to think they even had the guts to kill first woman right off the bat... I'm almost sure I gonna like this series. |
| AHHH *_* this episode was quite nice, I hope it stays like this <3 I want to play all the games again TT__TT I wish I had the time. My only problem is the original japanese names... XD |
 |
| That was about as mediocre as I expected it to be. Then again that case was essentially a tutorial in the game, hopefully things will improve when Edgey shows up. |
| If they put in cornered i will be a happy man. That song is awesome. I'm relatively new to the Phoenix Wright series but I love it so far(I'm talking about the games). The sweeping CG shot of the courtroom was a little bit jarring and the animation was meh, but apart from that I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I really hope A-1 doesn't drop the ball on this one. |
| FIND SOME TIME TO DO SOME THINGS |
| well i wish this was a bit more serious, but whatever ... |

I don't give a crap about voice actors so i looked what he was associated with in previous roles and i think he's decent. I don't hate Kaji at all (I like many of his roles) but his voice is so unfitting for this one, and unlike you, I do care for voice actor choices. |
| OST sucks.. thats one of the best things about Ace Attorney, but okay. Turnabout Sisters next, should be a little better. |
gedata said: Of all the things to complain abut is the pacing really one of them? I mean, it was bad I guess, but who really wants two episodes for just the tutorial case? First episodes are what people base their opinions on. If it is paced like ass and misses the whole point of what makes the games good(tension, great build up and mystery solving), then there's no real hope for the whole series. Tutorial case might be a tutorial case, but there are thousands of ways this could have been made exciting. Direct copy pasta of parts of the game's script is NOT one of the said ways. What we see here shows absolute lack of any sort of trying in adaptation. |
 |
| Let me hear remixes of at least 3 of these bad boys and maybe i'll overlook the cringe compilation OP and mediocre animation |

He did Eren (AoT) and Sonic (OPM) too and I think he got this kind of character in the bag. Wright/Naruhodo falls into that category as well. |
 |
| Bad first episode, i'm no lawyer or anything but i know a few thing from watching movie and stuff, and like they did so many thing that aren't allowed in a trial, i also laughed a lot at the guy getting hit by invisible attack from words, that's funny but because of it no way i can take this anime seriously ! |
| Probably something decent that has gotten a terrible adaptation. (Like Amnesia.) Can't they rewrite it into something fit for TV? >> Pretty much a joke since I have no background with the VN. |

I thought so too at first but honestly I don't think his voice is that bad for the role. Considering he generally is a good voice actor, as long as he flat out doesn't sound like Phoenix (which isn't the case), I can be fine with his voice. His voice is not my biggest complain with the anime, I said I didn't expect much since that was announced, I still feel him unffiting, but I have to get used to it. |
| if you truly were a mega fan you'd have known their name were changed in the localization and the ones you've seen in the anime subs are original names |
| As a huge fan of the ace attorney games, i literally completed all games in 6 months. I have to say i feel fucked in the but. Everything that was good was already in the game it self. This is a garbage adaption, it almost feels like a-pictures wants to make a joke of it. This franchise deserves much better than this piece of shit adaption, holy fuck. |
 .. |
| Definitely enjoying this first episode of Ace Attorney! After so many years of seeing the internet memes and only playing one of the games, its great to finally get an anime adaptation of the series. |
 |
| Loved it, hope they include more music from the games! I recently started playing the first game again too. I'm glad that it seems like they'll keep the reactions from people in the stand when you find the contradictions. Some of those are hilarious, mind you there are some freaky characters too lol. I'm guessing they rushed through the tutorial case to get to the longer ones. And the first cases of the games are all usually just quick shortened versions compared to the rest. So I'd recommend anyone not keen on the first ep to give a few more episodes a shot. Quite a few characters I'm looking forward to seeing. Hopefully it will be good throughout. |
| Mal sure has alot of geniuses >payed the game, giving the culprit and ton of help. None of you would have solved the case in real life since the alarm speaker was only discovered by chance and never told to you. Solid ep. Naruhodo = I Get It XD |

CynicalHater said: I was really disappointing. Not only were their names original (Prefer Localization ones), which I do not like. Crunchyroll did two english sub versions You just right click their player and select the alternate sub track and it picks the US ones. Unless nobody from horriblesubs uploaded that version, you'll have to pay for it like I do lol And just in case you're mad that the Japanese anime adaptation is using the JP names, you're a fucking dumbass |
|
| I actually like the op, but I guess everyone has their own opinions. I've never played the game, so I don't have many expectations. |
 |
| man this seems like a homosexual anime |
| This was a disappointing first episode tbh. As a fan of the original games, I was hoping that they would do a good job with the pacing and kept the original detectivey feel of the game. Well its to be expected since A-1 pictures is putting all their budget into Asterisk this season :/ |

same af lmao u mad bro 3spooki 5 me lelll  |
| They need to make the OST match the tension in the coury room. I thought the art was spot on and the VA's emotions matched how the characters should be feeling, but the music doesn't match. It is too mellow I think. Not enough drama or tension. |
 |
| I enjoyed this not the best but still enjoyable. |
 |
| I'm not liking the animation style, personally. And like @kaitonic said, it felt like an actual game, which wasn't really to my liking. I won't drop just yet though. |

James278 said: Oh okay. I thought it was a careless mistake.Yukino-shit-a said: You have a good eye. I honestly didn't notice that. But as others said, they kept it subtle but they meant for you to notice it.Lol wth is up with that hand? They showed that guy wearing a sleeveless XD and now he suddenly has full sleeved court and shirt XD. I know this is nitpicking but that's really just careless. |
| eh, it was alright. I hope its a little bit better in the future. |
 |
| okay, so i think i just realized that a lot of the charm of the games came from the localization the names, maya calling phoenix "nick", the goofy dialogue, the setting being in LA with frequent trips to Japantown (hilarious, and charming)... does ace attorney have a super plain, straight-forward script that got livened up for americans? is this going to continue to be super boring? |

They were originally Japanese world-plays for a Japanese audience, which the game localisation more or less was able to convey. |
|
| It was an okay first episode. I think if the cases become harder to solve and feel more rewarding when the bad guy gets caught this show can turn out to be really good. But if every episode is plain like this one this is just going to be another forgettable anime. |
 |
| Much better than expected, a bit sad that that girl died at the end though. |
| Animation was disappointing, however I didn't mind the voice acting and the episode was true to the game. The OP cracked me up, with the characters running blissfully through the plains to pop music. I thought the ED was cute. My favourite part would probably be the initial cross-examination, due to the familiar music. I was waiting for the "Cornered" theme to play, but it never happened... hopefully in future episodes. This is it below, I'm sure it will sound familiar: |
Mirai, zura~!  |
Darcsen said: You've just contradicted yourself... You say it's rushed because they cut out the "pressing", yet you also say the first case can be completed without any "pressing".The first episode was fine. This episode was based on the tutorial case and there isn't much to actually animate. I'm sure that starting next week, the series will become more enjoyable and "robust" in content. The first episode seems "rushed" because they cut out all the: "Pressing the witness for extra testimonies" segments. In the video game you would be pressing every statement to gain more information. Even then it's just the first case ever, you can complete it without actually pressing any statements, which happend in the Anime. It's rushed because they've inserted unnecessary things that don't serve to build up any tension, like Larry/Yahari butting in too often, shots of the classroom trial, Phoenix stumbling at the first opportunity to present evidence, the ED, and a long next episode preview. -Maybe- the next episode will be better with... Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| Animation needs work but it doesnt seem awful Also why does the opening just end hell abruptly lmao what the fuck is this anime its so bad seeing it in animated form that its funny. I'll probably stick with it. |
 |
| wow did she really just die :o |
 |
| Animation is pretty low budget was hoping at least the Obejection would be nice to look at. but going in with low expectations was a given these Aces games are kinda big time sinks so no matter how hard they try pacing is always gonna be a issue i figured why this first one was so quick and simple was because it was like tutorial level easy. ED is wonderful though. |
 |
| Decent first episode. I like how it was presented but the animation . ..could be better. Oh well, I guess I won't judge much since Konosuba turned out pretty good and it had it worse than this. (WhyareyousoinconsitantA-1) The ost remix wasn't that good though. but oh well. First case was interesting but I feel like the games do a better jo building the atmosphere. |
