Lol at Redd White referring to Japanese as "Japanish." He's pretty funny, too bad he's a complete scumbag. Let's see how Naruhodo gets himself out of this one. And wtf, that preview had such a huge spoiler in it.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

Meh. Everything's soooooo rushed! I'm starting to think that they'll skip "Turnabout Samurai", "Rise From The Ashes", "The Lost Turnabout", "Turnabout Big Top", and "Farewell, My Turnabout" and go straight from "Turnabout Goodbyes" to "Reunion and Turnabout" and finish it there, making it a 12-episode anime (4 episodes per case).

I laughed at Edgeworth updating the autopsy report because it is such a running joke in the games. Redd White engrish was good. Edgeworth's faces when Nick does an objection were great. Other than that this episode was not that good. Lol at the spoiler at the end. Mia looks good though.

Turnabout Samurai will not be skipped, Shu Takumi already talked about it getting adapted, RftA will probably be skipped entirely because it is not included in the original GBA games. Probably be made as movie or OVA. It will not be a 12-episode anime, it is (somewhat) confirmed again by Takumi that this will be a 2-cour (he hinted the show that it will run for half-year). I don't mind skipping lost turnabout and even Turnabout Big Top, which is arguably the worst case in whole of AA according to English-speaking players. 3 episodes for Turnabout Samurai and 5-6 episodes for Turnabout Goodbyes is the best way to go for the first game.

Really? Well, this gives me hope! I don't mind skipping The Lost Turnabout and Turnabout Big Top either. (I barely made it alive after having to deal with Moe's annoying personality, lol) But if it is anime will be a 2-cour, I don't see the point of rushing every trial and investigation :/ I hope it gets better. (I do have high hopes for the JFA arc tbh)

The first two episodes were great. Until this episode, where all the characters' names are subbed in english. I prefer Naruhodo > Wright. What a terrible decision of the subbers to make this change.

Saying Naruhodo in English translated game wouldn't be good. So they chose Phoenix Wright in the games I think.

About Rise from Ashes, it has some continuity errors.
Like chief prosecutor talked with Redd White would be Lana Skye.
But it doesn't look like.
Also in the beginning of the second game

Funny that Rise from Ashes episode has big role in Ace Attorney: Appolo Justice and Ace Attorney Investigations because Ema Skye is there.
Sorry for my bad English.

My god, the comedy in the beginning was so ridiculous!

overall, it was a very good episode imo. i seriously didn't expect Naruhodo would be suspected like that. but still the culprit is predictable. so Mayoi will be the lawyer in the next episode LOL ? Mayoi...in the PV.....NOPE! tits too big. Chihiro ?! :o

wtf with the english name btw ?! it's so werid to me or more like "what kind of name is that ?!"
i prefer the japanese ones rather than the english ones.

Man, they are rushing like hell this time...

The court examination was considerably shortened.

They dumbed down Phoenix as well. In the game he (well, the player) figured out by himself that the clock was missing its clockwork, but here he did it with Maya's help. Also, he figured by himself that April May was taping Mia's phone, instead of her just blurting it out. I realize they have to cut down stuff, but they should not do it at the expense of Phoenix's competency.

I was also disappointed they did not play "Cornered" during April's breakdown. This was one of my favorite moments from the game. Hopefully we will hear it next episode.

On the plus side, I liked how they have kept some of Edgeworth's mannerisms in court and we got to see his zombie-face for the first time.

Redd White's broken English was kind of funny. I don't recall how it was in the game.

Overall, my least favorite episode so far, hopefully things will pick up next week.

Personally, I don't have a problem with things moving too fast as long as what is there is done well. And honestly, I think they've nailed both Gumshoe and Edgeworth.

I'm getting tired ... it doesn't stop rushing, is killing all the tension in courtroom.



He doesn't seem arrogant as he should, I confess that I was very willing to see the punch scene,


It also didn't show Hoshikage saying he was blackmailed and giving his expensive painting to Konaka Masaru (Redd White), it would be relevant to give a demonstration of Konaka's power.

Yeesh, why are they rushing so much?! Are they gonna try to get through more than one game? IMO they don't really show White as that powerful, just more annoying with that accent ... yeesh. Plus all the witness' "breakdowns" are happening so fast lol. In the first episode and here as well. It looks like next episode is gonna be the last one with Phoenix having to defend himself :P
Also yeah, sticking with the English names since that's what I grew up on XD

Ace Attorney 6 will come this year, with the localized name (Phoenix, Edgeworth, ...) not the japanese name. If you take this anime as a giant advertisment for the game, it makes sense.

Very disappointed as a AA fan. Episode 2 was good, but this episode was just done very poorly. Court action is just not well done. Other than the severe lack of quality and the terrible pacing, main problem I have is that the music cues are abrupt and inappropriate. It makes the comedy seem way too forced. Don't use silly "comedy" music every single time there's a small break in atmosphere. Just showing the character reactions to the silly moments are enough to convey comedy.

I know the game is known for all of its silly character themes, but when you think about it the anime just doesn't really need all of that. It's fine in the game because its the background music, but When it's in anime form, its really just seems too inappropriate and distracting.

I am very curious about this scene though. Looks like Child Mayoi, Younger Chihiro and the fat lawyer were looking at somebody in black robe(+hood) being sealed of in a room or something. Could that be the reason why Chihiro was looking into the president?


I don't remember him being present for that in the games. Of course, I haven't played the first game in years.

Oh no, they skipped filler from the games and jumped straight to the important parts. No padding where Phoenix thinks about evidence or just questions witnesses during testimonies!

Anime adaptations will never be as good as the game due to the lack of what makes the games great = gameplay. But for an anime adaptation of the game, it's good. Of course, it could be better by being 50eps long, but I'm glad it's consistent and doesn't change stuff/cuts important characters/plot. I mean, it could have been like the Danganronpa anime, but compared to that this one's like a masterpiece lmao.

Just download the .rom and a Nintendo DS emulator from somewhere and read it. It'll be better in every way.

They cut a lot including the moment when Redd White punched Phoenix.
That was actually kindof important since it helped to cast Redd White as a man who knew he could get away with anything, be it random violence, or murder.

They're skipping not just filler from the game, but good content too, and they're adding anime-original filler on top of that, like Miles's car. >.>

Despite the live-action film cutting out even more, I think I prefer it since what it included was paced better and built up the tension better.
