THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I think that woman has some a weird hair style hmm

We get a miko theme episode which is kinda different from some of the usual episodes. Mayoi looks adorable btw in her outfit. The buildup of the mystery seemed somewhat interesting especially that cliffhanger. Glad to see the case revolve a bit more about Mayoi.

I really liked the new OP waaay more than the previous because it was nothing like the first, although I liked the previous ED more than the current. Not to say the new one is terrible but it was just a matter of preference that lead me to like that more. Visually it looks fine although there are still problematic frames (like the silly run by Phoenix and Lotta in the hallway which may really turn off some) that were, fortunately, bearable, at least for me. I just want to see the next episode!

PS Apparently we are getting the circus case, as seen from the OP. I hope it is better than the game so the people who hated it will not be disappointed. We might not see the tutorial case though, which was skipped.

Nice OP song. Quite catchy & the visuals for the other upcoming cases. ED song is not bad as well.
Well Harumi is adorable. Sweet that she wants to help Naruhodo with the case.

Poor Mayoi the Prime Suspect in another murder. Back to where Naruhodo & Mayoi first met.
Looks like he is going to take on another Karuma.

Next week the trial.

Ace Attorney anime is still Ace Attorney anime being the Ace Attorney anime, i.e. it's fine.

The new OP is far, far better than the first, although...it shows a couple of interesting things.

I'm more excited for this as I vastly prefer the story of Justice for All to that of the first game (including the Big Top case), so looking forward to seeing what they do.
I'm an eternal optimist and frequently disappointed.

I actually quite like this new opening. Way better than the first.

Lots of Derry art in this episode. Especially with Dr. Grey.

Poor Maya got arrested again lol

Pearls is pretty damn adorable. Ed with her and the animals is cute. Although I still prefer the first ed overall.

Franziska hype!

Mayoi is the suspect again, They gave Mayoi a different voice and only showed her back unlike in the game.
Lots of unexpected surprises and plot twists in this case, definitely the second best case in Justice for All and one of my favorite cases in the franchise, surprised me a lot.
New op is ok, New ed is a disgrace compared to the amazing previous one, shit is supposed to get somewhat real and you give me a Pearl with pets centered ending, wtf man.

Please don't say they're erasing magatama in this adaptation, although it would be hard to animate...
Let's not Quickly assume things though...

Opening is better, with lots of spoilers there :P
This only tells that crappy circus case will be animated, the horror...

That's what I'm thinking too, ever since saw the new OP.

They skipped weather reporter girl joke again.
Byrde case is also skipped.

Green rock krypton is for next episode I guess.

The aunt seems miiiighty suspicious right now. I bet her and the red-haired sister had something to do with the murder.

That sneaky walk was reminiscent of Lupin III, cracked me up.
And seriously, is that detective the only one in this world? I get the feeling that even if Naruhodo went to South Africa, he'd still be the only detective to appear...

I guess but can you honestly say you wanted it to be adapted? I mean I love the idea of phoenix getting amnesia and trying to solve a case the problem was it was poorly executed in the game and I doubt it would be adapted well.

Looks like Maya is in some deep shit right now. Lets see how Nick holds up against yet another von Karma.

Lol it really does seem like Detective Gumshoe is the only detective around. And what the hell was up with the animation on the part where Nick and Lotta were sneaking around? It made me laugh since it caught me off guard, but I'm wondering if that was done intentionally or if the animators just got lazy.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

This is my guess; There are two culprits who were working together. one from inside the village and one is the guest. the one from the village, i'm assuming is Mayoi's aunt and the guest is the girl who is the girl's who got car accident and died little sister. Obvious there are two keys to the chamber. the real on was in Mayoi's clothes. and the duplicate one is in the tool to burn things (i don't know it's name) which that little girl found. Mayoi's aunt telling the guest who is resting in the back of the mansion that she hides the key inside that thing. The girl took the key and bam. but it still doesn't make anysense to me cause when Naruhodo broke the door to see what's going on inside, Mayoi was already holding a gun which makes it harded to belive that she didn't kill him. but it's not 100% fix yet that Mayoi did kill him. There were two shots, one missed. and one stab. for the stab/knife, i kinda doubt Mayoi did it cause there was no knife in the chamber. there was only gun and it was inside that old man's clothes. so i'm assuming the one who stabbed him is the guest. but i don't know about the gun shot.

overall. interesting case as usual but it's a little bit predictable imo. let's just see what will happen in the next episode. looking foward to it.
the new op is better than the previous one imo :D

I'm impressed! But you'll see how this case turns out at the end ;) the things that don't make sense right now, will make sense later. And ofc, there's a plot twist.

Chronogically the tutorial case happens after this one, so they can still adapt it later, but then again neither Maggey nor Wellington show up in the opening. It's only a problem if they decide to make Trials & Tribulations season, because spoilers. If they won't, then skipping it is all for the better: this episode alone got a far better pacing than the entire first game's adaptation.

There were two people in the car. One survived. Hmmm. Main suspects are the aunt and the sister of the dead nurse. The child shouldn't be involved, otherwise she wouldn't give Naruhodou the key and be surprised.

Also much cringe at this line: "Mimi's spirit did it."
He knew that the key wasn't in the room at the end. So how in the world does he assume that it's a spirit? It neither helps Mayoi mentally nor is it a logical conclusion. If the key moved out of the room and there is no duplicate (which we assume, else this whole investigation is meaningless), then somebody had to be in the room and they killed the man.
...

And what follows is a sadist prosecutor with a whip. My god.

The new opening is very good, sounds more like what a Ace Attorney opening should sound like, as it incorporates elements of the original soundtrack into lyrical form.

Using the police station's mascot in the ending is ok since they skipped that case.

Liked the new opening.

This episode starts with a woman driving into a wall. Later its said she is the one who killed 14 people by mixing up medications, while in the driving she said she was killed by a man. Assume its the director due to all the talk and what happened at the end with the spirit channeling (where he wanted to end the spirit again--).

Mayoi is once again in a pinch (this time as well, she don't know how it went down) and is framed as the guilty. The sister of the one who was summoned napped the whole time? ... suspicious. As well as the Aunt. The way she talked about Mayoi was almost like: (.. ) Who tried to get rid of the key? Harumi was super cute where she made Naruhodo blush.

Not finding those two funny is a big one. Same goes for Max Galactica. He can come off as really obnoxious as well.

Further details in spoiler below.


Third cases in general tend to be disliked, they come off as pointless filler and have very little development outside some character moments for the prosecutor, the exceptions being the ones in the Investigation games and Dual Destinies.

I guess that type of humour is not for everyone, but It's one of the central points of the franchise so I thought all the fans love it as much as I do. Seems I'm wrong.

I also understand what you say about the third cases, but c'mon, not EVERY case must be related to the development of the main characters, that would be stupid.

I liked circus episode, how it ended, how Phoenix (me) cross examined "witness".
I think characters are very good developed. For me it's better than Steel Samurai case. Plus for lovable characters.
