THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Hmm this case is quite something especially with the evidence presented.

Naruhodou makes a good judgement against Mei Karuma. Where did that mysterious wind come from again?! One of the funnier cases imo this episode.

Karuma Mei is a lot of trouble for Naruhodou. That whip of hers.
Lol all that wind gust.
Nice to see Harumi help out with the trial & even channeled Chihiro to help out as well.

Hmmm Kimiko is up to something.

More investigation & back to the trial next week.

Yes Franziska, but she somehow looks older in the anime even though she supposed to be younger than Phoenix.

What did they do to Mia!? I know hers are umm... big... but those look... grossly oversized to the extreme.

Looks like they need 2 more episodes to settle this case.

I'm so happy right now cause i solved the case myself in the middle of the episode AND before they solved it. seriously, i have never done something like that before xD
when they showed Mayoi's face (who was actually not mayoi), and connected to the duplicate key and my prediction that the guest at that time (the red hair girl) and the old lady (harumi's mother if i'm not wrong) working together.....that's when i solved it.

probably this is the only episode from this series where i was having so much fun xD and lol, i think naruhodo was a little bit late at figuring out the last SOLID proof that he has. because that time, Harumi said it to himself so i bet there is no way he forget it but lol....that was a little bit long to remembering it again.

great episode imo overall. and i see that coming that this case is still continuing to the next episode. but man, the culprit at this point is already too obvious. just look at the scene in this episode where the pink hair girl smiling like a bitch. that made everything looked more obvious xD

looking foward for the next episode.

Good episode but I can't stand how this adaptation essentially spells out who the murderers are through scenes that never happen in the games. (people who've played the games know what 2 scenes i'm talking about) It's like the show wants you to know who did as soon as possible, while in the games you often don't know until much later.

So.......Pearls is introduced so that we can have a constant channeling of the dead older sister lawyer. Too bad.......I really dislike Pearls. Next up we have the lion tamer prosecutor who is more annoying than her dad. Not a good series for me but the basic case is interesting.

The show just keeps getting better, honestly. It's a shame most people dropped it anyways.

Switching the "missing hole in the shirt" for the "missing crown decoration" actually makes more sense than most think. The judge rules that, regardless of what the defense says, it's all null until it's proven that someone could've entered the scene of the crime, even if the hole in the robes is missing. But realistically, that would make absolutely no sense, since there's no way to explain a contradiction like that. Replacing it with the crown, the case now becomes more believable than what the original video game portrayed. Good job, show runners!

I wonder if they'll do this for the next case...
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA!

My thoughts exactly, during my first playthrough of the game, the resolution was really surprising to me during that time. Which is why this case is still among one of my top favorites.

... but they somehow butchered it in like... 5 seconds.

This episode is good. We finally see Franziska animated and dayum the mix of wind blast and whip...she sure is ruthless. Pearl-Mia almost makes Phoenix and even the Judge embarrased.

I know for some people see some obvious stuff to see the mastermind behind this. But i think that doesnt matter for me. When it all revealed in last trial though... maybe for some new people to Ace Attorney will quite shocked.

Hope next episode Magatama will make an appearance. Since i forgot at what day Phoenix gets it but overall good episode to enjoy.

Normally he should've it by now, because he got it on day one in the game.
Well maybe they don't even add it to the anime, because investigation isn't fully shown. At least I don't remember the Magatama being necessary for anything besides investigation.

The fact that each case in AA has limited set of characters means the killers should be obvious. I mean, in every case, there is the prosecutor, your assistant, the detective, one or two recurring character and the new characters. The new characters are almost always the only suspects. I really do not see anything wrong with spelling out who the murderer is. A lot of newcomers already solve it anyway. The game just makes it harder than it should really be.

AA has always been more of "how do I catch the killer" than "who is the killer".

The Magatama does became the most iconic thing in Ace Attorney apparently. So yah besides for investigation it serves also as a charm i guess for the fans of the series.

They should stop making it super obvious, the scene where both the red haired girl and Morgan Fey talking wasn't in the game, also Morgan Fey's suspicious grins.
The game plays a suspicious sound effect note every time something suspicious is said by a character, I wish something like this was in the anime.
I don't remember the crown thing being an evidence in the games, that's an anime only evidence.
Anyway no one can predict the final plot twist of this case.

Well, looks like translators doesn't care about localized version anymore... There is so many mistakes in this episode... For example: Fran says that she abandoned her career in America... But they're already in America! In games it's Europe (Germany), it's America only in Japanese version.
Even Maya said Pearl name in a wrong way (she's using Pearly, not Pearls. Only Wright use that one).
Ugh, it's hard sometimes to watch, when not only animation but also translation sucks :c (and I'm still hoping that it will looks better later)

The little girl's summoning skills. While Franziska didn't seem impressed both Naru and Mayoi was surprised. In the case there are a lot of questions/things that trouble up. Specially the contradictions with the crown and the 'costume'. Don't remember much of this from the game, but it seems nicely done. Nice flow. The grudge the aunt has tho.. wonder what that's all about. Specially since her kid and Mayoi get along so well.

Up to this point I thought that only Nick could see Mia when she was being channeled because she was being channeled for him. But no apparently everyone can see it. Which begs the question why did nobody seem to notice this whenever Maya channeled Mia but now everybody notices all of the sudden.

Oh man, it seems like this anime is taking the route where you, as Phoenix Wright, can act like an idiot. It's not exactly a bad route in the game, as in it won't immediately lead you to a bad ending or game over, but in this route you basically choose to answer stupidly and then of course the rest of the characters would point it out. Also, I don't know if it's because they don't want to give away much of the answers of the game (which makes sense, especially if you get interested in playing the game), but I still prefer the clues that Phoenix Wright pointed out in the game because it made much more sense as to why Maya couldn't be the murderer. Anyway, enjoyed the episode thanks to Francisca von Karma's appearance and whipping. That always made me laugh ;D

Hmm, so I wasn't wrong, interesting developement. I just wonder how Nodoka (sister of the spirit) fits into this.

Have to say Mei is defenitely better prosecutor than her father, I really like their verbal exchanges.
This case is getting more and more interesting and even though now I already know who did it we still lack motive and I'm curious how everything was done.

Mei is so fine. She's tied with Chihiro in terms of best girl. I want to get whipped by Mei, but I don't think Charlie Harper would.

Holy crap! Little girl grows into the thickest adult in these 15 episodes.

lol Mei got wind raped by Ryuichi.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

This anime is good but it could have been even better if it didn't have a stupid judge, and people like this girl that can do whatever she wants lol It's so stupid.
It seems that this was all made up by Harumi's mother...
