| Today is pure Court scene as we all know. Since investigation part should've aired on previous episode. But 99% of it didn't included. I liked today's episode, still pacing is too rushed as previous episodes. And feeling is not really as we played the games. Because it's cutting out some things from court scenes. If possible I'd like to make it longer. IMHO I think this case should've run 4 episodes long. From the next episode preview, it seems they're cutting-off investigation part as well. Damn. It'll just become boring if all episode takes place in Court. AA games are fantastic because its build-up takes place in Investigation and climax takes place in Court. But anime is ditching the Investigation part completely. It's just wrong. I think no ladder and step-ladder joke :( |

Sorry for my bad English. |
| The spirit channeling caught me off guard. But i liked the episode. |
| I liked the idea used in pressure scenes, instead of cutting it all, they showed parts of it even being fast. Didn't show Konaka (Redd White) blackmailing Hoshikage, but at least Chihiro (Mia) said again that Konaka blackmails politicians, celebrities and the minister of justice, fine. |
| wtf are these lol |
| Sorry for my bad English. |
| This episode was a lot better then the 1st 3 eps ... |
 |
| It's still a painfully average adaptation, but this episode was the best so far. |
simonli2575 said: 3D people is best looking people. 5/7 Still frame would be whole universe better than this crap :D |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I wonder how many eps they will use for case 3 since it's longer than case 2 |
 |
| So Naruhodo saved his ass with some spiritual assistance from Chihiro. If this spiritual channeling thing is going to become commonplace, then maybe a supernatural tag should be added to the genre lol. I still crack up every time Red White speaks, that Engrish is too funny. And I'm still bothered by the localization of miso ramen = burgers. I want to actually see Mayoi eating in an episode so we can see what they would actually show her eating. Whatever though, onto the next case. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The moment when the Steel Samurai theme started playing, I jizzed in my pants. OH YES!! Otherwise, although the pacing is a lot better in my opinion, seeing how they dedicate this entire trail into a single episode, and the changes they made, such as Maya covering up for Phoenix (Phoenix was still a newbie, and Phoenix did mention Maya being rather sharp in the games); as well as that epic evidence attack from Mia. I think it's the right idea to remove the left/right inconsistency and jump straight into the glass stand issue, some clever directing, this is. |
 |
| Now people can understand why would be a waste of time Naruhodou crying a lot for Chihiro's death, why crying for a character that would come back for the anime? Not even did they spend time on more important things for this adaptation. However he was sad in house and office, really a fast scene, but he did. Yeah, did you see it? Supernatural of course! Now you see it isn't a usual courtroom show, and nothing weird coming from Japan or animes. thebrentinator24 said: (...) If this spiritual channeling thing is going to become commonplace, then maybe a supernatural tag should be added to the genre lol (...) I don't think that supernatural is so significant/meaningful, for me Chihiro is just a character that didn't left the plot/story even being dead lol (she will appears again, not really a spoiler ... I guess ... :x). But maybe you're right, put a tag is the right thing to do. |
| I see that the adaptation tries its hardest to ship Phoenix and Maya. Whatever floats their boats I guess, but God, don't wish-wash Maya in the process. She is saved by Phoenix more often than not, but they are trying too hard to fit her into typical damsel in distress archetype. Go home, A-1 Pictures, you're doing it wrong. |

| Sorry for my bad English. |
| Let the speed run investigation for steel samurai commence! |
 |
| so now he's the suspect and he will defend himself |
 |
| garbage/5 I can't watch this anymore... play the game people. This story is just too good to experinece it in such a butchered way. I mean, where is the epic soundtrack? Where is the tension? Where is the epicness? There's none of it, unlike in the game. |
 |
| Anime version of Cornered is fucking hype, bros. |
| After all that he just gets saved by a spirit in the end. He was going to lose but no he gets saved by a girl channeling her dead sister to notice the receipt and to get the guy to confess to the murder. Bleh, I'm not a fan. |
 |
| Cheesy/10 And needed more "Yes, I do". |
 You just lost the game |
In the anime? Definitely! Phoenix was always grasping at straws and bluffing the hell outta these trials, but it's like they tried to make Maya more relevant than Phoenix. Okay, we get it, she's cute, don't take Phoenix's work away for him, okay? Altough Anime!Nick feels completely like a different character than Game!Nick. No sardonic comments, no smarty-pants inner monologue, no edge. He feels like a stample shounen MC with a good portion of bland added to the mix. When the most colourful (and I'm not talking about his design!) guy in the cast is Redd White - the antagonist you should be booing - you know something is off. xXKeikoChanXx said: Maya definitely has been moefied by the adaptation though. Yeah, that what irks me too. Maya in the game is this lovely package of charming, quirky and mature at the right moments. What we get in the anime? Sighs, shiptease, seiyuu that's more fitting for main romantic option in some romance anime. Maybe it's fine: Phoenix is a bland shounen MC, while she is taken outta harem. I seriously don't like the characterization in this adaptation (among other things: Ace Attorney's anime is mediocre at best), one Edgeworth is passable. And that's only because he doesn't get more to his persona outside "cold, awful prosecutor" before Samurai Turnabout. |
| Basically Supernatural power save the day. i like episode 1,2 and 3 but this one....well, i enjoyed it, but for some reason, i think it was very stupid. that supernatural power scene that really bothers me. i think that was really stupid, on top of that, they use it in a show where the people are talking to eachother logicaly. if you put supernatural aspect in logical show, it makes me think it's stupid. but either way i enjoyed it, 4/5 hope i won't see that supernatural thing again. it's ruin the show imo. |

Indeed, this is a serious lack in his personality. |
| Foking magic! I would be absolutely fine with it if not for that last list she threw on him, it would be a lot better if they didn't solve whole case with knowledge of dead woman. This was almost like cheating. Even that, I enjoyed this episode literally from beginning to the end, it's pacing was good and it was executed well. Wonder if Chihiro appears from time to time in upcoming episodes too. |
| Finally... Case closed, show dropped. This is just too stupid/annoying for me to watch. |
| I seriously don't get this show.... In which country is it better to confess that one has committed a murder over confessing to blackmailing politicians and movie stars? If the dude had just confessed to blackmail, it would have been a much lighter sentence anyway, no? It's not like those people that he blackmailed couldn't help get him out or anything, he STILL has the dirt on those people afterall... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| It's a shame they left out the "direction Mia ran" thing. As other people said, leaving it out makes White look less suspicious. It's only on this episode that I realized 24 minutes is not enough for a game like this. That said, I did really appreciate the part where Phoenix was desperately trying to cross-examine White and when he was clawing over evidence. Also, I didn't like how they cut the Pursuit theme short, and went to a much calmer march right afterwards. Could have kept the song going. : I'm loving Maya's voice more and more with each episode. Also, I noticed a weird effect. In some scenes, it's as if the whole video was darkened, before brightening up again in the next scene. It really threw me off. |

| It was okay. Since I don't know the games and I don't like the judicial system I'll drop this show here aftere episode 4. Once you get used to it the comedy is okay. Also the whole judicial system feels like comedy. But story/plot is not that interesting. I wanted to know about the big company guy which made me watch up until episode 4. But not that this is finished and some other boring cases might start I'll drop it. I'd prefer a more serious show where the prosecutor and judge try to get to the truth instead of just winning a case (prosecutor) or being utterly stupid (judge). Also the supernatural stuff (girl getting possesed by the death woman which then helps the main) is not something I like in this context. |
| ehhhh i'm not a big fan of the supernatural stuff. :/ oh well. |
 |
| I didn't think much of it when playing the game, but when watching Wright/Naruhodo get arrested, I realize just how messed up their justice system is; when all it takes is for someone to point their finger and say "it was him!!" to get the police to arrest and immediately indict someone for murder, with zero police testimony before the trial (when they normally do questioning on the POI first). As to why he confessed, I'm guessing he would have been in prison a lot longer for countless crimes that would add up and put him away until he dies of old age, than one count of murder which he still has a chance of getting out alive, especially if on good behavior--something I think is stupid in of itself . As for the supernatural element in this series, it may seem out of place, and yes, at the beginning, it's just a sentimental plot device for now. But it plays a heavy role throughout, later building up to the climactic end of a certain evil person....though I don't know if they'll animate it that far in this season. Get ready for the most obnoxious, annoying, cringe inducing woman in the entire series franchise next week. |

| It kinda ruined it for me when he still needed help from Chihiro when she is dead already... but I guess it will happen again due to Mayoi's channeling power. |

| In violation with: Knox 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 8th and Van Dines 1st, 5th, 8th, 10th, 15th, 17th, 19th, and 20th b) |

| It'd be nice if they made Phoenix slightly more competent. In the game, you're forced to rely on Mia for the last piece of evidence on the receipt. But really, Phoenix should've realised that the lamp was new since he works there. >.< |
| The closure was nicely done. The anime courtroom is a tightly run affair with delays, hidden evidence, and screaming in the middle of the courtroom by a lawyer. All is fair in the imagination and anime law proceedings. |
 |
| Exciting episode. Things seem to be getting better for the anime, which is good. That possession part was weird though. .. why did it change her physical appearance? lol. I also hated that purple hair guy. The way he acted was pretty ugly. |

Although this case was short, so Knox 1st doesn't feel like it should apply. Since at no point in the game guessing is a viable tactic, so the case in the game doesn't break Knox 8th or Van Dine 1st. It's hard for me to tell if this case in the game breaks Knox 6th or Van Dine 5th or 15th. As for Van Dine 20th, the case in the game definitely doesn't break it (and that's one of many reasons why this anime sucks) – Phoenix finds the list in Mia's files, not gets it written down by a spirit medium. As for supernatural stuff in general (Knox 2nd and Van Dine 8th), the first game uses it only to give hints to Phoenix, usually those hints would be obvious to someone smarter. I don't know if preventing Phoenix from being an idiot and not looking at the evidence is a violation, but that's all Mia's spirit does in the game. Nicromatic said: In the game, you're forced to rely on Mia for the last piece of evidence on the receipt. But really, Phoenix should've realised that the lamp was new since he works there. >.< You're making a really good point here, but on the other hand what would happen? "OBJECTION! That stand was bought merely few days ago!" "That's interesting. But since you're the defendant, I can't accept your words without external evidence. Do you have any?" "..." And back to not knowing about the receipt. Konoetan said: That possession part was weird though. .. why did it change her physical appearance? lol. I guess it's probably because the game did it: you can't change voice in an unvoiced game, and name change is not that noticeable, so they went full oppai, and the anime simply follows suit. --- Now, about the anime... I'll stick for one episode more. One last chance for the show to redeem itself. I liked the Turnabout Samurai case, and I guess it's a bit more "normal" than Turnabout Sisters, so maybe, just maybe, it won't suck that much. |
| Yet another miso ramen = burger. Turned out they're gonna adapt the Turnabout Samurai case (1-3). Oh crap that annoying old hag gonna get animated (ﾟ дﾟ lll) Konoetan said: It's just a depiction of the body possession, to ensure the viewer that possession was taking place. It's actually Maya/Mayoi's body with only Mia/Chihiro's voice, because only Wright/Naruhodou noticed. If it's the actual body growth, then the whole courtroom would be shocked.That possession part was weird though. .. why did it change her physical appearance? lol. |

It will become useful in the following episodes. Aaaah, I see now. Thanks guys. |

| Oh, so the hamburger was miso ramen, and Maya calling Phoenix 'Nick' was Mayoi calling him 'Naruhodo-kun'. Never bothered to check what the original japanese was for the Ace Attorney games, so this anime is a good way for me to check the original sources, in a way. |
 |
| Still a bit surprised that people are dropping this anime due to reasons being "not serious enough", "an insult to the system" and "supernatural elements". These are all in the source material folks. The game was meant to be a parody, not to be taken too seriously. |
