I still find it funny that when Edgeworth said that he is a big fan of Steel Samurai he was actually telling the truth.

Edgeworth objections were underwhelming compared to the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe2D6c0Ttj4 Just look at 3:30 and 5:50.

I don't like that they spoil plot twist in the previews.

Next week starts the second best case ever.

Why there's suddenly wind gushing out of nowhere..!?? Lol even the game didn't have that and everybody didn't mind especially Vasquez that got direct hit and broke her smoking pipe. It's kinda cool though, at least anime has something unique to it other than cutting contents of the game.

Edgeworth was moved by Cody's action. And nobody in the courtroom noticed Oldbag moved so fast to stop Wright and gave him the key evidence lol ( ̄▽ ̄)

I was wodering why only the desk on the left side cast a reflextion on the floor and not the witness desk or the fence. Is this some sort of magic? In the other shots this didn't strike me that bad, but in the image its quite disturbing.



The pace of this show is keeping me wondering if this really will be a multi-cour anime. Its progressing pretty fast, but I don't know how many cases are left or if they may cover multiple games.

It would be really interesting if someone would have counted all the "Objection!"s and listed how many were yelled in each episode. Thats his trademark thingy right?

This episode wasn't able to keep my interest over the whole time but maybe it was not bad. I rate it 2.5/5.

It was confirmed that this adaptation will cover the first two games of the Ace Attorney series.

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1508605

There will be a total of eight cases, if they skipped the fifth case of the first game (which was later added in during the NDS port and many believed it will not be adapted due to it being very long, I am guessing it might take around 8 episodes alone).

So, three done, five more to go.

And yes, the "objection!" (igi ari!), as well as "hold it!" (matta!) and "take that!" (kurae!) are all trademark yells of the series.

Finally a good episode with lesser comedy and more serious business. Some scenes are still a bit weird (objection, because objection etc.), but this episode shows a step into the right direction. Especially Edgeworth shows improvement and development, which further attributes to an overall improvement.

Still rushed like hell, but whatever, I've made peace with that.

I wonder if anime-only watchers really understood the motives for everyone's actions.

In the game it was strongly suggested that the man that Hammer killed "accidentally" was really close to Vasquez, so she carried a grudge towards Hammer and made him act for pennies to make up for that and also made him only play villain roles. Before that he was considered a big hero for the kids. So he was jealous of Powers for playing the Steel Samurai who the kids love and decided to frame him for the murder of Vasquez.



They dint implied that at all, she just happened to scream when manual died, which would be the really normal things if you happen to witness the death of one of your employees.

But in any case, it was an allright episode. My only complaint would be how the "I Object, that was......objectionable" scene took itself much more serious than the game


This doesn't explain why she went through all that trouble to extort him and ruin his career and at the same time cover up the whole story and "erase" the witnesses instead of just turning him in. She would not go that far if she wasn't personally involved.

Also, calling someone by their first name (Manuel) suggests more familiarity than just an employee relationship.

You are right they did not state this explicitly, but I felt it was strongly suggested. I feel that gives a good motive for Vasquez's actions and makes her a more tragic villain rather than doing it "for the evilz". I always felt she was one of the more sympathetic culprits in the game with her "crime" being self-defense and with her gracefully admitting defeat when she knew she was beaten. At the same time Jack Hammer is one of the more scummy victims, trying to frame the innocent Powers.

Finally, this is the first time that i liked Reiji, he finally saw that he was protecting a guilty person, as he said in the end, it was all because he was a big fan of that TV-Show ;)
I knew it!!!! Before watching the preview of the next episode i thought that their next case could be Reiji being accused of a crime and the only one who will help him is Ryuuichi. And "bam" i was right xD It was the only possible way since he said they are enemies now but as Reiji said, they were probably friends in the past.
It was so satisfying watching Reiji and Ryuuichi owning that bit** xD

The case would've been 10 episodes if they didn't rush it, but it still felt like way too many details were left out. Sure, they get to what happened, why it happened and the outcome of the trial... But there aren't really any emotions here or reason to why people do these things...

Also, the lack of any "over the top" facial expressions from the games makes everything seem so... serious as well. Even when they're making a joke.





Fine case, but could've been done much better. Let's see how the next episode will be~

WTF IS THIS EPISODE?
I thought a previous episode worked good by changing things from games. But I was wrong. That change made in previous episode ruined this episode, most important moments, t bone steak evidence and cardbox joke as well.

Kid running freely in court room is totally fine huh? As bonus sneaking into it again (where are bailiffs?)
Taking most important information when all people were distracting? lol

At the end of this case supposed feeling isn't like that "I FUCKING KNEW IT. PRODUCER WAS A KILLER."
It's actually "Woh woh woh, so she's not a killer? What a twist. She just self defended herself" feeling

But couldn't adapt this way.

Also they really should stop using this stupid objection-shockwave thing from Marvel vs Capcom games.

Fuck, just play the main and spin-off investigation games first.
Then watch this after for "anime".
At least Edgeworth is less-tsundere in the games. (I'm not referring to post trial conversation between Edgeworth and Phoenix)

Revealing his "Steel samurai fan" side was too early as well. Because at that moment you actually feel like Phoenix (saying him liar)
It's revealed in the next game.

at the end everybody was watching the show on tvs but Mitsurugi (Edgeworth) was watching it on his laptop, I bet it was kissanime.

He's a prosecutor. He wouldn't watch anime from illegal sites.

Again, i dont see nothing weird by them calling them by their first name in the first place.

At the end of the day you are using assumptions on vaguely hinted things to use against the anime in comparison.The anime has it flaws, but this is not one of them.

I agree that scene should've stayed in. It's a bit absurd that we get a "full story" breakdown for Sahwit and White but not for Vasquez.

I also think the 5-year incident being introduced on the down-low felt a bit like a deus ex machina & didn't have enough time to sink in. In the game, this was a nice bit of backstory because both Vasquez & Hammer are presented as gray characters instead of good guy/bad guy. There was a scene where Phoenix asked why Vasquez would exploit Hammer over an accident and she says something like, "are you sure it was an accident?", though it's never explicitly answered.

...honestly, I do enjoy most of the anime's departures from the game, but there are spots here and there where I think, hmmm, that omission kind of flattened a character / made it harder to suspend disbelief.

Must admit that the animation has improved if compared to the other episodes. Still, the episode wasn't as rushed as the others although, as other people already stated, Dee's reasons and all the background of the victim and his envy towards Powers weren't rendered as they should have been.
To those who are watching the anime for the first time without having played the game, it may look as no big deal, and I know that those who have played the game shouldn't complain since we've been waiting for this adaptation for too many time.
But they're wasting too many potential of this great series. I hope they'll soon improve as they're still doing, this anime deserves more, really more! :D

If they're going to adapt eight cases, that means that they're going to skip on that one with Wright's amnesia, the Justice for All case, 1-1, for beginners. There's a chance that they're going to keep the Turnabout with Ema Skye!
By the way, I don't know you all, but I'm hyped for the next case!

I've enjoyed this episode a lot. idk I think I'm enjoying it ever since ep. 1 even if it was rushed and simple to solve. hahaha This case was really interesting, and the Wright-Edgeworth collaboration they did to find out it was the producer was better than the previous cases in which Wright just pressed the witness crazily.

What is really bugging me is that it is reeeally making me want to play the games. I've decided to check how much the trilogy is and it's really at a good price. (the game in my currency is actually cheaper than the price I'd have to play in dollars, I'm shocked). I'm actually trying to save money but I think I'd enjoy the game a lot and now I'm not sure if I keep watching or wait until I make a decision so I won't spoil the rest of the game lmao

I was kind of upset with the ending, because a couple of the criminals in the game also had sad pasts, but the anime doesn't even try to get you to sympathize.

Dee Vasquez was a human just like any other, but the anime episode ended without her short and heartrending memory, so the anime just made her look like a criminal that lost miserably. (Whereas the game portrayed her as a human that had lost everything, twice, in [likely] unfortunate accidents.)

Everyone feels kind of shallow, in comparison to the game, I guess. (In general I think it's good, it's just that there's just too much content to transfer from game to anime, lol.) But cutting out the feels for the criminals is kind of sad, :<

It's really worth it. They go a lot deeper into characters, and some characters were even cut from the anime. (Or only got short cameos, lol.) Basically, you'll feel so many more feels. And the exciting/climactic points will get you so much more hype, xD

Pretty fun episode, although as usual I personally don't prefer the insensitive comedic timing during serious moment, I've come to accept that this is how the series is gonna be. Edgeworth's involvement in the solving of this murder case really make this one, and possibly the next one worthwhile.

I am so looking forward to the next case, mainly because I haven't played that part in the game. Iirc I stopped after this case, so from now on everything will be new to me.
