You only have to play the first one to be able to watch this anime!
"Why is the anime so bad?": It's NOT bad, is just that.... not even counting the immersion u get by playing the games and finding the truth by yourself.... the anime is just too short to be as good as the games. The character development, the scenarios, everything just in just 12 episodes of 20~ minutes is not even close to be enough! On anime there's just seconds to watch some places, almost no time to watch closely each evidence, each person, each scenario, each crime scene.... no time to think either. That totally ruins Ace Attorney.
If it helps you to trust this random u know nothing about (or not whatever), let me tell you I played....
- AA1,2,4: More than 7 times each start to finish not skiping any case or text.
- AA3: 12 times already, and thinking about replaying it soon (best one!).
- AA5,6: Twice each not skiping anything (Unpopular opinion maybe but almost as good as AA3).
- AA Investigations 1,2: First twice, 2nd once. These are spin offs btw.
- Layton/AA crossover: Just once.
I also played every Android version of the games once.
PD: I know, I'm insane playing a game (specially a visual novel wich has no gameplay-reason to replay it) that many times hahah But that also shows how good AA is and how much I love it, so I really don't want anyone to kill their AA experience by watching first the anime!
