The animation is pretty ok, great soundtrack and feels comfy to watch. But I disliked how the first case was rushed and they removed some great moments like Sahwit throwing his wig into Phoenix's face.

A bad start to the season to say the least.

The case was rushed, the animation seemed subpar given the first episode is normally used as a first benchmark and overall it seems like they are focusing the effort on the wrong parts of the cases/story (which is kinda the whole key strength the series offers plot wise, whodunnit/howhedunnit/howdoweexposethemgoddamnit)

I really, REALLY hope this was just a matter of them wanting to get the "tutorial case" out of the way so they can focus on the more meaty overarching plot that starts in the first proper case of the game and follows through to the last case.

This. The animation is shit and repetitive and it tries far too hard to show of its game roots with these obtrusive overlays.

Not sure to which degree you are baiting here (as you surely are) but if you ever wondered most of the original Japanese names were localized while trying to keep the puns alive.

Naruhodo = (a)w'... riiight. (I didn't understand one word there)
Ryuchi = Ryu is dragon but because English doesn't have it as a name they picked another mythological being, Phoenix (which also worked given his tendency to come back several times from cases that he should have lost hours ago).

It's one of the few cases where I believe the localization just nailed it with it resulting in a more enjoyable experience compared to if they had kept the Japanese names.

>>139502702
Well at least in the American courts, the 5th amendment states you do not have to incriminate yourself against your will, or 'be a witness against themself'. Simply calling the defendant as the prosecution skewers the viewpoint of the jury since the average person may think 'why don't they speak for themselves? are they hiding something?' when they're simply exercising their 5th amendment right. This can result in a mistrial.
>>
>>139502884

>>139502735
So because it's based of a game it's ok to put zero effort into animation and let the show look like shit? You don't need to be a genius to know that adopting a game 1:1 into a series is a bad idea.

Crunchyroll released two sub tracks, one for Naruhodo and one for Phoenix.

The Japanese law system is batshit insane.

In fact, even though Phoenix Wright is supposed to be an over-the-top depiction of it can (sadly) be disturbingly accurate at times.

The defendant is basically screwed beyond help, the police is incompetent and while the law technically states "innocent until proven guilty" the prosecution enjoys all sorts of priviledges and advantadges that the defense can't even get a sniff of.

Part of it is that if the prosecution is considered part of the judicial branch (not sure if officially but at least in popular depiction) rather than the executive and them losing a case also reflects badly on the judges who pass the veredict have an incentive to also not lose face by having to basically admit a colleague colossally fucked up to the point they have to let a suspect go free without any charges.

Part of the reason the judge is depicted as being so aloof is that he is so old he has gotten into a phase of his life where he can just relax and let this Kabuki theater play out in front of him but also doesn't really care too much if he has to pass a not guilty veredict.

It's also why you will see him extremely pissed off at the police and prosecution if it turns out they fucked up in a major way (instead of it being a justifiable oversight/misinterpretation of the facts)
>>
>>139499827
This is how i feel as well.
>>
>>139503134
That's the attorney's job. He can testify and defend himself as much as he wants, but it's usually dumb to do that since Attorneys are usually smarter and know how to orate in court and interpret the law better than civilians. You are not required to defend yourself in court at any capacity.
>>
>>139503021
I did for example expect the woman to not say stuff like "It's important to believe in your clients innocence", or "You have to find a contradiction in the evidence!"
It's so fucking obvious that this is straight from the game instructions, where it might be ok as such, but as an in-character dialogue in a tv series it's beyond retarded, which is part of what I meant when saying you can't just adopt a game 1:1 into an anime.

Also because the plot follows him, he tends to give kind of symbolic "rebirth" to people around him, so to say (even if it's a little bit farfetched).
Every single of his rival prosecutors, for example. Arguably both Maya and Pearl. Many of his clients and witnesses finally resolve their life baggage in the court.
Also, the one time he got stripped of his badge? Oh boy, did he come back.

>>139503292
Normally, a harem anime has a really flat and one-dimensional MC. That's because by leaving out personality traits, the lonely betas in the audience are supposed to have plenty of room to self-insert and experience the ups and downs of a Real Japanese Cartoon Harem vicariously.

Something like this takes it another level, because even though a lot of other anime are based on games, this one has the distinct addition of being a more rational than emotional game. So by creating puzzles in the narrative, people can feel like they're playing the game all over again, and self-insert as "I am a very good player of this game."

And thus: We get the Dora the Explorer style narrative.

"Do YOU see any contradictions in the testimony???"
(*stands right in front of a contradiction in the testimony for 10 seconds*)

I actually enjoyed it because of just how exhausting it was.
I felt it really did justice to how hard it would be to catch that kind of guy in real life. Hell, the first two trials were basically just spent getting rid of the noise on the crime scene, draw out the information from the pair of angry cowboy cops and trying to prevent the judge from awarding a sentence, because there was so little information to actually go on. And then Edgeworth and Wright had to team up against him, and it was still a really close call, despite them both going full-on against him.
It made it really enjoyable to finally get him convicted. Also helped that he was a great villain and a cool character.
God, that case was great, in the most infuriating of ways.

I think you may have borked something up there pal.

I didn't mind the retirement itself but rather the fucking infuriating asspull they decided to use to put him in retirement given how much of a character assassination it was. Phoenix would have never presented that evidence. If that travesty of a case the end of the second game was taught us anything (and even the extra case on the first game for that matter) it was that Phoenix would rather pull every single damn technicality in the book than go the easy route and present evidence he wasn't sure of being 100% waterproof.

Him losing the case due to lack of prep time and/or his client being an ass would have had the same effect with him voluntarily dropping out due to taking care of an (effectively) child.

It was obviously a different take on it (and they had to condense the first game down to the barest of bones) but the acting, the CG and the directing + editting really sold me on it.
Plus, Phoenix Wright is one of those things were the Japanese tendency to overacti actually works in its favour.

The games are much better written and more entertaining due to them being much longer. It's also satisfying as fuck when you can just tell that someone's lying to your face and you fuck their shit up. You can probably emulate them easily enough or if you have a 3ds buy them all for like 30 bucks.

the CGI was weird and seemed really out of place, it was especially jarring in this shot.
I don't think it's all that bad though. The first episode is always the worst, and I expected them to breeze though the first tutorial case in a single episode, so the pacing made sense to me.
What did catch me off guard was them ripping Mia's tutorial dialogue and actually having her say it. I'm fine with references to the game (like using the same poses as the characters' sprites), but that dialogue just seems to off to justify pulling it straight from the game. Although she has to have a generic pep talk w/ phoenix anyway, so it would have been slightly cheesy no matter how they did it. Plus I'm a shonenfag, so I'm used to it

But it was. It was complete and utter shit.
It doesn't even try to use the tools at their disposal to make it look interesting. It just replicates poses.
There's nothing about Payne being a rookie killer, Payne didn't even talk most of the time. There was no Turnabout, ever. Phoenix lands on his first job ever running and doesn't ever stop. The one time he's missing a bit of data is horrendously overplayed since he figures out an answer in no time. And then everybody says "yes, that's the right answer" and carries along. There's no impact. It all ends up feeling unearned.
Even if it's the first case it should have been done in two episodes, with one cliffhanger in between. It should have taken its time to establish the world a little, and a little more work on the characters.

It was awful.
>>
Honestly wasn't as bad as I expected.

It's literally the tutorial case, no other case starts by showing you who did it and them openly stating that they need to frame someone

>But most importantly the case was far to simple and the caharcters too retarded. In a game this might not matter if the gameplay makes up for it,
You should be aware that you basically just watched someone playing a video game tutorial level. The first case has no twists, it's just a quick exercise in how the mechanics work.
>>
>>139503256
I also noticed that during the games Phoenix generally lives in poverty despite winning a lot of cases, and Edgeworth... well, just look at his suit.
Does it actually have a basis in reality too, or is it just "the protagonist can't be too successful for immersion" thing? How much does being a lawyer even pay, anyway?

Speaking of CGI, this would have been a great candidate for a full CGI show given the style of the 3DS games. We never would have gotten that seeing the budget of this show, though.

for me it's because it came on a time where the VN genre was basically non-existent in the west, PW is not a100% VN more like a puzzle game where you read a lot, it was a new idea at least for the west whereas Japan shits VN and similars by the bunch each year.

it helped it a lot here, the same happened with 999, it bombed in Japan but was really successful (for a VN in the west) here.
>>
>>139504891
the first case is easy, a toddler could have handled it. I don't think they would have done a good job if they dragged it into two episodes since most of the time will be just spent on Phoenix bluffing and thinking in a still pose and silence in the courtroom.
And the world is established mostly on the next cases anyway. I found it nice that they gave us a peek at Phoenix childhood without completely spoiling it.
But seriously, I'm being honest, the first case is just fucking awful so I'm not really surprised that you hate it, even if for different reasons, because there isn't much that could be done besides getting it out of the way first.

It was such a clever way of using the games concepts and applying them to movie language.

I think it's part of what makes me dislike the (first episode of) the anime.

It just feels lazy in comparison even if they are trying to stick close to the games.
They do not take advantadge of the fact that it's an anime and as such you need to use that audiovisual differently from the way it was used in the games to make it both interesting and compelling (both to fans and to new audiences).

I could potentially show the live action movie Joe McShmoe while just only warning that it's a mix of science-fiction and fantasy and wihle he'd consider it a weird movie it would be for the most part enjoyable, if not for at least the visual spectacle it provides.

>>139505064
Hm, let's think.
Justified: Larry, Maya, Edgeworth (though he could've paid him still, it's not like he lacks money), Lana (though she should've told her sister to get the money after what he did in the last trial), Maya (he totally should've taken the money at this point, though, but she probably didn't have much in the first place), Engarde, Iris (arguably)
No reason not to take money: 1-3, 2-1, 2-3 (double), 3-2, 3-3.

We get 7 against 5. Dammit. He actually has a lot of cases where he protects his friends.
I would still give him the money if I were in the place of these friends, though. I mean, the guy just acquitted you, it's just one of many ways to show I'm thankful, and he probably likes to eat occasionally too.
>>
>>139505471
>And any case that dealt with this guy.
You gotta love how von Karma is able to bullshit so thoroughly without even the slightest hint of remorse.

Edgeworth would at least cling to technicalities to be at ease with his own conscience when he was bullshitting while also arguing with himself that it was the defense's job to prove if his bullshit was actually wrong
>>
Haven't played any of the games, but I thought it was pretty ok. Made more sense than that detective show with the trap a few seasons ago, and Wizard Barristers. Helps I'm dumb as shit too so I have no idea why the time was wrong etc.

Can't weigh in on localization names since I watch the raws. Although Yappari/Yahari gave me a bit of a chuckle so maybe I'm just too easy to please.
>>
It's been a while since I played it, but didn't they present the 3 days trial rule right in the tutorial case? Are they saving it for later because they didn't have time for this episode?

To be fair, he feels indebted to a lot of them.
He wouldn't have become a lawyer if it wasn't for Larry, Miles and Mia bailing him out at different points in his life and given he cannot repay Mia's debt in full given she's dead he decides to transfer over that one to Maya acting as a sort of big brother figure the way Mia was one for himself

Also, regarding Lana it probably paid off long term given the help he or rather his disciple gets from said sister years later.

Yeah, but still, being indebted is about him taking these cases in the first place and overworking on them, even against the client's wishes sometimes, but not paying him after that just because "you're already in my debt" honestly just sounds wrong.
I kinda wanted to play the "never work for free" card, but honestly, I can't blame him for taking these cases without discussing the payment. All of them were completely justified. It's just, I would expect his friends to pay him afterwards even if he didn't discuss the payment at all beforehand.

Plus it wouldn't make for a very compelling game unless you want go through a dozen small claims and misdemeanor cases were both parties are flinging shit at each other for what are basically things the law barely covers in a manner detailed enough to get a clear-cut veredict.
