The cast and staff members for the TV anime adaptation of visual novel Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright) were briefly listed, according to a Japanese entertainment news site. The series will adapt CAPCOM's visual novel and premiere in Spring 2016, to replace Kindaichi Shounen Jikenbo Returns (2015).

Staff
Director: Ayumu Watanabe (Uchuu Kyoudai)
Series Composition: Atsuhiro Tomioka (Pokemon XY&Z)
Music: Kaoru Wada (D.Gray Man)
Studio: A-1 Pictures

Cast
Ryuuichi Naruhodou: Yuki Kaji (Nanatsu no Taizai)
Mayoi Ayasato: Aoi Yuuki (One Punch Man)
Reiji Mitsuruji: Masashi Tamaki (Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns)
Chihiro Ayasato: Chie Nakamura (Naruto: Shippuden)
Keisuke Itonokogiri: Masami Iwasaki (Prince of Tennis)
Masashi Yahari: Tooru Nara (Chihayafuru)

The games follow the exploits of a passionate rookie defense attorney named Ryuuichi Naruhodou (Phoenix Wright in English versions) who fights for his clients in a courtroom setting loosely resembling that of the Japanese legal system, using investigative skills, cross-examinations, and evidence.

Both casts from both Nanatsu no Taizai and One Punch Man, huh.

I wasn't planning to watch this, but immediate put to "plan to watch" after seeing them. But oh man, so many Spring 2016 anime already "plan to watch".

"Ryuuichi Naruhodou: Yuki Kaji"

I don't know how to feel about this.

Also, I don't like how young Maya looks. I'm going to keep my expectations low.

They replaced the cast that was already perfect (and casted Yuuki Kaji of all people for Phoenix! F*cking why?!), they replaced composer, series composition is made by the guy, who worked on Blade & Soul and studio is A-1.
Never thought that my hype can die so fast.

These names are so weird after having the localised ones for so long.

Mixed feelings for the Phoenix's voice but the rest I'm fine with.

A-1 isn't even close to my first choice but I'm not super disappointed like some people.

Also Maya's face looks off putting :/

I think Kaiji will do fine. Oh yeah a licensed version if it follows the games should have both subs and to have an similarly overlocalized dub like the games for humor's sake.

Same director that did space brothers, also from A-1 Pictures. Who knows, might turn out good. The source material is legendary so hopefully it translates to anime-form well.

Now Kaji as Phoenix Wright is just fucking ridiculous, honestly. I was really hoping for Tomokazu Sugita or Kosuke Toriumi.

I really don't know why. That's the BEST studio (for me). I've watched many anime made by them, all of them are scored more than 8 except Ao no exorcist.

Anyway, I'm happy cuz A-1 pictures is going to adapted it. YAAAY for the casts <3

Can't wait ^^

I think it's worth mentioning the original cast:
Phoenix Wright - Takayuki Kondō
Maya Fey - Satomi Hanamura
Miles Edgeworth - Eiji Takemoto
Dick Gumshoe - Kōji Ishii
Larry Butz - Masaya Onosaka
Mia Fey - Sayaka Ohara

He's not bad, but not only he is absolutely unfitting for this role, he replaced original seiyuu, who is much more suited for the character.

No, he's great. But no matter who he voices, it always sounds a bit kiddy. He's good for characters that are 18 and younger.

It's not that he's bad.

He just keeps landing questionable roles, also the fact that he voices every protagonist (Kamiya Hiroshi is an exception). I think Kaji even voices girls now, the guy won't stop.

There aren't many male seiyuu voicing female characters, at all. Unless it's a side character, I guess.

I hope Aoi Shouta can do one, one day.
