| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yeah compared to the previous I thought this episode's case has somewhat of a creepy tone to it at first. Naruhodou made some interesting discoveries before almost getting caught into some lewd mess. Ha, that would of been priceless. No real courtroom session debate yet but I think the episode conveniently sets up for next time.  |
 |
| It improved a lot. Edgeworth and Gumshoe's voices are great. Not to mention, the ost is getting better. |
 |
| This was much better than the first episode. Mia is dead and her sister is arrested for the murder. The hotel scene was awkward. It was great to see Edgeworth, Maya and Det. Gumshoe. I didn't expect von Karma to make a cameo appearance. The humor feels out of place though and kind of ruins the built tension. Also, it was weird to see another flashback of Wright's past. I hope they don't make this an every-episode thing. Excited for Phoenix vs Edgeworth. |
 |
| RIP Chihiro. Mayoi makes her appearance, but is the prime suspect. Looks like it is up to Naruhodo to defend her. Time for the trial to start next week. Naruhodo vs Mitsurugi. |

| Holy shit, I didn't expect Chihiro-san to die :O Nice plot twist. Way better than the first episode. I'm a bit mad that they toned Chihiro's death down. Can't wait for the court session. IGI ARI! |

| The episode was ok, nothing great. There is changes compared to the original game and I feel that Phoenix's flashback was unnecessary. Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. |

| That's what Chihirou get for not following family Tradition. LOL That Detective, his way of talking and acting is kinda funny and irritating too.  |

| Man it really isnt worth watching when you know the games. |
| I think the pacing is really good for the show when comparing to the game. The first case was short in the game too because it was introducing you to how the game worked. Making the 2nd case a 2 parter is good since we see what's going before the case. I have a feeling the rest will be like this. The faces Phoenix makes sometimes would defiantly seem awkward if I hadn't played the games or it had been a while. I think the humor is in the same boat tbh. The OST was pretty good for this one as well, I like that we got to see Edgeworth and Gumshoe. :D Great voices for both of them too! RIP Mayoi. 4/5 |

| So did Chihiro really died... I don't think so though |

pikagrue said: Steel Samurai Ballad spotted this episode! Hope this means the 2nd game is adapted. I found it a bit weird that they didn't use Heartbroken Mayoi or Turnabout Sisters Ballad, but it was fitting so it's fine I guess. The episode really was better than the first one! I liked the changes they made in order to adapt this properly, especially the scene with Phoenix and Maya at the detention center at the end. The music's pacing is a bit off though and while I do think the anime original OST has improved, I'm sad we didn't get to listen to Gumshoe's theme. |
| I liked Edgeworth voice. He is cheaper soundalike, but at least he is good cheaper soundalike. I definetely will miss Eiji Takemoto's voice, though. But what the f*ck did Phoenix object to in the end? |

| Definitely got better. Didn't expect Chihiro to die that fast... 4/5 |
 |
| Why does Edgey have that steel samurai figurine in his office, even though he hasn't met Oldbag yet? Disappointed at the lack of Gumshoe's theme and Grossbergs theme. Still pretty crap but at least it was better than the first episode. |
| Chihiro dies and the first thing Phoenix says to her little sister is "It's okay I work here" ? Yeah man. It's okay. lmao. Phoenix be like eh whatever. They aren't even trying to convey emotions here. |

| So many steel samurai shown in this ep. Loved the voice actors for Gumshoe and Mitsurugi. Best part is how cute they're making Maya appear. Also I imagine a lot of people are gonna drop the anime because Chihiro died lol. |
| Ah man, so chief really died.... Liked this episode. Better than the first episode. Hopefully they'll win this case. I still can't feel some of the comedy in this show, though. It feels out of place sometimes. |

| Sad to see Mia go so early in the series :( I still think that Maya's face looks too round in the anime. But it was still good to see her in anime form. Can't wait to see her eat some hamburgers Gumshoe may not be the best detective of all time but I still love the guy. Looking forward to some Phoenix vs Edgeworth action in the next episode. |
 |
| Why did Feenie object at the end? No one said anything. |
| This episode was pretty nice It made me really sad to see that Mia died but now a have her sister Maya who in the beginning looked like a total retard but as the episode progressed I started to see why she is so loved....That girl is way too adorable and kind That police detective has the perfect name lol, the way they just arrested and pinned this whole thing on her was so nonsenical to me, like why the hell would she right her actual name on the back of the paper like that lol Either way, this looks to be a very high profile case considering that some dude is going around blackmailing lawyers and also having that Edgeworth guy in the prosecution team..... Speaking of Edgeworth, my hype for this guy is very high considering that he's never lost before and his a genius/prodigy at his craft....I like that he and Phoenix has history together too so I can't wait to find out more about that...Part of me thinks that he and Mia were close too Overall I really liked this episode and I can't wait to see Edgeworth in action because I never thought that we would have gotten to see him so soon.....Also I ship Phoenix and Maya so hard right now lol |

| Maya's has a very adorable voice. While the episode is better than the first, it's still not newcomer friendly, A-1 is still revealing the suspect early on, so the suspense is not there for the most part, if you still haven't played the game, go do so right now, you cannot watch this anime only. Edgeworth looks great animated. xizor said: Edgeworth shouldn't have yet, I guess that means they won't adapt Rise from the Ashes. But overall the episode was amazing, this will probably be my favorite show this season. Most likely, it's not a big issue if this is based off the GBA games which does not have the 5th case. |
 |
| Nice setup to the next setup. I think foucs on Ryuuichi should've been more. The creepy tone to this episode somewhat rather didn't go with it. The MC and Reiji having a history was anticipated and i'm looking forward what the trial has in for them! Chihiro being killed gave us lot more context on MC.

| Police in anime sure love jumping to conclusions now don't they? Looking forward to seeing how Naruhodo will defend Maya. Considering how no one in the court rooms have seen the suspect yet, I'm assuming this coming trial will only be used to prove Maya's innocence, rather than actually pinpointing a true culprit? |

| Loved this episode! Some people sure like to give spoilers |
 |
| I went into this thinking that the first episode hadn't been so good, but I'm so glad they didn't rush everything into one episode. The exchange between Grossberg and Phoenix goes a little different in the game, but hey, what can you do? Guess they gotta cut corners and not everything can be exact. Edgeworth's eyes still look very strange to me, like they are way too close together, but overall he looks as miserable as ever. Reminds me of a villian staring out of that window, with his music. I enjoyed it more than the first episode though I'm not happy with their extremely obvious hinting.. There are a few things that I am probably misremembering, but with the game in mind: |
| Much better episode than the first one. |
| the journalism mistake tho better than the first episode but still underwhelming |
 |
yep, Mia's/Chihiro's age |
|
Didn't like the fact that they had so many hints as to why the killer is the killer. I get that they showed the killer straight out in the game, but at least it didn't point out how he is the killer so many times like in the anime. Also I know this is being overly nitpicky, but I kinda wanted to see the figure and globe in Grossberg's bookcase, but as I said this is me being nitpicky. But I like how cute Maya and Nick were when they both agreed on Nick being Maya's defense attorney. Can't wait to see how they interact in the 4th case. |

| The animation is very inconsistent... at some parts Maya looks cute, at some she just looks lazily drawn and ugly, as if her face was disproportioned. Detective Gumshoe obviously looks too skinny. At least Edgeworth looks great. It's actually nice to see they changed some scenes to make the investigation part run a lot quicker than it did in the games, otherwise the pacing will be way too slow. But some changes that they made were pretty poor, like Maya's phone being found in the plant is silly, and May was not shown shouting at the murder scene simply did not cut it. ...and what's with the sakura trees? Well as much as I am complaining, I am still glad that we can see Phoenix animated, so be it good or bad, I am definitely sticking until the end. |
 |
| Now, this episode was a lot better, I hope they keep it up! |
 |
| This episode was better, but mostly because the first set such a low bar, and because this case's story is just harder to work comedy into, with Mia dead, and Larry out of the picture. One good thing I want to say is that it seems to effectively convey the feeling of being thrown into the "deep end" of the legal system. The last case was just a tutorial, or a first lesson for Phoenix. Now his teacher has been taken from him, her sister accused, and the prosecutor is now much more ruthless. The scene where he finds Mia is... interesting. In the game, you already know Mia is dead or dying when you switch to Phoenix's PoV. Int he anime, you don't. ...except that because this anime uses next episode previews, it's actually a lot less of a surprise than it could have been. >.> I thought they were going to get the first investigation stage and the first trial stage into this episode, but I guess they'd have to cut out the OP, ED and next episode PV, and make every shot count to do that... My list of complaints is a lot more minor this time: - Maya's name written in blood - - The OST with Maya in the detention center isn't nearly sad enough. >.> - Could have used some of this episode's spare time to go deeper into the Fey family's background, particularly about Mia, her mother, Maybe in a future episode. - In the game, Grossberg never agreed to take the case, making it less obvious why he and other lawyers were so reluctant. But in the anime, we can already see who might be responsible. Surely the anime could be less blatant. - Grossberg's painting gets a long, full shot all to itself, which seems kinda over the top. It was merely a large background object in the game, and near the end of this episode, we can clearly see that it's missing despite not having the shot to itself. - The classroom trial ties into so it's kinda wasteful to mention it now. - If Phoenix wants to give Maya some encouragement, the last thing he should be showing her is that only 2 law firms out of a huge list haven't turned her case down yet. >.> - Too many sakura petals everywhere... I suppose they may be associated with a "new start"(?), but their usage seems over-the-top. - The amount of time spent on Phoenix's bike and on Miles' car seems like an overly-drawn-out and inefficient way of showing how much higher Miles ranks in the hierarchy of qualified law professionals. >.> |

| Hmm I wonder what Nadehado and Miles' relationship is...and lol at that "love" confession. |
 |
| Hmmm I suppose they're gonna skip with the 3rd and 5th case and solely focus on the cases which is related to which explains why |
