And we're back in the courtroom!

Somehow, it felt like the show never left at all. Immediately, I got the feeling of Ace Attorney with a case taking place already from the episode. It did not take long for Ryuuichi to undertake the case and uses his knowledge to piece the clues together.

His opponent in court looked like a fool lol. Nothing but truth~

Suddenly getting hit, when he woke up, he got involved in a case where he doesn't understand. Police lady getting charged for killing his police boyfriend. Amnesia?! but his body remembers.

It seems like that flashy guy who claims to see the killer is the one who hit him. And too talkative. He's a rounin. lol too obvious. He said having a glass but not having glass right now. He saw that glove as banana, and called her so he decided to set her as killer. The girl to the rescue. List of the lost cellphone... people who trick people w. money?!

He finally remembers. So he hit him to get his own cellphone, the proof, back, but got the wrong one.

I like the ED, but not OP that much.

There are some noticeable improvements I've noticed. Enjoyed this more than I expected too, but hopes aren't too high for this season. Let's see where this goes.

I personally think we're off to a great start. The OP and ED aren't doing much for me, but I think the animation has gotten immensely better and the voice acting is great. Idk why we use the Maggey case for the beginning, thou. Oh, well.

I like the pacing so far, it felt like it took only 5 minutes. Opening is okay for the first half, the second op might get even darker later. And apparently they are skipping Dahlia tutorial episode tbh it's okay for me. The show will get increasingly good after Recipe for Turnabout that's for sure.

Godot ending when

I got kind of disappointed, since I was expecting Turnabout Memories. But I enjoyed it anyway. The pacing was good, and the animation seems to be improving. I'm excited for the next episode!

I was expecting 3-1, instead we got 2-1 which the first season skipped.

Oh well, next episode we see Godot!

I thought this was a really solid adaptation of 2-1. Also, because this season is 2-cour and covering only 1 game instead of 2 like the first season, there probably will be less pacing issues, which I hear the first season had.

I think turnabout memories its going to be before the fourth case because its important to the plot.
It will be dumb if they just skip it.

So the art is a lot better than the hot garbage we got last time. It's still not to the quality of the game cutscenes and the character designs look slightly off from their source material, but at least from a technical standpoint it is okay.


It's more likely than you'd think.





Pacing and directing in general are also better than the first season. There were a couple of moments that lacked the proper dramatic effect, but still an improvement.

Overall, it's still vaguely possible that they might not fuck up the best game in the main series? Like, this could potentially be a competent adaptation.

Nice way to start the second season, we had the objections, a turnabout, and Naruhodou never lost himself even if he did lose his memory for a while. A really good case to start, but I still hate to hear something, and read another, this sub with the localized names is an eyesore.

I'm torn.

I am replaying the series (I sell plasma twice a week and I can play this with one hand)

I'm close to the end of the second game and I haven't played this s3 since it's original release, so I've forgotten all but major plot points.

Not sure if I want to watch this or not; but they cut out so much anyways (but I'll still know every single clue the second I see it though may take the fun out of waiting this long to replay)

The worst first case in the series. The police clearly didn’t put much effort into investigating the case. No one knows how to spell Maggey lol

I’m at least looking forward to Godot’s introduction.

I'm kind of disappointed with this first episode, because it was not the first case of the 3rd game, but the 2nd :( The first case was setting the stage for the entire plot and it's just sad that it was skipped and probably tucked away until a flashback appears. Boo! At least, there's Godot. As long as he is cool, I'm good with it <3

I bet that the 3-1 is going to be at a later part of the series since it's confirmed to be a 2-cour anime (though not sure how many episodes exactly) plus there's gonna be original episodes

did they play the Ace Attorney 1 music. Or did they play the Ace Attorney 3 music. They probably didn't use the 2 music for one episode. Either way I hope they use the correct music for Trials and Tribulations. I didn't watch the new season yet cuz I didn't like the last adaptation.

1. You can but if someday you try to watch season 1 it will be spoiled for you.
2. I don't understand what improvements people are seeing (maybe some minor visual details). For me it's practically the some show.

Wait so the first episode of Trials and Tribulations was the first case they didn't do from Justice for All, even though JFA was season 2 of the first series they did?

Technically Mia's case is the first one in T&T and THEN the Mask DeMasque case, and here I am STILL waiting to see if they'll ever animate the Damon Gant case from the first game which should have been the ending of the first half of the first series, not Manfred von Karma being the 'final boss'

This is really all over the place, isn't it?

pretty hyped for godot but i am pretty sure they are going to skip last best arc again like they did with season 1(they skipped "Rise from the Ashes" from 1st game and they rushed the fuck out of "Farewell, My Turnabout" from 2nd game until it doesn't even make any sense anymore for the fans of the game)

though with little hope i have left, i hope they just animate this 3rd game as faithfully as possible and make 12+ episodes anime to adapt last arc

Edit: damn i didn't realized that the anime already airing and it's confirmed to be 24 EP, i am so out of touch with anime nowadays, sorry and i am getting hyped now. half asleep when opening this page when someone mentioned ace attorney 2nd season

Nope, it isn't all over the place. The order makes sense being in anime medium.

1) Do we really want to have a 2-1 at the middle of the first anime? Its purpose in the game is tutorial/review of the game mechanics. Story wise, it doesn't do anything, since there really isn't that much merit in introducing Maggey at that time.



2) RftA is a case that was added later in DS and wasn't included in original GBA version of the first game. Also, it doesn't add anything to the story of the orignal GBA AA trilogy. If anything, it should have its own anime or movie because it has its own distinct story, ideally before they introduce Apollo Justice (if they plan to adapt it). So Manfred being the final boss actually makes a lot more sense.

making manfred as final boss still doesn't make sense since he was dead by JFA(except if you are talking about 3-4 or at least original story)

personally i think the timeline will go like 2-1 > 3-2 > 3-3 > 3-4 > 3-1 > 3-5 > 1-5

why 3-4 before 3-1? because it make more sense for anime watcher only like that because they revealed who is the girl on 3-1 while keeping it secret on 3-4

1-5 purely hope from my part though since it's kind of hard to adapt it without destroying edgeworth's mentality on that arc(it's deeply connected to 1-4 so edgeworth is still torn and consider to retire as prosecutor)

Obviously not the case we were expecting since this was looking to be the start of Trials and Tribulations. This was one of my least favorite ones, so I was fine with the first season skipping it. Regardless, this felt like it was handled better than practically all the cases for the first season. Hope that's a good sign for what's to come, but I won't get my hopes up.

Based on the preview, looks like they'll be saving the 3-1 case for later since they're jumping right into the DeMasque one.

On another note, the art is WAAAAAAAY better!

This episode really borrowed both the game's sound effects and screen shake. It's been a while since I saw the first season, but goodness. I really do feel like I'm just playing the game again, but at an expedited pace.
