Personally, I found Ace Attorney very enjoyable to watch; it’s a good example of what an anime adaptation of a game should be like. We follow our protagonists in a fairly faithful (albeit, heavily condensed) retelling of what takes place in the games. The tone is more comic than that of the games, with the show being heavily embedded with puns as well as general sarcasm and wit from several characters (particularly Phoenix Wright himself, in response to the simple-mindedness of those around him), however this is not uncommon with other media related to the franchise, such as the film or stage plays. The comedy ... that encompasses this show, combined by the nostalgia evoked by it and the fast pace which retains viewer attention, make for an amusing legal drama that is certainly worth the watch.
The animation isn’t the best, but you can still feel the intensity of every “Objection!”, “Hold it!” and “Take that!”, which is all that really matters.
The soundtrack is perfect, of course due to the incorporation of music from the original game which was intended to draw players in, maintaining their focus and attention (an effect which is preserved in the anime). The opening songs are genuinely brilliant and really amplify the positive spirit of the show.
Both our honourable protagonists and the several antagonists they face, although much less fleshed-out than in the source material, retain their singularity and memorability. Phoenix Wright is, as per usual, an admirable main character who retains his ingenuity and perseveres in the face of injustice. It remains obvious that his opponent, prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, is the same austere yet honourable character he was in the games. Maya endures as innocent, charming, and devoted to helping Phoenix, regardless of whether it’s to his benefit or detriment! Others are similarly characterised as they were in the games.
To conclude, I enjoyed every second of this anime and I’m looking forward to watching Season 2, which covers T&T. It not only kept me interested, but also thoroughly entertained.

WARNING: Major spoilers

Sword Art Online is an anime that has a special place in my heart for being one of the first that I watched in 2021. It's also terrible.
In all honesty, I think the concept is incredibly distinctive and has a lot of room for opportunities, and in at least the first half of the season, the anime's plot is well-conceived and the show's progression is intriguing and keeps audiences interested. Mid-way through the show, where the revelation was made that several people did not manage to escape the game after it's completion, also gave way for opportunities to take the plot and run ... with it, but the route that was taken was arguably awful. ALO was the first in a run of disastrous SAO copies in an attempt to develop the story, and in my opinion, the ALfheim arc was by far the worst during the entire run of the anime.
UNPOPULAR OPINION, I liked most of the characters (especially Akihiko Kayaba) but the plot point of Kirito's sister being attracted to him was disturbing and unneeded (there are already countless other female characters attracted to him), and Kirito would 110% not be such a chick magnet irl. He looks like every other anime boy, only difference being that he's a socially reclusive nerd who's obsessed with VR games. Also Oberon sucked and Asuna's character was ruined in ALO arc.
