thanks, that worked! in that case it's probably only one entry in the rightclick menu because they accidentally used the same subtitle name.Can you click on the second English option and have the video reload? I did that and got the US Alt subtitles.

I enjoyed todays episode, love Lotta more in the anime adaption and her friendship with Phoenix. Also it's nice to see Mia again and having her in the courtroom.
I also thought the still with Pearls fixing the urn looks exactly like the CG in the game. So that was cool to see.

It's slightly jarring in hindsight as well, but the way the magatama sequences work would've been too slow-paced to be properly adaptable to a 20-minute episode.
Just finished Reunion and Turnabout. I teared up at the end
It has definitely gotten a lot better than the first few episodes! I'll wait for Big Top to finish coming out before I watch it, but I'm optimistic they can trim some of the fat and make it fun.
with the addition that they put Mia's old costume with Maya in the box while she slept.

That was in the original game as well.
Dang, my memory of the games is slipping. Was
Pearl pushing Maya in the train at the end in the games too?

No, that is anime-only shipping. Maya lives in Kurain Village and takes the train to get to the Wright & Co. Law Offices every day.
The first thing Phoenix mentions when arriving in Kurain is that he's surprised at how close it is.

Yeah, this case really feels like it's being rushed, unlike most of the others. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why though. It works better when focused on nothing but the stuff we've seen in these two episodes, without getting bogged down in the annoying personalities of the circus. The sooner we can get to case 2-4, the better.
Pretty sure it ends after 2-4. Hopefully the show does decent enough for them to give T&T its own season. I need anime Godot.

I swear they put that scene in just to fuck with the English speaking audience
Just finished watching the last episode of the Circus arc.
I felt like there was a lot of stuff added here that wasn't in the actual game (like the circus members helping to demonstrate the trick), is that true or am I simply misremembering? Either way, while I don't count this case in the game as one of my favourites I actually really liked this episode, thought it was one of the best so far. You have to love how they got Maya to play Moe in the little skit, even though Moe himself was one of the actors.
Can't wait for next week though as one of the all-time greats begins, The final case from Justice for All.

I'm still not entirely sure if the circus arc was an improvement or just as annoying as the game's version...
at least it gave us nsfw-galactica!
wtf capcom?
GORGEOUS!

I won't lie, this finale redeemed the original case for me, though I didn't dislike it as much as others did. The recreation of the murder was excellent and
"what have I done" scene was great too.
Also, I have to wonder why the hell
in that shot. Seriously, how did the animators miss that?
Regina's
Also, I have to wonder why the hell
Max isn't wearing pants
The anime, in the end, definitly improved this case compared to the game, mainly thanks to Regina's realization which is much more poignant (and a good example of "Show, don't tell", whereas in the game we don't really see her have her "What have I done?" moment).
Overall, I liked this episode a lot.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, here comes the big finale. Fasten your seat belt, hang on to your seat. The next case is going to be very interesting.

Really, it will be very difficult for them to not mess up. That case is one of the best of the franchise. If they don't bring their A-game, it could comes off as dull. They have 4 episodes, let's hope they will manage to faithfully include everything.

Well, they have the advantage of not needing to work within the limitations of the freakn' GBA with this thing. Dual Destinies being able to have several people occupy the stand at once (well, not literally of course) is probably not simply the result of a creative decision. Regina was in the audience in the game but they couldn't have her leave the audience gallery.
Not bad. Edgeworth's return was very good, and the music accompanying his triumphant comeback is nice.
They did change a notable thing compared to the game though (spoiler regarding a newly introduced character):
Also: come on. With the magatama's absence, one particular scene is going to be less interesting. I know they could have made it work somehow.

apparantly, Celeste is now Adrian's sister... /sigh. Japan really can't deal with homosexuality at all (well, Adrian was never confirmed to be homosexual, but it is implied, and dumbing down how her character was dependent on Celeste is kinda disappointing; making her Adrian's sister really water down her that unique aspect of her character).
In any case, I'm looking forward her testimony. So many broken glasses ♪

Isn't it common in Japan for people to call each other brother/sister without it being a strictly familial relationship?
I remember in FMA they tried doing that in the dub with Nina calling Edward her brother, but this is generally ignored in translations.
But I haven't seen the newest episode so I dunno if this is something they elaborate on.
Today's episode was... Well, it left me with a mixed impression.
On the one hand:
On the other hand:
I really wonder if the anime team is incompetent, if they don't have the necessary funds to make something worthwhile, or if it is simply too difficult to transpose Ace Attorney to an anime format.
On the one hand:
- Oldbag is simply amazing.
- The court antics were better, with "Objections" being thrown quickly, and Phoenix being quicker to think on his feet than usual (for obvious reasons).
- The psyche-locks made an apparition!
On the other hand:
- Things are unfolding a bit to quickly, and I'm worry that this arc will be expedited.
- Adrian doesn't really get much focus.
- Maya's obsession with food is stupid, and her behavior in the anime is moronic. Her lingering in the main room is ridiculous.
- For people unfamiliar with the series, the psyche-locks come from absolutely nowhere (it is merely a shout out to the games, not an actual plot element). Once again, there is not enough build up to the big revelations. The anime fails to capture the tension of the game.

Now it's all said and done I can say that was enjoyable enough, I would also be up for a T&T adaption that also threw in Rise From the Ashes.

You could also throw in 2-1 as the intro case since they didn't adapt it.
Or they just don't care about the source and they are there just to make a show and thats that.
I believe this game can be made into a really good show if the creators really cared about the intricacies of the game. too bad, this just shows that some loved franchise should not be adapted at all.

I'm getting to this really late, but they directly refer to her as Celeste Andrews instead of Celeste Impax. Then again, since her JP name is different, I can't confirm if that's the translator's doing or not.
Does anyone know how successful the Anime was. If it had decent numbers is there a chance for an AA3 and AA4 season?
Aaron Strife

Yeah, I saw that.
Would anyone have any objections to the dub changing her name to Celeste Impax? Because I sure wouldn't!
