I think I have to replay the games then haha.
At this point in the game,all we know is that Wright knows Edgeworth exists
I watched episode 2, they killed Chihiro? I thought she was going to be Ryuuichi's mentor ...
This episode was better than the first one but I still have a few problems with it, the way the police and justice system is portrayed is ridiculous, Mayoi gets immediately arrested, the trial is three days later and the defense doesn't get information except that a witness exists, nothing on the details of what she claims to have seen or any other evidence, the lawyer just walks in completely unprepared and has to come up with a defense right there on the spot.
I can see how this is based on a game, the player has to figure things out on the spot, that's the reason for this set up but so far it doesn't really work in the tv series, at least not for me.
Mayoi is cute enough and the detective is funny (and kind of a moron) but so far no character has really grabbed me. I thought the series would focus on Chihiro mentoring Ryuuichi but it seems like he has to do it on his own because none of the other characters in the opening are lawyers (except for the prosecutor but he's set up as a rival).
This all sounds pretty negative but I am interested in how this gets resolved although some thimgs are very on the nose, the fancy screwdriver got so much focus I'd be surprised if it doesn't turn out to ve an important clue.
I think Chihiro's big case that she wanted to hide evidence for will be this season's overachimg plot, somehow I don't believe the mystery wire tapper and lawyer threatener (and probably killer) will be caught right away, there'd be no reason to hide him in the shadows then. Finding Chihiro's killer could be a reason why Mayoi stays and doesn't return to her own life.

I watch the series on crunchyroll, those are the names in the subs. I only know that the main character is called Phoenix Wright, I used to think his name was Ace Attorney ...All these Japanese names -.- its a good thing I've played AA1 like 5 times otherwise I'd be lost and I've seen this episode lol.
Really? Wow, that's a bit scary.those elements aren't the games fault, but rather because this series is (or was) a parody of the japanese justice system. In context, some of it makes (or rather made?) a lot of sense, sadly

Crunchyroll offers an alternative English sub track, which I assume is what most fans are using to watch the series.
I'm watching through the ipad app, I don't see an option to switch subtitles. Maybe I just don't find it, I'm new to Crunchyroll.Crunchyroll offers an alternative English sub track, which I assume is what most fans are using to watch the series.

When I'm back home I'll check if my Wii U app allows switching subtitles, I like watching anime on the couch if possible.
Fine, PC then. I'll manage one episode per week, for everything else the apps will do.
No, it's not my kind of game.Are you not interested in actually playing the games first?
No, it's not my kind of game.
I just figured people who liked mysteries would enjoy mystery focused games where you explore areas looking for clues and talk to people trying to figure out the truth.
I need confirmation from CR subs.
Is this real?

I couldn't tell if Redd White's/Masaru Konaka's bad english was intentional or not. Not sure if he's supposed to be American or Japanese who goes to America a lot. Guess it would help if I knew his Japanese was bad or not.
Eat your hamburgers, Apollo
His Japanese isn't bad. I don't think this is a case of intentionally bad English so much as it is a case of Japanese-English. Also if you haven't heard any other Japanese VAs do English lines, a lot of them tend to sound like this guy did.
also i hope they dont screw up the best part about the next case:ladder/stepladder discussion
Hey they fixed the running animations in the opening! Now it just looks dumb for being out of place and generic!
Is Redd's dialogue different in the Japanese names track? Interesting if so, way more effort than I'd expect to be put into this.The opening is bonkers. The closing is really sweet, though.
One other amazing thing about the alt English sub: it keeps a lot of Redd White's inane words from the game loc.
The sub team is doing a really great job - but boy oh boy is this a visually poor show. There's at least two pans to the 3d background models that are used for the court watchers. They're terrible. Plus a lot of very mangled or otherwise very strange looking faces, hands, and drawn art appearing blurry because it's been zoomed in on after being drawn. And some outright wonky stuff, like last episode how Mia's age changed on the TV between shots from 28->27.
The thing is though, as the show's gone one, it does seem like they're adding more and more animation. The bit with Wright's face pushing Redd White's face out was great. It's just very occasional.
Maybe the BR version will be fixed up?
In the video games, Maya's favorite food is changed from ramen to burgers between the JP/US versions.RangerBAD said:Let's go get some rame--I mean burgers! The translation shift was odd. Wonder why they changed it from episode 2 on.
It's like looking directly into the face of madness. This was not the work of a single person, but an entire team crafting, reviewing, and designing this opening before leaning back in their chairs and saying "Yes, this will do".
I agree that the Opening is all around bad and generic. At least the series itself has pretty good quality. And i can understand them: i cant imagine a proper opening for the Ace Attorney series myself.
Here's the Pachinko version of this episode, for anyone who would like to compare how it handled it with this latest episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ7ffRfMEqI
Also, what's the general consensus on the OST? Pursuit-Cornered felt really underwhelming to me...
