^both of these adverts confirm that Pearl and Klavier Gavin will be in the game (as well as dual testimonies from DGS). Edgeworth is also there to advertise with phoenix, but i suspect with a new model like that it's obvious he'll be in the game in some way as well

this is just turning into one big ol' ace attorney reunion
no sign of gumshoe or larry butz though :S

also anyone watch the first ep of the anime yet i need opinions
 
i skipped around through the anime

it was alright? it's more or less a word-for-word transcript of the opening case of the game, which wasn't very interesting
 
One think I can definitely say is that it's off, and that's not to its advantage. There's a lack of shading and detail in the characters and backgrounds, which also contributes to the characters looking off from the game, the CG looks phony, a lot of stuff from the game is directly copied even when it doesn't make much sense for an animated show, some of the charm is left out in favour of filling the entire case into one episode (and even then it feels rushed), and I could go on. It feels like a cash grab, but maybe it's just due to the nature of the first case; I doubt the shading problems will change in the future, but I'll keep watching in the hopes that it feels more natural.


The OP's also super generic in some places and really metaphorical in other places.
 
Maybe because it's I haven't watched enough Anime to really figure what's considered high-quality. But I thought it was a pretty decent retelling of the first case even if of course they don't do alot that's new. I do like how they show the kind of futuristic way of presenting evidence kinda similar to what I kinda liked from that Japanese live action movie. And seeing a full animated version of the actual crime being committed and/or the imagine spots that were lies was fun to see I think. Certainly something you don't get in the games.

I am interested in how they show the future cases. Obviously the bigger cases are going to be covered in multiple episodes (The preview for the next episode even said it'd get to the first trial of Case 2 of the first game though the investigation phases remains to be seen). I think they could get away with the introduction case being only one episode since that one was pretty straight forward given the criminal is stupid enough to come into court as the witness right away.
 
It seems kinda mediocre so far, doesn't look like there's a real reason to watch it if you've already played the game.
