Nick presents every evidence to every person in the case would be one heck of a filler arc tho

Honestly, if I have one complaint with the adaptation, it's that he isn't presenting at least his badge to everyone.

To be fair, there weren't actually unique responses for the badge in the first game.

They're not using character themes whenever they're on screen anyway so there's no point in 1-5 without consistent Swimming, Anyone?

I think in one of the episodes they played the sad steel samurai theme when Nick was thinking about Maya's situation, and that bugged me because we haven't met the Steel Samurai yet, and the sad version is meant to be saved for 2-4

My memory of the first game is foggy, but was it ever addressed in the games why Phoenix's evidence is instantly accepted and he isn't accused of forging it? Seeing the court sequences actually animated makes it seem really weird that Phoenix just pulls something out of his pocket and says "I found this in April's room" and everyone just takes it as the truth instantly.
I was wondering why he seems to have free access to wander wherever he likes. He just walks into April May's hotel room, Redd White's office and a crime scene like its no big deal.

Plot convenience, though him being allowed at the crime scene is because of Dick Gumshoes incompetence shining heroism.

I thought that in-universe both defense and prosecuting attorneys seem to have government sanctioned investigatory roles, to the point that they are legally permitted to investigate crime scenes. I mean the 2nd Investigations game gives you perspective of other defense attorneys and it works the same for them. They even have badges.

I'm quite fond of the sixth prosecutor's theme:

Man I thought this episode was fantastic. Redd White was spot-on and it was great to hear him voiced and see him animated and the True Story part was fantastic to see in full motion. Also I jumped out of my seat at the ending.

It's basically a supplement to the games, and if you like the games you'll love this. It's not gonna go down as the perfect adaptation or even come close to being a good substitute, but drat if it isn't fun as hell.

The criticism for the show seems to generally fall into camps of either "fine/enjoyable" to "garbage/unwatchable" and I wonder why there's such a strong dichotomy.

Josuke Higashikata

Because people like to jump to extremes and the truth about the show is that it's not really in either of those camps. It's the epitome of average.

Fine/enjoyable doesn't seem like an extreme camp to me? Like that is what it is, its just a light fun show. It isn't that great or whatever but it does what it does.

I felt this newest episode was a little low energy and ehhhhh, but hearing the Steel Samurai theme again and seeing 1-3 characters reminded me that I still really like this universe and I'll probably be sticking around till the end.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
The show is perfectly fine and IMO it's what I thought an Ace Attorney anime adaptation would turn out to be. It doesn't take any big risks in its animation or how it tells the story, but it gets a lot of the little character things done right and it has a lot of heart. It's nothing amazing, but it's a nice fun watch. The CG animated bits are visual garbage though.

The fact that it's an average/fine show is unacceptable to anime critics though so if it's not actively being amazing in some way it must be the biggest piece of poo poo and a huge disappointment because *farts*

How is it possible to do Turnabout Sisters and not play Turnabout Sisters though?

If I never read the sentence "Its average/mediocre, and thats the worst thing of all," again it'll be too loving soon. I'm so sick of the Everything-Must-Be-Genius-Or-Sharknado world we live in these days.

Considering I thought the animation was going to be absolute dogshit I'm pretty pleased with the show so far.

It's not pretty, but average is still a step up from what I was afraid of. And I never worried about the story or pacing. Ace Attorney should handle that just fine.:3:

The latest episode also perfectly captured the best part of the games, which is when you present that last piece of decisive evidence, Cornered starts playing and you just do a fist pump and go "I got you, motherfucker!"
