The prosecutor looks like Edgeworth if he kept that von Karma outfit for the rest of his career (which he totally should've.)

It's called Apollo Justice. Phoenix doesn't count because he's basically a different character, and Ema doesn't count because she was barely a character to begin with. And unless I'm completely insane those were the only two old characters, so there you go.

Apparently the game takes place in both Kurain(starring Phoenix) and Japanifornia(starring Apollo). I'm sure the plot will make that make sense somehow.

Super mad that Phoenix is not taking his kids with him on his vacation. :colbert:

Phoenix realizes that three kids are way above his level of parenting and runs away, spends his sabbatical slowly learning that he's really a good dad in the end and it'll turn out fine.

Then he returns to Japanifornia and Apollo, Athena, and Trucy have burned the offices to the ground.

Blackquill being completely serious about Robin being a paragon of manliness (which she is but not in the way that Simon meant) and the ensuing reaction are great.

In fact, every time things get ridiculous enough for Blackquill to use his freakout animation is great.

Franziska is a really fun protagonist (not character) though, since she's the only one who spends all of her cases pressuring you well past the point where Godot, Klavier, or Blackquill would just kick their legs back or even help you get a Not Guilty.
I remember her taking this to absolutely absurd lengths, though.

Space Captain wasn't your client, though I did dig the twist that he was actually lying to cover for the defendant because events as he had witnessed them made the defendant look guilty.

On the surface the Ace Attorney anime will be about lawyers doing wacky stuff but when you dig a little it turns into the adventures of a single father and his gaggle of children.

In an ideal world the anime would be set immediately after Nick loses his badge and show us his slow, gradual descent into hoboism. Nick becomes a grape juice addict as his friends begin to abandon him over how smelly he's become as a hobo. Nick eventually gets his piano job.

The last episode adapts 4-1, but from Nick's perspective. We find out that he makes that convoluted plan to frame Kristoph on the spot. Apollo punches Nick. Fade to black, cut to credits.

Phoenix: ...and that's how I lost my badge.
Franziska: How sad. Please excuse me for a moment.

Godot half-asses his prosecution because he's not trained as a prosecutor. All he knows how to do is intimidate the witness and distract the judge with shiny things - which admittedly are both key strategies used by prosecutors in the series who aren't Klavier.

I like to imagine that the only reason the witnesses in Phoenix/Apollo/Athena's cases get to bring in special stuff is because the Judge at this point recognizes that the job is much easier when the witnesses bring their own evidence to incriminate themselves with.
