Animation was poor and although Yuuki Kaji sounds better then I thought, he is still not nearly as good as Takayuki Kondou. The rest of the voice actors were fine.
As for pacing, it was alright, I guess. Will keep watching it so far. |

The animation seems like it's trying to move the still artwork from the games with limited success.
I get that, aside from a couple of Base Breaker roles from the past, Yuuki Kaji does good work as a VA. As the VA for Naruhodo...he'll grow on me. Though I'm afraid of him replacing Takayuki Kondou in future games. Ep. 1 was ok I guess. The Yahari case was a one day deal, so the anime probably tried to keep it close. Though I'll admit this made me want play PW:AA again. |

Really bad imo.
If you played the games already, it provides nothing. Exact same dialogue, same scenes, seemingly the same level of animation as well lol. If you never, its not a very exciting anime. And imagine not taking advantage of the game's memorable music and only saving it for the end, leaving the rest with the blandest generic background music ever.

I'm only going by memory but dialogue and scenes lacked (Game comparisons): Spoiler:
And most importantly IMO: Spoiler:
About the animation, it's a hit-or-miss, they seem to be trying to animate the scenes directly from games. Agreed about the BGM though, the only thing from game here was Cross Examination ~ Allegro. |

Hmm I still think the pun from No Game No Life in regards to this show, was actually a bit more entertaining than this whole episode . But it was just the introduction so it might pick up from here.
I think the prosecutor there should be more bothered that he made the murderer his star witness and completely screwed up over the fact that he lost the case . Nice of the judge though to be so accommodating of the MC having small chats and dragging out his cross-examination .

Well, at least it's unusual. Really clunky and awkward. But perhaps that's just its style, and we'll get used to it and discover what's good here.
I'm only watching this for Yuuki Aoi, who is next week's defendant. Besides the fact that I love Ao-chan's work, as far as I know (and I haven't studied this carefully) this is the first anime (as opposed to game) she's done for the company her father works for, Capcom. From the first time I read about her, around 2008, when she was 15, her father, with whom she was evidently quite close, was said to be a Capcom executive.

I'm not very impressed by this first episode. The opening in particular was underwhelming.
At least the plot is followed accurately, that's a plus. The performance of the voice cast was also pretty good. The animation is so cheap though. |

It was a disappointment. It moved pretty fast, kinda a digest for game-players. As always with these types, I can understand it... but I don't care much. That said, apparently this is a tutorial in the game, so maybe it will get better?
I did like the game-like animation for the screen text and stuff though. ...And the OP is atrocious.

It somehow feels more natural the ways it is now in the anime. And you are correct, it's prosecution. One never knows when the typo strikes.

Awful, that's the only thing I could say.
In general, the first episode had nothing impressive whatsoever: they abused 3DCGI merely for the courtroom and the audience, whereas characters were acting like bunch of cardboard cuts with the very limited movements and bland design/texture/colors. To make things worse, the direction/execution was quite awkward with the reactions/effects that were poorly used. It isn't exactly any better with the various random bleeping sounds (which would actually work with the live action movie but not there), while they only used Examination and Objection, but weirdly enough no Pursuit. The only saving grace in there is the faithfulness to the script, but that aside, everything else fell flat.

A lot of material, clues and red herings were cut out too. Lets see how it proceeds. Quote:
Going by EP 1 alone though my most pressing reason to watch will be 'Its Ace Attorney'

Just checked, it's there alright. I have no idea how I missed it the first time.
The entire series will be a video walkthrough for the first game wont' it? If going by the ep.1 alone, they cut some content out but the First Turnabout was solved the same way. |

Just finished actually watching the first episode. There are so many things wrong I don't know where to start. One that I have to mention is the soulless directing. It feels like watching a Let's Play YouTube video series.
Credits where credits due, though. They are doing pretty good job on reworking the game script to anime medium.
