    I wonder if they'll have the subtitles use the original Japanese names or the English names.

    I can see people getting extremely pissed at them either way.

    pretty sure if they're calling it Ace Attorney and not Gyakuten Saiban they'll do the English names

    Wow, the first episode had them knocking people over with the force of their arguments.

    Nice way to transition the logic = damage part of the game.

    Given that Phoenix Wright is an all-American game, chalk full of American locales and references, of course I prefer the English names.

    English names or bust.

    the naming scheme relies heavily on puns, which just don't come across language barriers well

    the translated names are always going to feel better, familiarity aside

    I just love the weird steps they had to take with the localization in a valiant attempt to get it to make sense

    Like the fact that the games are set slightly in the future to account for the fact that the justice system isn't like the American one at all, implying that apparently something triggered a series of giant reforms?

    I love it so much

    No, it takes place in an alternate reality where WWII never took place so Japanese internment camps and anti-Japanese laws were never implemented, and thus allowed for the rise of Japan-towns in the same vein as China-towns et al.

    No, I am not kidding. This is the actual lore the localization team uses.

    Fucking awesome

    That also explains why there's a little mountain town in the Rockies that is populated entirely by Japanese immigrants with psychic powers!

    So AA6 is going to take place in a Western Asian country, where Maya is apparently training.

    I saw a clip of the show and I gotta say it looks pretty good. Really liked the remix of the objection theme I heard.

    I just can't understand why they decided to incongruously move the setting to Japan. So weird.

    it's hard to say more than "hah! that was a fun first episode" because it was a very faithful adaptation of PW, which is

    y'know

    Judging by the intro, they may get into the Kurain stuff (2-2).

    I loved Phoenix bicycling around like a giant dork

    The first episode didn't super sell me because it didn't really being anything new to the table

    But I'm willing to give it a few episodes

    Now that they're in to case 2 and they'll have to do some investigation stuff they'll hopefully have more leeway to add their own spin on things

    How Edgeworth handles Phoenix and how the series handles 'channeling spirits' is going to be a major part of whether it is good or not.
