About Ace Attorney

Ace Attorney (逆転裁判 その『真実』、異議あり！) arrives as a comedy anime by A-1 Pictures (2016), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Adapted from the popular video game franchise, Ace Attorney follows rookie lawyer Naruhodo Ryuuichi (Phoenix Wright) and his assistant Mayoi (Maya) as he defends his clients in a court of law. With limited evidence and logic as his only weapon, can Naruhodo turn the case around when all the odds are stacked against him?

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Reiji Mitsurugi (Masashi Tamaki) and Mayoi Ayasato (Aoi Yuuki) are two of the characters you will meet early.

This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
