Releases[]

The first season of the anime premiered in Japan on April 2, 2016,[5][6][7] with new episodes airing weekly on Saturdays until its final episode on September, 24, 2016. Outside Asia, the streaming site Crunchyroll provides two subtitled versions for online viewing on the same day for premium members, and one week later for everyone else; one version using the original Japanese character names and the other substituting them for the localized versions (e.g., "Phoenix Wright" instead of "Ryūichi Naruhodō").[8].

As of January 23rd, 2018 Funimation.com has the first 13 uncut episodes available for streaming in English with English subtitles. That same day the Japanese/English language and subtitle DVD/Blu-ray box set is available for purchase through the Funimation.com website.[9]

The second season of the anime premiered on October 6, 2018, with Crunchyroll providing a simulcast as with the previous season.[3] Funimation began streaming a dubbed version on October 30, 2018.[10]

To promote the release of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, select episodes were made available in English through the official Ace Attorney YouTube channel from December 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024, comprising the first two cases from season 1 and season 2 (episodes 1-4 and 25-29).[11]

Differences from the games[]

General[]

  • The defense and prosecution benches have switched positions to these in the games. In the games, other than when showing the courtroom in full, the two benches are seen from the judge's perspective, so that the defense attorney is on the left side. In the anime, however, the camera angles are usually shot from the opposite perspective, with the switched benches resulting in the defense remaining on the left, from the viewer's perspective.
  • When emphasizing the end of a character's argument, the games show a closeup of the speaker with speed lines in the background. The anime achieves a similar effect by having characters produce gusts of wind when pointing their fingers dramatically (or snapping one's fingers in Manfred von Karma's case), which can literally knock other characters off their feet.
  • Many, though not all, of the dates given for the episodes differ from their game counterparts.
    • One example is The First Turnabout being set in March rather than August, which corrects a mistake in the game where America's daylight saving season was not accounted for.
  • While the English versions of the games are set in a Japan-ified version of Los Angeles, the anime retains its Japanese setting throughout all languages. Consequently, any foreign locations that are mentioned are also altered to match the Japanese games, such as Cindy Stone visiting New York rather than Paris or the Von Karmas being American instead of German.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney episodes[]

  • Maya asks Phoenix to be her lawyer at the same time he asks her, and the two comically bump their heads on the glass dividing them thanking each other.
  • Penny Nichols does not have a speaking role in the Turnabout Samurai episodes.
  • Mr. Monkey is also referred to as the "Forest Imp".
  • Sal Manella is not mentioned as being complicit in moving Jack Hammer's body and is thus seemingly innocent.
  • Missile does not appear in the Turnabout Goodbyes saga, instead appearing during flashbacks to
  • Edgeworth's childhood, where he was Edgeworth's pet.
  • Missile is now a Pomeranian instead of a Shiba Inu (likely a reference to Ghost Trick, another game by Shu Takumi). The original Missile appears in the second ED, alongside his Pomeranian counterpart.
  • The earthquake plot point is completely dropped from the story of DL-6 Incident, and Edgeworth does not seem to fear earthquakes in the anime. No earthquake strikes the detention center after Edgeworth finally asks Wright to defend him, and it's stated that Yogi, Edgeworth and Edgeworth's father were trapped in the elevator due to a blackout.
  • Phoenix doesn't receive the bullet from the DL-6 Incident after von Karma tazes them, and subsequently drops it.
    • The anime adds a scene where Edgeworth feigns a stomach cramp so they can retrieve evidence from von Karma's office while Larry pretends to be Edgeworth.
  • While the current year of each episode still matches up with its game counterpart, the year of the DL-6 Incident, which is the basis for the entire timeline, is not mentioned in the anime.
  • The events of Rise from the Ashes are ignored, with the adaptation of Turnabout Goodbyes being followed by the anime-exclusive Turnabout Promise, then the Reunion, and Turnabout adaptation. Allusions to it such as the presence of the Blue Badger and Edgeworth's prosecutor's trophy do appear however.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All episodes[]

  • The events of The Lost Turnabout are moved to the beginning of season 2, while the adaptation of Turnabout Big Top follows the Reunion, and Turnabout adaption.
  • Although Manfred von Karma is heavily implied to have died by the time of Reunion, and Turnabout in the games, it is implied that he is still alive at that point in the anime, with Phoenix asking Gumshoe, "Prosecutor von Karma? But, isn't he banned from...?"
  • "Hotti" does not appear during in any of the Reunion, and Turnabout or Farewell, My Turnabout episodes.
  • Psyche-Locks are largely absent, only appearing in Farewell, My Turnabout when Matt Engarde's true colors are revealed.
  • Instead of being an accomplice to murder, Morgan Fey is in fact the mastermind behind the death of Dr. Grey and the implication of Maya, with Mimi Miney being forced to cooperate.
  • Morgan's kimono design lack the kanjis unlike the game; she wears a plain black kimono instead.
  • Pearl Fey is absent from the opening of Turnabout Big Top, and takes a more active role as Wright's co-counsel during Reunion, and Turnabout and Farewell, My Turnabout. The games, on the other hand, only have her appear during trials to channel Mia.
  • Maya is the one that snaps Max Galactica out if his delusion that he isn't under arrest rather than Phoenix.
  • Max's "Billy Bob Johns" persona doesn't emerge until after Phoenix's first investigation.
  • Lotta Hart is replaced by Larry Butz in the adaptation of Farewell, My Turnabout. This was the original intent of the episode in the games, but Butz was cut due to cartridge memory limitations.
  • Celeste Inpax is changed to be Adrian Andrews's older sister, with her surname being appropriately adjusted.
  • Gumshoe does not get fired by von Karma in the anime.
  • Celeste Inpax's suicide note was forged by Juan Corrida in the games, but is the genuine article in the anime.
  • Will Powers does not present Wright and Pearl with Shelly de Killer's transceiver, nor does he testify in the Farewell, My Turnabout episodes.
  • Franziska von Karma presents the video footage of de Killer murdering Juan Corrida, but not the pistol that was fired at her shoulder or the bellboy's uniform worn by the assassin. In addition, she wears Gumshoe's coat (instead of using merely using it as a makeshift bag to contain the evidence) and has her arm in a sling.
  • Engarde performs his breakdown twice. He also receives a unique speech bubble: "待ってくれえええ!" (Matte kureeee!)
  • Wright and Maya reunite at the police department, rather than the defendant lobby. Pearl continues to channel Mia for the reunion.
  • After his accident while racing back with the de Killer evidence, Gumshoe is bandaged around his entire body, rather than just around his head.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations episodes[]

  • The Stolen Turnabout is the first case adapted from Trials and Tribulations, following the adaptation of The Lost Turnabout.
  • Unlike in the game, Larry is a witness for the Sacred Urn's theft.
  • Phoenix and Maya do not visit Blue Screens, Inc. during the investigation in Recipe for Turnabout.
    • As a result, the reason that Glen Elg got into debt is not discovered.
    • This also excludes Lisa Basil from the anime.
  • Following the Recipe for Turnabout adaptation is the anime three-part original Northward, Turnabout Express storyline, followed by the adaptation of Turnabout Memories.
  • Edgeworth appears to be unaware of "Melissa Foster's" true identity in the anime, whereas he was fully aware in the games.
  • Details about the Umbrella are not discussed during Turnabout Memories.
  • Sister Bikini didn't have to stand on the orange boxes; there's already a stool for her to stand on in the whole trial length.
  • When Iris escapes, Edgeworth is not present, instead, Gumshoe was the one distracted by the earthquake. Edgeworth arrives only after the earthquake, and is the one who discovers the hidden sword cane with Wright, rather than Gumshoe. The metal detector is thus never used.
  • When discussing the possibility of Maya committing suicide from jumping into the river, the rock foundation is not discussed.
  • Pearl doesn't remain at the Inner Temple near the end like in the games. Instead, she is escorted to the courtroom by Franziska von Karma. She also appears to have her clothes dirty from the curry gravy rather than in the games where she appeared to be clean.
  • Rather than a drawing by Butz, the portrait of Wright and gang in the finale is presented in the form of a photograph, with Butz joining the gang in the group shot.

Note[]

Anime OP1 - chalk drawings

The chalk drawings.

  • Trucy Wright (and her "Mr. Hat" puppet), the Steel Samurai, the Evil Magistrate, and Ponco (albeit coloured green like Clonco) cameo as chalk drawings in "Gyakuten Winner", the anime's first opening theme.
  • The anime is the first media to be officially translated into Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic (Season 1 onwards), and Russian (Season 2 only).
