Ace Attorney anime debut now available to stream

Need something to do at work at school rather than actual work? Why not watch the newly released Ace Attorney, it’s just been released ‘in the west’ on Crunchyroll.

The first episode is now live on the service and each subsequent episode will be added every Saturday night in Australia. That’s 9pm AEST for those in the east, 7pm for those in the west.

Adapted from the popular video game franchise, Ace Attorney follows rookie lawyer Naruhodou 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 Naruhodou turn the case around when all the odds are stacked against him?

All of the episodes are subtitled meaning the entire show is not only in Japanese but the characters have also kept their original Japanese names. Here’s a list from Capcom themselves;

Naruhodo Ryuichi (Phoenix Wright)
Mitsurugi Reiji (Miles Edgeworth)
Ayasato Mayoi (Maya Fey)
Ayasato Chihiro (Mia Fey)
Yahari Masashi (Larry Butz)
Itonokogiri Keisuke (Detective Gumshoe)
Auchi Takefumi (Winston Payne)

You will of course need to have a premium account to check it out, there is of course a free trial if you want sample the show first.
