Fans of anime and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney games take notice! Streaming service Crunchyroll announced last week that an anime series based on the original game is no longer to be solely enjoyed by its Japanese audience. The series went live worldwide last Saturday and is available to all Crunchyroll users.
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?
Capcom Unity also revealed the list of all the characters in Japanese. The series is in English subs only so you might want to brush up on the original names to avoid too much confusion:
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)
