While most liked 5-2 for its twists and Blackquill's introduction, others weren't so keen on the premise or the cast. Though, surprisingly, no one had a thing to say about the other new main character - Fulbright. But I'm sure he'll get plenty of discussion in the cases ahead.
Summary:
Having recently re-passed the bar exam, Phoenix is invited to be a guest speaker at the famed Themis Legal Academy. During the academy's highly anticipated mock trial, wouldn't you know, a murder takes place, and Athena steps behind the bench to defend one of her oldest friends.
Main Characters:
Athena Cykes, Apollo Justice, Phoenix Wright, Bobby Fulbright, Klavier Gavin, Simon Blackquill, The Judge, Trucy Wright
Other Characters:
Aristole Means, Juniper Woods, Constance Courte, Hugh O'Conner, Robin Newman, Myriam Scuttlebutt
My rating: 7.5/10. It takes a bit for me to warm up to this case. Ace Attorney has always been anime adjacent, but this case is full-on anime. The cast takes a bit to warm up to, but I end up really liking everyone here. Hugh is a fun scapegoat who does seem to be the culprit, but I'm glad it swerves towards Means because friendship is undying. Athena really makes this case hers - the "You're a goner!" thing and cosplaying as the statue feel like something neither Phoenix or Apollo would do. Blackquill's surprisingly fun here, too. I especially like the part where he just plays the high school rebel when Means is taking attendance.
