We get a case in the top 5 and now we get a case in the bottom 5. Most people's thoughts on this ranged from "mid" to "forgettable" to "outright bad." The praise on this case is generally about the (returning) cast and no Nahyuta. An interesting conversation came up that this case might do better if there's an AA7, as this is currently the final case chronologically.

Summary:

At the turn of the century in Meiji Japan, college student Ryunosuke Naruhodou finds himself on trial for the murder of a visiting English professor. With the help of fellow student Kazuma Asogi, can Ryunosuke save himself and begin a legacy of turnabouts?

Main Characters: Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Kazuma Asogi, Yujin Mikatoba, Taketsuchi Auchi, The Japanese Judge, Susato Mikatoba
Other Characters: John Wilson, Kyurio Korekuta, Iyesa Nosa, Satoru Hosonaga, Aido Nosa, Jezaille Brett

My rating: 6.5/10. I really love GAA's cast right from the get-go. Ryunosuke and Kazuma is a really fun defense/assistant combination and Auchi is bringing the Rookie Crusher Payne vibes. This case in general has a lot of 3-1 vibes, which is why I like it quite a lot! I do think the case slows down pretty significantly at the steak portion, which is why it's not a 7/10. I also like the politics of the GAA world, which definitely makes an impact in this first case.
