on a related note, I just finished 6-4!

you guys weren't wrong, this was a weird ass case. unless Uendo and his persona parade are about to take a flight to Khura'in, this case seemed entirely irrelevant to the rest of the game, which felt super odd, especially for a case this late in the game. I guess the obvious comparisons are 2-3 or 4-3, but even those (flawed cases both) felt more substantial. this genuinely felt like a DLC case, and treated like that it was actually pretty enjoyable. once I got over the everything is so Japanese vibe, it actually worked fairly well - the ending soba/udon twist was the only thing that really felt poorly adapted. I actually quite liked the cast too; Uendo in particular was pretty great (minority opinion maybe?) and absolutely the core of the case in an almost Atmey-esque way. The reveal of the actual killer felt pretty low-key after he left the stand. It was also fun to play as Athena, though this did ring as a totally shoehorned way to get her to do something, and I don't remember her feeling this unsure of herself in 5-3. Blackquill was also pretty great as a sidekick, and I genuinely enjoyed seeing him again, which was a pleasant surprise as I remembered him as good-but-not-great in DD. Sadhmahdi is still a pretty good prosecutor and a fairly dull character, but that didn't affect much here.

So yeah, a good case. Completely baffling in the context of the full game, and certainly one of the weaker non-tutorial cases in the series, but a good case nonetheless. If this and 6-2 are the reason that some people are down on AA6, I think I'll have a very positive opinion of this game indeed!

updated approximate case ranking:

perfect: 3-5 > 2-4 > 1-4
great: 1-5 > 3-4 > 5-4/5 > 3-3 > 6-3 > 3-2 > 4-4 > 5-3 > 1-3 > 5-6
good: 6-2 > 2-2 > 4-1 > 5-2 > 6-4
mediocre: 3-1 > 2-3 > 4-2 > 1-2 > 6-1 > 5-1 > 2-1 > 1-1 > 4-3

6-5, huh? let's do this.
