Phoenix Wright anime = 7.4/10
Story 9/10 (no 'ultimate end goal')
Art 8/10
Music/Sound 5/10
Characters 8.5/10

This concept works better as a video game, not an anime. Excellent narrative, however the anime lacks meaning as there's no 'goal' for the protagonist, Phoenix Wright, to reach. Sure, be a fantastic attorney, but that's not definitive. They're a collection of shorts that have little link to each other, killing the continuity. I'm glad that the cases are extending over multiple episodes. Yay! I'm marking it down because of that and it's a little too slow for me (though, I suppose they do need to introduce characters).

Their eyes are too small, and the court background looks a little strange, as if it was 3D modelled using a noob texture. Other than that A+.

WHY would you NOT USE the ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK. IT WAS SUPERB. I do like the opening, BUT WHAT EVEN. While you can hear Objection! 2001 at https://youtu.be/GSq2c4UWmWM?t=17m20s, it sounds so... 'eh'. Rather than Cornered (Variation). All their themes are strange too. Maya's Ace Attorney theme is sort of in her anime theme as the liefmotif but it's only for a bar or so. They should've kept Gumshoe's theme as well. There's also the first Recollection song in there, thankfully(?) though it's not the best but....

Spoiler

I don't like Edgeworth's voice.

I have no objections (get it) to the characters. They're a tad understated compared to the video game, but that's alright. I blame it on the music.

All in all, the Apollo Justice spin offs would have worked better in this format IMO. Given that it is 2 episodes in there's still room for it to either be made or broken.

TL;DR: Play the game first, it's better. I'd give the game(s) a 10/10 honestly.
