logicbuttonThird case!
Wow, this law school sure does bear a striking resemblance to a Japanese high school!
OMG, "Prose-cute and classy cafe"? That's a maid cafe, right? It's totally a maid cafe?
Okay, it's pretty neat looking at Apollo and Phoenix standing together like that.
AUGH. I hope we won't be seeing much more of Aristotle Means and his unsettling face.
AUGH STOP SMILING ARISTOTLE MEANS.
Haha, Phoenix is napping in public again. Weirdo.
"(How awful. Here she was lying dead and we thought she was late.)" Aww.
"I've always been just as you see me here." Except you didn't have your VEST and your LOCKET CHAIN badassing you up, so quit being modest, PHOENIX.
Bound at the wrists and shot with an arrow? Is the killer Joffrey Baratheon?
"A coed"? Is Phoenix seventy years old and/or a porn director? Wait, don't answer that.
"It's the same! The body, that is! It's just like how it was in the mock trial!" Ooh, this is gonna be good.
"(Ugh. Most... pretentious... introduction... EVER.)" Athena is growing on me.
Oh my goodness, it's Lamiroir's dress! I see they're still spelling it "broach".
WOOHOOOOOOOO!!! KLAVIER!!! I hope Athena calls him on his fake German bullshit.
"Oh, okay. That one, then!" Haha. She really is growing on me. Probably would have been sooner if not for that stupid judo throw or whatever the fuck that was in the last case.
The Gavinners are doing a reunion show..........? I have some questions regarding their second guitar.
"Um, no, the defense is not ready to rock." Hahaha!
"You, Herr Forehead, will play the part of a fledgling lawyer, a role you were born to play." Hahaha! This case is the best!
Aww, Apollo's advice on presenting an attorney's badge!
"Yes! Nice one, Athena. Keep it up! I don't care if it's totally unrelated to the case or just plain annoying or even embarrassing. Just keep presenting evidence without any regard for others! That's the first step towards becoming a successful trial lawyer!" Oh my god I can't breathe
Well, it wouldn't be an Ace Attorney game without an incinerator.
Credit where it's due: I appreciate the adherence to continuity in the reveal that Klavier considered Courte his mentor and greatest role model. He always was the most scrupulous of the prosecutors.
Haha, Blackquill is being a total jerk to Athena and Apollo does not give a shit. Maybe that's why Athena was talking about Apollo in the first case like he was usually an asshole.
"Incidentally, my compliments to the witness for her very fine box." That was unbelievably inappropriate, Blackquill.
"This brace is proof of my masculinity!" Haha, okay.
Uh. Is this crossdressing talk heading where I think it is?
I think it is.
Yep, it is.
Um, well, it wouldn't be Ace Attorney without a character's gender issues being handled with dubious sensitivity.
...I think Robin is overcompensating now.
"Annoyingly loud voices?! I'd like it if you refrained from insulting my partner like that!" "Normally, I'd shout, 'Objection!' right about now, but I'll take this one for the team." Haha, aw. I'm actually sort of starting to ship them a little. Sort of. A little. Ever since he teased her in the detention center about guys giving her love letters to give to Juniper.
"The court will note that this is different from the selective hearing men are so good at!" lulz
"There's that smile again. Why does it always creep me out?" You're kidding, right?
Apollo's wide-eyed conversation sprite is SO WEIRD. It's like, you shock him, and then he stays in that state of horrified shock until you present your next piece of evidence, but also he's not so horrified that he can't blink.
Siiiiigh. Oh, Klavier. You are so charming.
Mmm, Klavier's pouty sprite. So grumpy, and yet so aesthetically pleasing.
"Hey, how about picturing me winning once in a while?" Don't get greedy, Apollo; I don't recall you ever losing to Klavier.
When thinking about rain, Athena's first concern is her hair. That's how you know she fits in at the Wright Anything Agency.
Aw, Myriam should go get some tea and sympathy from Lotta Hart. Wait, no, that's a terrible idea.
"Oh, dear! Unless I find out what that is, I don't know what I shall do." Okay, that's it. Athena is great and I love her.
All of Athena's comments during the art room examination are the best.
So okay, Athena and Apollo are saying that if the tape is fabricated, it must have been done by the "sole male suspect" in order to throw suspicion onto someone female. But everyone thought Robin was male, too (not to mention Professor Means, the real killer, amirite?), so I don't really see their point.
120 THOUSAND DOLLARS? HOLY SHIT.
Good god, Hugh is a tremendous quivering asshole.
"He's going to get a face full of Justice, Apollo-style, if he keeps that up." Back when I played T&T, I said that Godot-style sounded badass, Judge-style sounded ridiculous, and Phoenix-style sounded kinky. Apollo-style sounds...hmm. Efficient. (For the record, Cykes-style sounds devious, and Blackquill-style sounds elaborate.)
HAHAHAHAHAHA HE'S OLDER THAN APOLLO HAHAHAHAHA
"I will now demonstrate the very moment of genius that transcends even perfection!" Watch out, we got a von Karma over here.
"The prosecutor said, 'Rubbish! We will be out on a stroll' then left with Detective Fulbright." omg
The neck seems like an odd place to have chosen to wear that band.
FINALLY. Means is getting on the stand. Here we go.
Wow, Means sure is a terrible speller when he talks.
WHAT THE FUCK
"But how will you respond when I come slashing at you like this?" But Fulbright isn't anywhere near...oh.
"For a while there, I thought you weren't taking the trial seriously. Well done!" Oh, judge.
Yay, brain wave time! This is so gimmicky, but I love it. I love the music too.
HOLY SHIT THE STATUE OF PHOENIX WAS ACTUALLY THE BODY
"Apollo, tie me up in a new pose!...Wait, you're not into this kind of thing, are you?" omg
I would think that a good way to end the dark age of the law would be to stop letting the guy who's supposedly responsible continue to prosecute now that he's behind bars?
"Your singing voice, Juniper! It could melt my H-E-A-R-T!" I think there's a compelling case to be made that Robin has a giant crush on Juniper.
Man, this monologue at the end is such a buzzkill. Well, whatever.
Wait, they never explained why Robin's parents raised her as a boy or what Hugh's seven-year break was all about.
