I GET IT! IT SHOULDN'T BE "CAKEWALK"!! But seriously, I appreciate all the constructive feedback, as I believe that they are a MUST to help higher the quality of future episodes. SO KEEP AT IT! Also, I plan to have an update video in a week or 2 to explain what kind of help I will need to make sure that not only to have episodes come out sooner, but to also make the quality of the videos even higher. And in that future update video, I will be doing a Q&A. So please, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
I think Athena's voice actor doesn't express emotions in her voice enough, if that makes sense. Rainbow Dash's VA also needs more work. Otherwise, I like how the first part is
My question is: what is your reaction to the complete and total success (based on the views as of this post is 11,555) of your first official video for the series? I know I was floored by the outpouring of support and boosting its gotten.
NeoArtimus had intended that to be a joking call-forward to AA4. At the time she made Turnabout Storm, Trucy had already been introduced, so Ace Attorney fans watching that scene would understand the irony. She also intended the hat that Trixie gave Phoenix at the end of Turnabout Storm to be the one Trucy wears as a teenager, which EoJ confirms is the case.
@@orlandovargas3964 However, the Magatama's "hiding something" detector was pretty useless against Matt Engarde. He never explicitly lied about his involvement in the murder of Juan Corida, he did not personally kill him. He just conveniently left out the fact he hired the hitman who did. You'd think the Magatama would have picked up on that...
@@Elfos64 Did a bit of research. The psyche locks are formed from consciously holding secrets. If a person isn't consciously hiding a secret about something they asked, nothing appears. Matt likely genuinely saw himself as not directly involved in the murder, and thus he felt himself in the clear. If the right question isn't asked, then nothing happens. Again, my interpretation.
The specific question asked is "Did you kill the victim?" As Matt Engarde didn't kill him, Matt was being honest. This is why in Turnabout Storm, after the event, Phoenix asks Rainbow Dash "Did you have ANYTHING to do with death of Ace Swift?" This covers everything, from personally doing it to hiring someone else to do it. It even covers "Oh, I did this thing, and that might have lead to the victim's death," no matter how accidental whatever that thing was.

I'd just like to point out "Did you kill the victim, Overall Concept?" is a weak question to ask with the magatama because like with Matt Engarde, she could've hired someone else to kill the victim and her denial would still be the truth. In Turnabout Storm, the question was phrased as "Did you have ANYTHING to do with the death of Ace Swift?" which covers that possibility.
It wasn’t really Phoenix’s fault, that was more of an oversight on the creators part. They’ll fix this in future episodes. Check the replies on the comment they made for reference.
Galaxy are you kidding me? As much as I don’t like My Little Pony, and I’m sorry if that offends anyone, I actually love that video series. I can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
Do you mean the timing of release or the setting of when it takes place in a what if of Canon? Cause it's has to be before season 5 or 6 as Starlight isn't anywhere yet and Trixie hasn't been mentioned to be hanging around the castle at times with Starlight nor that she helped to save Equestria from the Changelings.
Aside from Phoenix's new VA not giving quite enough emotion in his performance IMHO (plus a few typos and text to voice delivery inconsistencies), this was a very promising start. The overall presentation is already a huge step up from Turnabout Storm (and even looks better than TS looked by the end of its run), the voice acting is pretty solid, the callbacks to Turnabout Storm were very much appreciated by me (heck, the twist that Trucy's hat was the one Trixie gave Phoenix legit almost made me shed a tear of joy), and the writing for character dialogue is pretty entertaining and captures the spirit of both series pretty well IMO. I'm already very invested into where this series is gonna go, especially since we're getting more than just one big long case here. Here's to hoping things get even better as this goes on, and that the next episode comes soon, because I cannot wait to see what happens next. :D
I must say: it's good that you decided to not adhere to the game's traditions of having the first case consist only in a courtroom sesion and show you the murderer in the first scene. Great job, can't wait for the rest of this.
Not all the games are like that, though. Trials and Tribulations was one of the few games that did not show you the culprit immediately. It gave you a fake out with Phoenix being the one standing over Doug Swallows' body, even though Dahlia Hawthorne was the culprit.
@thomasecker9405 It was still clear who did it in Trials and Tribulations first case. Apollo Justice and I think the Great Ace Attorney are the only games that don't show who done it. In fact, Apollo Justice first case was extremely clever as they have you go through the motions like the past games, down to the point of even accusing Olga Orly, the second witness testimony.
That was truly magnificent. Not just as a VA on the next part, but as a fan of Turnabout Storm, as a fan of My Little Pony, as a fan of Ace Attorney, and a HUGE fan of all of these things together, i'm so happy that you were finally able to make your dream become a reality, even though misfortune struck during your first attempt at this. But seeing it, and watching this video, and seeing it finally come to fruition..... You should be proud. You've done an amazing thing. Best of luck on the next part. I'm rooting for you.
Yep, the trailer did gave the plural "cases" and that many locations would be located (which wouldn't make much sense to fit in 1 case). So by the looks of it, EoJ may end up getting to the length of a full game.
I love how Apollo's reactions matches Phoenix's initial inner snark in the original series, but just plain spoken up. At least he won't be making a fool of himself objecting over a pegasus moving a thundercloud.
Its finally here. Years after I've lost interest in MLP. Still going to stick with this for nostalgia. I remember loving Turnabout Storm. Thank you for staying dedicated to this project.
*This comment is from before the video premiered.* Congratulations on finally releasing this to some extent. I imagine this is taking at least a little bit of weight off your shoulders. Hope this turns out good.
As a past editor of the series, I am glad to see this project begin its fruition. It is an honor to see the first episode of this series, and I will enjoy every second of it. Keep up the great work, you beautiful pony.
Some people would see this as a troubled production, what with everything you had to deal with. What I see, on the other hand, is a Determinator. Turnabout Storm was one of the things that got me interested in MLP to start with, so I'm glad to see this particular series up and running. :)
Same here! It’s also what jumpstarted me into the brony fandom. I am so excited for this crossover series to be reignited. It’s already off to a great start bringing back some old faces and some new ones. I can’t wait to see more!
omg... Omg this is actually real... This is an **actual** proper project... **Of two of my favorite series at the moment...** Yes! I will wait till the ends of time and back for this project to come out!
@@anthonydeadman It's a good thing she didn't nab him while he was in the middle of a trial XD Or heck, for all she knew he could have been having an operation at the time :S
An excellent episodes to start. Keep up the great work and hope this whole set goes off wonderfully. A tense start, a great reunion, plentiful drama. All turning into an amazing case.
let me just get this out of the way right now: Aaaahhhh!!!! Look at the little detail of all the ponies blinking occasionally?!!! It's such a small thing, but it makes each of the characters feel so real at the same time. Great creative decision. In some ways, this is a warmup chapter, getting the 3 newbies warmed up to the world, making sure we have cliffnote versions of where all the characters are at right now, reminding us where we came from in Dual Destinies or from season 4 of FIM. In other ways though, this is a very different sort of feel compared with Turnabout Storm. And that's a good thing. Namely, this video presentation feels far more conversational compared with what went on for much of storm. That the focus is as much on group banter and thinking out loud as it is the case. And that's good. Gives the show its own feel rather than the more procedural "prequel". That everyone's poking around, remembering one thing or another, etc. it's also good that you gave each of phoenix's assistants something to do/say during the investigation. Finding small clues, giving small notes about the investigation, having their own bits of investment in the world. It's good writing that you're actively trying to balance everyone's screen time. On a small note of criticism, you need to watch your tenses while creating this script. Namely, it seems there should be a few more past tense sentences like saying overall concept and coco "made" a great team rather than "make" a great team. overall though, a great start. looking forward to your take on the trial sequence. Especially since your psyche lock test footage shows that phoenix is going to interrogate blueblood for 1 clue either before or after the trial for something. maybe a hit at a bigger case to come? But keep it up. let's not have part 2 of 2 take 2 extra years as well.
Yeah I noticed my tenses were not consistent, which is something I'll watch out for in future episodes. And don't worry about the rest of the series taking 5 million years, as a lot of people wanna help me out, and I'll be trying to assemble some kind of team. And thanks for pointing out the strengths of the episode as well, so I'll know what should I keep doing! Thanks very much for your input!
Just a little piece of advice for future animations: If you want to fade out / fade in a pony puppet using alpha transparency, it's better to render the entire pose to a PNG image and set transparency on that. If you set transparency to all the separate pieces of the puppet instead, their intestines will become visible for a split second, which looks very creepy :q Other than that, very good job with the animations, voices and everything! You have no idea how long I waited for this to come out :) Perfect timing too, considering the incoming hiatus :J
Hey, if that's what it takes for the story to be told right, I'd rather have that than have it artificially edited down to fit! ^.^ Just imagine if we'd gotten less of the first series for that reason!
Finally, after so long of following this project since its conception, EoJ is finally bearing fruit! I very much hope that thing will be looking up for this project from here on out!
The animation for this is top notch and incredible The voice actors and actresses are on point for the characters I’ve waited for this for about six years and it’s so amazing Can’t wait for more of your awesome work and effort put into this project!!!!
I would absolutely kill to see this project completed. I am a patient man however and I can wait for it to be finished properly. But gawd damn! I want to see this done fully! You all rock and may the creativity gods give you everything you need to bring this to completion
I am super happy to finally see this project come to fruition, the original Turnabout Storm was the reason i even got into the fandom, since being a huge Ace Attorney fan made me check it out back in the day. After just the first part i can already tell that a lot of love for both the source materials went into this and i think everyone did a fantastic job bringing that feeling of the original back to life and showing its worthy of being a sequel to it. I loved just about all the VAs work, everyone did a great job making the characters sound good, while it is annoying to lose the old phoenix thanks to unfortunate circumstances, the new voice fits very well in his own right considering it plays so many years after the events. The background art and music also fit all very nicely and helped make the scenes come alive, but this does bring me to a few nitpicks that i noticed watching. Firstly, the pony models are a little glitchy when fading away for example, nothing big but i did notice it. Secondly, maybe it was just a personal feeling, but i felt like some of the dialogue could've used a bit more background music, still what was there all sounded great! That's about all i wanted to say, just a huge thank you for everyone involved, it really made me feel like i watched the original again, just with it's own unique style. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Thanks! I know there's a way to fix up the opacity issue with the character rigs, but I'll have to look that up later on. And I'll turn up the music a TINY bit more if necessary. Thanks for the input!
Woah, you actually convinced the VAs from Turnabout Storm to voice their roles from 7 years ago?? You, sir, are my guardian angel who swooped in to make this masterpiece.
I love what you did with this and hope you continue. I’ve always liked turnabout storm and wished there was a sequel for it. The characters feel like they’re canon selves and it awesome with all of those throwbacks to both series. Seriously great job and keep up the good work!
*sees new video, thinks it's another update, doesn't check title* Excitement: Medium *video starts with spotlight instead of message, pause video, looks at time, looks at title* Excitement: COMPLETE OVERLOAD I love what you're doing and this looks awesome compared to the last one, and that one was really good as it was! I don't know if someone else mentioned this or not, but aside from a few typos/voice-to-subtitle discrepancies, one major thing is that Apollo has a fairly big fear of heights. Idk if that's just the fact that this was probably in production before SoJ and it became too late to go back and alter or what, but thought I would point that out just in case. Other than that this was handled fairly close to how the games do it, though that bit with Playwright was kinda slow. Can't wait till the next part!
Saw turnabout storm a view years after it came out. And to think id see a sequel tonight while looking through the recommendations. This was a lovely first episode and i look forward to watching it all.
IT'S FINALLY BEGUN!!! This has been one of my most anticipated projects in the fandom for a long time, and so far it's a ton of fun! The investigation has really got me curious and I can't wait to see more interactions between the old and new characters. And of course, the trial! I know this was a lot of work, but it was absolutely worth it, and I look forward to what comes next. Also, not gonna lie, I got a little misty eyed at the moment with the hat and the picture. Ah memories. That was so sweet.
I have been waiting for this for so long, it's thanks to Turnabout Storm that I even got into Phoenix Wright! So seeing this being continued is just amazing!! Also DON'T WORRY COCO WE'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
Wow, I remember about Turnabout Storm back when it came out, and I was left with a very good impression, even if I'm not one who knows a whole lot about Ace Atorney. I think this series is shaping up to be an absolutely great follow up: I really applaud the voice actors for their talent, and the interactions between the characters. Great job, man!
OMG! This started EXACTLY as I imagined years ago X3> Specifically the exchange about Twilight becoming an Alicorn and Phoenix having a daughter. I feel this proves that there are still great things in the fandom even after the series. Onwards to the bright future!
After so many years since Turnabout Storm finished, I decided tonight to search for it in UA-cam, see if there was something new. I was quite surprised to something here! I held back expectations, knowing this is a fan sequel and all, but I'm quite pleasantly surprised with what I'm seeing! The characters feel like themselves, the writting and jokes are pretty sweet, and you got me hooked on this case! On top of that, the callbacks to Turnabout Storm make me feel quite nostalgic. Man, it's been so long since that series ended. I may not have an interest in the MLP series now, but I sure have for what it's looking to be a promising fan follow up!
Wow, this is beyond amazing. Sorry to hear about all the hiccups and struggles but I'm so glad you were able to push through and make this. I loved Turnabout: Storm and seeing your work is definitely exciting it'll be another great attorney hit
Omg IT'S HERE! I haven't watched it yet, but I can already tell this is gonna be amazing. Congratulations on finishing the first part and starting the series, Ace Attorney: Elements of Justice! :D
Man this was amazing, I think the writing is fantastic, the characters felt authentic, and the VAs did an amazing job. I am extremely impressed by what you guys managed to make, regardless of timeframe.
Awesome start to Elements of Justice. I really liked it. You did a really great job on it. You’re really awesome. Please keep up the awesome work. I really can’t wait to see episode 2 soon and I’m really looking forward to this new series.
I am so, so very happy to see this. Turnabout Storm played a role in getting me into Ace Attorney, and now that I've started playing the games, it's a delight to see this sequel.
What a great first episode! A perfect introduction for the series! I cannot wait to see how the trail plays out! First Pokemon and now this. What a heck of a Wednesday! You clearly put a lot work into this project. The assets look just simply fantastic! Just please do not make us wait another 3 years before the next episode is released 😊
I wish I could help but I have ZERO money to donate and I know nothing production wise on how to make this. But I will share it around for people to see 😊
I feel like the Ace Attorney crew shared their dark pasts way to easily. They literally just met those ponies today and they start blabbing about killing parents and suspecting friends. Twilight had the right idea keeping her feud with Trixie to herself for now.
Yeah, I felt they revealed their past a bit too easily. I would've changed it, but since I wrote this 4 years ago, and that its already been voiced, its kinda too late to change it. I'll watch out for something like this next time.
Great start! Storm was what got me into Ace Attorney, I eagerly await the rest of the 'game'! :D "You can't come in here!" - God I want them to say "Bitch please one of the alicorn princesses is with us." Also, I think we can all make a good prediction as to which snide mare gone done it. Of course, Case 1s aren't known for the plethora of potential suspects or massive twists. :P

The Callbacks to Season 3 and 4 of MLP and Events and Cases in Apollo Justice and Dual Destinies were nice.
I have not played the games but I have watched the show ( only 1 season ) and yes I see the last time he was here
This was surprisingly really freaking good! The call-backs and nostalgia combined with the all-new story, and new characters is really well done!
It was! I can't wait to see the rest of this series! It looks so well done!
Aside from Phoenix's new VA not giving quite enough emotion in his performance IMHO (plus a few typos and text to voice delivery inconsistencies), this was a very promising start.
The overall presentation is already a huge step up from Turnabout Storm (and even looks better than TS looked by the end of its run), the voice acting is pretty solid, the callbacks to Turnabout Storm were very much appreciated by me (heck, the twist that Trucy's hat was the one Trixie gave Phoenix legit almost made me shed a tear of joy), and the writing for character dialogue is pretty entertaining and captures the spirit of both series pretty well IMO.

Congratulations on finally releasing this to some extent. I imagine this is taking at least a little bit of weight off your shoulders. Hope this turns out good.
As a past editor of the series, I am glad to see this project begin its fruition. It is an honor to see the first episode of this series, and I will enjoy every second of it. Keep up the great work, you beautiful pony.
Some people would see this as a troubled production, what with everything you had to deal with. What I see, on the other hand, is a Determinator. Turnabout Storm was one of the things that got me interested in MLP to start with, so I'm glad to see this particular series up and running. :)
It makes sense that Phoenix didn’t remember at first. For him it’s been like 8 years.
Turnabout storm introduced me to mlp. Now his sequel will help me to depart from it, when S.9 ends. Full circle.
Well turnabout storm was that got me in to ace attorney.
Well turnabout storm got me into mlp and ace attorney lol
Same here :'v

... the Royal guard couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag... that’s on fire.
Omg omg omg i cant wait tournabout storm is to this day my fav mlp fan project and what got me into mlp 😁
Same here! It’s also what jumpstarted me into the brony fandom. I am so excited for this crossover series to be reignited. It’s already off to a great start bringing back some old faces and some new ones. I can’t wait to see more!
It’s what got me into Phoenix Wright!
Funny, turnabout storm is what got me into ace attorney lol
Yeap love mlp....
Me too!
omg...
Omg this is actually real...
This is an **actual** proper project...
**Of two of my favorite series at the moment...**
Yes! I will wait till the ends of time and back for this project to come out!
I've been waiting for this ever since I saw the first trailer THREE YEARS AGO
And I think its gonna be worth it.
Twi: "So what have you been up to?"
Phoenix: "Well I lost my attorney's badge."
Twi: "... Errrr, is it too late to change Coco's attorney?"
It's a good thing they nabbed him from after he retook the bar exam and got it back.
@@anthonydeadman It's a good thing she didn't nab him while he was in the middle of a trial XD
Or heck, for all she knew he could have been having an operation at the time :S
@@Someguyhere111 at least the judge would have an idea what was going on
An excellent episodes to start. Keep up the great work and hope this whole set goes off wonderfully.
A tense start, a great reunion, plentiful drama. All turning into an amazing case.
HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTT!
It's finally here!
I'll watch it ASAP, but man, did this brighten up my day!
I hope Edgeworth appears in another funny dream sequence like in part 2 of the original.
I remember that from the original Turnabout Storm! Really hilarious!
@@MrGameutopia1 I do too.
@@MrGameutopia1 edgeworth is dumb
"The Defense is ready, your Honor."
"The Prosecution is ready your Honor."
"Oh, hey Edgeworth."
"E-EDGEWORTH?!"
Or he appears!
let me just get this out of the way right now: Aaaahhhh!!!! Look at the little detail of all the ponies blinking occasionally?!!! It's such a small thing, but it makes each of the characters feel so real at the same time. Great creative decision.
In some ways, this is a warmup chapter, getting the 3 newbies warmed up to the world, making sure we have cliffnote versions of where all the characters are at right now, reminding us where we came from in Dual Destinies or from season 4 of FIM.
In other ways though, this is a very different sort of feel compared with Turnabout Storm. And that's a good thing. Namely, this video presentation feels far more conversational compared with what went on for much of storm. That the focus is as much on group banter and thinking out loud as it is the case. And that's good. Gives the show its own feel rather than the more procedural "prequel". That everyone's poking around, remembering one thing or another, etc.
it's also good that you gave each of phoenix's assistants something to do/say during the investigation. Finding small clues, giving small notes about the investigation, having their own bits of investment in the world. It's good writing that you're actively trying to balance everyone's screen time.
On a small note of criticism, you need to watch your tenses while creating this script. Namely, it seems there should be a few more past tense sentences like saying overall concept and coco "made" a great team rather than "make" a great team.
overall though, a great start. looking forward to your take on the trial sequence. Especially since your psyche lock test footage shows that phoenix is going to interrogate blueblood for 1 clue either before or after the trial for something. maybe a hit at a bigger case to come?
But keep it up. let's not have part 2 of 2 take 2 extra years as well.
Yeah I noticed my tenses were not consistent, which is something I'll watch out for in future episodes. And don't worry about the rest of the series taking 5 million years, as a lot of people wanna help me out, and I'll be trying to assemble some kind of team. And thanks for pointing out the strengths of the episode as well, so I'll know what should I keep doing! Thanks very much for your input!
Just a little piece of advice for future animations:
If you want to fade out / fade in a pony puppet using alpha transparency, it's better to render the entire pose to a PNG image and set transparency on that.
If you set transparency to all the separate pieces of the puppet instead, their intestines will become visible for a split second, which looks very creepy :q
Other than that, very good job with the animations, voices and everything! You have no idea how long I waited for this to come out :) Perfect timing too, considering the incoming hiatus :J
Thanks for the tip! I'll try this out in the next episode!
@@josecarrilloii4036 the last part made it unfunny 😕
@@josecarrilloii4036 Uh...No offense, but what was the point of that?
@@manoluigisupershow1411 Comedy, probably.
Great start! Looking forward to more! Just please don't hit us with the "To be continued in part 5/4"
Hey, if that's what it takes for the story to be told right, I'd rather have that than have it artificially edited down to fit! ^.^ Just imagine if we'd gotten less of the first series for that reason!
Hey now... some of the best music of all time was written in 5/4.
Finally, after so long of following this project since its conception, EoJ is finally bearing fruit! I very much hope that thing will be looking up for this project from here on out!
Six years ago, I commented on one of the videos here that "I can't wait to see this in about six years"
I am not disappointed
The animation for this is top notch and incredible
The voice actors and actresses are on point for the characters
I’ve waited for this for about six years and it’s so amazing
Can’t wait for more of your awesome work and effort put into this project!!!!
I would absolutely kill to see this project completed. I am a patient man however and I can wait for it to be finished properly.
But gawd damn! I want to see this done fully! You all rock and may the creativity gods give you everything you need to bring this to completion
I am super happy to finally see this project come to fruition, the original Turnabout Storm was the reason i even got into the fandom, since being a huge Ace Attorney fan made me check it out back in the day.
After just the first part i can already tell that a lot of love for both the source materials went into this and i think everyone did a fantastic job bringing that feeling of the original back to life and showing its worthy of being a sequel to it.
I loved just about all the VAs work, everyone did a great job making the characters sound good, while it is annoying to lose the old phoenix thanks to unfortunate circumstances, the new voice fits very well in his own right considering it plays so many years after the events.
The background art and music also fit all very nicely and helped make the scenes come alive, but this does bring me to a few nitpicks that i noticed watching.
Firstly, the pony models are a little glitchy when fading away for example, nothing big but i did notice it.
Secondly, maybe it was just a personal feeling, but i felt like some of the dialogue could've used a bit more background music, still what was there all sounded great!
That's about all i wanted to say, just a huge thank you for everyone involved, it really made me feel like i watched the original again, just with it's own unique style. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Thanks! I know there's a way to fix up the opacity issue with the character rigs, but I'll have to look that up later on. And I'll turn up the music a TINY bit more if necessary. Thanks for the input!
KimDanielsVA in the credits! I haven't seen your name in years! Hey!
I havent seen your name in years either!
I just love Athena and Trucy just go along with the flow. And Apollo is like...Yeah... You get it.... He's just there freaked out
Meanwhile back in Phoenix's world.
Miles Edgeworth: Where's Wright?!
Wright: /*disappears for one day*
Edgeworth: "...I feel a disturbance in the courts."
Phoenix: *defending talking ponies*
Miles: My "wright is doing something insane" senses are tingling...
I feel my spidey senses tingling
Aww man that’s a gun
12:55 Talking ponies, dragons, griffins, Minotaur, yaks, anthropomorphic cats, the list goes on.
Woah, you actually convinced the VAs from Turnabout Storm to voice their roles from 7 years ago?? You, sir, are my guardian angel who swooped in to make this masterpiece.
except phoenix's VA but sure whatever
@@Starwoilfkeyblade you saw in the description over why Phoenix's actor didn't return, right?
I'm so happy this is finally out.
Nice first episode, can't wait to see how this case is gonna develop.
- Enjoys watching it -
- it says To be continued -

Oh wow I didn't think I'd end up seeing someone make a sequel to Turnabout Storm! This I HAVE to see!
Trucy Wright: I don't want to fade into Oblivion
Me: *must not think of an Infinity War Dusting Spider-Man/10th Doctor Joke*
@CoolDoominator yep
i was thinking of the oblivion meme too XD

@@grosebud4721 whynaut?
I love what you did with this and hope you continue. I’ve always liked turnabout storm and wished there was a sequel for it. The characters feel like they’re canon selves and it awesome with all of those throwbacks to both series.
Seriously great job and keep up the good work!
*sees new video, thinks it's another update, doesn't check title*
Excitement: Medium
*video starts with spotlight instead of message, pause video, looks at time, looks at title*
Excitement: COMPLETE OVERLOAD
I love what you're doing and this looks awesome compared to the last one, and that one was really good as it was!
I don't know if someone else mentioned this or not, but aside from a few typos/voice-to-subtitle discrepancies, one major thing is that Apollo has a fairly big fear of heights. Idk if that's just the fact that this was probably in production before SoJ and it became too late to go back and alter or what, but thought I would point that out just in case. Other than that this was handled fairly close to how the games do it, though that bit with Playwright was kinda slow. Can't wait till the next part!
Saw turnabout storm a view years after it came out. And to think id see a sequel tonight while looking through the recommendations. This was a lovely first episode and i look forward to watching it all.
Enjoy the ride 😊
43:05
"Aww, I wanted to try some of them out."
said Apollo
XD
J just so you know that was athena but I get how you got confused they both start with a
Isadora Alvarez - No fool. The name on the text box read “Apollo” when Athena said “Aww, I wanted to try some of them out.”
12:32 Trucy: Whoa, a marshmallow pony!
Me: *D O N ' T*
Like father, like daughter.
Oh my gosh.
Your back! I loved the original series and and happy this got a sequel!
Don't think it's the same person.
IT'S FINALLY BEGUN!!! This has been one of my most anticipated projects in the fandom for a long time, and so far it's a ton of fun! The investigation has really got me curious and I can't wait to see more interactions between the old and new characters. And of course, the trial! I know this was a lot of work, but it was absolutely worth it, and I look forward to what comes next.
Also, not gonna lie, I got a little misty eyed at the moment with the hat and the picture. Ah memories. That was so sweet.
We are all so excited about this, thanks so much for all the hard work. :D
'You're really like a knight in shining armor!'
Me: I can see Apollo and shing armor broing out.
I've never thought I see the day, but it's happening finally after these long years, man it's like a trip back down memory lane.
I would like to hear "Lively People" and "Cheerful People" soundtracks during interactions in future episodes.
Don’t you mean: “lively ponies” and “cheerful ponies”?
I sAw zecora in one of the other thumbnails and I thought I was going crazy. Then I clicked and I found an astounding crossover!!!!
I still love Apollo’s “I’ll lose my masculinity if I do” meanwhile you have me screaming “YOU NEVER HAD ANY!”
Your voice of Phoenix is really good!
Keep up the good work!👌🏼
Ahhh thank you ;w; I can assure you i get better later on!
IT LIVES!!! But seriously dude, I'm super impressed. You stuck to your guns and overcame a lot to get here, and you should be proud of that 👊
Yay! It's finally here! Quite intriguing mystery you have set up. I can't wait to see what happens next in the next video.
This is positively amazing,spectacular,outstanding and phenomenal i love it, i look forward to part 2.
Same dude, same! 😁
Phoenix: “Magic doesn’t exist.”
Maya, who talks to ghosts: “I’m right here!”
It could be that Phoenix considers Spirit Channeling as something different than magic.
You’re not a nobody in the fandom, I’m very much positive you’ll very much become a huge somebody to a celebrity, I have faith in this new series ^^
I have been waiting for this for so long, it's thanks to Turnabout Storm that I even got into Phoenix Wright! So seeing this being continued is just amazing!! Also DON'T WORRY COCO WE'LL SAVE YOU!!!!
Wow, I remember about Turnabout Storm back when it came out, and I was left with a very good impression, even if I'm not one who knows a whole lot about Ace Atorney. I think this series is shaping up to be an absolutely great follow up: I really applaud the voice actors for their talent, and the interactions between the characters.
Great job, man!
OMG! This started EXACTLY as I imagined years ago X3>
Specifically the exchange about Twilight becoming an Alicorn and Phoenix having a daughter.
I feel this proves that there are still great things in the fandom even after the series. Onwards to the bright future!
I see the "Overall Concept" of this crossover is amazing
Finally! after 6 years its come back. I loved the new animation, VAs, Interactions. also....CAKEWALK?! {now that's something XD}
I found this to be as good as Turnabout Storm. I hope it continues.
*Phoenix* : It was awkward for me when I was the only human here last time.
*Judge* : Am I a joke to you?
Only vaguely sane human, I'm guessing he means...
After so many years since Turnabout Storm finished, I decided tonight to search for it in UA-cam, see if there was something new.
I was quite surprised to something here! I held back expectations, knowing this is a fan sequel and all, but I'm quite pleasantly surprised with what I'm seeing! The characters feel like themselves, the writting and jokes are pretty sweet, and you got me hooked on this case!
On top of that, the callbacks to Turnabout Storm make me feel quite nostalgic. Man, it's been so long since that series ended. I may not have an interest in the MLP series now, but I sure have for what it's looking to be a promising fan follow up!
Anyone else think Phoenix waits way too long before answering his phone?
I think he likes the song.
While playing the games, I always waited like a whole minute before answering.
@@josecarrilloii4036 THANK YOU for the history lesson, I'm sure we all already knew what the song was.
Wow, this is beyond amazing. Sorry to hear about all the hiccups and struggles but I'm so glad you were able to push through and make this. I loved Turnabout: Storm and seeing your work is definitely exciting it'll be another great attorney hit
Omg
IT'S HERE!
I haven't watched it yet, but I can already tell this is gonna be amazing.
Congratulations on finishing the first part and starting the series, Ace Attorney: Elements of Justice! :D
Man this was amazing, I think the writing is fantastic, the characters felt authentic, and the VAs did an amazing job. I am extremely impressed by what you guys managed to make, regardless of timeframe.
Awesome start to Elements of Justice. I really liked it. You did a really great job on it. You’re really awesome. Please keep up the awesome work. I really can’t wait to see episode 2 soon and I’m really looking forward to this new series.
I am so, so very happy to see this. Turnabout Storm played a role in getting me into Ace Attorney, and now that I've started playing the games, it's a delight to see this sequel.
Sonata became an attorney, I'm calling it now
What a great first episode! A perfect introduction for the series! I cannot wait to see how the trail plays out! First Pokemon and now this. What a heck of a Wednesday! You clearly put a lot work into this project. The assets look just simply fantastic! Just please do not make us wait another 3 years before the next episode is released 😊
I'm planning to make some kind of team to make sure it should've take long for me to make episodes. Glad you enjoyed the episode!
I wish I could help but I have ZERO money to donate and I know nothing production wise on how to make this. But I will share it around for people to see 😊
"Why would I need alcohol? It does nothin' but make you tipsy." The element of honesty everyone.
Innocents
I feel like the Ace Attorney crew shared their dark pasts way to easily. They literally just met those ponies today and they start blabbing about killing parents and suspecting friends. Twilight had the right idea keeping her feud with Trixie to herself for now.
Yeah, I felt they revealed their past a bit too easily. I would've changed it, but since I wrote this 4 years ago, and that its already been voiced, its kinda too late to change it. I'll watch out for something like this next time.
55:10 Huh, that pony looks kind of looks like.... Oh no. Well this is not going to be a pleasant trial.
Phoenix: You! I remember now! You're Twi... Twinkle Sprinkle!
Twilight: ...Phoenix, what the hay?!?

They only way you could have made Apollo better is by making him terrified while on the catwalk
OMG the legend has returned!!! I love this so much! Voice acting is on point as usual. Can't wait for episode 2.
"And it's been a while since I lost my mind."
No it hasn't, Apollo. No it hasn't.
so good to see the beginning of this series.
Well done team, I wish you the better.
Great start! Storm was what got me into Ace Attorney, I eagerly await the rest of the 'game'! :D
"You can't come in here!" - God I want them to say "Bitch please one of the alicorn princesses is with us."
Also, I think we can all make a good prediction as to which snide mare gone done it. Of course, Case 1s aren't known for the plethora of potential suspects or massive twists. :P
