It seems that from April 2016 an Ace Attorney anime will begin broadcasting in Japan!
Staff note: The official JP AA Twitter confirms it. More details in the coming months!

I earnestly hope I will be proven wrong in this case, but I'm not feeling the mood. If anything, since we've barely got anything from GS6 at the moment, all my hype is still on there.

I'm glad I wasn't reporting on false news then XD A lot of people talk about an AA anime and make fake screens etc. So now that it's real, it's not hit me yet as to how exciting this is! (Maybe because we need to wait until next year...?

Although considering Phoenix is the star of this i have no doubts that Capcom will give this anime to the first dubbing company they can find and license it to America.

This has been a long time coming. Really, this is a no-brainer. I'm just surprised it took Capcom THIS long -- I mean, we have a manga, live-action movie, musicals, stage plays, concerts, merch, and a freaking drama CD! How did they not think of an anime before?
Anyway, I'm hyped, but I am keeping in mind, this anime can go many places, good and bad. The production behind it, the episode count, the series composition, all that stuff. So far, I really like the designs on display so we're good so far, I think.
One thing's for sure, though. Having an anime should be able to attract new people to the franchise.

But geez, an anime. I can't wait to see how it plays out!
I've heard rumors… Bramimond, one of the eight legends, devoted himself entirely to the dark. All emotion, all memory… dissolved in a river of dark. That is how he received the power to best dragons

I guess I want to know if it's going to be original cases or recreating the game. If it's original cases, that'll be awesome. If it's just following the games... I've played them (and seen the live action movie) enough times that I'm not all that excited to go through it again.
...Although I am haipe to get an official AA opening, instead of just the fan parody ones.

I'd love anything. An adaptation, an AU, original cases that still fit in the main game storyline [the most likely imo], any of it, bring it on. As long as it's not like. Some mini-series. Give us a long-runner, Capcom!

12-26 series are perfectly fine. I don't really see the issue here.

While all the shenanigans and goofyness might work in the game, it's hard to think they would work in an anime of sorts. Then comes the issue of what is going to be the material used, original ideas or game material. I believe it's going to be original cases to create more suspence, i mean, reading a crime novel when you know who dunnit is no fun or exciting at all.

They're alright, but I'm the type that prefers around 50 episodes personally. And more is better [as long as it's not filler of the terrible sort].

My friends are all huge into anime (not me, besides two series) and I've always pushed AA on them but they've never bitten. When I told them about this, they said they'd watch it
Mildly upsetting because if it follows the games, they'll be getting a worse version of the story

And the anime is coming out in 2016... the first case, State vs. Butz takes place also in 2016. Even if they were late in producing the anime, they couldn't choose a more fitting year to release it. Listing some main concerns:
1) If they choose to base the episodes on the first game, I hope they do so in a fresh way. Plenty of people already played the game and watched the movie, seeing the same thing rehashed over and over again can lessen its impact. I'm kinda hoping they'll crank up the drama, flesh out the overlooked characters (give Dee Vasque more love pls?) Imagine opening of Turnabout Sister animated... or Manfred headbanging animated... I can't handle this
2) I hope they'll produce lots of episodes, so that the pacing is ok/not too rushed. For Case 1 I can see it taking place in one episode, but later cases should be split between a few episodes, for example 1 episode for investigation, 1 episode for first day of trial or maybe more, and so on (really hope it won't be like Dangan Ronpa, the characterisation suffered).
3) Someone pointed out this might be a way for them to gain more fans, with the release of the anime they'll undoubtedly make merchandise and gain more money... in order to cover for game making costs.
I only hope they'll make it a quality anime. 4) I wonder if they'll take cases from the manga, or create original cases and characters for filler episodes? As long as they're written well and doesn't clash with the games I'll take it! Anime is a perfect opportunity to explore different possibilities!
The news itself makes me pretty hyped, but there's not enough information yet to judge... here's hoping for the best, and I look forward to more info in the future!

With AA, I'd hardly say more is better. Man, can't even imagine what they'd spend 50 episodes doing.

That's also what I'm wondering. Between this and AA6, I'm hoping we'll get some newcomers to the fandom. (although attracting new fans is about all i hope for from AA6)

Fixed that for you. (I want a scene where Phoenix realizes the importance of a piece of evidence way before it "should" be presented and just thinking, "Gotta wait. How do I make the conversation go to the topic of this item faster?")
Any info on who the seiyuus are gonna be?

Back in the '90s, 50 episodes was quite common in anime. These days, they seem to rely less on filler... I think I also read that seasons are overall shorter these days, due to technological advances and unclear how well something will go. I think 13 is pretty common these days - if I may look at Sailor Moon Crystal, that was given 26 Episodes, but it was quite clear from the get go that it would count each arc as its own "season" of 13 episodes. (Though they seem to advance through the Mugen Arc...? Last I read, I'm not sure...)

1-2 cour is standard. Very rarely are they ever longer than that. A ton of anime were only 1 cour this season, I would honestly expect 1 cour to be honest. Maybe another if BDs/merch sell well.

Yes, definitely. It's what gets me excited too. To just see the world and characters really come to live (more than even the games did) in motion. There's a lot of potential here, and I do hope they'll cater to this.

This is another thing I am hoping for. I hope they'll create original cases so we can get that sense of suspense and accomplishment when solving a mystery, but also so we can perhaps see new angles on characters. That said, if it's just retelling of the existing cases, I won't be complaining. I am sure I'll like it either way! (Unless it of course sucks balls, but I doubt that will happen...)

Definitely a good point. I'll be sure to show it to my anime fans too.
It's also certainly more reason to hope they'll go for new cases rather than rehashing old cases. Perhaps they can be the (hypothetical) cases that happened in between the games. But what do you think, should they still make references to cases in the game, or would that confuse (or perhaps even spoil) people who haven't played the games?

No, but I can imagine (and understand) they'll use the same voice actors that were used in the games and trailers.

Definitely. I sometimes miss the days where anime ran a bit longer than they do now... Yet, at the same time, I don't. It depends on how invested I want to be, and I realize that nowadays I simply don't want to get too invested in an anime anymore and 12 episodes (I think 12 is more common than 13?) is perfect for most anime.
That said, I don't want just 12 episodes of AA. I want more! I want to get invested! Depending on how many cases they cover, 52 actually sounds like the perfect amount. I don't think they should go for 1 case per episode. Rather I want either 1 day or 1 segment (trial or investigation) per episode. Or, looking back at the games... The moments where you get an interruption to save, that might be a good moment to end an episode?

Kinda glad you brought up SMC, actually. I am hoping--praying, even--that the anime looks at SMC and decides not to do that.
I appreciate SMC for what it is, but what it IS is an exact replication of the source (bar a few mostly minor, and one badly executed, changes). Literally one chapter to one episode. 26 chapters (aka episodes) cover the first two arcs. As someone who was looking forward to a manga-faithful adaptation, one would think I would be excited about this.
The problem comes in when you acknowledge that the original SM manga, especially early on, is VERY character-lite, and REMARKABLY fast in its plot. SMC could have been great if they used the 26 planned episodes for the Dark Kingdom arc and then adapted some side material alongside it, because it would have been all-manga, but with extra character depth that was sorely needed in the original. But they didn't, and it suffered for it.
The tl;dr of this is that if the AA anime is only 1 cour (12/13 episodes), we'll likely get all of the plot, and none of the character. While the story and the mysteries themselves certainly have a kind of draw about them, I'd argue the real charm of AA is the cast and how they interact with each other. You might be able to get away with 2 cours, putting in some character-centric or one-shot cases in-between episodes that adapt cases from the game.
Either way, I think an AA anime would really benefit from going a bit longer. Definitely don't want endless filler, but I also don't think AA is the kind of series that can really work with fewer than at least 24 episodes per game, assuming it'll adapt rather than go with mostly-original cases.
