After a year since the Ace Attorney anime aired on Japanese televisions and streamed on Crunchyroll, the series is seeing a localized release on home video from Funimation.

Funimation's description of the series is as follows:

As a brand-new defense lawyer, Phoenix Wright is learning what it means to be a true defender of justice. But when his mentor is murdered, things go downhill fast! With all evidence pointing to the victim’s sister Maya, it’s up to Phoenix to use all his wit and powerful shouting to prove her innocence. Which is easier said than done when up against Miles Edgeworth, the genius prosecutor.

The first 13 episodes will be available in a DVD/BluRay combo pack, with a planned release date of Janurary 23, 2018. The boxset can be preordered here: https://www.funimation.com/shop/home-vi ... bld-00547/

Gonna be nice having an English dub for this. Watching the sub using the game's localized names was jarring, since I can clearly hear them saying the Japanese names.

I wonder if they'll get the AA5/AA6 dub cast for this.

I've been hoping we would get a dub at some point. While I think the anime is merely okay, I think I will pick it up regardless so I can see how it is in English.
