Hey,
This is basically just a quick questionnaire,
All I want is to get the views on the cases from all the forum users,
Basically all you have to do is to answer the questions.
Then I will read your submitted data and after a few weeks analyse it,
I will then post the results at a later date.
*GS4 cases cannot be used, as many people haven't played them

So...

Question 1:
What is your favourite case?


Why?


Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?


Why?


Congratulations, after answering these you will have completed your part of the census.
I anticipate your resutls-

Spoiler:
Question 1:
What is your favourite case?
Rise from the Ashes.

Why?
I adore the characters and SL-9 is fascinating imo. Gant was the best villain in the series and the Skye sisters are two of my favorite characters from anything, ever. I just cannot begin to describe how much I love those two. Jake and Angel were just plain yummy, and Meekins was amusing. Edgeworth and Gumshoe got some nice parts and great character development in this case too, especially Edgeworth. I felt that without this case, his transition from von Karmic to commiting suicide to coming back and being all noble would have felt lacking. The dynamics and relationships between all of the SL-9 characters was a lot of what made this so rewarding to me as well.

The court sequences were also wonderful as I really enjoyed solving three crimes at once. It was difficult but rewarding. I also loved all of the sprite animations and a couple of the backgrounds, specifically Edgeworth and Gant's offices.

Incidentally, cases 1-4 and 2-4 came in VERY close seconds for me. If 2-4's first day of investigation and first court trial weren't the most tedious, boring things in the entire series, 2-4 would have won for its sheer awesomeness at the end, but as it stands it doesn't quite make it. 1-4 wins for lots of Edgey, for von Karma being a wonderfully hatable villain, and for Yanni and just the plotline in general, but the gameplay was boring.

Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?
2-3.

Why?
While I didn't find the characters QUITE as hatable as everyone else did (they all had a couple of moments that made me like them...Moe being serious near the end, Max talking about how he wanted other performers to feel what he did at the Grand Prix, Regina talking about how she was going to stand by Bat, Ben's shyness that made me identify with him...), they still were average at best and mediocre at worst. PW is normally ridiculous anyway (cross-examing parrots, anyone?), but 2-3 took it to too much of an extreme. I mean, come on, it's a murder trial and we're talking about puppets marrying idiot animal trainers, being attacked by monkeys, cracking jokes, eating burgers, and stealing posters?! It didn't help that this case knocked Maya out of my favor as she was the most annoying, useless brat that she's ever been, ever, or that ANYONE has ever been imo. I liked her in case 1-4 and 2-1, but in this case she was just UNBEARABLE.

Not to mention the gameplay was just damn BORING.

btw, I think I haven't made myself clear, my bad, the spoiler tag is uneeded when referring to cases from GS1-3 in general, just use it when referencing spoilers,
it just makes it easier for me to read without the spoiler tag.
Thanks again..

EDIT: The comment made below has given me a change of heart, I was being lazy, please use the spoiler tag for all descriptions.
Thanks

Spoiler: Just in case. GS1 and 2, haven't played 3 yet...
Question 1:
What is your favourite case? Farewell, My Turnabout!
Why? I love the pressure on you the whole case, and the revolving issue of morality. What 'right' and 'wrong' are and how the terms are circumstantial. Plus I loved the return of Edgeworth, Matt Engarde's personality, Oldbag with lasers, Franziska's breakdown at the end...

Question 2:
What is your least favourite case? Turnabout Sisters.
Why? My game glitched, so I had to complete the case three times to unlock the next case. Enduring April May and Redd White wasn't exactly fun, either.

To the OP: While it may be easier for you to read sans spoiler tags, I'd be pissed if I clicked this topic not knowing what the census was about or expecting spoiler tags and had an entire game ruined for me. So I use caution.

What is your favourite case?
Farewell, my Turnabout

The whole idea of trying to make the trial (2nd day) as long as possible, with Phoenix's ridiculous objections ("All footballs and baseballs are suspicious LOL").
Also the pressure with the kidnapping. I was really worrying about Maya.
The characters were also awesome! Pearl's adorableness, Edgey's return and changed self (seeking truth instead of just winning), Shelly's trusty thing, Matt's true self, Adrian's co-dependency (and lesbianism...), Oldbag's fanoldbagism (makin' up words FTW) and her "raygun", Franny being shot (I prefer Edgey to her SO MUCH, se was the worst prosecutor of all) were a great influence on making case 2-4 my favourite.

What is your least favourite case?
The Lost Turnabout

Ehh, where to start? The whole amnesia was bad, it annoyed me. By the way how come the defendant stands near the attorney in the courst as if she were our assistant?
Secondly, the left-handed baseball glove. What about people like me, who knows almost nothing about baseball? (Okay, it's american, and there everybody knows everything about the rules, teams, everything :)
Then, the plot itself has contradictions. (See the cough-up topic with the invisible Wellington).
Finally, hard to admit, but Payne was right, what Nick did was really badgering the witness when asking about "why are the phone numbers there?"

I loved 2-4 most. It was the most INTENSE thing I've probably ever played. I had really strong feelings about all the characters - I adored Adrian and utterly hated Matt - and after all the plot twists, and everything just coming right down the the wire at the mast second and you just have to choose between Adrian and Maya and there's no right answer and it's just... oh, wonderful.

I didn't like... 2-2. I didn't like any of the characters a vast amount, it was on the boring side and there were no major plot twists. I mean, the pepper thing? It was obvious from the get-go. It was good, but nowhere near as good as the others. Plus the music really grated my nerves.

Fav:Fairwell, my Turnabout.

Why:Because not only does it have my favorite case name, but it is one of the most dramatic cases with more twists then a rubix cube!

Least fav:Tie between Turnabout Samurai and Turnabout Bigtop.

Why:Nothing importaint really happens. Turnabout Samurai, the only major plot point was edgy becoming a bit of a good guy near the end, with a bit of a cliffhanger saying that edgy is his rival, "for now," or to even go a stretch, to add the Steel Samurai in. Turnabout Bigtop: Same thing. Only major plot point was edgy's death, and at that we already knew he was dead in case two! All they did was go over the details and show the Edgeworth at the airport cliffhanger!

My faves are 1-4 and 1-5 by far. Any unveiling of some of my favorite characters' histories are good in my book, plus the characters were hilarious--not to mention the ever-popular von Karma Headbang. Otherwise, These two are tied in first place with Farewell, My Turnabout trailing slightly behind.

My least fave: 2-3. Max is a moron, Ben and Trillo need to die, and Regina... *slashes wrists* Surprisingly, Moe didn't really bother me. Regardless, the only redeeming factor was seeing Edgey at the end.

Too lazy... hur hur.

Favourite case -
Farewell, My Turnabout
Matt was such a great villain, and the pressure factor was amazing....
also adrian is such the best girl (next to maya)
only complaint, lack of maya.
*this case may be taken over by "Magnificant Turnabout", depending on what I think of it

Least favourite case-
1-1, even though it was a good starter case, it has now been outdated,
most people will probably disagree

I can't speak about cases from T&T, but the from the Spoilers I haven't been able to avoid, it looks good. Especially Magnificent Turnabout, so this'll probably change come September, but here we go...
Question 1:
What is your favourite case?
Farewell, my Turnabout.
Spoiler:
I absoultely love this Case. The story sucked me in so much, that I started playing Case 4 at about 9pm, planned to play for half an hour or so then go to bed, because I had an imprtant test in the morning. Then Maya got kidnapped and I was still playing at 2 in the morning. Matt Enguard is the greatest villain ever, rivalling even Gant and von Karma, and Shelly de Killer is great. An kidnapping assasin with morals, who'd have thunk it!
One thing that stands out is the contrast between Case 1 and Case 4, with the 'Dream Sequence'. In the first case it's used as kind of a joke, but in the fourth it's used perfectly to show Phoenix's messed up mental state at that point.
The tension and the way you had to extend the last day's trial made a great experience, and Edgeworth's return didn't hurt either! And, with the exception of Lotta and Oldbag, all the characters were well thought out, unlike the preceding case, which brings me onto...



Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?
Turnabout Big Top.
Spoiler:
Ugghh. One word for this- Annoying. Seriously, whoever thought having a 'Flying Corpse' would be a good idea should be drowned in coffee. Unless it was Shuu Takumi, in which case he is forgiven for creating the rest of the series. The plot is not thought out well at all, the characters are not just stereotypes, they're frigging annoying stereotypes. It seems when they created each character they gave them an irritating quirk first, then an actual character second. The only thing that redeems it is Edgeworth's apperance at the end. I know that that makes me seem like an enormous Edgey fangirl, but it seems like a they're rewarding you for getting through that Case with some actual characterisation...

Question 1:
What is your favourite case? Farewell, My Turnabout


Why? Well, for one, I never saw the plot twist coming. It just completely floored me. The story was just generally fantastic. But it's not just the story, not really... on top of that, actually working out how everything worked was really fun, because it had a good balance of being difficult but not so obscure that it couldn't have been planned and so MAKES NO SENSE... see below. The actual picking apart testimonies etc seemed to work better than the others since the player seemed to have to do it more rather than simply realising such and such didn't fit with such and such, with the characters then saying that it makes sense if so and so had done so and so... and then you present another bit of evidence to prove -that-. Repeat. Oops, yeah, I went off on a bit of a rant there. Sorry. XD


Question 2:
What is your least favourite case? Turnabout Bigtop


Why? I didn't HATE it. But... well, aside from making hardly any sense to me at the end it just wasn't very interesting for the reason I mentioned above- you don't DO much it seems. On top of that, beyond Max who I actually quite liked the characters just bored me to be completely honest... Meh. Especially Regina. So BORING. And Ben/Trilo weren't great either ¬_¬

Fav case...

Spoiler: 4-1
I played it with E~A's walkthrough and a loose translation from the "great" translation tool, but WOW. What a case, so dramatic! Nothing makes you happier than hearing Objection! 2001 again. Not to mention some Hobo Pointy of Justice. GARYUU IS T3H EV!L5!


Least fave case...

Spoiler: 1-1
This case was fucked up. I looked back on it after playing the second one and such. NO motive is shown before the trial. After all, Larry didn't know about her sugar daddies. And Payne more or less proved that in court. And also no evidence on the scene implicated Larry. No prints and such.

Spoiler:
Favorite Case: Turnabout Goodbyes (1-4)

Aside from the fact that i'm a maddddd Edgey fangirl, this case had, in my opinion, the most plot twists. (Farewell, My Turnabout was close) Did anyone seriously expect that Manfred would be the real murderer? I sort of suspected that the Hobo was Yami Yugi --- I mean Yanni Yogi, but the way everything played out was awesome. We also got to learn about DL-6 and Edgey's past. And for me, I felt pressure while playing this because the defendant was actually someone that I (and Phoenix) cared about. I didn't feel that pressure in 1-2 and 2-2 because I could care less about Maya, and Maya's whole 'situation' in 2-4 made me WANT to get a guilty verdict because I hate Engarde and I wouldn't care if Maya died. But I CARE about Edgeworth and I really, really HAD to beat that case.


Least Favorite Case: Rise From The Ashes


I'm probably going to get shot for this, but oh well.
Ok. The case was SO. DAMN. LONG.
And for me, it wasn't even that interesting.
Sure, it had nice characters. And the music was nice too. But the story was just TOO DRAGGED OUT to the point where I just wanted it to end. Gant annoyed me, it took me FOREVER to get the jar-thing to look like the blue badger, and the whole evidence law thing with Gant was just an attempt to make things all dramatic but just made it all too obvious that you needed to present the book.
I've only played it twice or 3 times tops, because I get bored halfway through.
And the only thing that it truly adds to the story is Edgey leaving, but that could have easily been done after 1-4.

So, as it stands, In my census,
It appears Turnabout Big Top Acro is currently the most hated (5)
and Farewell, My Turnabout Matt is the most liked, though (8)
though these are subject to change...
The First Turnabout Larry seems to be gaining disapproval, whilst Turnabout Goodbyes Edgeworth seems to be gaining favour,
remember people, a few more posts can change this Census massivly...
my continued thanks

Spoiler:
Question 1 (void since GS4 cases aren't counted in the census but retained for reference):
What is your favourite case?
Turnabout Heir (4-4)

Why?
First- the Mason System. Playing as Phoenix again was fun, and I like the way that the flashback case was done with old GS3 graphics. I also like Makoto, too- so cute! And last- Kirihito's breakdown.

Edit-
Favorite case-
Magnificent Turnabout (3-5)

Why?
I like the way that previous cases (3-1 and 3-4) tied in to this case. I also liked the implied Franziska / Larry and Larry's new name (it was a somewhat flowery name in line with Misty Fey's new name- Tenryusai Mashisu, I think). I also liked the reference to 1-4 (it was a pretty big one too- Misty Fey is killed in this case).

Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?
3-1

Why?
Phoenix was such a total spaz in that case, and Grrossberg and his buttocks! I was a little bit happy every time Mia hit him.

ImageFuture Edgeworth!

Well, my witholding my judgement on T&T cases until it comes out, but of the games released in North America thus far...

Question 1:
What is your favourite case?

I'm going to go with 1-4.

Why?
I liked the foreshadowing for it in the previous cases, the character development, and the plot twists. I like that Phoenix makes a noobish mistake (carrying the original copy of the letter on him), Maya's courage when she threw herself on von Karma, and the cute group picture at the end. It was nicely done.

Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?

2-2.

Why?
It felt so very haphazardly-plotted, and they didn't bother to commit one way or the other on what exactly the legal standing of a person channeling the spirit of the deceased is. It sounds like the best case the prosecution could have made would be criminal negligence, not murder. The whole time I was playing that case I was grinding my teeth and going "this is so dumb, and not in a fun way." I actually rather liked 2-3 because it was so silly and gleefully dumb in a good way. 2-2 came off as sloppy to me.

Favorite case: Edgy Definitely 1-4. I started playing it around midnight, just so I could see the intro murder scene. When I saw it was Edgeworth, I decided not to sleep until I finished the case and found out what the heck happened. And the story developed itself pretty nicely, especially the characters. It showed the backstory of why Edgeworth is the way he is, and why Phoenix became a lawyer. When I first heard von Karma's Objection, I almost wanted to cry. Von Karma I expected it to be a more or less regular case, but then everything got crazy, von Karma went MAD, it was just awesome. It was also the case where Maya seemed to get the most character development: sure, she didn't channel Mia, but she actually did something on her own. It actually made me not dislike her. The other cases didn't really seem to do that. and this case was what made me a phoenix/edgeworth fangirl.

Most hated case: Ini Mimi Sob Either 2-2 or 2-3. I don't know which. With 2-2, Ini just pissed me the hell off. I'm usually fascinated by Japanese traditional-looking things, but Maya's village just bored me. Some of it was just too obvious, like seeing the screen, and how Pearl's mom was all evasive and such. Ini was just too obvious of a suspect, I expected there'd be some crazy twist near the end, but no. It was her, just like I suspected the first time I saw her. With 2-3, it was just.... like a filler arc in an anime. SO MANY BAD PUNS AND JOKES. I'll admit, I was amused by the YTMND reference and Moe quoting stupid things, but that's about it. Moe made me die a little on the inside with his joking. I kept losing health when he told jokes in court. Ben and Trilo were.... uh..... ok, so Regina is 16. Ben is 31. Trilo is a puppet. I don't know how any of that works, and I'd prefer to keep it that way. And investigating was stupid. Why can't I take the piece of paper from his coat pocket? It's wrong to steal? Maya just stole a useless poster, and I can't take a piece of actual evidence? When I got the pepper shaker, everything became obvious. The only thing that kept me interested in this case was wanting to find out what happened to Edgeworth.

Ok, I'll take some heat, but I did like Turnabout Big Top. The music was pretty good (gets shot again), Edgy returning helped, Franzie rocks, Moe was pretty cool, and I just liked seeing how messed up everyone at the cirus was. It was an origanal case.

Least fav: 2-4 (is killed)

I liked the characters and the music, but that's about it. The trials were long and boring. Wendy Oldbag Returns. It just seems to bleh for me.

Favorite?

Probably 2-4, or maybe 2-1.

Why (2-4) - I don't know that 2-4 needs too much explaining. It was a cool twist, and I really like stories with themes - 2-4 has a cool theme to it.

Why (2-1) - I'm a bit biased, because I played JFA first, mind you...this case probably would have been lame otherwise; however, having played it first, it was really awesome. Because I'm very sensational when playing video game, watching movie, reading books, etc., Being thrown into a court case after suffering amnesia made me really, really nervous! Plus, the feeling of having all these people around you that know who you are, while you don't know anyone - as if your whole life is just flying by you - was a really intense feeling.


Least Favorite?

Easily 1-3 or 1-5.

Why (1-3) - It was honestly...just...boring. Granted, it was funny in a lot of parts; but, the investigation phases just seemed like fetch quests, it was a little too long for its own good, it wasn't particularly interesting, etc. It was just, in my opinion, the epitome of a mediocre case in a game series like Phoenix Wright.

Why (1-5) - Good LORD. I thought I'd like this one more after I replayed it...but, I was very wrong. In fact, I think I dislike it even more. The characters are lame and obnoxious, it really doesn't make any sense with the story (I'm not just talking about how they didn't change things in the games to make it fit into the canon...but just things like Edgeworth's attitude, or the story surrounding Edgeworth in general, which would really render a lot of your encounters and conversations about Edgeworth in the first game obsolete if they DID change something), and it's entirely too long and terribly-paced. The investigations are just straight up BORING, and the trials phases are waaaaaaaaay too long. Lastly, some of the DS-specific features were just lame. Gathering fingerprints, in particular, just seems to be like a big fucking time-waster.

Question 1:
What is your favorite case?
Case 1-5
Rise from the Ashes


Why?
Spoiler:
Mainly because there was almost 0 hope of wining the case, plus the characters were awesome in my opinion. Gant was a really cool villain and his music was cool too. Plus it was really the frist case Phoenix won without the help of the Fey's, another plus for me.



Question 2:
What is your least favorite case?
Case 2-3
Turnabout Big Top

Why?
Spoiler:
Every character was lying there asses off, it was really pissin me off to have to go back to Max after 4 trips just to find out her struck Ben. Then when Ben and the Clown got into court they were so annoying that I really could care less if Max was innocent or not, but I needed to get to the next case so I played on. Even though Acro was a cool headed villain, it wasn't enough to pull this case outta the mud.


There ya go.

Question 1:
What is your favourite case?
Rise From the Ashes (1-5)

Why?
Spoiler: Why...
I have quite a few reasons for the love of this case.

One of them is because my favorite character, Lana Skye, is in it.

Another, is that it's a truly deep and complicated case. Lana did it, but she didn't and then, of course, the guy you'd never expect, Gant, did it. Crazy.


Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?
PW: Case 4

Why?
I don't get the Edgey hype. I don't really like this case because it's a little stupid, in the sense of that it's long, but in the end I see no purpose.

Those are all just my opinions.

Favorite Case: Farewell, My Tournabout (2-4)

Why: Just awesome. Everyone's already said my reasons, but the emotion, the characters, the villain, and everything else about it just came together so well. It even made me forget for a while that I don't like Lotta!

Least Favorite Case: Turnabout Beginnings (3-4)

Why: I found it to be a total waste of time. I hated the defendant, hated Kaminogi, and even though you got to play as Mia again, you really didn't learn anything useful or interesting about her (she was nervous as a rookie? SHOCK!). I know it was just set up for 3-5 but they could have found a more interesting way of doing it. And I didn't like 3-5 anyway, so there's no reason to like the lead-in.

I'm not fond of 1-2, either (because of its cheap cheap ending) but it was kind of essential to the story overall, so I can't hate it completely.

hmmm, i return for another inter-census report.
Farewell, My Turnabout (2-4) That's Gotta Hurt is still breezing this topic in the favourite cases department [12],
whilst in the least favourite cases, it appears that Turnabout Big Top is still radically despised Pshhh... [9]

Anyway, its not over yet, not for a long time
I can also tell you that Turnabout Samurai is the second most hated with 4, whilst Turnabout Goodbyes is still liked by many, though it just can't beat the awesomeness of 2-4.

Remember, the more posts on this topic, the wider the range of opinions I have to deal with,
I would like a complete census thanks...

ALSO! An important note to anyone who is going to post,
please only state one case in each catergory, otherwise, from now on, I will only accept the first case you put down in each catergory...
basically, don't say
"I hated 1-1, 2-1 and 2-3" because from now on, I will only accept the first case you put down, (In this example, that would be 1-1).

We need more votes,
Thanks

Note than I played only AA and JFA

Spoiler: My favourite case is 2-4
It's just awesome all arround. It's hard to solve without being too tough, the caracthers are amazing and I loved the moral dilemma you had when you had to choose in beetween justice and saving Maya.. either way you loose but being Phoenix Wright you know they're has to be a way out of this. Also it have one of the most satisfying ending I have ever seen.


A close second in my book would be 1-5

Spoiler: My less favourite case is 1-4
Why? Simple : Because I simply cannot stand Manfred Von karma. He's not perfect, far from it , he's just pure evil who only cares about his pathetic self. Cheating to win =/= perfect, Manfred.

Favorite Case.
2-2, Reunion and Turnabout

This case was simply genius. I loved the twists, the background story and the introduction of Pearl. The story was actually easy to understand despite the involvement of Spirit Channelling. Overall, a great case.
Honorable mention: 2-3. I actually loved the colorful nature of that case, even though I hated Ben and Trilo.

Least Favorite case
1-5, Rises from the Ashes.

Why? I could've say case 2-4 is my least favorite case because of Matt-hatred and poor Adrian, but I'll go with 1-5 because of the flawed story and the many plot holes. I didn't like how much "impossible things" or "OMG how can that happen!" was possible to merge into one sole case. And for being a filler case, it had lots of things that created plot-holes but could have been easily toned down or removed (Lana's 3 king of the prosecutor awards, Evidence Law). Also, the cast of characters were actually okay if there weren't Meekins, he looked like he didn't belong to the cast, distinctively breaking the balance. And Legendary Duo... what a pathetic name.

Question 1:
What is your favourite case?
Rise From The Ashes, aka 1-5.


Why?
'Cause it was epic! For one thing, I loved all the characters. (The Marshalls are my favorites.) And I loved how each one had some sort of relationship with the others, even an obscure one. Except for Mike. I liked their breakdowns, too! But okay. It really kept me playing through it, too. I never lost interest. It got so intense at parts. You get the idea.

Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?
I'd say... Turnabout Samurai, 1-3.


Why?
I actually really liked it the first time I played it, but I know realize it paled compared to most of the cases in either game. People were no fun to talk to a lot of times.

I have a bad habit of feeling the need to defend everything I like, so I'll just say I found 2-1 to be quite fun. And I actually liked Richard. Of course, it looks like I'm not the only one on this forum.

Question 1:
What is your favourite case?
Farewell, My Turnabout

Why?
Spoiler: Case 2-4
Matt Engarde is one of my favorite characters, and I love Juan/Matt and I love Miles/Phoenix and I, personally, see a lot of subtext. I also LOVE the suspense, the way my gut twists every time I have to decide Guilty or Not Guilty? even though I've played the case roughly 400 times. I love the part where you find out about who Matt really is, that part always makes me nervous.

I REALLY love the fact that you are defending someone who is guilty! That made it really interesting the first time around.


Question 2:
What is your least favourite case?
Rise from the Ashes

Why?
Truthfully, I love most this case, because the characters are so interesting and plot holes don't bother me, but there is one thing that ruins all of it for me.

Damon Gant. He makes me sick to my stomach. I can't even look at his sprite, honestly, and it's actually hard for me to type his name, or even look at it. I'm trying hard to get over this random fear/loathing for this character, because I really do love the case. But seriously, when his music started playing on my MP3 player? I screamed. It's that bad. I keep telling myself, it's just a video game, he's just pixels on a screen, and most of me knows this. It's that last little part that causes me to be nauseous at the name "Gant". I really hate it. Especially when I had to help my friend through the case, and it just happened to be one of Orange Man's testimonies.

How many votes does 1-5 have for favorite/least favorite? It seems like a very hit-or-miss case...

My Favorite Case: ...2-2

I just loved it, for some reason. It introduced Franzika, one of my favorite characters, introduced Pearls, one of my favorite characters, And we got the Magatama...plus, It kinda fuels my Nick/Maya shipping passion.

Although it bugged me that While Fran ackknowledged Maya was channeling, you couldn't reason that she wasn't controlling herself.

My Least Favorite case...

I can't believe I'm about to do this...
I"m gonna get whipped...

*Gulp* 2-4*All Reality shatters*

...I don't know why, I just hate it.

Rise from the Ashes....
yes...
6 users have put it down as their favourite case,
whilst 4 users do not like it, and have put it down as their least favourite...
generally, you either like it or you don't...

Gant Meekins Marshall Angel Starr

Reasons why people like it-
-The Marshalls and Gant
-Breakdowns
-Intensity
-Plot Twists
-No Feys??? (I personally don't agree...)
-Length

Reasons for dislike-
-Evidence law = pointless
-Damon Gant
-Meekins doesn't belong
-The name "Legendary Duo"
-Impossibility
-Length (Can be a con as well as a pro)

I really have covered every point people have made, haven't I?...

You missed one con, the investigation parts were so damn annoying and boring, it was easy to miss one small thing somewhere and the story can't continue without it.
