God the spritework for these games is fantastic.

I'm very fond of his super-smug shrug and headshake. Just really wants to make you show him up.

It is ineffable that she would do this.

I seldom pay attention to mundane details such as time and place.

Are those two like... correct?

Edit - no, I mean... it seems like RW is actually using an applicable word in its correct meaning.

I still find it super lame that there aren't any non-murder trials in these games, but according to threads on the subject, you couldn't get any tension out of a trial that doesn't threaten a death sentence.

Also this is one of the few times where Gumshoe really shines at his job and it makes him (one of the many) Best Character in this series.

This is the case in which various characters really come into their own.

(Click here for video, courtesy of Xander77, of the canon path. It's worth watching.)

Thanks for including this

The video isn't mine, but it's really great, and if you're not watching it, you're missing out. The game has a fairly limited set of tools in terms of sprites and music tracks, but goddamn if it doesn't pull together an amazing scene using these.

On the other hand, the anime kinda bungled this bit. Nowhere near as much of an impact.

This completely misses the point of why dumb laws are great.

That's, uh... not how laws are made. You'd certainly have to convince 50% of some group to vote "yes" on that law, but that group is rarely 50% of the relevant legislature, never mind the constituency they represent.

A great number of laws are passed by a small group merely because no one else was in attendance / objected, any number of regulations are encoded in law despite never getting an "up and down" proper vote, a lot of laws or bylaws are bundled together in ways that don't really make sense ("Here's an omnibus education funding bill. Oh, and it has a rider about people shooting bigfoot. No, you can't object to just that part.")

Yeah judging by actual physical features Lotta's character designer clearly intended her to be a black woman, but then some bright spark was like, "I like mayonnaise. Hint hint."

That's nowhere close to how Japanese animators draw black people.

Yes, because all Japanese people draw exactly the same way, forever,

Not necessarily. But there is such a thing as a "common style", and the people illustrating Phoenix Wright don't really deviate from it.

and also all anime is about white people, and the only distinguishing feature anyone of any race has is skin color.

Confessions. I'm not sure if you're being serious, but that's the "a bit too obvious" explanation for me.

I'm having trouble reading this sentence as referring to anything other than 3 distinct persons. Could you illustrate your line of thought?

Anyways, in that context a comma would be absurdly inappropriate when compared to brackets or dashes.

I'd be against this, to be honest. The reason the book he was using as a source was written was because there's a boatload of about dumb laws online, and it'd be a lot of extra work for Mors to filter through the potential crap.

I guess it would require a [citation needed]?

As a satire of the Japanese legal system, this would work better if it wasn't a series of cases in which the defense / player keep achieving the impossible.

PS - I still don't understand the logic that lead anyone to the "double murder" conclusion, even by PW "logic" standards.
