This man deadass came in from nowhere, dropped one of the most important and highest quality early fan animations in Brony history, and then completely disappeared from the internet entirely. Absolute gigachad.
I haven't watched this thing in 5 years. Rewatching it all has been like watching it all over again. Well, somewhat. I didn't remember that line in particular
Question: Who's responsible for this series? Everything was so damm well written! The jokes were good, their personalities remained untouched, the plot was very interesting, and the court bits were just EPIC! The clues being thrown, the evidense, the GLORIOUS war between Phoenix and Trixie! This series wasvery enjoyable, even for someone who's indifferent to MLP such as myself. Well done those who made this wonderful series!
Edit: Previous comment was dumb, NeoArtimus signed off their comment in a fanmade sequel of turnabout storm with 'NeoArtimus', hope that helps any future readers.
My first time hearing about this series was in a bit of random Phoenix Wright iceberg trivia a little over 8 hours ago. Part of me is bitter that I didn’t get to feel nostalgia over this series, but another part of me is grateful that I got to experience something so incredible today. Needless to say, this is now one of my all time favorite Ace Attorney trials.
I need to say, the director of this really needs to get a job. I don't care about the content, this needs to be on his/her resume! That was a really well-crafted series! Sure, he was working off of a set of pre-existing characters with defined personalities, but that doesn't make it easy. The dialogue was really well written, which is incredibly important when basing it off something that's almost pure dialogue. And he really nailed the personalities, almost spot on. I really felt like I was watching an Ace Attorney game. And that was a hefty bit of scripting. It's not exactly often something like this ends up clocking in at hour markings. Incredibly well done. Whoever did this, because I feel PWaaMLPfim isn't a proper name, I really hope you get hired, because this little project really hits the high marks.
+TheAwakeOrangutang "I need to say, the director of this really needs to get a job." The first time I read this statement, I seriously thought you were insulting the creator. XD
+TheAwakeOrangutang Wow, people always beat me to it for finding good videos and make excellent judgment, as well as commentary. Good job for your work of your commentary.
As stupid and no doubt immature as it sounds, this is exactly the reason why I couldn’t bring myself to finish the sequel. Phoenix’s voice just doesn’t work for me in that compared to this and when a main character’s voice doesn’t work for you, you just lose interest.
I'm 7 years late but holy moly, this was the most riveting thing i've watched in a while. And it was so spectacularly well done! Bravo to all the creators!
“Thank you Phoenix.” “Your Welcome Sonata.” That strong sense of appreciation that makes you realize there’s still humanity left in the world, even if it comes from an animation movie.
I must truly thank you for your work on this series. It is simply amazing. This is my favorite MLP fan fiction by far. The investigation parts were a little slow, but the court scenes more then made up for them. The humor was also extremely well handled as well the emotion you conveyed. I'm not sure how much of the story was your creation or the actual game's, but I thought it was a very clever plot, with lots of twists and on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments! And then there were the parts after the last court scene. You skillfully captured Trixie's character and did a phenomenal job with her character development. I think the reason why I love Trixie so much, is because of the implied depth she has. I feel like she was really hurt emotionally as a kid or something. And I could totally feel that here. We got get a glimpse of her inner self. I also liked that Trixie wasn't redeemed at the end. That makes this so much more realistic, and leaves the audience wanting more. This was insanely entertaining all around, and I and can not thank you enough for making it. Thank you.
+IndigoMichigan I remembered seeing this a year ago and was greatly impressed by it. When I saw it again recently I had to comment. Thanks for your kind words. Glad you are enjoying the series. :) Next episode comes out tomorrow.
I discovered it just before both part 3s were released (late 2012, I believe), and getting the newest part was a huge deal. Waiting all that time for part 5 to be released, it was emotional. The whole story keeps you guessing until the very end - beautifully written - and, as an inspiring writer (got over a dozen stories out on fimfiction myself), it's definitely something to look up to. This is up there with Fallout: Equestria as being one of the best-written things to come out of the fandom. - and I look forward to tomorrow's episode of your abridged series!
There are not enough words I can type that will articulate how much I enjoyed this not only as a brony but as a fan of the Ace Attorney series. This series had an amazing amount of love and attention and respect for the source material put into it. The hard work of everyone involved shines through beautifully. Aside from a few spelling errors, this was pretty much perfect. This really had the feeling of an actual AA case the whole way through, from the humor to the situations to the case to the characters, everyone acted very in character and the nods and jokes and memes between both fandoms definitely were recognized and appreciated. I could very easily go on, but to sum it all up: I loved this, this is definitely one of the best pony- and/or Ace Attorney-related things to have ever been created by fans.
I know the feel, this seemed so official! And I've never even played a Phoenix Wright game and this made me like his character SOO much. I wish there was more! Every time they went to court I was just bursting with energy! Like you said, words can't describe it! Best thing on TH-cam in history!
This is 1/5 of a fan made movie. It is over TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG. That is longer than most kids movies, and it is nearly double the length of rainbow rocks, a movie that is actually made by mlp. The fact that a fan could make such a long and entertaining series truly surprises me. Even though most of the animation and such is simple, because it's based off of Phoenix Wright games, it still truly is incredible. Keep up the good work! :D
@@Savagewolver I had to turn up the speed to get through it, and I still wound up having to ignite the midnight petroleum to a ridiculous degree to get through it, it was so gripping, even though I knew the ending!
I doubt you'll even read this, but eh whatever. I'm a big phoenix wright fan, so when I saw this series said"phoenix wright" I simply had to check it out. Now I've never seen MLP before, but I was vaguely aware of it's characters before this, but after this I simply had to check it out. And I can also say I'm now proudly a mlp fan.And this is just... wow. I was hooked from start to finish. Felt like a legit case from an actual PW game. The banter, the jokes, the way everyone makes fun of phoenix, I loved every second of it. It's a shame gems like these don't get the attention they deserve.I just want you guys to know I really enjoyed this movie, and I totally look forward to whatever kind of content you'll be producing next.
Meanwhile, from the other side, a huge pony fan got into PW from this series. :p this crossover made me get into the whole phoenix wright franchise. Glad I found this when it first started coming out.
I know this is an old project as of right now, but as a growing fan of AA and a fan of mlp this project was one of the most amazing crossover creations I have ever seen. Literally everything was, I could even say, perfect. The team has done an incredible job capturing the vibes of AA and mlp in this project. As the saying goes, this may be old, but it's still gold. (heh apologies if that sounded cringy) Thank you very much!
This is legitimately one of the best Phoenix Wright fanmade cases ever made. Every episode has impressed me more than the last. I'd easily recommend everyone who's into the games give this series a look, even if they're not into ponies. I only wish I had given it a proper watch when it was first made!
A joke can only be funny when coming from someone GREAT and POWERFUL. Trixie is GREAT and POWERFUL, hence her joke was instantly funny :) In all seriousness though, I preferred Wright's joke.
Phoenix: Because they might be... copy-wright-ed! Me: *falls off my bed laughing while sounding like a hyperventilating, dying whale-walrus hybrid with asthma* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
+HollyGreenleafG sorry that i cant share your mirth. i kinda blank faced at that one. I know it was a jab at the viewers but Phoenix really should work more on his jokes
bob bread Very simple, if you remember the first game, He can't even recognize a car model, therefore *slams desk*, he wouldn't even recognize a real sports car!!
Okay, there are literally thousands of comments on this video already... But I HAD to come back and leave my thoughts. I watched Turnabout Storm several months ago. I saw a link on EQD and thought “an 8-hour crossover of WHAT?! There’s no way that’s real!” So I watched the whole thing in about 3 days. Then I made my mom rewatch the whole thing with me. I’d never played an Ace Attorney game in my life, and I loved MLP but almost never watched fan projects of it. But Turnabout Storm… I was speechless. The way it was animated, how the characters interacted, the entire plot line, everything was FLAWLESS. As a newcomer, I could completely comprehend everything that was going on; it felt smooth to the canon of MLP, and, looking back on it, I’m continuously astounded at how smoothly it fits with the canon of AA, too. Because here’s the thing: ever since I watched Turnabout Storm, I’ve been debating whether or not to get into the AA fandom. I previously thought it would be too dark for me, but this crossover made me absolutely fall in love with Phoenix, and I was DYING to know the backstories of each and every character seen and referenced. Finally, about two weeks ago, I caved- I bought Spirit of Justice, AND binged the entire anime (which I didn’t know existed but I was thrilled to find). Today I finished Spirit of Justice, which had me in tears for multiple reasons, and I plan on getting the other two Apollo Justice games soon, as well as watching playthroughs of the original trilogy. (Wish I could’ve gone in order, but there was some issues with the Nintendo e-shop). It might sound silly, but the entirety of Turnabout Storm means so much to me. And since I’m assuming it was made after the original trilogy but before the second one, honestly, I consider it prophetic?? I mean, come on- Phoenix gets adopts a confident young blue magician girl who’s name is TRUCY? Idk their actual backstory yet, but I’m 100% headcanoning that she reminds him of Trixie. And the ending of Spirit of Justice being to shout “OBJECTION!!!” into the microphone?!? Just. Amazing. Too many parallels to count. To make a long review short… this game has introduced me to one of my new favorite fandoms, and I owe a lot to it. I still plan on drawing fanart of Sonata in the future in honor of this saga. Dear person who put the time and effort into writing and coordinating this: You’ve made a masterpiece. I have no objections.
I'm replying to a 2 year old comment so I don't have much hope you're going to read this, but: >And since I’m assuming it was made after the original trilogy but before the second one, honestly, I consider it prophetic?? I mean, come on- Phoenix gets adopts a confident young blue magician girl who’s name is TRUCY? Idk their actual backstory yet, but I’m 100% headcanoning that she reminds him of Trixie. Turnabout Storm was made after the first game of the second trilogy (Apollo Justice). Trixie was in Turnabout Storm BECAUSE of Trucy. That's why the blue hat at the end is actually Trixie's. It's also why the portrait of Princess Luna in the court lobby is in the same pose as the portrait of the judge in the lobby of Apollo Justice.
@@TheScyphozoa I didn't know much about AA or the release timelines when this came out, but thanks for telling me! Now that I've seen or played literally every AA game available (including DGS 1&2), I think I would've been able to figure it out if I rewatched the series ;)
@@thelasttrueblade6684 I did! I have now played every AA game to date except the DGS games, which I watched fan-translations of literally less than a year ago and of course nOW Capcom announces official localizations, AAAAAAAAAH WHY X"D
Matthew Nguyen I think Celestia should have a sort of chanelling with Mia, like how Wright explained to Twilight that how he had connections with Spirits he noted 'its kinda like magic'. It should either be connecting to the other Phoneix Wright games, and the newer seasons of MLP: FiM (so Alicorn Twilight) so maybe a few years. But Mia should be in it, either thru spirit or magic, I think Luna should appear as well as maybe a dream-sort of concept would be a good choice for this if it invovles spirits (Luna is best pony, anyway) Discord could make an appearance, which I dont think he should be the main villian but still - he could be accused of murder as not every one/pony trusts him yet coming back, but that would be a good reason... Or the other only reason for Phoneix to come back to Equestria (and bring Maya too either first thing or later) is because Celestia can channel/talk to Mia or her body is just 'there' as didnt Elenor (the Griffon) say that she has seen a few humans that dont look like Phoneix which can explain she's either not fimilar with them or Mia is dressed similarly to Maya's clothing or just looks like her when Maya channels Mia's spirit. Either way, lots of possiblities for a sequal just has to be done... Wright. (Haha, get it?) But I'm all for THE GREAT & POWERFUL TRIXIE returning to the court to try and trump over her arch-rival Mr. Wrong. What would it be like if she met Edgeworth and she was like 'oh no your not being his proscuter I THE GREAT & POWERFUL TRIXIE AM!'. Edgeworth might shoot himself in the forehead after five seconds dealing with Trixie.
Okay! For the mysteries in this video, here they are. 1:50:32 Did you guys see that Rainbow Dash with the Orange skin? Remember when Pinkie Pie said Rainbow Dash had a evil twin sister? I bet you that WAS her, Wob Niar. What was Celestial's secret in the Pycho-Locks on knowing Phoenix human friends? Mia. Who did Celestial meet at the end of the video? Mia. Her, spirit.
Words... cannot describe how incredible this series is. I watched it when it came out. I just turned 16 a few weeks before the release of this final episode. I was an avid MLP fan, watching each episode the day it came out. And now, at 22, I come back to this, being a full season behind on the My Little Pony show. I don't know about any of you, but I can't stand watching videos from over 6 years ago. TH-cam was a different place, and quality standards have improved significantly since then. But somehow, even though I remembered little of this series until two days ago, I never felt that way about these videos, watching them again. Sure, it has some issues, relics of an earlier age of TH-cam. But this... is bigger than that. This is a story that captivated me in the first ten minutes and kept me engaged the whole run. This is a series that made me feel intelligent, and then turned around and proved to me that it's been smarter than me the whole time. I understood right away what the whole events were when Sonata became a witness. The show had cleverly put all the pieces in place, confirming the theories it set up for me to figure out, only to suddenly pull the rug out from under my feet in what might be the most dramatic twist I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. These are characterizations of the characters that somehow are not just accurate to the show, but also _better_ . It's like putting these characters from a simpler storyline in a more complex one seemlessly. And ontop of that, the creators managed to write new characters that are just as, if not more engaging than the majority of the fan-familiar cast. And all these emotional moments... I cried, several times, and I'm not usually someone who does. It's bittersweet, knowing I'll probably never get the answer to some of the questions this series left us on. What's the deal with Celestia? And more importantly, what is the deal with _Trixie_ ? By some stroke of absolute genius, this show not only made a rather one-dimensional character from the show way more interesting and complex (Ever notice how she doesn't lie a single time, even though she makes her malicious goal clear from the beginning?), NOT ONLY did it ALSO redeem one of the most controversial episodes of MLP FiM better than the show ever could (seriously, how do you do that?), no, after all that, it sets up one of the most emotionally investing mysteries I've ever not gotten the answer to. What are those black locks hiding? Just what is it that Sonata noticed? What is the secret to Trixie's behavior? I would DIE to see the resolution. Would breaking those locks change her? Just how dark is this secret? All that is just a testament to how much this series involved me emotionally and sucked me into its world completely, even based on such a ridiculous premise. Thank you, sincerely, to everyone who was a part of this. I probably could not even fathom the amount of work, even behind the scenes, even in aspects of the series that I didn't even catch on to, that must've gone into this. And all of it fits together so beautifully. I hope that eventually we will see this channel make a comeback... But if we don't - and we probably won't - that's quite alright. One masterpiece is enough contribution to the world.
If you liked Turnabout Storm (which I suppose you did), you might want to check out Elements of Justice on TH-cam. It's a fan-made (not made by NeoArtimus) sequel to Turnabout Storm, which was being worked on for 4 years now? It's been going slow though, as they have just uploaded the first part of the first case 2 months ago. Find the YT channel for more details if you're interested. Also I feel what you feel about this fan project. It might just be my favourite fanwork overall, of all time, and I watch it every year since 2017.
Everything you've said I agree with inmensely. This is a most ridiculous premise being given the most love and care to pull it off, respecting both source series in a great way. Seriously, it still amazes me just how good the MLP world and the Ace Attorney world mix in this series without sacrificing the core values of either series, but rather having those core values work together. Even if one series is about colorful cartoon adventures about friendship and the other is about murders and over the top investigations and trials, both have an intense sense of idealism at their core, and that really shows in here. Oh, by the way, we *do* know what Celestia's deal is thanks to that final scene! She accidentally summoned "The greated defense attorney, *period*", and she got Mia Fey, Phoenix's late mentor. As a ghost she was unable to take the case, which is why she suggested her pupil Phoenix, telling Celestia all about him to convince her that he was the right man for the job.
Oh wow, you really summed up this fan mini-series so well! But which episode was ‘controversial one’ that was redeemed here? I started watching the series in the summer of 2020, and I’m past the middle of Season 9 right now, so I didn’t see the controversy.
I finished rewatching this whole series just now. The first time I saw Turnabout Storm was around five years ago, and I had totally forgotten about it, but then the first part of 'Elements of Justice' by TheAljavis got released, and I remembered this series existed, and figured I should come rewatch it as well. And I must say, this series really didn't disappoint me this time either, like it didn't the first time I watched it. It was just brilliant, and... beautiful. Especially that ending... the writing was really great, the characters were believable and weren't too out-of-character, which I think raises the quality and value of this series' watchability. The jokes and references that were sprinkled in were funny too. And I really liked the messages. And that music... they really knew how to use the best songs for the right moments for this series. 10/10, would watch again.
Honestly, Im impressed it was THIS LONG, and cant even imagine how much time it took you guys to do this, but as much as I enjoy Phoenix Wright games, I must say I LOVE THIS!. This has to be the most accurate fan made video I ever saw here in youtube and even so it was a crossover so WELL MADE. This has to be one of the best series I had ever watched.
Words can't describe how well this fan made is, there has been some negative criticism but I'm even surprised at all that such criticism can exist for a brilliant and well made movie this was. Ultimately, the author already announced there will be no sequel due to complications and its really a pity because if they make a series this long with a great understanding of targeting an audience with a solid plot, the future ideas of a sequel would have endless potential. Although besides that, the voice actors alone make this all the worth while with all their hard earned effort. This alone is something I'll never forget and is several times better than the big time budget movies out there today that don't have the proper planning for an interesting movie. I'm so happy this is a fan sub and its free to watch cause I can easily watch this over and over and over. 100 percent satisfied.
Alí Ahmadi Tbh, I even pondered on how it would work, but to my surprise, it did much better than that, it gave me a reason to want to view MLP as a serious competitor against PW. Now I just know, don't ever judge a book by its cover without viewing any content fully. It would of been unfortunate if I missed watching all of this series just because there are "Ponies" involved.
13:00 If anyone is wondering, this is relating to the first case ever in the Ace Attorney trilogy. Frank Sawhit claimed to have seen the thinker clock in the store, but it was specially made, like that golf club :)
The one thing that really stands out about this series to me is just the sheer accuracy of it all. I've seen projects that would just hastily smash the series together for the sake of a crossover, but the amount of love and effort I've seen put into this is quite staggering, and very warming. The characters felt... well, very natural, and true to their original concepts, even (and especially) the original ones. None of them felt particularly out of place, despite the nature of the beast. The voices were also very good, many coming quite close to the show, and Nick's just fit him so well. I really enjoyed Trixie's passive aggressive double speak, whoever had a hand in writing that did an excellent job. I know that in a project like this, there's no guarantee of a sequel, but I'll certainly be watching anxiously.
When Sonata confesses, Moonlight Sonata plays... Moonlight because of Luna's banishment and how the punishment for murder would have been banishment, and Sonata because of well, Sonata. It's actually really sad...
Holy Cow!!! This was amazing. It blended the natures, comedy, and emotion of both PW and MLP flawlessly, in my opinion. Here's hoping that a sequel will happen, if it hasn't happened already. :)
Oh shit, just came back here to relive a bit of nostalgia and listen to Towards The Truth (Total banger), but I just realized it's the 8 year anniversary of this video! I know you'll never read this, but I just wanted to say thanks for making this series to everyone involved. I grew up with watching this over and over again back in late 2015 when I was 13. It's what first introduced me to Ace Attorney, a franchise I'm a huge fan of today! (Just finished playing the Chronicles and they are amazing). These 6 videos have so much ambition in them it's crazy. I mean, 8+ hours of an interesting fully voice acted case that does justice to characters from both series' and includes truly interesting and thrilling plot twists?! Heck, we've even got animated court cases! This series is insane! Thank you so much for being the beginning of my spiral into the AA fandom, and for creating such an outstanding piece of MLP culture.
I don’t think Maya would react like that if that’s all they were. Maybe Edgey-Boy, but not Maya. She’d be into that kind of shit too. I’m too scared to know what those pictures are, especially considering Edgeworth called them a “disturbing fetish.” That is saying something coming from Edgeworth, who hangs around with Larry Butz and Kay Faraday, while being chased around by Wendy Oldbag.
@@youngbounty1394 When Trixie first showed the picture she said the results would be "shocking no pun intended". That likely has something to do with it.
I feel so happy and sad by this ending when Phoenix had to leave, but maybe one day Phoenix will see them again, and if he does, it will be just as awesome as the events you showed here in this video. Well Done Sir, well done.
Versipellis the rogue Changeling can’t wait for pheonix to come back and twilight has wings and he’s just like “ WHAAAA?!?! Where did THOSE come from?!” And starlight would be there too lol. Maybe a real discord appearance too? And the cmc WITH their cutie marks?! Honestly there are so many interesting possibilities for the sequel of this series, especially regarding season 7. There are also multiple questions in THIS ACTUAL SERIES that have yet to be answered; what does Trixie REALLY have against twilight? What do black psyche-locks mean? How are Mia and princess celestia connected? There are so many things we still don’t know, even though the series has ended!
I recently learned about Elements of Justice, which is supposed to be a fanmade sequel to this, they currently have 2 previews up for the first episode
Here's what sets an Ace Attorney apart from a regular attorney. The pursuit bringing the truth to light as opposed to solely getting the verdict in your favor. You are after the latter, but the former is more important.
When Sonata confessed to the crime, i was like " that can't be the end, there over an hour left to the video and then Phoenix objecting to a not guilty verdict was crazy, but thats why i love this series you never know whats going to happen next.
bucca2 that’s so shady tho celestia. The hell man. She totally could’ve converted them into real usd or whatever, yen. He asked about usd but he’s from japan so 🤷♀️ and ARENT THE BITS MADE OUT OF GOLD? He could totally sell that for real money in his world!!!!
@@grosebud4721 In the English-localized games Phoenix Wright is specified as living in Los Angeles, so it makes sense that he wants USD. But yeah, I was shaking my head at how Phoenix didn’t think to ask what materials the coins were made of, or to use the bits to buy valuables to trade for money with back home.
This isn't my first time watching this, and it sure as heck isn't going to be the last. Unlike a lot of fan works, I feel like it actually keeps the characters in character, for the most part, and it definitely has that same feeling of suspense you would find in the Ace Attorney games. The voice acting/audio quality, while not perfect, is passable. Not to mention how emotional the ending was. The people who worked on this did a great job, and I have my fingers crossed for more.
"If anyone needs me I'll be in the bathtub..." "With a toaster..." LMAOOO!!! XD I can't believe I forgot about this. This is the reason I even got into Phoenix Wright and is still amazing, especially now knowing both source materials. Awesome work to everyone involved.
The sheer level of detail worked into this series really stood out to me. It added a great effect and really developed the series to become what it is now. I greatly appreciate the amount of work that has been put into this and dearly hope that the team continue to use their skill well.
Sonata really is one of the most interesting and intelligent "culprit" (by culprit, i don’t say she’s a killer but she still the one who "masterminding" this case by tampering the truth of the events to protect herself) i seen in Ace Attorney games or fanmade. Even if Ace wasn’t killed by her, she still tricked everyone to cover her own tracks and made the case almost impossible to solve. Her guilt was made by very small details like the fact Fluttershy didn’t see Applebloom passed by her cottage when she saw Sonata with the stick, the fact Gilda removed the body to frame Rainbow Dash for the "murder", the fact Applebloom and Sweetiebelle found the broken golf club on the lake, etc... All those small variables which made Phœnix thinking that first Cruise Control killed Ace for revenge of the blackmailing and the fact he assaulted him and abandoned him in the forest (in some way, couldn’t it be considered as attempted murder ?) and lastly, with Fluttershy’s testimony, made Sonata be suspected of the crime. When i first looked the story, i first thinking Sonata was the murderer and planted the blame on both Cruise Control and Rainbow Dash because unlike Sonata, they both had motives to murder him (even the other griffon, not Gilda, had a motive but she was a griffon, not a pegasus, she couldn’t have used the storm cloud to kill Ace) but when i saw the handle, the little twist like the Godot case changes everything and fatally proved Ace caused his own death by flying with it in his mouth when the storm strucked it and killed him instantly. But yeah...karma is a bitch.
☝ *"OBJECTION!"* ☝ - *Miles Edgeworth* *(slams desk)* This is set *BEFORE* the eventa of *"Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney" (2007; 2008 for Western releases)!*
NOOOOOOOOOOO! Its Over! Why do good things have to end? This was truly amazing. The story, the voices, everything! I can only hope you guys make more things like this.
I just finished the main story of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. As soon as I heard the very last music before it says "END", I realized it was also the same music used at the very end of this series xD
I knew this existed since becoming a brony like 5 years ago, and I had never watched it. But my Sister has been playing a bunch of Phoenix Wright which got me thinking about it a lot and I looked it up. Boy, am I glad I did! The writing is AMAZING! I literally was yelling OUT LOUD when the twist came that Phoenix wanted not just one name cleared, but two. Just shouting “NOOOO WAYYY NO WAY IS HE- I THINK I KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING NOOO FREAKING WAY” It caught me that off guard and I was that hyped. Thus, this is really good Wrighting. Also, whoever included Mystery Dungeon music for the final part is doing something Wright. This whole thing is Wright There’s no Trix to it Every little thing’s Gonna be alWright.
This was absolutely amazing. Words can not describe how awesome this series is, with all of the little twists and turns, the cleverly-written metaphors and morals, the fact that almost every main and fan-loved character made an appearance (except Dr. Whooves), and the overall performance and production is incredible! Encore! Encore!!! More please (I would LOVE to watch a sequel)!!!
But Dr. Whooves did have an appearance silently staring at the Judge because he stole his voice actor, he's also in the audience during courtroom scenes next to Applejack. xD
This series was amazing, great job! I can tell you put a lot of thought into the story for this, and the animations and voice acting were good enough to not be distracting. It almost makes me wish there were a Phoenix Wright movie.
URreadingmyaccname Ah, so there is. I'll have to look into that... (Edit: Aww, it's in Japanese. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the game is made in Japan, but still...)
Well, finally watched it. It has been a long journey for you (2 whole years) and for me (seriously, it's probably the longest fan-made video series i've ever seen). But it was worth it. I'm not english, but i didn't have problem following the story. I think that the plot was perfect, every single detail was relevant and it was very well written and enacted. The feeling is the same as an ace attorney game and there are very good plot twists and explanations. It took a lot of efforts and it shows it very clearly, i really want to thank everyone for the good time i spent watching it. You even managed to fit the references to the fandom without forcing them and that's a very good thing! It was funny, bright, clever and somehow a little sad (cruise is a very good oc, along with sonata). The only thing i didn't like is that at the end you didn't explain trixie's true motivation, but after seeing wob niar in the end i think that we will get the answer in a sequel? Then there's to explain why mia ended up in equestria... well, despite this two unexplained thing, i really, really liked this project. And i want to thank you all for giving me such a good time.
This series just reminds me how awesome this fandom is. Creating amazing arts of work like this and giving great meaning and heart warming messages. I've watched this series about 10 times and it never gets old. Congratulations on the amazing series. :)
I laughed a lot during this video, but I laughed so much there! Edge worth is my favorite character and seeing him in that position just, wow! Laughing now just remembering, I'm going to be irrationally happy all day now.
Wow. Just... wow... words cannot describe how impressed I was with this series. The story was very well executed and sounds like something that would really be in a Phoenix Wright game. The voice actors also did a really great job. And the ending, while I think it dragged on a bit, still made me actually feel for Sonata and Trixie. I think I can safely say that I think this is the best My Little Pony fan made work ever to be created. Side note: Of course Pinkie will be late to her funeral; I'm not planning on being alive during mine.
Just realized that Trixie used that money to buy that magical amulet in the show to beat Twilight. How else could she have gotten that money when she was forced to work on a rock-farm just to earn a living.
+jeramahia123 OBJECTION!.....sorry, couldn't resist. Although that would have been spectacular to tie in with the canon of the series, they wouldn't have been so surprised to see her in that episode as they did, and Trixie told them that she went to go work on a rock farm right after she was denied all possibilities of earning a living after Twilight showed her up. This couldn't possibly be canon. (Bear with me, just having fun here xD)
I waited for years to watch this and I regret watching it so long aftter it was complete, man this was amazing all the way through. it was so accurate to MLP and phoenix wright adn such an amazing story. Congratulations for making such a high quality story.
I remember when I first watched this series about 3 or 4 years ago. At the time I was a big fan of My Little Pony, and I knew nothing about Ace Attorney. I blindly clicked on the first part of this series expecting to see an episode of MLP, but what I found was something better than that. After watching the first part I went and watched the rest of the series, and I fell in love with. The writing is amazing, all of the characters fit in perfectly and you could just feel all of the effort put into it. About a year after, I went and bought myself Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and It was all because of this video. After playing the first game, I immediatly wanted to play the rest of them. My love for the game skyrocketed. And well, here I am, still loving the fandom as I did a few years ago. Thank you to the people that made this series. If it weren't for every single person that put their effort into these videos, I would have never been introduced to Phoenix Wright. I hope these videos live on till the end of time, they truely are something amazing.
I spent the whole night watching this, and all I have to say is that it is the best 8 hours i have ever spent on youtube, or even just watching something, in my life.
I have returned form EoJ back to this once again This was a masterpiece It has so much detail yet it is unbelievably old the music, the designs, the animations And through out the entire series it had very very nice runs ups and downs but the peak the highest point is between 1:29:00 and 1:30:00 This point is... simply jaw dropping astonishing and needs extreme amounts of praising It is very good to see that Elements of Justice are in fact continuing this and I recommend everyone to see the continuation of this that being Elements of Justice Final thoughts: this fan project simply has even out done some of the base AA games in the script and it might lack some animations and such however giving it the benefit of the doubt of it being this old This is truly a masterpiece P.s: the psycho locks some did not give an explanation yet there is a sequel so maybe... just maybe we will get some sort of comparison?
I know this has been out for quite a while, but I just watched this entire series today. I'm EXTREMELY glad I came across it. This was amazing. It really felt like I was watching Phoenix Wright and the ponies in a proper cross over. Their personalities were so well done. Such a good script and plot points. I wish this was an actual game. I'd definitely buy it. This is a cross over I didn't expect, but am super happy it was made. Great job. Thanks so much for making this.
You're far from being the only one who loved this fanwork. I watched it 2 years ago with little knowledge about MLP in general (less than a week of experience with the show, world, characters and fandom) and having seen the first two games in the Ace Attorney series. I loved it so much, that I started to explore the pony world more, which in the end got me into the FiM fandom. In celebration of this event, I'm watching Turnabout Storm every year on August, 27th. I promise you that your second or third watches will be just as enjoyable as the first one. Revisiting this series has made me appreciate the abundant references to MLP, AA and other things, and the subversive takes on many crucial elements of the source material, it really is masterful.
Such an amazing production. Top quality, to the point that I consider this canon. In point of fact, I literally can think of no other voice coming out of the judge when I play Phoenix Wright. That is the voice. The writing has also been amazing throughout, and concludes so perfectly it gives me goosebumps. I would even go so far as to say that this production rivals the best of the canon storylines of both source materials.
Mario Peterson ...No.Just no.I would spam Capcom with e-mails questioning their sanity.A bit of an exaggaration,but I think this would be a horrible idea,money-wise and for the sake of the Ace Attorney series.
So I rewatched this to see if It held up after years of not watching it and to my wonderful surprise it was better then I remembered! This is so well done! Whoever you are I hope you have a successful career!
This was quite the trial to see! I'm very delighted that Mr. Wright has the tact to find the truth. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I'd condemned one of those adorable ponies to banishment!
Im really glad I came back and watched this again after so many years, it holds so many sentimental feelings. I remember being about 12 or 13 waiting in anticipation for this particular part to come out. I even had a little countdown calendar and everything.
I'm really sad that this is over, I was pretty astonished when I found that this wasn't some shitty fanfic, and was actually a respectful and well made feature that somehow managed to emulate the feel of the games perfectly, I felt the same stupefied/smug/thrilled slack-jawed outburst of glee every time Phoenix or Trixie made anything of the evidence or turned the events, which is something only the Ace Attorney games have ever made me feel. You somehow managed to pay perfect homage to two amazing universes simultaneously while still creating your own enthralling story, and in a fairly large quantity on top of the quality. It was all intelligently done other than a couple of stupid jokes, and as I said, I was enthralled from start to finish. I highly doubt any work of fanfiction/other fan works for years to come will match this even closely. I can't even think of any official works that outclass this off of the top of my head. You deserve all the attention and respect you get for this, and IMO FAR more than you've gotten so far. I doubt this will ever happen again, but if it did, I would be dying to see it.
I had a big comment here about how claiming that this is the best of the best is rather prestigious, but of course I accidentally closed the google+ box thingy, so the gist of it was this: Saying that your work is the best and that nothing is or ever will be on par with or better than it will mostly bring about hate and harsh critique.
A friend of mine introduced me to this series just last week, and it still holds up so well. Wonderful work, and thank you for all the immense time and effort it must have taken to craft something so intricate, beautiful, and heartfelt.
Wow where to start. I guess the first thing is I can say is that it was absolutely amazing. The writing, the music, the suspense, and the emotional feels. Seriously, give the writers and voice actors a huge pat on the back for what they managed to do here, you guys are amazing. Animators too. The whole team actually. The Moonlight Sonata piece you stuck in there just made my heart skip a beat because not only do I love that song, but it just struck so perfectly in that moment with Sonata. I also think it took a HUGE turn in this and really just made me rethink everything. All in all, I will subscribe to your channel and hope you continue making amazing projects like this in the future. Not only did you manage to write a better story than I see on some TV shows today, you also managed to grip my emotions more than a lot of other things I can say have tried and failed. I hope you guys get more recognition for your amazing talent and work, this whole thing was nothing short of absolutely amazing.
Yeah, this case was just Turnabout Samurai and Turnabout Trump combined. But this one, without murderer. But hey, nice work. But how about those psyche lock in Celestia? Yeah, still need more. Sonata is AWESOME!
At the 3/4 Twilight part at the end when initial 3 locks of cruise were broken and twilight asks if he killed Ace there are 5 new more locks around him. I hoped that we'll get an answer to it.
Indeed, we know the secret about Cruise Control's Psyche-Lock. But we can deduce the secret about Celestia's Psyche-Lock, they appear when Phoenix ask about how she know all those details about him. The is answer is PROBABLY that Celestia is able to "speak to the dead via spirit channeling", that also explain what happen at 2:31:28 where Celestia is probably speaking to Mia Fay, and Mia Fay is probably the one who tell Celestia all those details about Phoenix. ^^

I freaking loved it when Wright started testifying in Sonata's defense. On another note, Trixie is tsundere as freak.
Eh. It’s her thing
That's Phoenix Wright. Winning and losing doesn't matter, he only wants justice.
Remember Engarde?
Agreed was glad to see he actually wanted the truth instead of letting her take the blame
Genuinely the most “Phoenix Wright” conclusion to a case. This is legitimately like in my top 5 for ace attorney cases.
And it’s not even canon! I would love it if capcom and hasbro saw this and just decided this was canon
Question: Who's responsible for this series? Everything was so damm well written! The jokes were good, their personalities remained untouched, the plot was very interesting, and the court bits were just EPIC! The clues being thrown, the evidense, the GLORIOUS war between Phoenix and Trixie! This series wasvery enjoyable, even for someone who's indifferent to MLP such as myself. Well done those who made this wonderful series!
Edit: Previous comment was dumb, NeoArtimus signed off their comment in a fanmade sequel of turnabout storm with 'NeoArtimus', hope that helps any future readers.
@@kkTeaz who
NeoArtimus.
My first time hearing about this series was in a bit of random Phoenix Wright iceberg trivia a little over 8 hours ago. Part of me is bitter that I didn’t get to feel nostalgia over this series, but another part of me is grateful that I got to experience something so incredible today. Needless to say, this is now one of my all time favorite Ace Attorney trials.
I found it a year ago on a TVTropes dive. It was the best fancase I ever saw. So good.
The judge objecting to his own verdict made me lose it :D
Lmao
Judge: Now I understand why you attorneys enjoy cutting off my verdict! The tension! The suspense! The dra-
Everypony else: JUST GIVE THE VERDICT!!!!
I need to say, the director of this really needs to get a job. I don't care about the content, this needs to be on his/her resume! That was a really well-crafted series! Sure, he was working off of a set of pre-existing characters with defined personalities, but that doesn't make it easy. The dialogue was really well written, which is incredibly important when basing it off something that's almost pure dialogue. And he really nailed the personalities, almost spot on. I really felt like I was watching an Ace Attorney game. And that was a hefty bit of scripting. It's not exactly often something like this ends up clocking in at hour markings. Incredibly well done. Whoever did this, because I feel PWaaMLPfim isn't a proper name, I really hope you get hired, because this little project really hits the high marks.
+TheAwakeOrangutang "I need to say, the director of this really needs to get a job."
The first time I read this statement, I seriously thought you were insulting the creator. XD

Wow, people always beat me to it for finding good videos and make excellent judgment, as well as commentary.
Good job for your work of your commentary.
TheUltimate Youth14 Well... thank you!
These are still my headcanon voices for Phoenix and the Judge.
same here
Nice pfp~ earthworm Arin xD
Same
As stupid and no doubt immature as it sounds, this is exactly the reason why I couldn’t bring myself to finish the sequel. Phoenix’s voice just doesn’t work for me in that compared to this and when a main character’s voice doesn’t work for you, you just lose interest.
YEAH I ACTUALLY VOICED THE JUDGE LIKE THIS BEFORE WATCHING THE SERIES LOL
Whoever made the script should get a medal, the friendship letter literally made me cry as well as the hat.
yah same everytime i watch this it does its so strange XD
I'm 7 years late but holy moly, this was the most riveting thing i've watched in a while. And it was so spectacularly well done! Bravo to all the creators!
Agreed and I'm 10 years late to the party... tho im glad I'm still finding new works of art after being in the fandom for so many years
that moment when everything is worked out and awesome but there's like an hour left in the video
that moment when that hour is freaking amazing
That momment where you're watch the series for that reason.
That moment when you realise you've watched this about 10 times now but still love it
I swear to god i thought there was another killer when the case was solved. The pinecone, Cruise Control's silence?
@@gooseytantei7351 look up "trixie pinecone" in google images c:
“Thank you Phoenix.”
“Your Welcome Sonata.”

In case some one wanted to find it (( 1:32:00 ) - ( 1:32:10 ))
I must truly thank you for your work on this series. It is simply amazing. This is my favorite MLP fan fiction by far. The investigation parts were a little slow, but the court scenes more then made up for them. The humor was also extremely well handled as well the emotion you conveyed.
I'm not sure how much of the story was your creation or the actual game's, but I thought it was a very clever plot, with lots of twists and on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments!
And then there were the parts after the last court scene. You skillfully captured Trixie's character and did a phenomenal job with her character development. I think the reason why I love Trixie so much, is because of the implied depth she has. I feel like she was really hurt emotionally as a kid or something. And I could totally feel that here. We got get a glimpse of her inner self.
I also liked that Trixie wasn't redeemed at the end. That makes this so much more realistic, and leaves the audience wanting more.
This was insanely entertaining all around, and I and can not thank you enough for making it.
Thank you.
Oh, hey, it's Scootertrix
+IndigoMichigan I remembered seeing this a year ago and was greatly impressed by it. When I saw it again recently I had to comment.
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you are enjoying the series. :)
Next episode comes out tomorrow.
I discovered it just before both part 3s were released (late 2012, I believe), and getting the newest part was a huge deal.
Waiting all that time for part 5 to be released, it was emotional. The whole story keeps you guessing until the very end - beautifully written - and, as an inspiring writer (got over a dozen stories out on fimfiction myself), it's definitely something to look up to.
This is up there with Fallout: Equestria as being one of the best-written things to come out of the fandom.
- and I look forward to tomorrow's episode of your abridged series!
do you know the music in the after after credits with celestia
couldn't have said it better myself
There are not enough words I can type that will articulate how much I enjoyed this not only as a brony but as a fan of the Ace Attorney series. This series had an amazing amount of love and attention and respect for the source material put into it. The hard work of everyone involved shines through beautifully.
Aside from a few spelling errors, this was pretty much perfect. This really had the feeling of an actual AA case the whole way through, from the humor to the situations to the case to the characters, everyone acted very in character and the nods and jokes and memes between both fandoms definitely were recognized and appreciated.
I could very easily go on, but to sum it all up: I loved this, this is definitely one of the best pony- and/or Ace Attorney-related things to have ever been created by fans.
I know the feel, this seemed so official! And I've never even played a Phoenix Wright game and this made me like his character SOO much. I wish there was more! Every time they went to court I was just bursting with energy! Like you said, words can't describe it! Best thing on TH-cam in history!
Considering that there are typos in the official game... Well, it makes sense.
This is 1/5 of a fan made movie. It is over TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG. That is longer than most kids movies, and it is nearly double the length of rainbow rocks, a movie that is actually made by mlp.
The fact that a fan could make such a long and entertaining series truly surprises me. Even though most of the animation and such is simple, because it's based off of Phoenix Wright games, it still truly is incredible.
Keep up the good work! :D
The length really is incredible. I have a hard time having the time to just watch one part.
@@Savagewolver I had to turn up the speed to get through it, and I still wound up having to ignite the midnight petroleum to a ridiculous degree to get through it, it was so gripping, even though I knew the ending!

I doubt you'll even read this, but eh whatever. I'm a big phoenix wright fan, so when I saw this series said"phoenix wright" I simply had to check it out. Now I've never seen MLP before, but I was vaguely aware of it's characters before this, but after this I simply had to check it out. And I can also say I'm now proudly a mlp fan.And this is just... wow. I was hooked from start to finish. Felt like a legit case from an actual PW game. The banter, the jokes, the way everyone makes fun of phoenix, I loved every second of it. It's a shame gems like these don't get the attention they deserve.I just want you guys to know I really enjoyed this movie, and I totally look forward to whatever kind of content you'll be producing next.
I'm not sure if I'm a brony or a antibrony (my auto correct said brony was ether horny or ebony wtf )
Meanwhile, from the other side, a huge pony fan got into PW from this series. :p this crossover made me get into the whole phoenix wright franchise. Glad I found this when it first started coming out.
They really should do a sequel with Apollo sometime in the future

Are you referring to me?

Well. The answer to your question is, why not. Apollo is a good character and deserves a bit more love from the fan base imo.
I know this is an old project as of right now, but as a growing fan of AA and a fan of mlp this project was one of the most amazing crossover creations I have ever seen. Literally everything was, I could even say, perfect. The team has done an incredible job capturing the vibes of AA and mlp in this project. As the saying goes, this may be old, but it's still gold. (heh apologies if that sounded cringy) Thank you very much!
I find it amazing that people in the fandom still haven’t seen this series. It’s like a staple.

I'd easily recommend everyone who's into the games give this series a look, even if they're not into ponies. I only wish I had given it a proper watch when it was first made!

Okay, there are literally thousands of comments on this video already... But I HAD to come back and leave my thoughts.
I watched Turnabout Storm several months ago. I saw a link on EQD and thought “an 8-hour crossover of WHAT?! There’s no way that’s real!” So I watched the whole thing in about 3 days. Then I made my mom rewatch the whole thing with me. I’d never played an Ace Attorney game in my life, and I loved MLP but almost never watched fan projects of it. But Turnabout Storm… I was speechless. The way it was animated, how the characters interacted, the entire plot line, everything was FLAWLESS. As a newcomer, I could completely comprehend everything that was going on; it felt smooth to the canon of MLP, and, looking back on it, I’m continuously astounded at how smoothly it fits with the canon of AA, too. Because here’s the thing: ever since I watched Turnabout Storm, I’ve been debating whether or not to get into the AA fandom. I previously thought it would be too dark for me, but this crossover made me absolutely fall in love with Phoenix, and I was DYING to know the backstories of each and every character seen and referenced. Finally, about two weeks ago, I caved- I bought Spirit of Justice, AND binged the entire anime (which I didn’t know existed but I was thrilled to find). Today I finished Spirit of Justice, which had me in tears for multiple reasons, and I plan on getting the other two Apollo Justice games soon, as well as watching playthroughs of the original trilogy. (Wish I could’ve gone in order, but there was some issues with the Nintendo e-shop).
It might sound silly, but the entirety of Turnabout Storm means so much to me. And since I’m assuming it was made after the original trilogy but before the second one, honestly, I consider it prophetic?? I mean, come on- Phoenix gets adopts a confident young blue magician girl who’s name is TRUCY? Idk their actual backstory yet, but I’m 100% headcanoning that she reminds him of Trixie. And the ending of Spirit of Justice being to shout “OBJECTION!!!” into the microphone?!? Just. Amazing. Too many parallels to count.
To make a long review short… this game has introduced me to one of my new favorite fandoms, and I owe a lot to it. I still plan on drawing fanart of Sonata in the future in honor of this saga. Dear person who put the time and effort into writing and coordinating this: You’ve made a masterpiece. I have no objections.
Don't worry, you're far from being the only one for whom this fanwork was so inspirational.
I'm replying to a 2 year old comment so I don't have much hope you're going to read this, but:
>And since I’m assuming it was made after the original trilogy but before the second one, honestly, I consider it prophetic??

Turnabout Storm was made after the first game of the second trilogy (Apollo Justice). Trixie was in Turnabout Storm BECAUSE of Trucy. That's why the blue hat at the end is actually Trixie's. It's also why the portrait of Princess Luna in the court lobby is in the same pose as the portrait of the judge in the lobby of Apollo Justice.
@@TheScyphozoa I didn't know much about AA or the release timelines when this came out, but thanks for telling me! Now that I've seen or played literally every AA game available (including DGS 1&2), I think I would've been able to figure it out if I rewatched the series ;)

How many of you agree there should be a sequel to this?
Reply, Comment and/or Like if you agree with me.
I agree 100%. If there ever is one announced, ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!!
Alex Sudder This looks like it was a LOT of hard work. If he's up for making another, sure, but i dont think we should riot about it lol
Matthew Nguyen I think Celestia should have a sort of chanelling with Mia, like how Wright explained to Twilight that how he had connections with Spirits he noted 'its kinda like magic'. It should either be connecting to the other Phoneix Wright games, and the newer seasons of MLP: FiM (so Alicorn Twilight) so maybe a few years. But Mia should be in it, either thru spirit or magic, I think Luna should appear as well as maybe a dream-sort of concept would be a good choice for this if it invovles spirits (Luna is best pony, anyway) Discord could make an appearance, which I dont think he should be the main villian but still - he could be accused of murder as not every one/pony trusts him yet coming back, but that would be a good reason...
Or the other only reason for Phoneix to come back to Equestria (and bring Maya too either first thing or later) is because Celestia can channel/talk to Mia or her body is just 'there' as didnt Elenor (the Griffon) say that she has seen a few humans that dont look like Phoneix which can explain she's either not fimilar with them or Mia is dressed similarly to Maya's clothing or just looks like her when Maya channels Mia's spirit. Either way, lots of possiblities for a sequal just has to be done... Wright. (Haha, get it?)
But I'm all for THE GREAT & POWERFUL TRIXIE returning to the court to try and trump over her arch-rival Mr. Wrong. What would it be like if she met Edgeworth and she was like 'oh no your not being his proscuter I THE GREAT & POWERFUL TRIXIE AM!'. Edgeworth might shoot himself in the forehead after five seconds dealing with Trixie.
Yes there should be

1:11:15, the tribute to classic ace attorney breakdowns, easily my most favoured moment of the whole game movie.
5 years and I respond
Words... cannot describe how incredible this series is.
I watched it when it came out. I just turned 16 a few weeks before the release of this final episode. I was an avid MLP fan, watching each episode the day it came out.
And now, at 22, I come back to this, being a full season behind on the My Little Pony show.
I don't know about any of you, but I can't stand watching videos from over 6 years ago. TH-cam was a different place, and quality standards have improved significantly since then.
But somehow, even though I remembered little of this series until two days ago, I never felt that way about these videos, watching them again.
Sure, it has some issues, relics of an earlier age of TH-cam. But this... is bigger than that.
This is a story that captivated me in the first ten minutes and kept me engaged the whole run.
This is a series that made me feel intelligent, and then turned around and proved to me that it's been smarter than me the whole time. I understood right away what the whole events were when Sonata became a witness. The show had cleverly put all the pieces in place, confirming the theories it set up for me to figure out, only to suddenly pull the rug out from under my feet in what might be the most dramatic twist I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.
These are characterizations of the characters that somehow are not just accurate to the show, but also _better_ . It's like putting these characters from a simpler storyline in a more complex one seemlessly. And ontop of that, the creators managed to write new characters that are just as, if not more engaging than the majority of the fan-familiar cast. And all these emotional moments... I cried, several times, and I'm not usually someone who does.
It's bittersweet, knowing I'll probably never get the answer to some of the questions this series left us on.
What's the deal with Celestia?
And more importantly, what is the deal with _Trixie_ ? By some stroke of absolute genius, this show not only made a rather one-dimensional character from the show way more interesting and complex (Ever notice how she doesn't lie a single time, even though she makes her malicious goal clear from the beginning?), NOT ONLY did it ALSO redeem one of the most controversial episodes of MLP FiM better than the show ever could (seriously, how do you do that?), no, after all that, it sets up one of the most emotionally investing mysteries I've ever not gotten the answer to.
What are those black locks hiding? Just what is it that Sonata noticed? What is the secret to Trixie's behavior?
I would DIE to see the resolution. Would breaking those locks change her? Just how dark is this secret?
All that is just a testament to how much this series involved me emotionally and sucked me into its world completely, even based on such a ridiculous premise.
Thank you, sincerely, to everyone who was a part of this. I probably could not even fathom the amount of work, even behind the scenes, even in aspects of the series that I didn't even catch on to, that must've gone into this. And all of it fits together so beautifully.
I hope that eventually we will see this channel make a comeback...
But if we don't - and we probably won't - that's quite alright.
One masterpiece is enough contribution to the world.
If you liked Turnabout Storm (which I suppose you did), you might want to check out Elements of Justice on TH-cam. It's a fan-made (not made by NeoArtimus) sequel to Turnabout Storm, which was being worked on for 4 years now? It's been going slow though, as they have just uploaded the first part of the first case 2 months ago. Find the YT channel for more details if you're interested.
Also I feel what you feel about this fan project. It might just be my favourite fanwork overall, of all time, and I watch it every year since 2017.
Everything you've said I agree with inmensely. This is a most ridiculous premise being given the most love and care to pull it off, respecting both source series in a great way.
Seriously, it still amazes me just how good the MLP world and the Ace Attorney world mix in this series without sacrificing the core values of either series, but rather having those core values work together. Even if one series is about colorful cartoon adventures about friendship and the other is about murders and over the top investigations and trials, both have an intense sense of idealism at their core, and that really shows in here.
Oh, by the way, we *do* know what Celestia's deal is thanks to that final scene! She accidentally summoned "The greated defense attorney, *period*", and she got Mia Fey, Phoenix's late mentor.
As a ghost she was unable to take the case, which is why she suggested her pupil Phoenix, telling Celestia all about him to convince her that he was the right man for the job.
Well someone is making a sequel
th-cam.com/video/Vg9Tvw0AScQ/w-d-xo.html
Oh wow, you really summed up this fan mini-series so well!
But which episode was ‘controversial one’ that was redeemed here? I started watching the series in the summer of 2020, and I’m past the middle of Season 9 right now, so I didn’t see the controversy.
I finished rewatching this whole series just now. The first time I saw Turnabout Storm was around five years ago, and I had totally forgotten about it, but then the first part of 'Elements of Justice' by TheAljavis got released, and I remembered this series existed, and figured I should come rewatch it as well. And I must say, this series really didn't disappoint me this time either, like it didn't the first time I watched it. It was just brilliant, and... beautiful. Especially that ending... the writing was really great, the characters were believable and weren't too out-of-character, which I think raises the quality and value of this series' watchability. The jokes and references that were sprinkled in were funny too. And I really liked the messages. And that music... they really knew how to use the best songs for the right moments for this series.
10/10, would watch again.
Honestly, Im impressed it was THIS LONG, and cant even imagine how much time it took you guys to do this, but as much as I enjoy Phoenix Wright games, I must say I LOVE THIS!. This has to be the most accurate fan made video I ever saw here in youtube and even so it was a crossover so WELL MADE. This has to be one of the best series I had ever watched.
Words can't describe how well this fan made is, there has been some negative criticism but I'm even surprised at all that such criticism can exist for a brilliant and well made movie this was. Ultimately, the author already announced there will be no sequel due to complications and its really a pity because if they make a series this long with a great understanding of targeting an audience with a solid plot, the future ideas of a sequel would have endless potential. Although besides that, the voice actors alone make this all the worth while with all their hard earned effort. This alone is something I'll never forget and is several times better than the big time budget movies out there today that don't have the proper planning for an interesting movie. I'm so happy this is a fan sub and its free to watch cause I can easily watch this over and over and over. 100 percent satisfied.
Jay N I hate my Lil Pony and even I liked it

Tbh, I even pondered on how it would work, but to my surprise, it did much better than that, it gave me a reason to want to view MLP as a serious competitor against PW. Now I just know, don't ever judge a book by its cover without viewing any content fully. It would of been unfortunate if I missed watching all of this series just because there are "Ponies" involved.
13:00 If anyone is wondering, this is relating to the first case ever in the Ace Attorney trilogy. Frank Sawhit claimed to have seen the thinker clock in the store, but it was specially made, like that golf club :)
The one thing that really stands out about this series to me is just the sheer accuracy of it all. I've seen projects that would just hastily smash the series together for the sake of a crossover, but the amount of love and effort I've seen put into this is quite staggering, and very warming. The characters felt... well, very natural, and true to their original concepts, even (and especially) the original ones. None of them felt particularly out of place, despite the nature of the beast. The voices were also very good, many coming quite close to the show, and Nick's just fit him so well. I really enjoyed Trixie's passive aggressive double speak, whoever had a hand in writing that did an excellent job. I know that in a project like this, there's no guarantee of a sequel, but I'll certainly be watching anxiously.
Couldn't have said it any better, I totally agree!
When Sonata confesses, Moonlight Sonata plays... Moonlight because of Luna's banishment and how the punishment for murder would have been banishment, and Sonata because of well, Sonata. It's actually really sad...
And then she goes and makes the analogy of the piano and how she was able to replicate Cruise Control's voice... It's all a little much
Dude... A sonata is a type of piano music.
Not to mention part of what got her caught was the moonlight reflecting off her glasses
This fan-made series is tenfold well narrated then entire Velma show.
Tho tbf thats not much of a feat LMFAO
@@seraphrakuro Still doesn't undermine how well told this story is.
@@DoctorTex oh absolutely, its fantastic
@@seraphrakuroAgreed. This series is still one of my all time favourites all these years after.
That’s an incredibly low bar, but agreed!
anyone get the feeling that Big Mac was making a subtle message to bronies and anti-bronies
+X_blade13 What about that was subtle, exactly?
Eeyup
Subtle as a knocking in the head, if you ask me. With a very big anvil.
Cody Hines 😂
@@JaelinBezel It could be applied to literally anything, that's what made it subtle
Holy Cow!!! This was amazing. It blended the natures, comedy, and emotion of both PW and MLP flawlessly, in my opinion. Here's hoping that a sequel will happen, if it hasn't happened already. :)
I've never played the Phoenix Wright before. But after watching this, I may want to give it a shot. :)
+DreamDragoness25
Same reason why I played Ace Attorney.
Doo iiitt! It's such a delightfully ridiculous series that really gets you thinking :)
+TheUltimate Youth14 I'm planning on playing phoniex wright too.
Glad you are!
You definitely should! This actually did inspire me to play the games, and they're all amazing.
"Because you're my friend Rainbow Dash!"
And with that line, the floodgates were released.
Oh shit, just came back here to relive a bit of nostalgia and listen to Towards The Truth (Total banger), but I just realized it's the 8 year anniversary of this video!
I know you'll never read this, but I just wanted to say thanks for making this series to everyone involved. I grew up with watching this over and over again back in late 2015 when I was 13. It's what first introduced me to Ace Attorney, a franchise I'm a huge fan of today! (Just finished playing the Chronicles and they are amazing). These 6 videos have so much ambition in them it's crazy. I mean, 8+ hours of an interesting fully voice acted case that does justice to characters from both series' and includes truly interesting and thrilling plot twists?! Heck, we've even got animated court cases! This series is insane!
Thank you so much for being the beginning of my spiral into the AA fandom, and for creating such an outstanding piece of MLP culture.
I imagine the blackmail photos being Rainbow Dash pretending to be Nyan Cat.
Jokes aside, this was an amazing story.
May both Friends push each-other to new and higher heights.
Hahahahaha! Ikr!
I don’t think Maya would react like that if that’s all they were. Maybe Edgey-Boy, but not Maya. She’d be into that kind of shit too. I’m too scared to know what those pictures are, especially considering Edgeworth called them a “disturbing fetish.” That is saying something coming from Edgeworth, who hangs around with Larry Butz and Kay Faraday, while being chased around by Wendy Oldbag.
@@youngbounty1394 When Trixie first showed the picture she said the results would be "shocking no pun intended". That likely has something to do with it.
@@mariophreak yea why dudnt they just burn those photos after the trial tho
Trixie uses the money to buy the Alicorn Amulet
+Gregory Maxwell
What is the Alicorn Amulet? Whatever that is, that's a huge twist.
*****
Yeah, I watched the clips of Twilight and Trixie making their duel.
and the infection spreads on and on...
What do you mean?
the fandom of course...
I feel so happy and sad by this ending when Phoenix had to leave, but maybe one day Phoenix will see them again, and if he does, it will be just as awesome as the events you showed here in this video. Well Done Sir, well done.
Versipellis the rogue Changeling can’t wait for pheonix to come back and twilight has wings and he’s just like “ WHAAAA?!?! Where did THOSE come from?!” And starlight would be there too lol. Maybe a real discord appearance too? And the cmc WITH their cutie marks?! Honestly there are so many interesting possibilities for the sequel of this series, especially regarding season 7. There are also multiple questions in THIS ACTUAL SERIES that have yet to be answered; what does Trixie REALLY have against twilight? What do black psyche-locks mean? How are Mia and princess celestia connected? There are so many things we still don’t know, even though the series has ended!
I recently learned about Elements of Justice, which is supposed to be a fanmade sequel to this, they currently have 2 previews up for the first episode
th-cam.com/video/Vg9Tvw0AScQ/w-d-xo.html
you know, phoenix could have just used the bits to buy gems and then sold them in his world.
Shit well there goes a dollar/bits to 100 or maybe thousands and possibly millions Phoenix why u miss this huge change
True it would be limited on how much he can carry but there still a better money chance he could have
+Jack1994hoo Or he could have sold the bits to a gold foundry. gold is nearly 5,000 dollars an ounce.
Benji Deaula oh I didn't know they were made of gold. then yeah.
+Jack1994hoo not to mention silver bits, they can sell pretty well
Here's what sets an Ace Attorney apart from a regular attorney. The pursuit bringing the truth to light as opposed to solely getting the verdict in your favor. You are after the latter, but the former is more important.
Just rewatched this for the first time in 7 years, honestly, this has no right to be as good as it is
When Sonata confessed to the crime, i was like " that can't be the end, there over an hour left to the video and then Phoenix objecting to a not guilty verdict was crazy, but thats why i love this series you never know whats going to happen next.
One of the best fan projects I've seen around. What a collaboration and such a great crossover.
Ngl that part at the end where Phoenix was proving the actual killer kind of made me forget I was watching a fan project.
Four eyes? Make that Five eyes xD
Uh... Anyone get that? The cutie mar- never mind.
Six yes, because the mark goes on both sides.
True, yes
OOOOOOH SNAAAP
No four, her own two eyes and one on each side. One large eye. Not two.
LoopyBunny53 It's a reference to glasses you derp.
"NO! IT MAY AS WELL BE PLAY MONEY!" XD
Another place that had me laughing too hard to breath
bucca2 that’s so shady tho celestia. The hell man. She totally could’ve converted them into real usd or whatever, yen. He asked about usd but he’s from japan so 🤷♀️ and ARENT THE BITS MADE OUT OF GOLD? He could totally sell that for real money in his world!!!!
@@grosebud4721 In the English-localized games Phoenix Wright is specified as living in Los Angeles, so it makes sense that he wants USD. But yeah, I was shaking my head at how Phoenix didn’t think to ask what materials the coins were made of, or to use the bits to buy valuables to trade for money with back home.
@@roryookane Uhhh I dont think the bits are made of real gold and silver.
Edgeworth: "This is why I work alone."
Oh, don't you worry. In a few years, you'll have your own energetic companion.
“This is why Superman works alone.”
This isn't my first time watching this, and it sure as heck isn't going to be the last.
Unlike a lot of fan works, I feel like it actually keeps the characters in character, for the most part, and it definitely has that same feeling of suspense you would find in the Ace Attorney games. The voice acting/audio quality, while not perfect, is passable. Not to mention how emotional the ending was.
The people who worked on this did a great job, and I have my fingers crossed for more.
"If anyone needs me I'll be in the bathtub..."
"With a toaster..." LMAOOO!!! XD
I can't believe I forgot about this. This is the reason I even got into Phoenix Wright and is still amazing, especially now knowing both source materials. Awesome work to everyone involved.
EMan753 Bathing with an appliance? What a weirdo.
I think he wants electrocuting himself
The sheer level of detail worked into this series really stood out to me. It added a great effect and really developed the series to become what it is now. I greatly appreciate the amount of work that has been put into this and dearly hope that the team continue to use their skill well.
Sonata really is one of the most interesting and intelligent "culprit" (by culprit, i don’t say she’s a killer but she still the one who "masterminding" this case by tampering the truth of the events to protect herself) i seen in Ace Attorney games or fanmade.
Even if Ace wasn’t killed by her, she still tricked everyone to cover her own tracks and made the case almost impossible to solve.
Her guilt was made by very small details like the fact Fluttershy didn’t see Applebloom passed by her cottage when she saw Sonata with the stick, the fact Gilda removed the body to frame Rainbow Dash for the "murder", the fact Applebloom and Sweetiebelle found the broken golf club on the lake, etc...
All those small variables which made Phœnix thinking that first Cruise Control killed Ace for revenge of the blackmailing and the fact he assaulted him and abandoned him in the forest (in some way, couldn’t it be considered as attempted murder ?) and lastly, with Fluttershy’s testimony, made Sonata be suspected of the crime.
When i first looked the story, i first thinking Sonata was the murderer and planted the blame on both Cruise Control and Rainbow Dash because unlike Sonata, they both had motives to murder him (even the other griffon, not Gilda, had a motive but she was a griffon, not a pegasus, she couldn’t have used the storm cloud to kill Ace) but when i saw the handle, the little twist like the Godot case changes everything and fatally proved Ace caused his own death by flying with it in his mouth when the storm strucked it and killed him instantly.
But yeah...karma is a bitch.
The turnabouts/twists in this trial are truly worthy of any of the Ace Attorney games. Epic.
I have no words to explain how much i love this. Thank you all for creating this
Am I the only one who laughs at Phoenix's jokes?............

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Its Over! Why do good things have to end?
This was truly amazing. The story, the voices, everything! I can only hope you guys make more things like this.
I just finished the main story of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. As soon as I heard the very last music before it says "END", I realized it was also the same music used at the very end of this series xD
I’ve played that game countless times. And that was years before I learned about MLP!
I knew this existed since becoming a brony like 5 years ago, and I had never watched it. But my Sister has been playing a bunch of Phoenix Wright which got me thinking about it a lot and I looked it up. Boy, am I glad I did! The writing is AMAZING! I literally was yelling OUT LOUD when the twist came that Phoenix wanted not just one name cleared, but two. Just shouting “NOOOO WAYYY NO WAY IS HE- I THINK I KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING NOOO FREAKING WAY”
It caught me that off guard and I was that hyped. Thus, this is really good Wrighting.
Also, whoever included Mystery Dungeon music for the final part is doing something Wright.
This whole thing is Wright
There’s no Trix to it
Every little thing’s
Gonna be alWright.
LucarianSpy Sir please none of those jokes were wright chief
I always comeback and watch this every now and again. Such a great project and wish there was a sequel to this. Brings back memories
This was absolutely amazing. Words can not describe how awesome this series is, with all of the little twists and turns, the cleverly-written metaphors and morals, the fact that almost every main and fan-loved character made an appearance (except Dr. Whooves), and the overall performance and production is incredible!
Encore! Encore!!! More please (I would LOVE to watch a sequel)!!!
But Dr. Whooves did have an appearance silently staring at the Judge because he stole his voice actor, he's also in the audience during courtroom scenes next to Applejack. xD
***** so it's pretty much keikoandgilly looking at himself. Lol's
The writer should become a lawyer
th-cam.com/video/Vg9Tvw0AScQ/w-d-xo.html
This series was amazing, great job! I can tell you put a lot of thought into the story for this, and the animations and voice acting were good enough to not be distracting. It almost makes me wish there were a Phoenix Wright movie.
URreadingmyaccname Ah, so there is. I'll have to look into that... (Edit: Aww, it's in Japanese. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the game is made in Japan, but still...)
Well, finally watched it.
It has been a long journey for you (2 whole years) and for me (seriously, it's probably the longest fan-made video series i've ever seen).
But it was worth it. I'm not english, but i didn't have problem following the story.
I think that the plot was perfect, every single detail was relevant and it was very well written and enacted. The feeling is the same as an ace attorney game and there are very good plot twists and explanations.
It took a lot of efforts and it shows it very clearly, i really want to thank everyone for the good time i spent watching it.
You even managed to fit the references to the fandom without forcing them and that's a very good thing!
It was funny, bright, clever and somehow a little sad (cruise is a very good oc, along with sonata).
The only thing i didn't like is that at the end you didn't explain trixie's true motivation, but after seeing wob niar in the end i think that we will get the answer in a sequel?
Then there's to explain why mia ended up in equestria...
well, despite this two unexplained thing, i really, really liked this project.
And i want to thank you all for giving me such a good time.
"She identified you perfectly under Luna's light!"
I just realized he said that.
Maya: (sees all 5 parts) HAH! So that's what happened! Edgeworth:... 0_0
lol
This series just reminds me how awesome this fandom is. Creating amazing arts of work like this and giving great meaning and heart warming messages. I've watched this series about 10 times and it never gets old. Congratulations on the amazing series. :)
This was such a great series and the ending with Maya, Edgeworth, and Pearls was... Hilarious!
Have you no shame!
I laughed a lot during this video, but I laughed so much there! Edge worth is my favorite character and seeing him in that position just, wow! Laughing now just remembering, I'm going to be irrationally happy all day now.
The animation at 22:00 is amazingly done
Wow. Just... wow... words cannot describe how impressed I was with this series. The story was very well executed and sounds like something that would really be in a Phoenix Wright game. The voice actors also did a really great job. And the ending, while I think it dragged on a bit, still made me actually feel for Sonata and Trixie. I think I can safely say that I think this is the best My Little Pony fan made work ever to be created. Side note: Of course Pinkie will be late to her funeral; I'm not planning on being alive during mine.
Just realized that Trixie used that money to buy that magical amulet in the show to beat Twilight. How else could she have gotten that money when she was forced to work on a rock-farm just to earn a living.
+jeramahia123 you just blew my mind
+jeramahia123 :O
+jeramahia123 OBJECTION!.....sorry, couldn't resist. Although that would have been spectacular to tie in with the canon of the series, they wouldn't have been so surprised to see her in that episode as they did, and Trixie told them that she went to go work on a rock farm right after she was denied all possibilities of earning a living after Twilight showed her up. This couldn't possibly be canon.
(Bear with me, just having fun here xD)
I waited for years to watch this and I regret watching it so long aftter it was complete, man this was amazing all the way through.
it was so accurate to MLP and phoenix wright adn such an amazing story.
Congratulations for making such a high quality story.
I remember when I first watched this series about 3 or 4 years ago. At the time I was a big fan of My Little Pony, and I knew nothing about Ace Attorney. I blindly clicked on the first part of this series expecting to see an episode of MLP, but what I found was something better than that. After watching the first part I went and watched the rest of the series, and I fell in love with. The writing is amazing, all of the characters fit in perfectly and you could just feel all of the effort put into it.
About a year after, I went and bought myself Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and It was all because of this video. After playing the first game, I immediatly wanted to play the rest of them. My love for the game skyrocketed. And well, here I am, still loving the fandom as I did a few years ago.
Thank you to the people that made this series. If it weren't for every single person that put their effort into these videos, I would have never been introduced to Phoenix Wright. I hope these videos live on till the end of time, they truely are something amazing.
This was intense to watch and I really enjoyed it. This video deserves a medal.
I spent the whole night watching this, and all I have to say is that it is the best 8 hours i have ever spent on youtube, or even just watching something, in my life.
I have returned form EoJ back to this once again
This was a masterpiece
It has so much detail yet it is unbelievably old the music, the designs, the animations
And through out the entire series it had very very nice runs ups and downs but the peak the highest point is between 1:29:00 and 1:30:00
This point is... simply jaw dropping astonishing and needs extreme amounts of praising
It is very good to see that Elements of Justice are in fact continuing this and I recommend everyone to see the continuation of this that being Elements of Justice
Final thoughts: this fan project simply has even out done some of the base AA games in the script and it might lack some animations and such however giving it the benefit of the doubt of it being this old
This is truly a masterpiece
P.s: the psycho locks some did not give an explanation yet there is a sequel so maybe... just maybe we will get some sort of comparison?
I know this has been out for quite a while, but I just watched this entire series today. I'm EXTREMELY glad I came across it. This was amazing. It really felt like I was watching Phoenix Wright and the ponies in a proper cross over. Their personalities were so well done. Such a good script and plot points. I wish this was an actual game. I'd definitely buy it. This is a cross over I didn't expect, but am super happy it was made. Great job. Thanks so much for making this.
You're far from being the only one who loved this fanwork.
I watched it 2 years ago with little knowledge about MLP in general (less than a week of experience with the show, world, characters and fandom) and having seen the first two games in the Ace Attorney series. I loved it so much, that I started to explore the pony world more, which in the end got me into the FiM fandom. In celebration of this event, I'm watching Turnabout Storm every year on August, 27th.
I promise you that your second or third watches will be just as enjoyable as the first one. Revisiting this series has made me appreciate the abundant references to MLP, AA and other things, and the subversive takes on many crucial elements of the source material, it really is masterful.
Such an amazing production. Top quality, to the point that I consider this canon. In point of fact, I literally can think of no other voice coming out of the judge when I play Phoenix Wright. That is the voice. The writing has also been amazing throughout, and concludes so perfectly it gives me goosebumps. I would even go so far as to say that this production rivals the best of the canon storylines of both source materials.
The only thing that would be more awesome is if Hasbro and Capcom considered this canon.
Mario Peterson ...No.Just no.I would spam Capcom with e-mails questioning their sanity.A bit of an exaggaration,but I think this would be a horrible idea,money-wise and for the sake of the Ace Attorney series.
So I rewatched this to see if It held up after years of not watching it and to my wonderful surprise it was better then I remembered! This is so well done! Whoever you are I hope you have a successful career!
Did anyone catch trixie giving the gift to him in the credits!?
THAT SUPRISED ME SOOO MUCH
Thanks! I wouldn't have seen it without you!
Sonata's tail whip thing she does when she's angry is actually kind of intimidating.

I agree.
i want to get off mrs zecora's wild ride
Jesse Fortner ohhh ;)
Uh..... Does anyone have any towels...? I think I read romance a little too much...
This was quite the trial to see! I'm very delighted that Mr. Wright has the tact to find the truth. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I'd condemned one of those adorable ponies to banishment!
Im really glad I came back and watched this again after so many years, it holds so many sentimental feelings. I remember being about 12 or 13 waiting in anticipation for this particular part to come out. I even had a little countdown calendar and everything.
I'm really sad that this is over, I was pretty astonished when I found that this wasn't some shitty fanfic, and was actually a respectful and well made feature that somehow managed to emulate the feel of the games perfectly, I felt the same stupefied/smug/thrilled slack-jawed outburst of glee every time Phoenix or Trixie made anything of the evidence or turned the events, which is something only the Ace Attorney games have ever made me feel.
You somehow managed to pay perfect homage to two amazing universes simultaneously while still creating your own enthralling story, and in a fairly large quantity on top of the quality. It was all intelligently done other than a couple of stupid jokes, and as I said, I was enthralled from start to finish.
I highly doubt any work of fanfiction/other fan works for years to come will match this even closely. I can't even think of any official works that outclass this off of the top of my head. You deserve all the attention and respect you get for this, and IMO FAR more than you've gotten so far.
I doubt this will ever happen again, but if it did, I would be dying to see it.
Not sure if I dislike or like this comment...
Darian Stephens What about it would lead you to dislike it?
Think I have an objection here.
I had a big comment here about how claiming that this is the best of the best is rather prestigious, but of course I accidentally closed the google+ box thingy, so the gist of it was this: Saying that your work is the best and that nothing is or ever will be on par with or better than it will mostly bring about hate and harsh critique.
Darian Stephens well,he is right,i dont think anything i seen in my life can trump this story and its feelz
What kind of feels did you get from this?
A friend of mine introduced me to this series just last week, and it still holds up so well. Wonderful work, and thank you for all the immense time and effort it must have taken to craft something so intricate, beautiful, and heartfelt.
Wait until you watch the continuation of this series: Ace Attorney Elements of Justice; they're just in the middle of case two.
2:28:50 Awww~ It's Trucy's hat!
That's probably how Trucy got her hat in the first place!

pkmnTrainerGold0 the amazing Mr. Hat is from Equestria O.O
Wow where to start. I guess the first thing is I can say is that it was absolutely amazing. The writing, the music, the suspense, and the emotional feels. Seriously, give the writers and voice actors a huge pat on the back for what they managed to do here, you guys are amazing. Animators too. The whole team actually.
The Moonlight Sonata piece you stuck in there just made my heart skip a beat because not only do I love that song, but it just struck so perfectly in that moment with Sonata. I also think it took a HUGE turn in this and really just made me rethink everything.
All in all, I will subscribe to your channel and hope you continue making amazing projects like this in the future. Not only did you manage to write a better story than I see on some TV shows today, you also managed to grip my emotions more than a lot of other things I can say have tried and failed.
I hope you guys get more recognition for your amazing talent and work, this whole thing was nothing short of absolutely amazing.
Yeah, this case was just Turnabout Samurai and Turnabout Trump combined. But this one, without murderer. But hey, nice work. But how about those psyche lock in Celestia? Yeah, still need more. Sonata is AWESOME!
who won??
+CupcakeHeart I mean who is the one that was the murderer?
At the 3/4 Twilight part at the end when initial 3 locks of cruise were broken and twilight asks if he killed Ace there are 5 new more locks around him. I hoped that we'll get an answer to it.
Forget it. It was hen Twilight asked Cruise about why he attacked Phoenix. But that was solved without him.
Indeed, we know the secret about Cruise Control's Psyche-Lock.
But we can deduce the secret about Celestia's Psyche-Lock, they appear when Phoenix ask about how she know all those details about him.
The is answer is PROBABLY that Celestia is able to "speak to the dead via spirit channeling", that also explain what happen at 2:31:28 where Celestia is probably speaking to Mia Fay, and Mia Fay is probably the one who tell Celestia all those details about Phoenix. ^^
Re watching this series DID NOT disappoint. It is still a very good story. Makes me appreciate the series more after all these years.
