This movie is based on the second and fourth cases in the popular video game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
The plot follows Phoenix Wright, a novice lawyer, who faces off against expert prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who had a perfect win record.
He defends Maya Fey, the sister of his deceased sister, Mia Fey.
The court system of the time dictates that the trial can only convene for a total of three days before a verdict must be reached.
In the second case, Miles is charged with murder, and it is up to Phoenix to defend him against the best prosecutor of all time, as well as Miles' mentor, Manfred Von Karma, who has not lost a case in forty years! In order to resolve this case, Phoenix must look beyond the drama of the court room and search for clues left by Mia on a 15 years old case, the DL-6.

Because it's boring as shit, Larry doesn't appear again in AA1, and neither do any of the other characters except Phoenix, Udgey and a dead Mia.I don't get why they don't include case 1. It takes like 5 minutes to complete and introduces all of the main characters.
From what I remember, there are plans to release this internationally. Not too sure when but likely to be in spring 2013. Not too sure if Eng subs are included in the Japanese DVD/BD (though I'd say it's unlikely) but I am not too keen on risking over $70 bucks despite the (not exactly very) tempting premium.I would very much like to own a physical copy of this, preferably on Blu-Ray. Is this ever coming stateside? Does its original release contain English subs at least?

lolI just kinda doubletook when I learned Takashi Miike was behind this.
13 Assassins was a great movie but I don't see this being good. Mainly because it's Ace Attorney. And I hate Ace Attorney.
