Putting it Delicately (Ace Attorney Animation)[Paula Peroff]

[@Mornal]

You're not crazy if you think you've seen this before! This animation is the better part of a year old, and has been officially posted on other social media for that same length of time, as well as unofficially posted to KZbin. Paula and I recently decided to use my channel for the KZbin mirrors of our collaborative projects, so some unofficial reuploads of her content have been removed. This is the official spot. :)

Arguing like an old...pair of friends.

[@novacorponline]

It's a delicate balance to strike. Real life conversations involve people cutting each other off all the time; by accident or not, so characters speaking over reach other makes it feel more realistic. But then you have some animations where characters are constantly talking over each other and it ends up sounding poorly scripted rather than authentic.

[@Rolaran]

My headcanon is that Edgeworth understands that saying it bluntly would be insensitive, but being raised by von Karma means he has no clue what tact actually looks like, so he just kinda says it as obliquely as he can and hopes for the best

[@junkoenoshima2756]

I headcannon on top of that the reason he knows saying it bluntly is bad because he was told "your dad was shot by a man we don't know and nobody was punished for it" and after that Manfred later took him to Germany so I headcannon that he also would know german

[@EduardoPerez-py8dx]

This. Like, it's fun remembering that he was raised by Karma when analyzing some of his behaviors

[@skyhai3689]

He's trying to be so considerate but he's just so socially unaware and awkward

[@magicdog9523]

@@junkoenoshima2756 Manfred taking him to Germany is neither stated nor implied anywhere in canon, and AAI2 appears to rule out the possibility entirely. In fact, nowhere in the game dialogue is it even said that he was *raised* by von Karma (though the anime depicts this as having been the case).

[@whyle5318]

[@IrvinCascade]

I mean, this is very fitting when you get into the later games, like Dual Destinies, where there's a point that Edgeworth just knit-picks literally EVERY detail of Wright's argument to the point where Phoenix outright yells out "Why do you ALWAYS have to POINT OUT EVERY FLAW?!" If Phoenix is always knit-picking Edgeworth, it makes sense that he'd do the same.

[@kylestanley7843]

I guess he decided to take a leaf out of Wright's book after witnessing his excessive successes. Turns out, Nick-picking is very effective ;)

[@TheOverlordPepper]

Can’t forget my favorite interaction in there, being “Don’t tell me your eye for art is failing you, too, Edgeworth.” “You’re the last person in the world who should be criticizing my aesthetic sense!” “Now, now he is simply watching out for your ocular health. Please proceed Mr. Wright.” [Insert random spoilers] “Hmph. Is that the theory your pitiful sense of aesthetics helped you come up with?” “(Edgeworth… Just let it go, man.)”

[@DarkShadows713]

Not to nitpick, but the word is nitpick, referring to the painstaking process of removing nits, or louse egg sacs, from hair. They are tiny and easy to miss, but just one nit left unpicked can cause a resurgence of lice. It has naught to do with knitting.

[@sambradley9091]

For some reason, the idea of Edgeworth losing his cool and saying "Wright, shut the fuck up" is pretty dang great.

[@crescent_sun482]

It feels like something he would do Considering he was raised by Karma, and attempting to be posh only to get irritated and tell someone to "shut the fuck up" (but prolly in German) also sounds like something Karma would do

[@jaybethell1898]

Jeez phoenix! Edgeworth was just trying to lighten up the mood.

He failed miserably, but he was still trying.

[@flavoredchin]

I love when people give Edgeworth an American accent that just sounds super posh, rather than a British accent. Also, I keep forgetting that you voice both of them! They're super distinct!

[@AnimatedTerror]

I mean doesn’t this all take place in America? I mean America as seen through the eyes of a crazy Japanese man but America nonetheless. Them having no distinct accent makes sense in universe.

[@REVORETO]

@@AnimatedTerror the original seting of the trilogy was in japan, but the localization team made it in the us in the english versions.

[@kirin1230]

@@AnimatedTerror Western fans have coined the world Japanafornia. And in the English localisation, since Von Karma is German, Edgeworth having a European accent does make sense. I love this version's voice though.

[@MerlinTheCommenter]

I see what you mean. IMO, I like it and prefer it this way. A true Brit accent would actually take a lot of people out of the game. When I have hard time understanding an accent due to local dialects and slang, I'm no longer immersed. Immersion doesn't always mean the most genuine accent.

I mean he literally says she's dead as bluntly as possible in the line immediately preceding this one And the "metabolic processes are a matter of interest only to historians" was a response to Phoenix effectively saying "What do you mean, dead?", presumably with deep sardonicism

[@KirbyLinkACW]

I thought this, too. Like, the music stopped when he said "Dahlia Hawthorne is dead." I didn't even remember this line, yet they're playing it like it's how he first broke the news.

@Miguel CChaach It’s the latter.

[@shadowz2959]

@Miguel CChaach Not a letter, the latter. Meaning the last thing you said, fandom shipping issues.

[@strranger]

But it’s also not the latter? It has to be the former at this point have you SEEN in-game interactions and the official merchandise? Dude if there’s one thing both of them aren’t, it’s straight

[@strranger]

@Miguel CChaach I never said that Capcom would make it canon, because it would give them a ton of backlash. It would be a very risky move. It’s just the things in game that make it at least somewhat canon. Phoenix changed his CAREER to go find this man. Law school is a hellhole. It’s also not fandom shipping issues, as their relationship isn’t crazy toxic or weird. They have known each other for years and clearly have trust in each other. The wedding rings that were Phoenix and Edgeworth themed just sealed the deal for me. As well as some of the official art. I respect your opinion if you don’t ship them.

The fact that, apparently, this was a line in the original game makes me think SOMEONE on the Phoenix Wright dev team was a Monty Python fan. She's a stiff, bereft of life, she rests in peace, if she wasn't murdered she'd be pushing up the daises. She's off the twig, she's kicked the bucket, she's shuffled off the mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible. This is an ex-person!
