Sebastian’s Philosophy Essay | Ace Attorney @arcticflakes Animatic

[@tainebot0123]

I added this to the video description but I'm also going to pin this comment since idk how many people read the descriptions: It's been like 3 months since I uploaded this video and only now did I remember to add this - this video takes heavy inspiration from another animatic, currently titled "Aster's Academic Presentation", which I have linked in the description. I didn't think too much of it at the time (since my channel was and still is quite small, and I really didn't expect so many people to see this video), but it doesn't sit right with me that it goes unnoticed since this is currently the most popular video on my channel and the original has only about 200 views at the time of writing. I always like to credit my inspiration, so I hope this edit brings more attention to the video that was my main source of inspiration! I think it's great!

[@tainebot0123]

And while I'm glad people like this video... I just feel it's very... derivative. I'm trying to be a bit more original with my newer animatics, but I just feel uncomfortable with myself when people like my videos without knowing just how much other people's work influenced them, hence why I want to make these credits as clear as possible.

[@gossamergreen2787]

this is the most canon non-canon thing ever. how does the perchance shitpost essay fit the two of them so flawlessly like this

[@crescent_sun482]

Sebby would never say fuck tbh But other than that...

[@tainebot0123]

​@@crescent_sun482 My hc is the strongest swear Sebby knows is Hell - we can probably thank Judge Courtney or Blaise Deworste for that one (I would mess with the audio make it so but my editing skills leave a lot to be desired ;-; )

[@crescent_sun482]

​@@tainebot0123 I completely agree with that, and imo he learned it from Blaise, who probably cussed at him quite frequently (and with stronger words than "hell" tbh but Sebby is too pure to say anything stronger)

[@kinokomuffin]

Because yes Sebastian makes the phrases worse and worse

[@silverspire567]

God the Mario essay ALWAYS gets me

[@jazzebee]

But why is it so in character?? 😭😭 these are the kinds of essays his father bribed his teachers to give him gold stars for. now edgeworth gets to hit him with the honest grade lmao. he's trying and i'm very proud :)

[@namelesslang5909]

Sebastian was promptly punished for this essay by having his name forcibly changed to Eustace.

[@gavout1511]

He is trying his hardest. His point on Mario simply buying lives shows his growth in philosophical thinking. Everything else shows just how far he has to go.

[@adzukibean2190]

I like the little detail of Sebastian, having a scar on his cheek as a signifier that he hits himself there often

[@NyanNegotiable]

Sebastian saying that Dr. Pepper doesn’t exist while holding a can of said mythical Dr. Pepper kills me every time

[@quaelgeist333]

To be fair, the qoute was about a non existent doctor pepper. The doctor called pepper.

[@ella_cupcake]

This fits Sebastian shockingly well

[@heavenswheel502]

1:01 I love Edgeworth's look of cautious optimism. Like he's sort of onto something but he knows he probably won't maintain his footing

[@jouxlskaard]

he has begun cooking… but he will probably soon set the kitchen aflame

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

He's cooking, but he's like that guy who dropes a handful of frozen fries into a pan full of oil and it basically explodes

Tysm!!! And thank you for making the og version - it's so rare to see Debeste content on KZbin that I immediately thought "Oh, I have got to draw this..." ❤

[@sacredeight]

This is why Blaise had to fix his records

[@tainebot0123]

Idk if it was said in canon whether Stacey's overconfidence came about before or after the grade fixing started, but the idea that the crispy bastard took one look at this paper and decided his kid was a lost cause is depressingly funny.

[@MinorLife10]

Upon hearing this essay, I can precisely pinpoint the moment I lost my marbles. 0:42 is the time. Also, cool artwork!

[@Tobeebuzz]

This is so adorable! Sebastian is one of my favorite characters and this is definitely fitting for him, I love your art style ❤

[@55alegria]

The quality of this animatic makes it so much better

[@Jestererratic]

Love the fact that your design for Sebastian hit himself so many times with his stick that he has a scar there

[@questionmarkquestionmarkques]

imagine being the teacher and having to give this essay an A because blaise bribed them

This is amazing! Found the audio not that long ago, so happy you made an animatic for it! :D Love the dynamic Edgeworth and Sebastian have )

[@plant7371]

It hurts me so badly to know his official, canon name is "Eustace Winner" now. Sebastian Debeste makes so much more sense, it feels like the official one is the fanmade one...

[@tainebot0123]

The one thing that made Eustace Win me over is that it's an attempt to translate a very clever pun in the Japanese name, Yumihiko Ichiyanagi - "Yumihiko" is a rich kid name and "Ichiyanagi" can be read as "Ichiryū" or "first-class", but putting them together gives "Ichiyanagi Yumihiko" which sounds incredibly similar to "ichiya naki yumi wo hiku" ("pulling a bow without an arrow" - that's where we got Sebastian from, since he's the patron saint of archers). So it sounds all fancy at a glance, but upon closer inspection it really just alludes to this adorable weirdo's logic being almost entirely useless. Sebastian Debeste is an awesome name that I hate to lose... but it was unfortunately too cool for our fluffy headed nepo baby.

[@kittyjuneo2218]

I. Um… Sorry, I followed exactly 15% of that. Those are definitely all words, and most of it has to do with Mario, and Koopas. That’s all I got. Seems in character for him though, based on what everyone else is saying. Keep trying Sebby! Also Edgeworth going “Okay..” like he’s hoping for a good turn around (or about) with this, then his hopes go out the window.

[@pauloltman4960]

ok so genuine question, how many people here actually like the investigations games and don't just like the sprite work and character designs? cause I'm going to level with you, while I do like the wandering around and reading through the inane dialogue, and the sprite work, I actually hate all of the meat and potatoes gameplay I think its the worst in the franchise and most of my grievances with investigations one and two are mostly powered by all of the stuff that is in some of the mainline games but its all of it, the nothing characters (sorry kay faraday fans) or the characters that just get in the way of you solving the cases(Justine Courtney and all of the antagonist's reasons for why they are NOT murderers), the frankly mind-bending "logic" with some of the puzzles that boil down to "here are two things that connect, don't do them in the wrong order or we'll fuck you over", the shitty plots that the antagonists use that frankly would not work at all, you can like the games if you want, I'm just some joe Schmoe voicing my thoughts, but like... its a tough videogame to enjoy, also Ray Shields is.... YIKES!

[@pauloltman4960]

also there are some things that I kinda like about investigations, I do like Sebastian's growth as a character from, second rate lackey working under a human obstacle to an aspiring prosecutor with an abusive and unsupportive father who is so obviously evil that its kind of hilarious!

[@tainebot0123]

Personally I enjoy AAI2 for a variety of reasons (I highly relate to Seb/Stacey's story, I2-5 is my favorite final case in the franchise, I like the hands-on aspect of solving the mystery at the crime scene as opposed to in court, and seeing Miles suffer is hilarious), but that's because I've experienced it so many times it's not even funny, and I have to admit it's really not for everyone. Heck, the reason I got into I2 was from watching the Miles Is A Robot series in my second or third year of highschool, and they REALLY didn't like the game but I adored it anyway, so I think it just boils down to what kind of plot stupidity you can tolerate in ace attorney.

[@pauloltman4960]

@@tainebot0123 oh yeah like, my dislike of the investigations games were there ever since I played them on my D.S and then years later I bought the 3D games and loved them to death, the disdain did get amplified but it wasn't as focused until I also watched Jello's Miles is a robot series, and that's when it all clicked, also I do really love that series and all the other stuff that Jello_apocalypse and Co do!

[@pauloltman4960]

@@tainebot0123 also, I agree whole heartedly with those who are like "yeah its not a good duology of AA games but I can enjoy it in a schlocky way" but there's always those fans who are like "HOLY SHIT THIS GAME IS BRILLLIANT AND NO ONE SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT IT OR I'LL SHIT!!"
