Alright I feel like my problem with the Eustace Winner name (Sebastian my boy I'm so sorry) is that he's a really major character with depth and development.
From the start AA has had really stupid pun names and I loved them. April May, Redd White? I thought those were the best when I was playing ace attorney for the first time.
But characters who were actually important -- Phoenix, Maya, Edgeworth, von Karma, I could be wrong but their names aren't as stupid of puns as Redd White or my beloved Detective Detective Detective (love you gumshoe). I mean, Wright is literally just a play on right, but it's not a phrase, like I feel Eustace Winner (Useless Winner?) Is supposed to be. And Phoenix is a reference to his nature, how he "rises from the ashes", it's about his general overall character and doesn't feel like a mean joke. To me, naming Sebastian Eustace Winner is like if Edgeworth was named Meenin Evil so you know he's a bad guy when you meet him.
Poor Sebastian though, he has a LOT that happens (I never finished aai2 actually but I want to give him a hug and a mug of hot chocolate), hes a very important character, and it feels like they gave him a side character name? When he has a lot more importance to the story than just one case

started playing Apollo Justice the other day, as i've always really enjoyed ace attorney but i have yet to actually experience apollo's games at all (i know vague spoilers, given fanfic, but not specifics) and oh BOY
so first off: i Love Apollo. like i knew that he was gonna be the new protagonist and i was anticipating lowkey hating him because he's not phoenix but like. this man. he's so cute. his first trial and 90% of his dialogue is just him talking about his Chords of Steel™ (side note i now understand why so many people headcanon him as trans. he is so queer-coded)
second: phoenix is. so fuckin mysterious?? he lies and bluffs and explains exactly nothing to apollo at all. like he just basically takes over the trial and pulls shit out of his ass and playing apollo just feels like im a spectator to this whole thing (im hoping apollo actually gets a chance to shine later? i love phoenix and all but like. man please let apollo try)
thinking about it though, it does make sense?? like a ton of phoenix's dialogue in the early games is him talking in his head about shit, and outwardly he does come off as semi-competent. like apollo's pov is what people actually view phoenix as, and so his reputation makes so much more sense
anyway ive only completed the starter trial and ive just started the second so ill probably have more to add later

*feeding the obsession* what exactly is hypmic anyway?
oh lord
sorry if this is bad synopsis i'm bad at writing thoughts out and sleepyy (<- fell asleep in the middle of writing this last night)
it's a multimedia project and the main story is told through drama tracks but there's a manga adaptation, anime, rhythm game with insane non canon side stories, and a stage play!!
So after wwiii killed like 1/5 of the world, a political party made up of all women took over the japanese government, established an all female district, and banned all weapons except for hypnosis microphones. The microphones can like attack people's nervous systems via lyrics. They also start up the division rap battles where teams of rappers from each of the divisions fight for supremacy over the others.
There's 6 division groups made of 3 members each and they're all insane in their own unique ways!! The divisions are:
Buster Bros!!! -> Ikebukuro Division
MAD TRIGGER CREW -> Yokohama Division
Fling Posse -> Shibuya Division
Matenro -> Shinjuku Division (the one hifumi is in ^^)
after the first division rap battle 2 more divisions were added:
Dotsuitare Hompo -> Osaka Division
Bad Ass Temple -> Nagoya Division
Lots of them have like history with each other ranging from brothers, ex group members (lots of those), childhood friends, parent/ child, ex manzai partners, uhh weird homeless guy that one of them dragged back to his campsite and feeds occasionally?
The characters are kinda all over the place and I adore it!! I saw a review of the anime that said 'we’re watching working professionals stuck in the rap circuit.' and yea,, there's a bunch of adult men with mostly normal jobs (couple teenagers too). But yea let's throw a doctor, lawyer, author, ex- soldier, monk, teacher, fashion designer, vkei musician, salaryman, yakuza, comedian, whatever it is that ichiro does, conman, host, corrupt cop, and gambler (not a job) at each other and make them rap and just see what happens 乁[ ◕ ᴥ ◕ ]ㄏ
The story is kinda insane but i love when a story makes me feel like i'm going crazy! i find it a little corny sometimes but i'm having lots of fun with it!!
currently they're releasing eps for each group with solo songs and a drama track on them leading up to the 3rd division rap battle!!!
these men are doing something to my brain and i can't fucking stop it
women my beloved,,,
