This kind of bullshit is the reason why I don't watch anime.

Yep, because all anime is like that. There are no realistic shows with no bullshit. Zero.

It's a video game.

I have to admit that it's a big part of why I don't play JRPGs anymore, aside from Atlus games.

It's a game, jackass.

... out of all the ridiculous things in this series, that's the one you're choosing to complain about?

Is this your first Ace Attorney? Franziska became a prosecutor at 13. Edgeworth at 20. Why are you even playing these games if you can't stand things like this?

Most of the young ones though 'went to Europe and got educated there'. Because we're all child prodigies over here so we all qualify really young.

This. I love the Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney games but they are patently absurd and don't make any pretenses of being anything but.

Also a game where an 8 year old turned into a babe with big boobs repeatedly.

What makes this different from your examples is that Watson is a preexisting character. Takumi did not invent Watson; Watson is a well-liked character with an already-existing fanbase. I imagine some are annoyed with the changes that are being made because it basically seems like an OC with a medical degree with the name "Watson" attached that follows Sherlock around. It doesn't resemble the character fans are used to at all.

That being said, I'm optimistic for the game. Although I'm not a fan of this "interpretation" of Watson, I like the fact that Sherlock is in it, since that might make Capcom more inclined to localize it. Also, the Ace Attorney series has a pretty good track record when it comes to female characters, so I'm looking forward to see what Takumi does with this.

Don't forget about Athena!

Yes, and the fact they were both SO young - especially Franziska - was supposed to be extraordinary. Klavier was a rockstar and a lawyer at 17, Athena got her badge at 18... even though the series is full of ridiculously young lawyers, all of them were considered to be remarkable. We also had Pearl, who was an incredibly giften spirit medium at age nine.

But a eight year old with a medical degree and author to a series of novels... it's kinda pushing it, even by AA standards. Which is saying a lot. I'm curious to see what they'll do with this character, but I'd be lying if I said I have high hopes.

Wait wait wait Ace Attorney? As in the video games for the DS? Yes? No? Did I miss something? New game?

New game set in the Meiji era with Sherlock Holmes and loli Watson. C:

But my burning question is... what did the BBC Sherlock fandom think of this? Considering how they flipped the hell out over 'Elementary' and all, I'm legitimately curious.

Not sure what the rest of the fandom thinks but I for one am eagerly awaiting fanart of John in steampunk loli!Watson's outfit.

Mostly, they don't even know it exists so they couldn't care less. Also, different situations: the Elementary thing is meant to be taken seriously as a valid reinterpretation of the ACD characters, something tells me that the AA game...not so much.

Yeah the child prodigy thing is getting a bit ridiculous right here. I'm also not fond of the design.

I'd like to have some more older women in the main characters of AA but eh.

Kind of stretches the universe a bit, but I'm more than happy to watch people get their knickers in a knot over it.

People just love to rage over anything, don't they? I don't care, I'm still excited for this iteration of Ace Attorney, and I'm even looking forward to meeting Watson and Holmes. Fuck the haters.

I just want to see how they end up fitting MURRICA into the game for the translation. ~~THERE BETTER BE ONE~~
