Wizard Barristers - Benmashi Cecil

[Kraco]

First episode was great, second episode was as Arch said in fewer words, a bit underwhelming. I did expect a bit more court drama, not a "Cecil: I know that you don't respect me at all, but allow me to call my surprise witness that will end the case! Judge: Okay."

Would much rather have had him say no, she's not following procedure. I've played nearly all the Phoenix Wright games, I know how this is supposed to play out! But that was kinda out the window when they said they have to have Cecil win her first case.

but the court is biased toward condemning wizards based on circumstantial evidence. Cecil herself got fined twice in this episode, and she was clearly defending herself or non-wizards companions.

I think these two facts explain each other. It's more like a military court of swift "justice" than a real court of mundane matters. So, instead of halting that particular session to review the new evidence in peace and then continuing the next day or something, the judge wants to solve everything at one sitting.
