Unexpectedly for a game-based film, the casting of Hiroki Narimiya as Phoenix Wright (Naruhodō Ryūichi) in the upcoming movie adaptation of Capcom’s Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban) series has been meeting with widespread approval online.
Almost unheard of for a game to movie adaptation, the online reaction is almost uniformly positive:
“No objection!”
“He looks just the part…”
“No objection, unexpectedly.”
“This verdict is quite the reverse!”
“I’ll watch it!”
“It won’t be this close, surely.”
“Ob-No objection!”
“I expect they can get someone to match the judge as well.”
“They really put some effort in then.”
The film is due to hit Japanese cinemas on February 11th, 2012.

His hair is awesome.
FALCON HAIR!!!
Kazuya Mishima
Its wolverine! With the horn hair at the back!
The movie will be pure win if we see some boots to the head.
My hair is Phoenix Wright. Your case is invalid.
NOT GUILTY!
You are doing it wrong. You are supposed to prove that the witness is guilty, not that your client is innocent.
wut da heil!!

What is that chart on the page? One part looks blank.
yup, it's the "terror" score
He looks like a villain.
What 07:33 said. It looks like an appraisal of "how right they got it". :D
I am estimating the nuance rather than doing literal translation here... apologies...
Clockwise from top:
怖 Scare factor (none)
ファンタジー Ridiculousness (high)
難解度 Difficult to pull off (low)
コメディー Funny factor (high)
再現度 Attention to detail (high)
感動 Emotional (medium)
The question I have is, is this an appraisal of the image/wardrobe, or are they guessing at what the film overall will be like?
what shld i say to the barber if i want a haircutlike that ?
He looks too old.
That looks on the mark, Phoenix Wright's actor selection was done surprisingly...
Right.
Incoming US remake starring Leonardo DiCaprio, lol.
but the real news is that takshi miike is making it. meaning this film already = gold
omg, this looks awesome. It will probably be the best game movie ever.
Hikari Mitsushima as my girlfriend?
NO OBJECTION!
this is probably the few game-adaptations i approve of.
since, all you need is a great plot and a guy who can pull off phoenix's hair!
hope to see edgeworth though, NO OBJECTIONS!
That haircut in real life would be pretty ridiculous
It would be so wrong it's Wright. ;)
I'm going to watch this.
I loved him in Gokusen! Apparently Takumi Saito is going to portray edgey/Mitsurugi Reiji.
Now who's playing Edgeworth...?
I'm skeptical of every video game adaptation.
I'd watch this, but im just curious which case will it be on... Will we have an indecisive bald judge? Time will tell
I don't see this movie being good, miike is at his best when he's just trying to be as weird as possible, like in gozu or the bird people in china.
No objections indeed! :)
dat hair
How hard is it to look the part? They may have casted well but i bet the movie will still suck
CAST IN THE NAME OF WRIGHT, YE NOT GUILTY.
But come on. Phoenix Wright? Edgeworth Miles? they both sound like EUROPEAN names. I would only accept everything if the setting was an England with pseudo-japanese influences as if the two island nations merged into one! Filmed on location of course.
Even if you'd probably find a white guy with the real hair line, its not a shame to know that japan always commission character designs that imply that their characters are half Japanese half Caucasian, a lot of times. With ff 12 they wanted Ashe to be french but later the designer added Japanese like eyes and stated tht it would be better to have her be half french physiology and half Japanese.
He looks ok, but he seems to fit the role
I have fan girls now. No objection!
So looking forward to seeing that!
Never though that hairdo was possible, inconceivable in real life!
Why is he standing on the prosecution side?
I heard this actor will also voice Phoenix Wright in that Proffessor Layton crossover game.
Finally, a good wholesome Japanese video production that I don't have to ban!
Don't get to excited you stubborn old man. You're just saying that because it dosen't have Loli for you to ban. So keep your comments to yourself.
he looks like a fucking parrot.
The voice becomes real.
Must be a bitch to wash axle grease out of your hair.
call that guy from machinima NOW!!!!!!!!!hes the real Phoenix Wright
When are we gonna get a Phoenix Wright here in america starring Jim Carrey/Shia LeBouf Vs. Jason Marsden/Robert Pattinson as Miles Edgeworth?
This looks god tior!
Doesn't look right to me especially the hair!
And the face is all wrong!
But it generally looks like it. So whatever.
Uhm....he's Japanese? His name isn't even Phoenix Wright on that side of the world. He's got the general look and attitude down, and that's something.
