Another GyakuSai pic February 15, 2009

Here is another Gyakuten Saiban pic I accidentally found while browsing through the net.

Gyakuten Saiban Not Game

Gyakuten Saiban Not Game

From left: Lotta, Phoenix, Edgeworth, Gumshoe, Larry Butz and Maya.

Of this lot, I liked Larry the most, because the resemblance is good. I didn’t recognize Lotta at all. I thought it was a director or something. It was Dards who told me it was Lotta.

Phoenix looks like a tomboy, Miles too girly. Gumshoe? What happened to Gumshoe? I know his salary is only peanuts and he can only eat instant ramen all the time — but this is ridiculous! He is too thin, too short — and that coat is oversized.

Great Maya costume. Too bad the makeup artist was a little heavy-handed with the blush and she ended up with clown cheeks! Unless that was the intention in the first place. See, there’s MAC 187 for putting on blush. It would’ve been useful in this case :)

They should make a Jdorama instead! Starring my own cast!

I kinda…don’t like this. Makes me want to shout a big IGIARI to whoever did the makeup and all…Dards is very particular about the hand she is pointing with, the color of the hair, the shape of the brows, hehe. As for me…I don’t know. Finikusu Raito?? Mairusu Ejjiwaasu?? No way.

Anyway, I really should try to finish the 3rd installment, Trials and Tribulations. But other DS games are ‘getting in the way’, haha. Lately, I am spending hours again on Sudoku.

Phoenix Wright musical?? September 24, 2008

I didn’t know how to feel when I read about it in Tokyograph:

The all-female Takarazuka Revue is doing its first production based on a video game. The subject is Capcom’s popular “Gyakuten Saiban” series, also known as “Ace Attorney.” Tomu Ranju of the Cosmos Troupe is playing the protagonist, using the character’s English name Phoenix Wright instead of the Japanese name Ryuichi Naruhodo.

Set in the United States, the show will be a musical, incorporating songs from the games. Performances will run from February 5 to 15 in Takurazuka, Hyogo, then from February 24 to March 2 in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Article from Tokyograph. See the discussions at Japinoy.com

 

Somehow, I can’t imagine how a female can transform completely (and believably) into Phoenix Wright. And — gasp! Miles Edgeworth!! Do I hear an ‘OBJECTION!’ somewhere?? I knew (through Dardsie’s regular Gyakuten Saiban updates on Japinoy) that there are a lot of plans to bring GS from just being a game to more conventional media like anime/manga. But I never realized they are planning a musical, of all things!

 

I don’t know much about Takazaruka, only that they are quite good. I do hope they bring justice (for all, hehe) to the title ^_^
