After a two-cour run that kicked off in the spring 2016 season, we learned back in March that Ace Attorney has a second series is coming. The show is scheduled for a fall 2018 debut in Japan with the main cast and staff coming back for it and now some additional details have landed. The show has a new key visual and it was confirmed for an October 6th, 2018 debut as it takes over My Hero Academia‘s timeslot.

Plot concept: Ace Attorney follows rookie lawyer Naruhodo Ryuuichi (Phoenix Wright) and his assistant Mayoi (Maya) as he defends his clients in a court of law. With limited evidence and logic as his only weapon, can Naruhodo turn the case around when all the odds are stacked against him?
