Hey everyone! So I remember making an official trailer for EoJ years ago, and I think we all can agree that it's severely outdated. So with the help of the EoJ team, we were able to create a revamped version of the trailer!
I feel that this trailer shows how much the series has grown since it's humble beginnings, not just in terms of the quality, but also how much the MLP and AA communities has grown to support this simple crossover! I just wanna say thank you all for being a part of this journey whether you have been around since the beginning to becoming a fan now! Here's to the future!
Special thanks especially to YDGeon, MLPMVGuy, and Soundman for putting this amazing trailer together!
For those of you who are new to this series, let me explain what this simple series is about.
This story will take place between Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice (Ace Attorney), and between Season 4 and Season 5 (MLP).
The premise of the story: 9 years after being summoned to Equestria, Phoenix Wright, along with Athena Cykes, Apollo Justice, and Trucy Wright, have been summoned to Equestria again. Twilight Sparkle, now an alicorn with the title, Princess of Friendship, was the one who summoned them, because murder is happening in Equestria again. Phoenix and his friends will join Twilight and her friends as they defend the innocent ponies who were framed, and try to solve the mystery of why more and more murders have been occurring in the land of Equestria. Could it be a coincidence, or is there a dark entity looming around these murders?

The episode got corrupted around 22:17 and as a result, some dialogue was lost. We are unsure if reuploading would fix the issue as it happened on YouTube's end. As such please find the missing lines here:
FAIR DEVOTION: The sound of fighting is what drove me into hiding as I got close. ATHENA: I see... And for clarification's sake, what time did the two of you arrive? _______________________
Hello everyone! So... It's been a while, huh? But don't worry, we've been hard at work, and we hope it paid off! In this episode, we're back in the courtroom and ready here to find the truth!
That's right! Be ready to cross-examine the witnesses and find the contradictions! The team and I made MORE improvements to the visuals (we sleep, sometimes!) We hope you enjoy the new changes we made, it's all for your viewing pleasure.
But enough from me! Get ready for an exciting new trial, surely there will be tons of exciting revelations! ... ...Surely? Probably? Hopefully?
There may be exciting revelations. Guess you'll just have to watch to find out. 😏

I wanna say a quick thing here. During the summer, I lost a very loved cousin of mine, and it was a very hard time during the summer. So I just wanted to give a little memoir down here. Here's what I wrote for him in the note during his funeral: "Jeremy,
If I had to choose who is the strongest person in the family, it would be you.
Time and time again, you would overcome everything and do whatever you could to live your life, despite your limitations.
Even on your final month, you SURVIVED.
But God had plans for you on your final day.
I hope you have an awesome time in Heaven, and say Hi to Tatang for me!"
To anyone who made it this far, please let your loved ones know that you care, as they could be gone the next day.

Before you continue reading, a big thank you for all the support last episode. We've been slightly preoccupied making the main series, so apologies for the delay. It hopefully won't happen again!
But today's episode, what is it about? Well we thought that since everypony else gets the spotlight all the time, the Royal Guard should also have their moment. After all some of you adore our guard ponies...one in particular.
Let's find out what their thoughts are about the case. Make sure to stay tuned for further episodes from the BoJ team. We've got plenty more coming 😉
Guard #2 hadn't shown up yet and YouTube already got scared. What bad luck for us!

Hi everyone! It's time for the second half of the second investigation! The team and I worked even HARDER on this episode than the last one, and it will be VERY apparent when you watch it! We're continuing to learn how we could work more efficiently while also upping the quality! Which admittedly made us go through some hurdles... and some pain and suffering.
But we survived! And I wouldn't have made it through without them!

Mr G here! We saw how you enjoyed the first BoJ, so I decided to sacrifice my sleep and health to get another episode out! But I could not do it alone – so that is why we hired some PR Writers and they’ve been super stellar in getting these ideas together. Not to mention Jarvy Jared as Planning Lead and all the other amazing people who worked on this episode (READ THE CREDITS PEOPLE!)
Fun Fact: This episode was the initial test script that we tasked the writers to work on. As you can see, the combined efforts of all their creativity come together to form, what I would say at least, is one of the most emotional episodes since…BoJ 1!
If you enjoyed this, then guess what – there is more planned and ready to be produced! If you didn’t, don’t worry, we will have a Guard #2 episode and a TP x Scoots episode. Well, only if you share this episode ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Special thanks to Serenity for the initial outline for this episode!

Yes, it's an April Fools thing, but we at least wanted to have some fun! And this is the first time an April Fools joke was on April Fools Day! HISTORIC!
But it's not all jokes, there's ACTUAL news at the very end, which tells that there's something releasing officially on April 16! So get hype!
Shoutouts to Pretty-Pegasus-Wings, Julius Gem, and Soundman for putting this together!
We got a new episode in under THREE months!!? Man this episode was totally not the hardest episode to make since...2-3....
Wow we need a break... which we are going to take...for maybe a month x3.
I gotta say! This episode, much like 2-3, had it's own hurdles we all had to go through. But we still pulled through! We were getting new team members at the same time while working on this, and we got an early glimpse on how much they can help with future episodes! We even managed to get this in before January ended, so I'd say we did a good job (I think)!
Thanks everyone for continuing your support for EoJ! We've been continuing to grow not only as a team, but also in the amount of views, subs, and even our own community, thanks to the EoJ Discord fan server (which you should join btw)!
And now I shall shut up! Please enjoy the next episode of Case 2! And I may have a hunch that people will like this particular episode :)

Welcome to the first of hopefully many episodes of a side series to Elements of Justice called...
Bonds of Justice!
What this series will aim to do, is develop our characters as well as the interactions they have within the EoJ universe. This is an extra look into the background and mindset of what happens outside of the main series!
For the first episode, we figure out, how has Coco been handling herself after the events of Case 1?
Special thanks to Pretty-Pegasus-Wings for making this on a whim one day, and breaking all of our hearts!
I gotta admit, there were A LOT of ups and downs during the production of this episode, but you know what, we pulled through, and we are finally ready to show you the first day of trial for Case 2!
We had to do stuff in the background to get new team members, and there were a LOT of changes in the team itself! If we're gonna make more episodes in a more consistent matter, we had to switch things up in terms of every aspect of the team! That being said, we hope that this will lead to higher quality AND faster uploads in the future!
Well, I shouldn't waste any of more of your time, you have another episode to watch! I hope you all enjoy the third episode of Case 2!

I am joined by The Joker, MV, Serenity, and Soundman! And Julius a little later! Also, this is going to be our longest DC yet, so get a bunch of popcorn ready!
Special thanks to Soundman for editing this! SOUNDMAN'S DISCLAIMER: "The audio is unmastered to save time and effort on the main series. You'll also hear TheAljavis's voice slowing down in the first hour and Pat's voice slowing down in the last two. Plus there are three different cases where the audio cuts out altogether for ten seconds, which is probably the Discord bot trying to make sure everybody is synced over such a long time."

Woo! Didn't think we'd get the other part so soon, huh?! Well DON'T GET USED TO IT YOU FREELOADERS! CRUNCHING FOR MAKING A DEADLINE WAS A BIG MISTAKE!
But anyways, we're happy that we're able to get the second part of the investigation very soon after the first part! The reason we were able to get the other part out so quickly is because the investigation was originally going to be one episode, but because of it's length, we had to split it into two. In fact, expect every investigation and trial sections to be treated this way. With that being said, the first trial for Case 2 will take a good while, so go ahead and theorize while we work!
That being said, I hope you all enjoy the second episode of Case 2!
Here we go guys! After five months of blood, sweat, and mostly tears being poured, we have finally reached Case 2 of Elements of Justice!
Our team has gotten even bigger, with more voice actors, artists, and just a bunch of awesome people! Our team has also improved on our craft, so you will see a significant upgrade to the overall (concept) quality of the whole production compared to Case 1, and we are very proud of how far we've come!
Case 2 is going to make Case 1 look like a walk in the park, so I hope all of you are excited for the higher stakes! And between you and me, if you are a fan of My Little Investigations, I think you'll love this Case in particular. :)
So let's not waste any more time, and it's time for us to present the start of Case 2! I hope you all will enjoy!

We are very excited to announce that Case 2 of EOJ is almost here! We hope that you are all as excited as we are to finally release this case!
As the trailer shows, we will be releasing the first episode of Case 2 in May, so get hype!
Special thanks to The Soundman for creating this awesome trailer!
Hello everyone! This video was long overdue, dating back to September when we recorded this! But here's the second Watch Party for EoJ! Where there's even more hilarity and bullshit!
Also from this point on, there will be no pausing when we record for Watch Parties, as these episodes are loooooong. The pausing will be saved for the Director's Commentaries.
Also, we figured this would be a good time to release it while we work on Case 2 :)
Merry Christmas everyone! In celebration of Case 1 finishing, we wanna show off some bloopers and flubs the VAs have sent when they were voicing their lines.
We plan to make blooper reels every time we finish a case, so stay tuned for more!
Shoutouts to The Joker and Jerboe for editing these bloopers for maximum degeneracy!
OH MY GOODNESS! WE DID IT! WE HAVE FINISHED CASE 1! I'm so happy we were able to finish this before 2020 ends!
So as you can see, this didn't take NEARLY as long to make as Eps 1 and 2. But HOLY HELL, the production for this episode was just an absolute CLUSTERFLABBLEGASTER! But you know what, the fact that Case 1 is actually finished, it kinda makes all the pain worth it.
BIG SHOUTOUTS to the new editors added to the team for GREATLY helping us get the whole thing together at a much faster rate!
The EoJ team is just a blast to be around, and I cannot wait to have the team be even bigger!
Now assuming you watched the ENTIRE EPISODE, I can already tell you're excited for what we have in store for the rest of the series! And just letting you know, Case 2 is MILES (Edgeworth) better than Case 1 ever was, EVEN with the rewrite! So yeah, expect better things in the future!
With that said, yes, we will need MORE VAs and more team members for EoJ! We will post an update video on this in the near future to explain the details.
Now I bring you all, THE FINALE TO TURNABOUT THEATRE! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY!
Oh, and also, shoutouts to Henke37 as our tech support!

We managed to make another episode of Elements of Justice! After years of frustration for making the first episode, I've swallowed my pride and decided to get help from other people to help work on the rest of the series. Bringing this team together and getting to know them has been a blast!
This episode actually could've potentially been finished sooner, but after heated debate from my writers, specifically Serenity, we decided that we were going to rewrite Case 1's trial. While it was a bummer at the time that it would mean taking longer to get the next episode out, the rewrite was at a MUCH higher quality than the original script's. So I think you guys will appreciate the extra time to work on this!
Honestly, the transition from working on EoJ by myself to having an entire team was very bumpy, but I think over time we will get find our own synergy, and possibly get to a point where we could finish a case or two! So to the team of EoJ, thank you guys so much for helping me! And thank all of you for sticking with me with this series!
Hope you guys enjoy this episode of Elements of Justice!

Hello everyone! Here is another video to commemorate the first episode's year anniversary! In contrast to the Director's Commentary, this will be a more fun and casual approach, where me and many other members of the EoJ team talk about the episode as it plays out! So expect lots of swears, jokes, roasting, and all-out fun times in this video!
And like I've said in the end of this vid, we plan on doing a Watch Party for all future episode premieres!
Have fun watching! And don't worry, Ep 2 is coming real soon!

But in all seriousness, we are still working hard on the second episode. We've gotten almost all of the lines in, the animations are being worked on, and the backgrounds are being made. We still aim before the anniversary of the first episode, so please be a little more patient with us!Elements of Justice ~ Turnabout Theatre (Case 1) [Ep 1 - Investigation]Ace Attorney: Elements of Justice2019-06-05 | CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS APPRECIATED
After years of frustration, self-doubt, delays, and an undying passion, I finally give you the first episode of Elements of Justice! Just letting you guys know, this takes place after Dual destinies and before Spirit of Justice in Ace Attorney, and after Season 4 and before Season 5 of MLP.
Making this fanmade sequel to one of my favorite MLP fanseries, Turnabout Storm, was definitely an adventure for me, and I've learned many things about myself. If I TRULY wanted something to happen, I will stop at nothing to make it happen.
For those of you who don't know, around the end of 2016, my hard drive completely fried, and I lost all files and assets to not just EoJ, but everything all the way back to high school. And to add salt to the wound, I was almost done with EoJ at the time. I learned the hard way to have a back up hard drive. Luckily, I was able to get most of the VA lines I have saved from emails to continue working on it. Unfortunately the one who I couldn't get the lines back was TheGoldCrow, who was the voice of Phoenix in Turnabout Storm, and was Phoenix again in this project. We both knew he would take too long to revoice the lines, due to personal issues, so I had to drop him from the role. Luckily I opened auditions for Phoenix, and picked Julius Gem, who has been very cooperative and so friendly to work with. Along with a new Phoenix VA, I had to remake a lot of the assets to work on EoJ again, which took way too long to work on due to family and school taking most of my time.
After 2 years of hardly making any process, I've decided at 2019, if I don't finish the first episode by the end of 2019, I'm quitting the series. All of a sudden, this fire unleashed in me, and making incredible process. I was barely done the first 2 scenes to finishing the whole video in a few months. I guess at that point, I knew in my heart I truly wanted this series to happen.
The hard drive being fried was also kind of a blessing in disguise. The assets I made back then looks like trash compared to what I can do now, so ultimately, this video is much more polished and visually appealing than what I originally did.
I'm sure most of you are asking, "WHY DONT YOU GET HELP?!" Mainly because I'm too afraid to ask for help. When I started working on EoJ, I just saw myself as some nobody in the fandom. I'm no big name at all, so I just assumed that I won't get any help in the first place. But with the amount of support and quality I was able to produce, people took notice, and now I realize that if I had gotten help a long time ago, then this series would've been way ahead in the story. You know the episode when Applejack wanted to take care of the entire apple orchard by herself, and refused for help? That's exactly me with EoJ. This is a hard lesson learned for me. I'm definitely going to ask for help a little after this video is out.
With all of these struggles I've went through and you guys painfully waiting, I pray to Celestia that your wait and mine for this episode to finish will be worth it.
With all that said, please enjoy the first of hopefully many episodes of Elements of Justice!

*Here's the link to the document for the lines so you can audition http://sta.sh/01je6a1rkiig Hello everyone! What you are watching is the teaser trailer for a new series in the works! This is the unofficial sequel to Turnabout Storm, called Elements of Justice!
Taking place after Season 4 of MLP and Dual Destinies of AA, Phoenix is returning to Equestria to take on more cases. Unlike Turnabout Storm, there will be 5 cases in this series. Each case will be more difficult than the last, to help make this series feel like how it would be if it was structured like the Phoenix Wright games.
UPDATE 3/28/14 All voice actors have been chosen. Thank you to everyone who auditioned!
