THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

Anime layers. They're visual novel murder mysteries in which a defense attorney (usually Phoenix Wright) goes through 4-5 cases in a game, and in each case a client has to be proven innocent of murder against unlikely odds. That also involves going up against a prosecutor, with each game featuring a different one that acts as some sort of foil/rival/antagonist to the main character. There's a colorful cast of characters with lots of humor and emotional content, and also spirit mediums are a thing!

The series consists of the original trilogy (starring Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey), the latter three games (which shift around the protagonists), two prosecutor-based spin-off games, a Professor Layton crossover game and two spin-off games set in old school Japan that might never get localized. The original trilogy is actually getting rereleased for a number of platforms next month!

From a Dangan Ronpa perspective, it does have similarities in consisting of investigation and trial phases in which the player collects evidence and uses it to contradict others' testimonies. But Ace Attorney has the gameplay in its simplest form - without minigames and time limits. In terms of story, it's relatively more light-hearted, too - there's still murders and sadness, but most of the games' main casts have plot armor keeping them from being the victims (with one notable exception very early in the series). I probably got a bit too tl;dr there but I hope that's a satisfactory explanation!
