I FINALLY GOT A PERSONAL SCANNER!! I’ve gotten a good amount of manga since the last time I uploaded raws, so look forward to that.
Also, I’m starting to collect stuff for Megaten, including anthology manga that I plan to scan. I’ll announce this on the main account later, but for this purpose, I’ve created @turnaboutcompendium.
I might have been the one to buy both of these.
look forward to an archival in September :3
Already bought the JP limited edition of AAI1+2! It looks pretty worth it for ~$65USD, especially compared to the AA456 limited edition, which cost ¥3000(~$20USD) more and had its main extra be literal pieces of paper.
I’ll probably do a comparison to the original AAI1+2 limited editions and their contents as I own both. Also, the CD will be ripped and have its art scanned in HD!
I plan to do a merch shelf tour sometime late August after I have it all set up again. Expect a pretty long video for that as I probably have 200+ individual pieces lol
The reason I specify non-acrylic is because I do have a decent amount of acrylic merch, but it’s hard to scan it with a scanner as it comes out blurry, so I’m going to have to figure out an alternative method. Feel free to reach out if you have one!
I might have gotten all of the sitting stands, lol.
I have to find a good way to get acrylic stand art captured as using a scanner comes out blurred, but I have them.
AA456 Special box- HQ scan
PNG version here!
Does anyone know who the artist is?
The artist is Takuro Fuse, who was also responsible for the character designs in Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice!
DGS2 limited edition unboxing
This was absolutely wild to be able to get. I might make more videos, mostly things like in-depth looks at some of the stuff I own.
Apparently the AA456 drama CD is so new that EAC’s metadata providers don’t know what it is and identified it as a Bible CD.
AA456 Limited edition obtained!
It will be a bit before I have scans and stuff, but in the mean time, I filmed an unboxing and review of it. tl;dw: I’m pretty disappointed with the quality, especially for the price it’s going for.
I also got the DGS2 limited edition and will be filming that unboxing as well!
I’ve been informed that the version with no game is back in stock now, and that price is roughly $40USD. Still on the upper end of AA limited editions, but more reasonable than what resellers are charging and it’s easy to have a proxy special order from another site. At that point it’s a bit more of a toss-up.

I’ll probably do an Ace Attorney limited edition tier list in January when I have basically all the ones I care about owning. They’re overall a pretty mixed bag in content but they’re mostly pretty cheap, with only a few outliers like the DGS2 limited edition($200+ usually) and the AA1-6 box($100+ usually).
Ace Attorney artbook tier list
Now that I own every single main AA artbook that I can find, I thought I’d rank them in a tier list and give extremely honest reviews on what they’re like in case you want to pick one up. Both average price and content are taken into consideration when ranking. Rankings within tiers are also done in a particular order.
SS: The ones that are relatively cheap(easy to find below $15USD) but still bangers in terms of content.
GS5 Official Visual Book: EXTREMELY detailed in terms of content. You get to see a lot of art for things outside of just characters, like promo art that never made it to being for the final game!
GS4 Guidebook: Don’t let the name deceive you, this is half concept art. It’s also very easy to find for a great price and gives you a lot of character concept art to go through.
S: Great content, but might be a bit more on the pricey side, especially if you’re impatient.
GS6 Official Visual Book: If this was only on content, this would be #1 overall. My actual golden standard for artbooks is this one. Insane detail on everything you could think of and beyond, as well as great insight within the commentary. DGS1+2 Artbooks: Cheaper if you get them both, which keeps them in S. Not as detailed as the SoJ artbook but still gives a lot of character concept art to enjoy as well as art that never made it into the game or any promotional works. Also, they still have things such as images of the backdrops.
A: Still solid in terms of content, but on the pricey side.
AAI Official Investigation Guide: Have a lot of good concept art and detailed images of every sprite, including some sketches that never made it into full art. Also includes content outside of character art such as backgrounds. However, you’re looking at $100+ if you’re not patient. I wound up paying ~$50 for my copy but I got it through an auction.
B: Expensive and either lack in content or are niche.
Gyakuten Taizen: This isn’t really focused on concept art and is more to display a timeline of every Ace Attorney case. It’s neat in that regard, but note that it lacks DGS2 as it predates that game and you’ll be hard pressed to find one below $120. Mine was around $136.
The Art of Gyakuten Saiban Box Set: Extremely lacking in concept art, mostly just showing sprites. If you want AA4 concept art, get the guidebook. Also, I didn’t mention this for the other artbooks, but they all have paper jackets that can be removed and put back on so you can break the spine while reading and then cover it up. These books do not have these. You can’t fully spread anything out unless you want it to look ugly on a shelf. They’re also usually at least $60, but you can find the set for less if you look. I got mine for $30 because of minor cosmetic damage.
I managed to score a copy of the DGS2 limited edition! This was one I was genuinely never expecting to get because it’s usually $200+ but I managed to get it for around $85. There is one AA limited edition that I know I’m missing(the switch dual pack) but since it’s just the games and not really obscure art like the 1-6 box I don’t care that much.
Hey guess who just bought ANOTHER Ace Attorney special edition?
One of the things I can never translate but does happen is that Gumshoe has a VERY noticeable dialect in Japanese, specifically with him saying ッス instead of です. There are some other examples of his dialect that don’t translate, like アンタ instead of あなた, but that’s the most common. It’s not big enough to warrant a t/n, but thought it was interesting to mention as officially localized AA doesn’t even elude to it.
“Get a load of this guy.”
