<p><em>Turnabout Goodbyes 3rd Trial<&sol;em> is the tenth episode of the <em>Ace Attorney<&sol;em> anime adaption series and sadly there is not much improvement from the first nine&period; Last episode left us with Phoenix and Maya trying to gain insight into the truth behind the murder of Robert Hammond&period; Miles Edgeworth was accused of murdering Hammond by being found with a gun and in a boat on the lake of the crime scene&period;  Hammond was the attorney responsible for helping Miles&&num;8217&semi; father&&num;8217&semi;s suspected murder go free&period; Although Phoenix&comma; with the support of Maya&comma; proved in court that Miles is innocent&comma; Miles is still not released&period; It appears that the mystery of the DL-6 Incident which involves Mr&period; Edgeworth&&num;8217&semi;s death&comma; that occurred several years before the story&&num;8217&semi;s time frame&comma; will be solved soon&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;115465" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-115465" style&equals;"width&colon;

despite the mystery developing into a more complex puzzle&comma; the silence from Miles is almost unbearable&period; It is also an irksome downfall of this entire <em>Turnabout Goodbyes<&sol;em> story arc&period; He is merely accepting whatever outcome the court decides and has nothing to say in his own defense&period; When looking at this episode as a stand-alone piece&comma; it gives the impression that Miles would rather accept a guilty verdict that is false than fight for the truth and be declared innocent&period;

Yet his feelings and emotions are completely barren from this ordeal&period; As each episode passes I keep hoping that the character&&num;8217&semi;s own thoughts will be revealed but it seems that the anime writers decided to keep things simple by only following the game&&num;8217&semi;s exact story&period; The game franchise is making a decent anime adaptation but it seems to be relying upon the game series too much&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s a missed opportunity for the <em>Ace Attorney<&sol;em> story to have the characters and story explored much deeper&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Follow along with this review series by watching <em>Ace Attorney<&sol;em> through <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;crunchyroll&period;com&sol;ace-attorney"><strong>Crunchyroll<&sol;strong><&sol;a>&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
