Nice. While most seem to agree that 4-1 promises more than it delivers, most also believed that that's not really 4-1's fault and rated it highly.

Summary:

Apollo kicks off his career boldly by defending the only son of a well known gangster family, Wocky Kitaki. But you can't solve a crime without panties.

Main Characters: Apollo Justice, Trucy Wright, Phoenix Wright, Ema Skye, Klavier Gavin, The Judge
Other Characters: Alita Tiala, Director Hickfield, Guy Eldoon, Plum Kitaki, Wocky Kitaki, Winfred Kitaki, Pal Meraktis, Wesley Stickler

My rating: 1.5/10. Day 1 is a contender for worst day in the series. Even outside of panties, it's just a lot of meandering and the Mr. Hat stunt to buy time is...really awful and feels like a mean-spirited parody of the things the Defense does to buy time in the OT. Wocky is always in contention for worst defendant (or at least, least helpful defendant) in the series. It's telling that Wocky is probably not even the bottom 3 worst things in the case. I do think Day 2 does a lot to turn this around. The murder is interesting, Meraktis is one of the more interesting one-case victims, and Eldoon's turn is really nice. Alita is a nothing culprit, though.
