The First Turnabout (1-1) - 4.8 (21 votes)

1-1 almost gets the exact middle, which seems appropriate. It was praised for being a pretty clean tutorial case and a solid way to get someone prepared for the rest of AA.

There was discussion about how to rate these. I decided to keep it open-ended. I'll continue to vote relative to the AA series. Since LS rated on two different criteria, I counted their 7/10 vote since they seem to prefer absolute voting over relative voting.

My rating: 4.5/10. It's Takumi's first designed AA case and it shows. It has really lofty ambitions, but the execution is lacking. This might be the most simple murder in the series. Mia's death is a shocker and all the mainstays are introduced well. I used to really dislike Mia's takedown of White for partially being easily solvable (the receipt) and also not solvable at all (the list of names), but I have really grown to appreciate it. I see it as more of Phoenix's arc. In the beginning, he's still a novice and is unable to pin the crime down. By the end, he doesn't even need help and is instead mentoring others.
