1	''Phoenix Wright Abridged'' was an AbridgedSeries of the ''Anime/AceAttorney2016'' anime created by [=PowerMadOtaku=] and Isolationist.

3	It follows the egotistical and loudmouthed defense attorney Phoenix Wright as he fights in court to get his innocent clients acquitted and find out who the real culprit is so he can [[CruelAndUnusualDeath send them to the sun.]]
4
5	No further episodes were produced after episode 4 as the creator focused on other projects while the 5th episode spent years in limbo. In 2021, Isolationist announced that the series was officially cancelled and that he left the AbridgedSeries community. [=PowerMadOtaku=] followed suit the following year to rebrand himself as an animation channel called [=PowerPlagueDotORG=], citing burnout among other personal issues. Although originally spun as an AprilFools joke, he clarified the next day that his announcement was serious.

7	The original episodes were deleted, but they were compiled into one video by Isolationist [[https://youtu.be/3Ppo941ZmMc here]].

9	Not to be confused with ''WebVideo/AceAttorneyAbridged'' which is an abridged series of the video game.
10	----
11	!!This work provides examples of:
12	* AndTheAdventureContinues: The end of episode 4 retroactively becomes this as episode 5 spent years in limbo before the series was cancelled. Maya and Phoenix are acquitted of murder, Redd White is incinerated ([[JustForFun/IThoughtThatWas not incarcerated]]) for his crimes, and Maya joins Phoenix's law firm as the two go off to wreak more havoc together.
13	* AGodAmI: Parodied. Phoenix started his own religion around himself just so he can feed his own ego. Some people actually bought into it.
14	* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Untwisted and then subverted. Phoenix is happy about [[spoiler: Mia's death]] at first... until Phoenix realizes that [[spoiler:Mia never gave him his paycheck.]]
15	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Phoenix is an [[AGodAmI insane]], [[NoIndoorVoice constantly shouting]] [[IdiotHero idiot]] [[DisproportionateRetribution who shoves ladybugs down people's pants regularly]] and sends the people he convicts to the sun, but manages to win his first case in under a minute, and has given Miles Edgeworth a hard time the first time they meet.
16	** Phoenix was smart enough to [[spoiler: ''tape record'' Redd White's murder confession and uses it to convict him in court.]]
17	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Maya's not upset that [[spoiler:her sister Mia is dead]], she's upset that she lied about taking her out for burgers.
18	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite being a complete idiot, Phoenix manages to not only disprove Frank Sahwit's testimony but also manages to solve the case using only the evidence on hand all under a minute.
19	* CutShort: The series ends abruptly after the "Turnabout Sisters" arc as the creator retired from doing parody videos.
20	* TheDitz: Maya. In addition to being a wannabe gangster, [[AttentionDeficitOhShiny she is easily distracted if]] [[TrademarkFavoriteFood burgers are involved.]]
21	* IdiotHero: Exaggerated with Phoenix, who is even more of an idiot than in the games.
22	* JustToyingWithThem: Phoenix actually [[spoiler: tape recorded Redd White's murder confession]], but withholds that piece of evidence until the end just to [[spoiler: drag out the trial to toy with Edgeworth]], because [[ItAmusedMe he thought it was funny.]]
23	* NoIndoorVoice: Phoenix, who is always shouting, no matter where he is or what the situation is.
24	* OnlySaneMan: Mia Fey. She's the only person who pretty much understands who [[AGodAmI Phoe]][[{{Jerkass}} nix]] is. She even warns Maya ''not'' to hire Phoenix. Unfortunately, Maya's TheDitz and she hires Phoenix.
25	** Miles Edgeworth, poor Edgeworth.
26	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Maya. [[TooDumbToLive She even performs assault with a deadly weapon in the middle of a courtroom when April May performs testimony that pisses her off.]]
27	* ShoutOut: A few references are made to LetsPlay/NicoB, specifically his running gags of the judge's love of turkey sandwiches and Maya's obsession over yaoi. Also, [[WebVideo/AceAttorneyAbridged Maya's middle name is Gilligan.]]
28	** Furthermore, it might only be a [[ContrivedCoincidence coincidence]], but Phoenix [[WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm sends the culprits into the Sun]].
29	* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Phoenix Wright in this adaptation.
30	* YaoiFangirl: Maya.
