We already knew that Takumi said that the Ace Attorney anime was originally scheduled for a half-year run, as he mentioned that just before the series started. While we don't know if the series met expectations in terms of viewership for YTV and Capcom, but we do now know that the Ace Attorney anime will not be extended at any rate after the current cour (presumably late September), as
Time Bokan 24 is now confirmed to take over the time slot in October. So no Trials & Tribulations for the mokent.
Whether Ace Attorney will return in the future is not known yet. It would depend on whether the show did well enough for YTV. Kindaichi R also took a season break on the same slot, but that show was definitely popular enough for that (and it had synergy with Conan, that starts at 18:00). In terms of viewership, it did consequently worse than the series that ran before it on the same time slot, but I have no idea whether that's good enough for YTV or not. Sales of the home release might help, though in general, it's of lesser importance for that particular time slot (the succes stories of anime getting new seasons because of sales are usually about late-night anime, not super-popular daytime slots).
(And another note: huh, they're doing another Time Bokan X Detective Conan hour? That's what they did back in 2009/2010, with the Yatterman/Conan hour... I bet it's producer Suwacchi's idea again)
