What are your opinions on Wonder Egg Priority? Through my confidential sources, it seems like you gave it a 7/10. I personally gave it a 9/10, so I am curious about what informed your decision. Are you looking forward to the special episode and do you think it might impact your final opinion on the show? --- Prince Anon
Prince anon I want you to know you are enabling to rant and make an essay on anime and theres no turning back from it so brace yourself to my very high connoisseur anime review based on absolutely nothing other than the fact I like watching 2D animation SKSKSKS.
I see your sources are correct with that MyAnimeList knowledge (best platform 10/10 my favorite social media 😌) and I did give it a 7. To be fair I tend to be a bit harsh on my ratings so its basically anything below 6 a meh, 7 are okay but they had some problems for me and anything 8 and up I would read the manga of (mostly). So I will just leave my thots below the thingy in case anyone reading this wants to avoid spoilers or is sensitive to opinions brrr
Wonder Egg Priority was like a rollercoaster of an anime for me. I watched the first episode and I honestly thought about dropping it because the CGI monster thingies looked off in my opinion and I just thought it was a metaphorical bs that went beyond my realms of thinking. I kept watching however and when the other girls were introduced I began seeing the appeal to the series and actually kind of understanding the symbolisms more with the backstories.
I specially want to highlight Momoe and Rika, I really enjoyed their arcs and I thought the way they treated their individual struggles and backstories was very well fleshed out and it made me understand their characters further.
I think my problems arrises when the whole Frill and android whatever narrative was introduced and it left me with a really sour taste. Honestly, and this may just be me being picky and ehhh about it, I thought it was a cope out and kind of defeated the whole premise build up in the episodes before. Like, if they were trying to sell me a sci-fi 'this girl is controlling these other girls into committing suicide through mass manipulation' story plot with hints from the beginning I would have been okay and taken it with an x doubt but nonetheless taken it. But I feel like throughout the story the whole narrative had been of understanding each of these victims and their stories with actual reasons as to why they come to the feeling of wanting to end their life and to me the "It was just an android!!!" felt very diminishing and brushing everything else off for a shock factor.
Agian, I feel like the story is a solid one, but I felt like each episode was trying to look into more hidden representations in the symbolism of the hidden worlds of depth that sometimes it just lost its touch and disconnected the message I thought they were going for in the beginning. I feel like watching Wonder Egg I came to watch two completely different shows at the same time where one had this emotional message about life and what these girls went through and the other parallel narrative where it was just robots go brr and fancy laboratories experiment brrr and it did not tie down in the end how I hoped it did and lacked direction in my opinion.
And also the fact Frill sold into the idea that the girls were easy to manipulate and lead them to suicide just kind of ended rubbing me off in the wrong way. I know they were probably not going for that but nonetheless it stuck out to me a bit and eeehh.
The whole teacher narrative with Ai also seemed extremely fleshed out in a way I personally thought didn't fit the timing and every episode with Ai we took a step forward to take later on two steps back and in the end it just became kind of an exposition into this metaphorical take on their relationship that maybe I was too dumb to understand but I just thought of as unecessary.
But then again, I am rambling at this point and I am sorry you had to read all that because I have thoughts and I like screaming them sometimes ASDFGHJK I hope it made some sense I am bad at typing sksks
Do I think that the special episode could up it for me? I honestly doubt that and depending on the ending I may rate it a 7 too but I hope it surprises me maybe with a twist and it can be an 8? MayhaPSss
But yeah no, this felt overly negative but as I said, the series had some positives; the visuals (apart from that weird CGI they used at times that threw me off) are absolutely stunning, the soundtrack as well and Rika and Momoe my beloveds their individual eps being probs my favorites from the series ^^ But yes!!! I talk a lot!!! SKSKKSKS Give me your thoughts on it Prince anon ✨
