Pretty interesting story concept, although the story (and setting in a sense) remind me a lot of the show Flip Flappers.

I was very interested through the episode and the visuals are also pretty cool, it doesn't mind twisting the viewpoint of the viewer a little bit to get a little creative.

All in all, really good first episode!

The visual looks very good and the animation as expect from Cloverworks.
The story seems very interesting
The music is also great. (Waiting for OP/ED)
This could have been better original anime than Kamisama ni Natta Hi last season(already better for now tbh).

5/5
Holo no Graffiti is the best anime of all time... peko

That was an absolutely gorgeous episode.

The eerie beginning with a kid in a yellow hoodie, who's in the middle of the street all by themselves... I should've known it would turn at least a little brutal.

Really looking forward to seeing how this all goes.

Holy shit, this episode was great! I had no idea what this show was until I saw the episode discussion trending on r/Anime (I know that sub is kinda trash, but it's where I keep up with anime news and stuff), and I'm glad I gave it a chance.

This story seems really interesting and engaging, and I love how this episode doesn't give out any unnecessary exposition dumps or long ass monologues to the audience like some anime do.

The one thing that impressed me the most, however, is the animation. The character movements are so smooth and satisfying. The character designs also reminded of Kyoto Animation a little bit, which is definitely great.

This is shaping up to be the best anime of the season, Attack On Titan and Re:Zero can eat ass!

I really liked this, the blend between the mystery and the realistic feeling drama paired with the butifull animation is perfect is perfect for me.

The only thing I am afraid of is if it starts feeling repetitive or don't know what it wants to do later on because I barely an idea about what might happen in the next episode. But I really hope it will keep expanding this world because it's all so fasenaiting.

So far this is my anime if the season

Oh wow. I really liked this episode and it's already one of my favorites of the winter 2021 season. I had no idea what this would be about since I didn't have any knowledge besides the very vague key visual and the misleading "slice of life" tag attached to this so this was a very very pleasant and nice surprise.

It felt like I was watching serial experiments lain or Paprika with the way everything (tone, pacing, visuals) went. I loved it all. The visuals and soundtracks were awesome and this definitely an experience...

This has tons and tons of potential imo and I'm really hoping they don't fumble it. I loved the way the set up was and it would be a massive shame if it doesn't stick the landing . I'm really excited for next week's episode and I really hope it doesn't lose the charm the first episode had.

This show feels like if Flip Flappers and Koe no Katachi had a baby, but was raised by Satoshi Kon.

Here's a phrase that perfectly describes this thread: "people not knowing how to keep their expectations in check."

I mean, for fuck sake there's people already rating this a 10 and leaving reviews based on a single fucking episode. Yes, this was a very good and strong first episode, but that doesn't mean anything. Going forwards this anime can turn out to really be a masterpiece or it might crumble and turn to complete shit.

Showing some restraint and not hyping things to oblivion leads to a life with less frustration and disappointments, you know?

This is not what I expected at all when I watched the trailer, holy shit this was amazing. The art, animation, music. Everything about this episode was fucking high quality. And the story is very intriguing, it seems so deep, one huge ass metaphor of a show probably. If the show keeps this quality of the story up until the end, then I am sure this show will be a gem.

I also really like the character designs, it's so clean. CloverWorks is killing it this season with TPN, Horimiya and now Wonder Egg.

Studio Cloverwork's 3rd anime on this season. They're surely keeps on surprising us with their great animation works

I definitely don't have an idea of what's going on here. I'm hoping that they give us an explanation of what the heck is happening here because it looks really great. The animation and visuals are stunningly great and I like the uniqueness of BGMs that they are using.

8/10 for first ep. I'm gonna stick with this and see what kind of mind twisting plots that they will offer :)

Okay so, it is extremely similiar to Madoka Magica, right, however I have to say, I enjoyed even the 1st episode way more [not the artstyle for sure>>which is still beautiful doe, Shaft is a legend]. Seems like there is going to be some romance between the main 2 girls, so I’m here for it 😌😌🙌 damn and the chemistry between the mc and the girl that commited suicide [possibly], it was as dissapointing when they didn’t kiss as when Kanbaru hasn’t kissed her rival in Hanamonogatari like- Overall 8/10 or like 7,6/10, the art is beautifull, so I’m waiting for another episodes :) Especially looking also at Horimiya, Cloverwork really overdid themselves w the animation and artstyles is general, they progressed so fast, it’s like early KyoAni, I love it

Oooh boy... I don't think I even know where to start lol...

Okay, so I've heard about Wonder Egg Priority for a while ever since MAL made a news article on its announcement. The key visual looked good and a PV I saw of it seemed okay, but I didn't know how to feel about CloverWorks—a studio that seems to have contributed to the Ace Attorney anime, which I was a bit disappointed by since I am a huge fan of the games. So this show didn't seem like something that I would actually consider looking into.
Fast forward to around an hour ago or something, where all of a sudden I notice an Anime Recommendation between this show and Revolutionary Girl Utena of all things. I have not seen that show yet, but I am well aware of that show's director and how both he and the show are pretty much highly praised by many in the magical girl fandom. "What the hell is this" was all I was thinking when I saw this recommendation, so I decided to check the rest of Wonder Egg Priority's User Recommendations out of curiosity. All right, other than Utena, there's one of my favorite anime of all time, one magical girl anime I've been considering watching for quite some time now, a very popular movie that I thought was okay even with its very thoughtful and remarkable presentation, another anime from Utena's director, and a fairly popular anime that I heavily disliked.
6 anime I recognize, with 5 of them I have positive thoughts/expectations about... you know what, sure, let's give this show a shot.
Wasn't planning to watch any of this season's seasonals, but sure, let's go I guess.

dompsterfire said:
I'm so confused. This show makes me... wonder about a lot.

First of all I'm in love with the soundtrack. It's so fun despite what's happening. It seems that she is playing a gacha game and she needs to change the future where Koito isn't a statue but she needs some exp or something in order to do that so she plays a game where she saves people. Also it could all just be a dream since we saw that slide scene after the hospital.

I'm confused if they used cg on the characters. Yes, i know they used for those little things and they used it really good. Made me feel the suspense. But i cant tell if the main characters are 100% 2D i'm so confused lol. Art is really nice though. Ai is really cute with her yellow hoodie.

Overall I'm hooked.

ALSO CAN WE MENTION THAT THE TOILET ROLL SPOKE THERE

...I just wish I didn't watch this at 3 am.
I'm not sleepy or anything (somehow), but I feel like I don't really think through past midnight and so I had no idea what the hell was happening or how to process it all lol. I do understand that this is gonna be pretty dark and talks about suicide though. I'm glad that the forum posts here explain observations so that I could figure something out from it lol.
The presentation is SHAFT-esque with random cuts and symbolism all over the place, as well as the dream world giving me some Gekidan Inu Curry vibes, and I like it. I also liked how natural the voice acting sounded. With this first episode being a huge horror surprise, it looks like Wonder Egg Priority has a very good chance to be this decade's Madoka Magica but without the magical girl part. Sure, I'll stick this one and keep an eye out for it as it airs ;)

That was interesting. This really reminds me of Adachi to Shimamura and a little bit of Sarazanmai.

Cloverworks is doing a great job doing three animes this season, Yakusoku no Neverland, Wonder Egg Priority and Horimiya.

But I don't get one thing, how is Ai supposed to protect those people who hatch from the egg. If she defeats those Seeno Evils then they disappear, is that how she's supposed to save those people?

This show seems to be throwing a lot around, tying all the stuff together is going to be difficult. Establishing reality vs dream especially. But I'm hoping it manages to pull it off because I see a lot of promise here.

One thing that stood out to me apart from the animation and soundtrack (which both seem great) was the shot composition. Some scenes are framed really tightly using close-ups to show Ai's isolation from the other characters. I really like this show not tell style, so I'm looking forward to this aspect especially. Animation is a visual medium, after all.

The characters also look interesting. The character designs are really well done and the characters themselves have definitely caught my interest.

Great animation, great visual storytelling, interesting themes, a nonsensical first episode? Sign me up.
