100% one of my favorite anime’s ever. The way the show manages to fit so much into so little time is astounding. I definitely feel as though it was intended to be longer but I believe that with the time they did have they really made the most of it. This show is such an anomaly amongst anime, the all teen girl [non sexualized!!] main character cast, and especially the heavy real life subjects being handled as well as they did, really made this something super special. I absolutely adore this show. The plot is kind of everywhere at times, especially towards the end, but ... it never really bothered me. All the main characters in the show all have such unique personalities it’s impossible not to love all of them. And even despite how cool and lovable the girls are they all have a flaw of some kind that really rounds them out making them such perfect character archetypes. One of the biggest things for me is how theres absolutely no fan service in this whole show. It’s not prevalent for even a moment and I just adore that on a whole other level. Not only does it just make the show feel more serious, since the girls are actually dressed like normal teenagers and not monster fighting in clothes that don’t fit, but it also just makes the show a-lot more wholesome, I guess is the word im looking for? Its not a kids show by any standard, the topics are dark and serious, but they don’t take advantage of this fact by adding unnecessary inappropriate scenes. I 100% recommend this anime to everyone no matter who you are, its such a short-not-always-sweet masterpiece.

Mixed Feelings

Feels weird to mark this as "Mixed Feelings" when I gave this an 8/10, but I think people who have watched this can understand why I did this.

Watching an anime original is kinda like eating one of those jelly beans that is either chocolate flavor or poop flavor. In Wonder Egg Priority's case, it kinda felt like eating chocolate flavor poop. I genuinely do think this show was overall really good, tackling some of the darkest themes like sexual assault, bullying, suicide, gender insecurity, etc., all in a very unique and terrifying way. The 4 main characters bounced off of each other really well, I ... enjoyed their personality a lot, and I think they all go through their own unique character arcs. Also the colors, the animation, and even the OST were all really good at setting the atmosphere and the vibe, which is a huge plus for this series.

The biggest thing that holds this show back is that it is clearly meant to be a show that needed 25 episodes, but was condensed into 13 episodes due to production issues, corporate greed, or whatever reason behind the scenes (can't really comment on this). This meant that a lot of plot points just felt unfinished, like it kinda ended in a weird spot where it does not feel like the ending.

I personally still really liked this show though, and I think it still does so many unique things where it is worth a watch. Here's hoping for a miraculous season 2 or remake to save this show (very unlikely but I stay coping)

I have never been so disappointed to an anime until after I finished this one. First few episodes were great. Succeeding ones until episode 10 was okay. Episode 11 is peak, episode 12 is just utter trash. I hate to say it and leave a review like this but I felt so bad that I can't take back those 4 hours spent watching this anime.

At first, Ai has a goal, which is to find out why Koito died. Great, we have something to look forward to. She stopped going to school but still got new friends. Great, it was a fun ride with all ... of them. Episode 11 dropped, holy molly it was peak. Then I expected episode 12 to explain everything that's been unanswered so far but what did I get? I got smacked by anything the authors want even though it doesn't make sense. It felt like hundreds of dots in the sky which don't connect to create a constellation at the very least. It's just whatever, plot holes everywhere, ALMOST EVERYTHING was left hanging.

It's just a bad experience for me as I have had very high expectations from this show. Sorry for the rant but there's a 50% chance that you'd feel the same as I after you watch this show.

Ep 1-4: 7/10
Ep 5-10: 5/10
Ep 11: 9/10
Ep 12: 1/10
Overall: 3/10
