Wonder Egg Priority: Watashi no Priority

Ai Ooto is finally at the cusp of unraveling the mystery behind her best friend's suicide. After stepping into the strange dreamlike world of the Wonder Egg and sparing people from their adversities, she reaches her end goal of resurrecting her friend from death. Yet, now with her friend alive, Ai is confused and hurt after realizing that she does not remember her anymore.

She is not the only one who has been alienated by the person she saved. In fact, the other girls caught up in the affairs also face the same repercussions for bringing someone back to life. As they try to grasp their new reality, the girls come to terms with the trauma from their "mission" and question whether they should dive back into the Wonder Egg to uncover the truth behind everything.

Okay... I'm gonna try to be sincere. As a Finale, I like it. It's an open one, but it's cool. What is the problem that got many people mad?

The fact that we got to wait 3 months for just 20 minutes of recap and 20 minutes of a new episode. I myself was just mad too by this. But, letting that aside, it a great end for the show that makes you want a Second Season.

I really think if they just didn't make us wait 3 months for this, everyone would have liked it. The revelations in this chapter were pretty nice and ... they resolve some things in the plot, but the things like fightint Frill or becoming and Eros Warrior aren't touched at all. And it's because of that that I think it should have a second season. So, please, if you watch it, try turning aside the fact that you have to wait 3 months and be more critical, because it isn't that bad. And if you didn't watched Wonder Egg Priority, watch it, it's very good.

Mixed Feelings

*Spoiler warning!*


Story/Plot 6/10 - Where do I even begin? The pacing was honestly way too fast, and if they didn't put that almost 30-minute re-cap in the pacing would've been way steadier. The plot gave us more questions than answered them, the "parallel worlds" thing was super confusing, and we honestly didn't really learn that much. Don't get me wrong, finding out Neiru was an AI was cool and all but besides that, the only other thing I can remember us getting was "closure" for Koito's death. (Which wasn't really closure at all considering it made her entire death seem pointless, and also kind of ... made her seem like a down-right terrible person.) Overall, the plot seemed really rushed and it honestly just was a huge letdown.

Art/Animation 10/10 - Same as the regular series, and spectacular as ever. Same with the animation.

Sound 6/10 - Same as the usual series.

Characters/Personalities 8/10 - Now, I don't usually change the rating for personalities, but certain characters just acted off. For example, Ai made some decisions, which while I understand them I feel like she wouldn't regularly do. And yes, I do get the circumstances but I still feel like her reactions to certain things just weren't... Usual. The other 2 (Rika and Momo) acted pretty normally, but I feel like when Rika found out Neiru was an AI she would've still tried to help her and wouldn't have blown off the idea immedietly. (Ik after that we had the scene where she started crying and stuff but I'm just talking about her initial reaction.) (Neiru was also pretty normal.) Idk, I didn't go deep into their feelings like the usual series, and that kind of bothered me because that was one of the great things about the original series! (Again, they were still great characters but I feel like certain key things weren't focused on enough when it came to their personalities and emotions.)

Enjoyment/Overall 6/10 - I don't have much to say about this. It was a letdown on many parts, I still enjoyed it for the most part because it's "Wonder Egg Priority" but I was also super bothered by the plot and the other stuff I mentioned. :)

I'm writing this review to let out my frustrations just shortly after watching it. Sorry if I appear overly critical. There will be spoilers.

Wonder Egg Priority is a show that I was never the biggest fan of. Its premise was interesting but its execution left much to be desired. After watching episode 12, I was incredibly confused and concerned as to how just one additional episode would be enough to wrap up everything that was introduced in a satisfying way.

And of course, half of the special is a recap. I already thought it was pretty ridiculous for a 13 episode series to have just ... one recap, but two? I lacked faith that all of the plot points and conflicts introduced near the very end of the series could be concluded in the initially believed 40 minute runtime, and upon learning that the new content would be the length of a normal episode, my little hope was lost.

And I wasn't exactly incorrect. This episode didn't conclude the story. It didn't conclude anything. It instead left me with even more questions than I had previously, with a clear bait for a continuation that may or may not happen.

I'm not sure how to accurately describe it, but the entire episode almost felt like a fever dream. Things happened and scenes went by, and yet by the end it felt like hardly anything had happened at all. Very vague "explanations" for things were randomly thrown at the characters because hey, where else are you going to put them?

It introduces a new conflict over halfway through the episode and then doesn't do anything with it, and nor does it go anywhere with all the previous characters the show randomly threw in. The Accas and Frill are hardly even in the episode, to where I even forgot they existed.

The entirety of this episode just feels disconnected from not only the one before it, but the entire series. Rika's desire for revenge is quickly "resolved" and forgotten about. Momoe is apparently fine enough to be friendly toward the others again despite saying in episode 12 that she wishes that she hadn't gotten involved with Ai and the others. Neiru is gone for practically all of it, and Ai just randomly transfers schools at the very end. It crams in a flashback and her suddenly deciding to see Neiru again after an unnecessary timeskip.

I just didn't understand why any of this was happening. Momoe never appears again after the karaoke scene, and the last we see of Rika is her breaking down and showing many signs of contemplating suicide. Ai threw her phone when Neiru called her for no reason other than she didn't want to talk to her, and then she basically abandoned her friends. Rika had just vented about the loss of her friends, and then Ai leaves, too. Epic. By the very end, the status of all of the main cast except for Ai is unknown.

Whether this gets a continuation or not, this was a really unsatisfying and frustrating episode. It didn't answer much of anything, and still managed to disappoint me even when my expectations were extremely low. I understand the reasons for the delay in-between episode 12 and the special, but that doesn't make me feel any better with how un-worth it the wait for this feels like.
