Groenboys said: RobertBobert said: Wihle I respect that speculation, I personally think that is bit ridiculous and does not fit what this show is going for. All the girls are doing Wonder Eggs because they feel guilty for what they have done, even though it is indirectly. The anime really wants to highlight that no, it isn't your fault for another one's suicide. Having the main character Ai actually kill Koito, thus doing something that is actually her fault, would go completely against this message, not to mention that it clashes with the other members motivations.Now imagine that Koito's suicide turns out to be a hoax and in fact Ai killed her out of jealousy of her teacher. Add to that that her mother is a hallucination since Ai killed her too and you have a typical J-thriller plot, lol. Also, this is a drama. This anime is more about the feelings of the main characters and how they cope with it, not about "what is the next twist", like you would usually see in thrillers. Shinji, the writer of this show, has written countless J-Dramas, so I don't think he would cop-out with a Thriller ending. Um, that was totally a joke. Have you seriously thought that I read the suicide show like a Hollywood thriller with an unreliable storyteller? |

| Their pets are very cute xd I think Sawako-sensei is hiding something for sure, and I didn't expect that love from Ai (⊙_⊙), I hope isn't true... |
NocturnSunshower said: Oh that would actually make a lot of sense, im almost sure its not gonna work tho.The reason Ai wants to go back to school is to check if the bead chain can make her see Koito's ghost. It seems many here missed her grabbing it after getting out of the bathtub. |

| I really wonder what's up with Mr. Sawaki, he's often quiet and says so little in a show with constant talking so it is hard to get a read on the guy. He doesn't seem like a bad guy we've seen him supporting people but mostly when there are other people around, we haven't seem him alone with Ai showing his true colors. I really hope he was a good guy but being close to a mysterious girls suicide makes him really suspicious. |

| Oh man a lot happened in this episode- Ai mum and the teacher want to start dating (tbh I wasn’t expecting that, so it was a shocker to me) I hope he’s not dating her mum to target Ai, I really hope that’s false. Ai is more aggressive in this episode, (which I can’t blame her). And now she wanna go back to school. I’m kinda confuse why, (there’s a lot of mystery’s in this episode). I’m actually curious about the next episode. |

| not sure why ai wants to go to school all of a sudden. im happy she didn't confess her love to the teacher tho, that would have been super weird |
 |
| Was the flower that appeared right at the end, when Ai is running, a yellow rose? if it was, then it means "jealousy"... I'm not sure if it was it, though |

The real purpose of the beads was kinda vague, however they basically let you see "evil" as well as negative intentions/emotions or something along that line? Perhaps they showed her that there were no negative schemes surrounding sensei during that last scene, making her happy and relieved. |
| Let me say it, I just absolutely love this series and it was a great episode. BUT! Why the frik were haters even introduced in the first place? They were a problem for like a minute or two, and then they get pets and the haters are never trouble again. Was it just to show that the Seeno Evils could evolve or have different reasonings to kill or something? Also, was Ai managing to jump in and out of the egg world, and is that something we've even seen before? Might just be misremembering, but thought you either saved the victim or died trying. Like she struggled with haters for a while, jumped out, got a solution, had trouble with the boss for a while, jumped out and then defeated it. Weird, but lovely episode overall |
Felisberto said: In fact, it may be true... Was the flower that appeared right at the end, when Ai is running, a yellow rose? if it was, then it means "jealousy"... I'm not sure if it was it, though In ep.5 we know Koito once took away Ai's chance to be the teacher's painting model, and in ep.3 Ai found Koito crying in teacher's arms (cant see Ai's expression right here)... |

| Yeah, the teacher is most likely not a pedophile (I'd say "definitely", but I'll wait until we know for sure). I'm pretty sure that everything Rika says can be disregarded, cause there's no way they'd spoil the actual mystery that way. The only reason everyone here just assumed the worst about him is because he's the only male character in this show and was Koito's and Ai's teacher. Sure, the scene where Koito is hugging him is kinda weird, but it's definitely not enough to come to such a harsh conclusion if you didn't think he was evil beforehand. If he turns out to be what all of y'all are saying, I'd honestly be kinda disappointed that WEP didn't even try to hide it :x Another great episode, I totally understand why Momoe is pissed at the other girls. Imagine your new friends constantly insult one of your relatives (that you like a lot) without even knowing him (Ai doesn't talk badly about him after all). |

Weird, but lovely episode overall There is a time that i am bothered with this lack of consistency in the "rules" of the Egg World. People deny, but for me, Plot Hole it is. And it will make even more sense (of being PH) if the show prove itself to be more centered in the psychological than in the fantasy plot. If all is psychodrama metaphor, then the rules for the fantasy means the least. I remember this from Evangelion. |

| Ngl I feel bad for that girl with the eyepatch in this episode she said she was hearing stuff in her head and people didn't believe her not even her parents and they put her in a mental hospital and committed suicide because she had depression but at the end she was telling the truth there was some type of invisible force. This show really hitting deep. |

| Mr. Sawaki plays a huge role in the main plot and I'm so eager to figure out what it is. He literally could be anything from a warm beacon of light who assists Ai through her discourse about Koito killing herself, or a deceitful antagonist who is manipulating the Ooto family for an unknown objective. I'm also super curious about Acca and Ura-Acca. At first I kinda saw them as just the distributors of the eggs, but now it seems like they are becoming more involved with the girls, shown by them watching as the girls argue about Mr. Sawaki. I hope we get more background on them. |

Weird, but lovely episode overall I don't think she was jumping in and out. She failed to complete it the first time. The "game" ends when the time runs out and you managed to protect the girl from the egg, but if you don't kill her personal-trauma-boss-monster, you don't succeed. Ai managed to protect the girl on her first try, but wasn't able to deal with the boss, cause they had to hide from the haters until the time ran out. Then the girls get the little helpers. Ai tries once again, beats the boss and "wins". She didn't "jump" out when fighting the boss, that was one sitting. The story is just not told in chronological order (at least that's how I understood it). The new revelation here is that the girls get multiple attempts at one egg, as long as them or the girl they're protecting survive until the time runs out. |

| yuri yuri !!!!!!!!! |
| Seeing the egg necklaces made me shudder, because they remember Madoka Magica Grief Seed. Now I'm less sure if this anime will have a happy ending. |
 |
| So we reached the halfway point, and the series is still going strong. The mystery surrounding the teacher was teased a lot this episode, but not enough to reveal what really happened. With the way the flashbacks were structured into the fight, I wonder if the show was trying to draw out a parallel with the invisible monster. Because when it comes to predators there's always people like Momoe who disbelieve and can't see the "monster" in that person. And in the last scene when Ai is grabbing her clothes she also has something that resembled the prayer beads she touched to see the monster. So maybe she ran like that because she wants to reveal the truth to others? Could be wrong. I'm just hoping that she doesn't like the teacher lol. They kept that pretty vague. |

| What’s the symbolism behind ai not being see the monster she was battling in the bathroom? They showed in in parallel as they were discussing her mom and the teacher. Is she not able to see her own demons in her personal life, not able to face her own feelings she’s hidden deep inside? Anime has become elite just because m night shamylan (forgot how to spell it) got some love |

| This might have been my favorite episode so far. The conflict between the girls over the teacher dating Ai’s mom was very reasonable and reflected their viewpoints well. It doesn’t seem like Ai likes the teacher, but has an unsettling feeling about him. Her going to school with the beads should help test if her feeling is correct. The animals also add a creative element to the battles and my bet is that they will die for emotional effect. |
| It seems like Ai, is now going to be actively trying to uncover the truth herself about Mr. Sawaki. That probably explains her decision on returning to school. Besides that, this episode really threw us for a loop and was once again really well animated. Rika's reaction to Neiru's statement was golden. Edit: Holy shit I just realized Ai grabbed the prayer beads before running for Sawaki. That changes the entire context of that scene. Out of every episode so far, I think this episode used visual storytelling the most effectively. Tons to uncover from what Wonder egg is showing us instead of what it's telling us. |

| Hmm I didn't see the sensei doing something wrong so far and he really doesnot look like a bad guy for me...well the point Ai liking him might be true though...this relationship could get really interesting |
 |
| Definitely my favorite episode so far. Not recommended watching at night due to this Egg's boss but the episode was extremely emotional q.q I am slightly disappointed if Ai really does like Mr. Sawaki because then it just leads the anime to another route :( |
 |
| I love this anime more and more with each episode, but I really hope that Ai-chan isn't into Sawaki-sensei wtffff so I hope her reason to go back to school is actually using that bracelet to see Koito-chan's ghost 0: |

Something unexpected she couldn’t see before and didn’t know about herself, and the realization of it |
