| Good ep. Ai going in for another round of helping someone move on, this time in the form of helping a girl who was bullied by her gym teacher. The fight was pretty solid and I like Ai's guts to vent out her anger scream at the teacher that she's a bitch. At the end, Ai finally makes a friend starting with Neiru. I'm intrigued to see how their friendship will develop overtime. I'm looking forward to the next ep. |
 |
| This anime is so visually stunning I never get tired looking at it. Ai-chan has a new friend. |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
| It's an alright episode, though the lack of frames and weird utilization of 2D within typically CG framework in certain parts during the action scenes was kinda weird, ngl. The premise at least from face value is much easier to understand this time around. Hilarious how Ai's weapon is practically a Keyblade, except it's more like a "PenBlade". Ai will likely have to make difficult decisions down the stretch that would obstruct her original objective to save her first friend. The OP and ED are passable as soundtracks themselves, not really amazing by any means. Kinda wished their visuals used more creativity. I'm still not sold on much here, but at least I don't need to worry about the production quality. |
 |
| The OP is damn great. Especially showing all the real life places. Very great concept. I guess everyone has somebody he/she wants to save...but even that we cannot be greedy...a lession for life. I guess we all have so many questions unanswered yet, so let's just see how it continues. |
 |
| My winter 2021 schedule is tight with 23 shows I want to follow, but so far it seems that this and Horimiya will turn into my favorites of the new ones and for some reason I see myself slacking off on the new seasons of other shows (especially some of my favorites). This one looks great and gives me the feels, so I'm really looking forward to more of Ai's adventures, even though I feel like it'll be a darker show. |

| I like this anime theme, really good |
 |
| The first episode was better, but this was good too. I'm not sure I understand why Neiru wants to be friends with Ai tho |
| Lmao this was very similar to Persona 5. I'm pretty sure I've seen a creepy-ass shadow coach before. Very much like Kamoshida minus the sexual harassment. I could almost hear Blooming Villain playing in the background while Ai was fighting her. Even the paint that spreads on the floor under their feet when they walk is here as well. Nevertheless a very nice episode. I still don't have much idea what's going on but it's still very fun. Also, this needs a thriller tag. It's more thrilling than most other thriller anime I've watched. Those boobs tho... Truly a wtf moment. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Another interesting episode, I think I'm starting to get where this anime is heading towards. Gives me a few other anime vibe... like the Monogatari series or Bunny Girl Senpai along with Modoka Magica vibe How in the first two they help people out with their issue and problems and I love all three of those series. So I'm freaking enjoying this anime right now! As we go into each new episode, we start to see the truth about her friend... what really happened? I'm super curious to know... I feel like the ending is more like she can't save her friend or those people who are gone... but the 4 girls end up saving each other. That's just my guess right now... that we can't save those who are gone, but we can still save those who are here. |
| This anime is just so pretty to look at. |

| I like it when there's a contrast between OP and ED. Another nice episode and I would consider myself hooked. This really has potential and I'm interested to see what else these episodes will tackle and how dark this can get. |

| The drama in this episode feels way too forced. It was worse than the first ep imo. However, that directing is perfect and awesome animation is still here (sometimes it even feels like I'm watching a live-action movie instead of anime). Let's see how it will go. |
| I wish that it had a little more subtlety in regards to the trauma monsters and allowing for more interpretation. I like the idea of the monsters representing a different cause of trauma that leads teens to suicide, there is a lot of hard-hitting potential with that formula. Also, I’m not sure when Ai became so sociable and outgoing between last episode and this one. I know the reason that the anime gives, but that sort of change in the character needed to be developed a little more. It feels too abrupt right now. |
| The visual quality makes me feel like I'm watching a Makoto Shinkai film. wtf. |
 |
| the art style reminds me of SSSS.Gridman so much, good episode! |
| "Wonder Egg Girl and her Trauma" of the week seems to be formula for the series. As long as we have progressions to the story, I'm fine with this. Also, I want to know more about Acca and Ura-Acca. Why are these guys chillin' , doing business while the girls are endangering their lives? Also, is it me or the series are shedding some light on mental health issues (e.g bullying, abusive mentoring) ? Thoughts summarized here: https://thatlazyfan.wixsite.com/anime/post/wonder-egg-priority-episode-2-thoughts |
| Alright, I have got a good idea of what the plot is about right now and its gotten my full attention. I am conflicted though, the Anime production looks great, stunning, mesmerizing at times, but the undertone is really dark as shown in this episode. These traumatic events Ai has to solve for the person who gets out of those eggs, look absolutely horrifying. On that aspect, they do make these traumas traumatizing lol Seems I am not the only one here, but there's definitely something shady that happened with Koito. Teacher preference huh, Yeah, I imagine things will be really dark later on in this show. |
 |
| Great to see episode two also being high quality in almost every aspect. The only real criticism I can come up with is the fear that the series will turn out to be egg of the week until the final few episodes, all of which taking place in the same school with the same minion enemies. Even then I hope they can still pull it off and deliver entertainment. |
| From what I was able to understand it seems that Koito was abused not only by other students but also by a teacher (the scene at 18min 35 secs kinda implies that) now I dont know if it is the same teacher that goes to Ootos house but if it is that would explain why she seems to be so unconfortable around him but I dont think he is the same one because Ooto specifically said she does not hate him so this leads me to believe that she just distrusts teachers in general after what she saw Koito going through. At this point it is pretty much confirmed (if last episode was not enough) that the people she finds inside the eggs are already dead and are a "statue in another world" like Koito and probably killed themselves like Koito. My final theory is that this is probably either Ooto allucinating as a result of all the trauma and the fact that she wants to overcome it or not only Ooto but also Neiru and probably the other 2 main characters that are yet to appear are suffering from some kind of mass hysteria caused by their respective trauma. |

| Another great episode! :) I wouldn't mind if this show kept the egg-of-the-week concept at all, as long was the main plot moves along too tbh. I'm not sure why everyone is already jumping to conclusions and accusing the teacher of something evil tho. It is definitely a possibility, sure, but we haven't been shown anything like that yet. He was just nice to Koito as far as we know. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But we'll see. Edit: Persona 5 didn't invent evil teachers/coaches btw :x |

deg said: so ye Koito must have been sexually assaulted by her teacher then she committed suicide It might end up being the case, but I think it's reading in a little to far at the moment with the current context clues. The flash backs seemed to depict that she was being bullied, tried to get it caught on camera with Ai's help, whom messed up because she was scared, and the presumably tried to address it but maybe fell on def ears or she had no proof. There is really no context here about sexual assault from the teacher (from other girls bullying her, far more likely). Context seemed more like she tried to do something about the bullying, and it failed.

It could be the same teacher. If he simply didn't do anything when she tried to address her being bullied to him, he may be invested in Ai due to feeling of having not done anything for one student, and ending up with his student committing suicide. Ai may not hate him, because she too feel like she did nothing and let her friend commit suicide because she was too scared to help. |

| i Said it last week this show has a oddly upbeat tone to it despite the themes involved and mix that with it's pleasant visuals but also creepy dream killers i can't not shake off the feeling of it going much darker later not to mention how real the danger is to them ,every time Ai gets hurt i'm like how badly is she gonna be injured when she gets back closet thing i can think of with comparing this is persona from what we can gathered it seems things might've been far worse for Koito and with no one to help |
 |
| What's the point of this anime? I don't saying it's not good. I liked it, but... I don't get it |
 |
| Another very good episode. This time we got an Egg who got abused by her P.E. Coach. Thankfully, Ai had the gut to protect her to the end. Also her and Neiru are now friends. |

 |
| Didn't expect that calming OP. Really liked it, both the song and the direction. Another solid episode. Imagine if you have the same situation with the abused gymnast (or any other harassed character), this would be really painful to watch. To let your situation presented out in the open. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Another fantastic episode, Ai is definitely trying to change, she's trying to become stronger compared to how weak willed she was. I saw a comment that Koito will be one of the eggs eventually and I think that's very likely to happen and I can't wait for it. Koito was definitely acting strong in front of Ai, but she couldn't take the abuse anymore. That acid boob coach be nasty though, it's sad that that actually happens. Where you put too much expectations on someone to the point of abuse. I guess we kind of know what the purpose of those eggs are? Though we don't know exactly what they are and who that guy talking to Ai is. Really looking forward to the next episode, I really hope this show succeeds. |

| Wakabayashi Shin (ep1 director) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yamazaki Yuuta (ep2 director) They both pro but so different in approach. |
| I enjoy the backstory unvealing the past slowly, and meeting new friend Neiru is moving nicely in this episode. But the battle with Wonder Killer felt nothing special, as well the backstory of the egg felt bit too fast to get sympathy out of it. Understandably egg wonders are temporary cases to be solved asap, so prioritizing the backstory and Neiru has to be higher in a 23 mins episode. |
| I'm watching this series with a bit of mixed feelings. On one hand the visuals are very well done and the story is really captivating. It's a very bright light in what I thought was going to be a very dull winter anime season. Yet, on the other hand, it shines a spotlight on how, as adults, the issues get framed in a narrative and we're unable to affect their outcome. As someone who has students in the age bracket of the characters in this series, this show stings a bit... |
| It's just two episode and the bulling have gone this far I don't think I can handle any more..... I really feel so bad for koito, man I am depressed, need to watch some Ghibli movies to recover myself |
| Considering how eager and careless Ai was acting, I was totally expecting things to go horribly wrong with Minami. Thankfully, that wasn't the case this time. Another interesting episode. Guess Ai and Neiru are basically helping dead people overcome their traumas so in this regard, I wouldn't be surprised if Koito shows up at some point. Her getting bullied because of supposedly "preferential treatment" given by her teacher already set an alarm for me so I wonder if we will be adding "sexual assault/molestation" to this show's trauma mix. It wouldn't be the first time the script-writer addresses this topic after all. I'm also really interested in this Neiru girl. Looking forward to knowing more about her and the story behind her sister's death. |

Lelouch0202 said: I am pretty sure she did sustain the injuries in the real world, the first time it shows her in the hospital it looked like she had a neck brace on, though that could be part of her clothes and i just saw it wrong.This is great, really liking it. The story seems interesting, so they need to help the person in the egg overcome their trauma. My guess is that they are helping dead people overcome their trauma, I wonder if that means at some point we'll see them meet Koito inside the egg? Action scenes are quite nice, the art is great and the animation is good too. The soundtrack really stands out though, has a very classy feel to it. So Neiru tried to take on multiple at the same time and ended up injured, she definitely bit of more than she could chew there. The final scene with Neiru and Ai becoming friends was great especially when Neiru smiled. :) I do have one question, what happened to Ai's injuries? In the previous episode the stab affected her in the real world but here she seems to be fine. I wonder if it's because she helped the person in the egg overcome the trauma she doesn't take any damage? NewYearSameMe said: I think the pacing was just different because the first episode was there to show us the characters her motivations and too hook the viewer and thats why the pacing in the first episode was different than this episode. Also if you are talking about the scene where ai is in the locker i believe she was getting harrased by fellow female students but i could be wrong. Was this episode directed by the same director from episode one? Or is it a different director? Not to say this was a bad episode, this was good, but this had a different kind of vibe pacing to it. Maybe it is just me... Wait, did Koito get raped or bullied by a teacher or something...  Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| That was a messed up gymnastics teacher. At least those two are starting to become friends at the end. |
