| I personally think that this episode was pretty good but wasn't the best ending. Although I adore the show I felt like this episode just added more questions. That's fine to leave some things unanswered but to dismiss a bunch of other stuff that probably was needed is just really bad. There was huge opportunities but it wasn't as I would expect. Maybe another episode or two would've summed up this short season in total. Also, I think this episode dealt with Ai's regret and her true nature in her relationship with the other characters. Overall, this series held deep to me and I loved this series a lot. I can't wait for the special in June because I want to see more of Neiru's story and maybe some more Frill content. |

StxDii said: Also, if anyone watched this final episode on Funimation, am I correct in saying that the thumbnail for this episode is a still that never appeared in the episode itself. It doesn't even look like it's from the same anime xD I totally thought it was a glitch on my end but my friends got the same thing. They have a thumbnail from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime instead of the actual show its supposed to be |
NachoCheese0531 said: People just think the production team needs to confine to their will. Ive heard ppl hate on it cuz it was too bloody and I'm like its rated R for a reason. I mean, I think that criticism is more valid starting with episode 10. It being more graphic overall is cool as a stylistic choice, but having Hyphen feed Momoe her dead animal friend just came off as very mean-spirited to me. Didn't seem to contribute much to the story beyond pure shock value and misery porn. Seeing Koito's corpse in the first episode meant something. The blood when defeating Wonder Killers provides visual catharsis to killing the Wonder Eggs' trauma. Dead friend feeding time however? I don't know. I don't think that it's as simple as "people want the production team to confine to their will." The show has fairly lofty ambitions and goes for complex subject matter. Likewise, I think many people's disappointments with the show are of a similarly complex nature, even if it doesn't come across in writing. |

| Episode worked much better than the others with the same formula, because this time there was some development before. However, I'm honestly not seeing how can this have a satisfying ending on one special episode. Maybe it's double length, but I'm still skeptical. Overall solid anime. I'm just glad the author tried to create a story, and not be lazy and do random stuff and claim is all metaphorical (still can't understand how people praise something of this nature). But I hope he actually has a good/satisfying written ending in mind. For what we had so far, 7/10 |

| I cracked up when "Kirara Rodriquez Matured XVIII Evening Star SS Plum" stated her name. Meh episode, I was expecting more from this show, I am kinda disappointed. |
| Well, that all seemed incredibly abrupt, rushed and unclear. We’re given little-to-no clues on where our main characters have ended up, and the meanings behind it. I thought the finale would to be more Frill based like last episode, but I assume we’ll get a more conclusive ending in the upcoming special this June. |

| Glad another episode is in the works, because this was some bullshit that left me with WAY more questions than answers. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| I guess this is one of the shows where the writers felt we were better off not knowing the truth? Apparently Ai did love Mr. Sawaki. He wasn't the bad guy after all. We didn't see anything about Neiru. I'm curious about why we didn't get to see her sister. |
| When the ED played, all I said was "Wait, what?" It doesn't feel like a finale and I can't even view it as one. Parallel worlds, Ai's that committed suicide. It feels like that they are introducing way too much stuff at the end, even if this is the penultimate episode, I have no idea how they can give us a satisfying conclusion in just one more episode unless it's like 2 hours or something. Overall, I did like this show a lot. Interesting premise, interesting characters, tackled a lot of heavy handed stuff. The backstory from the previous episode was very good. There's a lot of nice setup but somehow I don't know what the payoff is going to be. How will this story end? At this point, I feel like the way the ending is handled will determine how I truly feel about this show. I'll look forward to the finale in June and what they can show us. 7/10, may bump higher depending on the ending. |

| Well, overrated as hell. Episode 11 is the worst. That shift didn´t work at all. 4/10 |

| ? ..?? ????????? what? what?$?#@%@##@ what was that episode .? it ended like that..? im glad we got more focus on ai since we haven't bc we were focusing on the other characters but what abt them now?? did their friendship end like that? is rika just gonna try and try again but eventually fails? how's momo doing? is mr sawaki and ai's mom tgt? what abt acca, ura-acca and frill? $?#?@$?@# |
| I think that thing with Thanatos, temptation of death and everything that came with episode 11 was introduced a bit too late in the history and didn't helped the plot at all... I don't know how to feel about this. I'll remember Wonder Egg as one of the most beautiful anime I watched until today. But I have so many questions and a normal length episode will probably not be enough to answer everything on June 30. I'll keep this anime unrated because I really don't know what to think about this "ending". |

Not everything needs to be a lock-box of metaphors and bullshit imagery. I feel the show is complex enough as it is, and if you want to delve a little deeper, there's always the option to. People expect too much from shows nowadays, and it always seems like newer ones can never be enjoyed because people have a rod up their arse whilst trying to sniff out the "deeper meanings" or distinctions. Seriously! There seems to be a loud minority of viewers eager to brag about how simple they found the symbolism of things that I'm pretty sure weren't actually meant to be that deep. Trying to attack a number of opponents, real or fictional, is not the best choice for argumentation. |

| ... I didn't get it. This was the final? I expected to have clear messages. I even understood Evangelion, but not this. wtf. |
 |
| man why do Original Anime get fucked on the ending so many times :/ Stars Align, Evangelion, Wonder Egg, DitF |
 |
| theres no way this is the end, this show has so much promise but like so many anime originals they always suffer in the end due to production or just being bad some of the biggest worries were if it'd land all the themes it was tackling but in the last 2 episode it seemed as though weren't actually things it wanted to do or just simply didn't have time. despite everything being a mess i did not dislike this episode though i felt silly i didn't think to look at the hiarpins to tell which Ai was our Ai |
 |
| After DitF and now this I think it's safe to assume that Cloverworks can't be trusted with original anime. I still fail to see how they're going to end this with only a special episode. It would need to be the length of a movie or even longer in order to give proper closure to everything that was left open / unanswered. Like I said in last week's episode discussion, if this really is the direction that they wanted to go with the story then they should've introduced all these new plot points earlier in the anime, not in its last episodes. All in all, it was still a decent anime. I thoroughly enjoyed episodes 1 to 9, even the recap episode was decent since it wasn't an usual recap like we're used to. Episodes 10 and 11 also weren't bad, it's just that the plot points introduced in them felt like they should've had come up earlier in the anime. And episode 12 for some reason just felt neutral to me, it wasn't bad but it also wasn't good. Now to wait until june to see if WEP will stick its landing or not. |

| Ok, so I schemed through some of the comments from this forum after watching the "final" episode as way to understand what it meant. From what I could gather there doesn't seem to be a clear answer as the episode didn't explain as much as it could and left a very confusing message to the audience. I'm not certain on the cause, most probably time constraints and production issues according to different sources, but at least there is going to be a special coming up in a couple of months which will hopefully tie up loose ends or not leave us with a bitter taste. Now, regarding the anime itself, aside from this debacle and the recap episode, there isn't pretty much anything I disliked about it at all. The music and the animation were just something to be admired from every episode, most particularly the fight scenes but not limited to those either. Tons of visual effects and sound mixes created a different atmosphere for each scenario and conveyed a different emotion, even on a rewatch. I'll definitely look up the OST later and check it out at my leisure. The characters were also quite interesting considering their complex backgrounds. They each dealt differently with the situation they were put in and had their own reservations in their interactions, which made sense considering how they were written. Also, while the story was somewhat hard to follow since the line between reality and fantasy was very flimsy, and there a fair share of time leaps, it makes for a great discussion point aside from the pretty hefty topics it decided to tackle. Overall, a pretty solid recommendation, not sure if a must just yet though. I'm not gonna just turn it down because of how well this "finale" did. Sorry but I can't understand that mindset. |

| Somebody understand the fight against Sawaki's head? it really didn't make any sense. |
| That was too ambitious for its own good. It became way too messy having to distinguish between what happened to which Ai and whether the teacher represents the one for the Ai that committed suicide, for both of them, or as an exaggerationthat formed in one of (or both?) Ai’s heads. Then it ends unceremoniously with the dead Ai saving the alive one from Frill’s friend only for a concluding special in June. This anime could have been great, but it was heavily undermined by poor production planning. An unexpected recap that took the place of an episode, multiple delayed airings, and many rushed/messy episodes toward the end. I thought this anime could have broken through the large trend of disappointing original anime, but it looks like I will have to keep waiting. |
| I didn't really understand. So the teacher was the reason why Koito and Ai from the parallel world killed themselves? And why was Koito a fake friend? Is the teacher a good person or bad one after all? The animation was AMAZING tho. |
| "he has it big as a cactus but he won't let go of my head and I puke on his cock bitch" - Boy by Fishball |
| I guess the teacher was an enemy..? or.. Something?? Idk, my brain stopped working after the second Ai appeared. it'll probably take many rewatches for me to understand.. I'm extremely confused but not really displeased either cus we got some top tier eye candy animation. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| so I watched this when FUnimation finally released it, was confused as all hell. Re-watched it again a couple hours later, this time paying attention to Ai's hairpin to tell which Ai was which. The second viewing made things a little less confusing. While I think throwing in parallel worlds at the last minute is dumb, it at least was a way for Ai to finally confront her feelings and move on from Koito's death. But Neiru's line about Koito being a "Fake friend" was confusing. Koito was real, right? but wasn't really present-Ai's good friend? I also don't think Mr. Sawaki is off the hook. His behavior around Ai was still super shady. And we never got to see what he said to Ai in the art gallery scene. I guess we'll never know if he truly is a good guy or a bad guy. Or if he was partly to blame for Koito's suicide. But I think the anime totally jumped the shark by adding in Frill and her bug-head school girl goons. The anime was already abstract and mysterious enough, so to take it in a sci-fi direction with a rogue AI who had a part in all the suicides is just too much to add into the story. If the anime really wanted to have a villain, they should have just made Ura Acca and Acca the villains. Make them responsible for the existence of the Egg world, and partly responsible for all the suicides that happened. Or something like that. Frill's character just over complicates things if this anime had been 16 episodes or more, then maybe it could have all worked. And now we have to wait 3 months for the actual finale. What a train wreck this anime became. It started off so good, but imo things started to go south starting with episode 9. This anime is clearly a passion project, but it was also way too overly ambitious. What's worse is how much the staff had to suffer for it. The animation producer even had to be hospitalized for overworking himself so much. So it's hard for me to support this anime in good faith because of the nightmarish production it had. Just doesn't feel right to give this anime high praises, even though there's still a lot of good things to be said about it. It really is a shame. |

N5567 said: I may be completely wrong on this but I haven’t seen anyone bring it up; at the timestamp 7:40 during the pool scene with Mr. Sawaki’s monster, were those condoms on the bench? I know it was confirmed that both Koito and Ai were in love with him, but even with his creepy behavior throughout the whole show, he wasn’t directly implicated as a predator this episode. I was wondering if that one second scene possibly alluded to the parallel version of Ai’s suicide being due to Mr. Sawaki assaulting her, or it might’ve been another object entirely and this entire analysis is wrong lol I took them as being sleeping pills/painkillers so Ai could pass out while drowning |
| Am i the only one who thought the Special episode in june is not really necessary? This show ended the best way possible, loved that. |
 |
| BEST EPISODE OF THE SHOW (EPS 13 MIGHT BE BETTER) As I expected, this episode is about Ai final development , and yeah I like how she finally realized everything and moving forward . And yeah we're coming with final battle against Frill in June (goddamit Long way to wait). I noticed some downgrade of production (due to tight schedule)for example the beginning , where the dialogue between the girls is taken from far away . Hope the one season break could maximize the ending. Rest well producers, you are all great. |

| Wakaranai! I don't even totally understand what was episode 12 all about? Just a bit of it. And who is who, having two Ai with the same outfit and WHAT THE HELL IS THAT, ENDING THING LIKE THAT AFTER THE INVESTING OF EMOTIONS AND ON? We deserve a proper ending. My rating wen from 10 to 9 to 7, I really see this as masterpiece cause of the premise but hufff, they just mess it up, they dont even know how to end it properly and that unplanned recap made it worst. Urrgghh, its frustrating. This is annoying! |
