Best episode so far in my opinion. My hype gets higher every week. |
VP2003boi said: ohh okay thanks for the info. So it's an artistic choice then and is intentional? hmm I wonder why. It could be because it's in Rika's dream. Anyway, thanks for that.dompsterfire said: only thing is that you can sometimes notice the lack of in-betweens drawn in the animation I dont think thats correct to say. Series like this, with so many incredible animators, tend to sometimes have those "less fluid" cuts, not because they are lacking time to do the in-betweens, far from it, but because these animators just prefer to draw them this way. For example, this episode starts with a cut of the water of sea made around 6 frames per second, that was made by ken yamamoto, a guy that, although most of the time does more fluid cuts, still does more framy animation every now and then (his work on fate babylonia is a really good example of this). And he certainly isnt the only one that does this, another example is Norifumi Kugai, one of my favourite animators, and although he hasnt appeared on the show, im really crossing my fingers that he does, as he almost always does this really framy animations with amazing art that just look amazing (He probably wont appear as he is probably doing something on madhouse, but considering keiichiro saito and nobuhide kariya, guys that also mostly just work on madhouse, worked on the opening, im really hoping he does.) . edit: just found the genga on twitter https://twitter.com/ponpokopi128/status/1354157822301229056?s=20 |

| I'm used to drop series because of characters like Rika. At the start she annoyed me, a lot, but I made it to the end of the episode and kinda get why she's like that and her motives to be there. I appreciate the effort CloverWorks put into the stairs scene, that cliffhanger is a good way to end the episode. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| This was another great ep of Wonder Egg. Rika is cool and all I guess. I understand why she acts the way she does but I can't deny she did get on my nerves a bit when she first followed Ai or kept calling her fan her "wallet". The cliffhanger was pretty damn crazy. I'm very much looking forward to the next ep. |
 |
| This episode somehow managed to pass the previous ones in visual quality, it just keeps getting better and better. i like the new girl's design but I can't stand her personality. I get that its due to her uprising but that doesn't change how much she irritates me in the slightest. |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| shit we 3 for 3 so far as expected that teacher is sus af it can go either way but right now Ai's body language of never looking at him isn't helping his case of being someone trustworthy this episode did a good job at making me hate and like Rika at the same time she seems super awful but at the time has a lot of issues to unpack, speaking of unpacking this show has no chill with how much stuff is loaded in it and it's so great that it's a original so all we can do is speculate ! just wanna chime in i do think the animation is still quite good but i think it might've just been a stylized way to do the somewhat low in between frames almost stop motion like just look at the spilled tea scene,its different not bad just different i'd always say go full fluidity all day everyday but to each their own lol |

I think the bigger thing they have alluded to is that she is jealous or envious that her only friend chose to confide in him, and not her, and maybe even more that she didn't have the courage to be the one her friend could have confided in. But we will see. |
 |
| this eps was very intense , the fact that shaitou shuka (You watanabe VA in Love Live) voice an idol character in this anime make it more interesting , i hope she wont die in next eps due turned into a stone |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| 11/10 episode. I loved every single second of this and the dynamic between Rika and Ai was really interesting and the animation for that fight at the end was nice. I really really hope Rika is gonna be ok though. I really liked her. I think this my favorite episode so far and Wonder egg is without a doubt, one of my favorites of the season. |
 |
| CLIFFHANGER WRYYYYYYYYYY Also, bold prediction. Mr. Sensei dude kinda sus but I don't think he's actually a bad guy. |
 |
| Like pillow talk. She's so damn pure! I didn't think we would get this cliffhanger! |
 |
choose your fighter and weapon. i really like Rika's dual wielding cutter  |
 |
| Wait, a good, original anime getting the attention AND rating it deserves!? What wizardry is this!? Has the community finally come to enlightment? |
| Damn that cliffhanger...!!! Really good episode, I'm really loving Rika's character, her design is cool as hell, she also really cute (I mean kawai). There seems to be much more to her character than meets the eye. I just hope she's not dead... she's by far best girl for me so far, and I'd also like to see how they develop her character. 5/5 |

| Nice episode, though I didn't understood a few things. I'm counting on you guys to tell what's going on 'til the end of this amazing and beautiful show. |

| Another great episode. This show is looking like it's gonna be my favorite from this season. Really liked the new girl. I am really interested in knowing both her and Neiru's full backstory. Also Ai is so adorable I really liked the entire pillow fight conversation with Neiru. |
 |
| It was pretty spooky how nonchalantly the two girls admitted to committing self dead when their idol died |
| sneed |
| this definitely is one of the top anime of the season for me. |
IBloodstormI said: i see forgot she said that ,could just be that as well would also make sense why the dream didn't choose hers despite Ai thinking she had stronger feelings over Rika katsu044 said: shit we 3 for 3 so far as expected that teacher is sus af it can go either way but right now Ai's body language of never looking at him isn't helping his case of being someone trustworthy She's said already she does not hate him.

| This show sure becomes more captivating with each passing episode. And well, a bit more depressing too... On one hand, Rika's character was introduced and though I kinda dislike her pushy/invasive personality (it could be all a front tho), I really look forward to her development. That is, if she doesn't die, of course. So, based on her lines at Chiemi's funeral, it seems her fan died of starvation due to an extreme eating disorder after getting despised for being "fat"... damn. Now on the other hand, the counselor seems suspicious as fuck and the fact of Ai being kinda naive about certain things only makes me feel more worried. Especially since there is no day he doesn't visit her home. |
| Rika’s pretty cool. That animation was stellar |
| So it seems like the theory that the teacher was one of the main factors leading to Koito's suicide was indeed true. The new girl, Rika-chan, had a very interesting backstory. An idol-fan relationship with the girl she wants to save, Chiemi. I really hope that she's still alive since even though she has a bad attitude, I think she really cares about Chiemi and it's not all guilt that she feels. Huge props to the animators, since this episode was just nothing short of amazing, production-wise. Another banger of an episode. Can't wait for more! |

 I accept random friend requests! |
| 400 ratings and not a single person gave this ep a 1 Goddamn |
| damn those scars caught me off guard |
 |
| Another amazing episode, we are introduced to Rika who is first shown to be very arrogant but I think that isn't really her and she's actually a good person as we saw. Those idol fanatics are pretty insane damn. The idol world is pretty fucked up sometimes, well the show business in general is too. I really like Ai, she's such a great character. Their making the sensei very sus, but it could still be a red herring, the teacher could actually have been helping Koito, but it's 50/50. Visuals were once again amazing and in fact I think it was even more better than the previous episodes. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| i just stumbled on this anime today and poofff, the story,animation and characters are really amazing. Great episode, Rika's my best girl on this series, i like her character. |
it’s never too late for life ... to go horribly wrong. . . afff~  |
| lol Rika definitely the upgraded version of Elaina, only 1 chapters and I already love her. |
 |
| I really disliked Rika at first, but she quickly redeemed herself throughout just this one episode. Pretty interesting setup for this week as well. They touched on the idol business; I usually thought of most female idol fans as dudes, didn't expect to see that level of obsessiveness from female fans as well. I was skeptical of the 'egg of the week' formula, but the scenarios have been cool and we're getting tidbits of plot for Koito as well. Shaping up to being one of the better original anime I've seen lately. |
| Compared to other last 2 episode , i got least feel in this one. Maybe because it was about idol life and the flashback are only shown by exposition instead dialogue or actual scene. But look , something to dig more , there's a side where Ai hate Koito , maybe it will affect the power or her development soon . And yeah it ended in cliffhanger , let's wait till next ep |
| Хайде, хайде, хайде, това е първата зона, брато, първа зона, първа зона, добре, добре, добре, това става тук горе, отива тук горе, само спокойно, само спокойно... Ха, отдясно е, навсякъде отдясно отдясно къде е дясното ти о да добре добре добре тихо мълчаливо не успях да се съсредоточа върху това ЕХ ТЪПАК КОГАТО СИ БАВНО БАВНО ... ой е путката на моето момиче прасе куче, аз Чувствам се добре, о, мамо, *шамар*, какво е това госпожице татко- |
HikariShoumeiron said: What actually gave people 'sus' vibes started in episode 2, when Koito is talking about the bullies. She states that they claim she gets 'preferential' treatment from the teacher. When Ai objects, saying she's a transfer student, so it's only natural (the same Ai that thinks bedroom stuff is pillow fights, for the record), she calls the bullies' reaction as 'girl envy' and says it's an amazing thing. This coupled with the scene in which Koito stands in the corridor and the teacher walks, without focus, behind her with a smirk on his face, places an off-putting vibe to their relationship. Adding to it this episode, things start looking less favourable. Kosmonaut said: My two theories up to this point are that either Koito was being groomed by the teacher, or she had a crush on the teacher and got rejected by him. If it's the first, then he'd be keeping tabs on Ai. If it's the latter, then maybe he genuinely wants to help her deal with Koito's suicide. I thought the same thing. Actually the second scenario was the first that came to mind, especially because of the teacher's behaviour. When Ai found them in the classroom he didn't seem to get shocked or worried of her finding out "about them". Granted, it was only a few seconds and we don't know what happened next. He doesn't give me "sus" vibes, but you never know. Of course, as I said, it could be a good old bait and switch, in fact Koito was the one harboring unrequited feelings, but the 'sus' vibes some people got didn't exactly spring out of nowhere. Both scenarios I mentioned in my post are still theories, but I tried basing them on text, so they're not too out there. |

| An ex idol junior now. I thought she was an annoying girl that loves to tease the others with no limitation. She was actually just another messed up and troubling girl with a complex connection with her closer relations, her one and only fangirl. Quite sad hearing her overarching story, and it ended up making Ai self-realized about Koito. The reason behind Koito's death still unknown. A lot of speculation related to those counselor teacher man, that may be hinted as the real cause. Still, Ai had so much mistake in the past, especially with the way she acted against Koito's bully case. These episode flashback showed how ironic herself facing Koito's problem. But also became the reason of why Ai was still alive, until those days. In the end, her coincidence meeting with Rika synchronized them both in a good harmony, and released a several conditions that led them into a transformation. Its just when i thought everything would turn out good, they cliffhanged it. Damn! The first time cliffhanger. Its broken out the Flip Flappers episodic style in just 3 episodes only. What a good shit. I hope that stone changes had no trouble in the end, but i doubt it won't effect Rika much in the real world. Maybe it will effect her with a permanent disability, maybe. Ah, i hope its wrong. Its enough for making Rika in a lot of more sadness, and bring another burden to Ai's shoulders, after what happened previously to Neiru. Its just, no more shit, to them .... Lets see next. |

| what a great anime this is. I've got high hopes, please don't ruin this |
be4 said: I hope Koito's story isn't as it looks, even though she should've told Ai about what was happening... Rika's and Chiemi's story was really upsetting. I don't get why after all that, she still badmouths her! It's exactly because of what happened, that Rika badmouths Chiemi. On one side it helps her to cope with her own feelings, as it's easier to tell yourself that the other person killed itself, because of herself and not because of your words. She can't handle the guilt. She cut herself because of it and tries to keep those feelings at bay. On the other hand it's also a mechanism to keep others away. She's not showing her real feelings and seems pushy and obnoxious, as she doesn't want to hurt another person. It would also explain, why she turned to stone at the end, as she finally opened up to Ai, which meant to lower her guard. |
 |
| I'm just going to assume that the teacher is also hitting Ai's mother. |

Adding to it this episode, things start looking less favourable. I wouldn't really call his expression a smirk in that scene. A slight smile, maybe, but being out of focus makes it easy to see things that aren't there. His face is pretty neutral. I think people really just want to see people as bad guys, specially in a male teacher, female student situation. Anime has us thinking every male teacher is a pedo, but the guy could just as easily (and so far leans more heavily towards) be a nice person who thought he was helping a student in a bad situation and never realized how far gone she was already. I do think he could totally be a terrible person in the end. If so, this guy has the biggest gonads on the planet. |

NewYearSameMe said: Though he look dodgy and such, but I honestly think (and hope) that the teacher is just a gentle and caring person that is just concerned about Koito's well being that's how they get ya. they present as good and innocent in public but are monsters in private. raiderublaze said: those two fans that killed themselves because their idol did so have the same hair color as Billie Eilish. Like my eyes are not fooling me because their hair color is brown and then the other side is lime green. Nice easter egg there CloverWorks because no one else has ever had brown hair they chose the dye green before she did it, yeah? IBloodstormI said: She's said already she does not hate him. it's possible she lied if she's scared of him and/or since her mother was there. personally idk which way it's gonna go. I kind of feel like there may have been unrequited love from either Koito or Ai to the other. like if Koito confessed and was rejected and sought the teacher for comfort, which upset Ai. or if Ai confessed and got more jealous that Koito went to the teacher over it. guess we'll just have to see what happens. |

If anything I think the unrequited love is most likely between Koito and the teacher. It very well may play out that while he was helping her with her bullying and depression that she began to like the teacher, who then rejected her feelings. She could possibly have had feelings for Ai, but there really isn't much there to work with. Ai seems to be quite naive in those areas, so I doubt there was any feeling of that manner from her. |
|
| Cloverworks is flexing their good visuals and animations again. We got to see a new character to this episode which is Rika Kawai. Her personality and looks are really the opposite, but she also has a fair share of regrets. The episode got wondered if that teacher is a sexual predator. |
 |
| "Kawai" Rika got introduced from one of four main girls this episode. Rika at first seems like Open Hearted yet Selfish Person, but later actually She Sensitive and Good Person at heart. She strive for a girl named Chiemi, Her Fanatic Fans when she was a Idol that commit suicide because Rika hateful towards Chiemi which is caused by Chiemi stealing to meet he that make end Rika with self harm. I agree with what people say in Discussion that kinda reflected towards Idol industry related with their own Fans, but I just know the surface in that industry though so maybe I could be wrong. This time Egg Person is Miko and Mako, Fanatic Fans of Idol Yu- Yu that Commit Suicide and because of that their commit suicide too. From looks of it it's not have any related things to any character. But, from My Perspective Miko and Mako gonna have Big Role in the next episode that can be have related things to Rika like having some relationship to Chiemi Person or Condition when Rika become Idol at that time, or etc. Hope CloverWorks can make some Plot Progression from this Character. That Conversation between Ai, Neiru, and Rika was really Great, I can feel the artmosphere Situation of Calming and Fun from their Conversation happening in there Please, Don't tell me that just only time that could meet. I gonna sad if it just that. Btw, The Teacher is make me little suspicious to him because his gaze upon seeing Ai was kinda threatening that about to take advantage of Koito. I still hope that not actually happen, but that just sign something wrong with her teacher. This episode end in Cliffhanger ending that Riko petrified. I really don't know if Ai can save her or not, but hopefully Ai can manage to save her Or I gonna Cry because cannot see Rika building relationship with Ai, Neiru, Other One Character. |
