Story and characters
It's story mainly concerns our lead in Ooto Ai. Whom doesn't have the best life, from being awkward around others, shy, but always self conscious when it comes to her looks. As she's suddenly drawn into this really weird place through breaking a Wonder Egg after being told such, and being drawn to this world where they deal with someone's past trauma in order to escape it. Said past trauma, turns into quite a terrifying monster, each being different then the next one, which is very creative and the level of mystery, just adds so much interest. WE is also not afraid of diving into very deep and concerning topics too, and they handle them well.
Ai isn't the only character we meet and get to know more of however. We get to meet her only friend, and best friend at the time, and the reason behind her wanting to partaking in these events in general, as we learn the tragic fate that befell her, and a more reason to why Ai is mainly home most of the time. As the series goes on, we're learning more on other WE users, in likes of Neiru who seems more of a calculated type with her own goals in mind, but has befriended Ai, as Ai seems like a positive influence she surely needs. Along with a girl/idol named Rika Kawai, whom just seems like a range of emotions, which her past shows why the way she is, and how it's effected her. She seems a bit of a arrogant bitch type, but there is more layers then what is shown, which is always good stuff, and good details. Along with many more characters that we'll meet over time.
Art and sound
The art is where it goes into deep places. As backgrounds and characters look great, they always look create. But the creative ideals when it comes to the monsters is just very great indeed. They really go all out and leave nothing behind at all. They make it look great, but also make it seem terrifying and intense too. Also adds to that with the sound design, it's all good stuff and I can't complain there.
Wonder Egg is a highlight on a Tuesday for sure, it'll be one of the anime's of the season, maybe even the year at this rate. Watch it now honestly. Watch it now!
