Let's start with the good: I enjoyed the first season of Wonder Egg, and more of it was exactly what I'd wanted for the past few weeks. We find out a bit of information: the people saved do actually come back, though their memories of the person who saved them are wiped. Reality acts as though the girl has never met the one they saved. Another good thing is that Ai has a bit more development, as does Neiru (kind of?)
The bad: Almost everything. More than half of the episode is taken up by a recap. This show was 12 episodes and aired less than 4 months ago. One of those 12 episodes was already a recap episode. There is absolutely no reason to have this much of a recap. The "special" was supposed to be an hour long; this is 45 minutes long, with about 25 minutes dedicated to the intro and the recap. This could've been episode 13 of the anime or replaced the other recap episode, and I'm assuming that doing that was the original plan.
The story is rushed. 2 or 3 anime episodes worth of poorly contrived "plot" shoved into a 20 minute segment does not translate to a well written story, especially because a good 10 minutes of it is just the characters conversing and debating whether they should go back to fighting with capsules.
Neiru's subplot could've been halfway interesting, but again, it was incredibly rushed, and I don't understand her motives. I don't think her motives were clearly explained and it was disappointing.
The art has suffered tremendously. There was a scene where Ai found out that Koito didn't remember her, and "ran away." It looked like Ai was running in place while the scene transitioned, and this was over 10 seconds. Immediately after, Ai ran through the rain to try and find Neiru - but instead of seeing Ai confront "Neiru," we're given a voiceover while she runs. It's very confusing and not well done at all.
There are a lot of twists thrown in, about one every two minutes or so, and I don't that they're terrible, but they feel very out of place in no small part due to the rushed feeling the special has.
Just as soon as the special seems to be picking up, it ends. It ends on a sort of cliffhanger and there's no confirmation of another special or second season. If this is all we see of Wonder Egg Priority, it'd be a hell of sour note to end on.
I genuinely feel like none of the mysteries of the past season were sufficiently answered and instead we were given a whole new bag of mysteries that will never be answered.
All in all, I would say you're not missing much by skipping this one. I liked Wonder Egg Priority a lot in spite of its flaws and had high hopes for this. It was, as I said before, more than a little bit disappointing.
