Okies, big sigh moment. Been putting it off for a while now, but finally last night i finished Wonder Egg Priority and it's special 13th Episode.
It's great. You have a lovely cast of characters, each with their own set of problems and drama. You get invested. The production value is insanely good. Beautiful animation and style, popping colors, great soundtrack and art direction. And there is always just enough mystery per episode to keep you hooked and guessing.
The story is heavy, and there is a lot to deal with. Philosophy, Self-Harm, Motivation... Tbh, as it built up and the story reached it's peaks I thought to myself very often that maybe this could be the next Madoka moment for anime. Uhm, unfortunately, the anime severely unravels in it's last 2 Episodes + Special. It's like... they tried to cram all their ideas and answers in the last little bits and it just wasn't enough time to do it properly or expand on any of the new concepts and characters introduced.
... And than at the end, it really really "jumps the shark." Without spoilers it's hard to describe. But it really is a trainwreck and it's so sad to see. Because you really did have the making of something extraordinary here....
Sad to see. I went into it knowing the ending was super hated on, and well now I know why.... So yeah. But well, I am glad i watched it still at least.
