8/10
Wow! What a delightful surprise
26 April 2024
From the very start I thought I was going to be watching a girl's slice of life melodrama or something given the cover art and the opening theme song but it was also really hard to tell what I was getting into given the wacky title. I mean "Wonder Egg Prioority" ? Only you Japan.

The beginning starts off as one would expect: slow and mopey but almost immediately takes a this brutal right hook. It immediately adds fantasy, sci-fi action into this mix that was initially presented as a boo-hoo woe me kind of show. AND... said action is quite brutal and visually spectacular. This whole show is animated so beautifully. Every individual episode feels like part one of an OVA at least. The animation studio is CloverWorks who is apparently rocking it (Ex: SpyxFamily. Darling in the Franxxx) . I can't stress how good this show looks.

The writing keeps you engaged and tackles some serious issues without becoming too melodramatic and instead squeezes some brutal, gorgeous imagery in-between to cleanse the mental pallet. Not to say that it cops-out from acknowledging feelings, it actually at times felt like hints of Evangelion and some Satoshi Kon on its tackling of reality, self, and depression. Totally give this a try! 8.28/10.
