Wonder Egg Priority

ワンダーエッグプライオリティ

最近、ワンダーエッグプライオリティというアニメを見ました。このアニメはとてもかわいそうだけど、実はとてもダークな話です。色々なmental healthの問題があるから、時々悲しいです。でも、チャラはとても面白いです。そして, アニメでは珍しいトランスチャラがいます。それはとてもprogressiveだと思います。

The story is complicated, so I will explain it for a bit in English. The main character, Ai, has depression because she feels guilty about her friend’s suicide. She finds out that there is a way to bring her friend back to life using “Wonder Eggs” that give her a mission in an alternate dimension to complete. If she completes enough missions, her wish will come true. Through this phenomenon, she meets other people who are fighting to bring back their loved ones. They uncover the mysterious origins of the Wonder Eggs, which I won’t spoil in case you decide to watch. 

I really liked how this story was not afraid to deal with dark themes and mental health issues, while contrasting its material with the seemingly cute art style. However, I didn’t like the ending of the anime because it felt rushed and didn’t answer all of my questions. Still, looking back, I think the anime is great despite the bad ending and worth a watch if you’re interested! There’s more backstory and lore, but I don’t want to spoil it.
