Wonder Egg Priority is a very delicate anime, it touches themes that are very personal and subjective. Depression, self harm, suicide, sexual harassment on minors and bullying. **This review does NOT contain spoilers.** Please Refrain watching this anime if you are susceptible to any of these themes as they are present throughout the whole 13 episodes. * First, let me start with the positives: The animation is very good, movement is fluid and in no moment the beauty of the scenes was damaged in order to compensate the animation. This anime is seriously gorgeous. * Second, the characters for the first 6 episodes are coherent, believable and follow a natural growth progression that paces exceptionally well the story. Unfortunately, after the 6th episode the story takes a very, and I mean, a **VERY** steep dive in quality. What was once subtle and personal, tries to shift to literal sci-fi that do not translate well to an anime with themes such as depression and suicide that has been grounded in what seems as reality. As a guy, I also found it very hard to relate to the characters. Our main blue hair protagonist doesn't like her different colored eyes, she doesn't have friends and lacks confidence, she is the easiest to relate and her character stays solid almost entirely (until the end), Our tanned friend is interesting and has a thought provocative story that shamefully is never fully told and shifts at the end to something nobody would see coming, because it makes no sense at all. Our blonde sassy friend is a somewhat abrasive character that seems to grow but not really, and the serious elegant red-haired momo struggles with her feminine side, her story has lesbian undertones that failed to gather my attention. Addressing the elephant in the room, the ending: I'd say **this is the most underwhelming ending of 2021.** Starting as a compelling and somewhat dark story about girls struggling with (somewhat superficial issues) traumas and the loss of loved ones turns into a sci-fi without a reason, destroying the very solid foundation created in the start. **I would NOT recommend this anime.**
