THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I will be honest, I have dont really have an idea what is going on for the most part, but the animation (tho some of the CGI scenes are weird looking), artstyle and the OST are pretty good. And dang her new friend is gone just like that O.O

Will keep watching this for now to see what other random shits will be going on.

Wonder Egg Priority's first episode is here, brought to us by CloverWorks.

Character design and animation is really nice. Especially Ai's, her character design is unique with her blue hair and different coloured eyes.

Holy shit this anime is creepy though. Dolls with the creepiest smiles trying to murder the girl from inside the egg right off the bat.

It seems that you have to draw a "Wonder Egg" and try your best to protect the person who hatches from it for as long as possible, or neutralize the threat. Ai has to do this so she can get her best friend Koito back huh.

Early broadcast on selected streams:
https://twitter.com/WEP_anime/status/1349008234724552704

A blue haired girl named Ai Ohto (word play on heterochromia iridum, meaning "odd eye"), and a mysterious Egg: Break the Wonder Egg, and see what happens.

Then suddenly...all the CG massacre starts coming. This is a gory series that does not hold back, that's for sure. Even so, the dementia-esque psychedelic suspense of a feeling gives me the creeps. The past dream of a friend Saijo Kurumi a.k.a Koito Nagase and the bullied Ai, and to save the friend in reality.

I'm VERY HOOKED now. This "Wonder Egg Priority", the Egg is truly the priority to change the future, with people "birthed" from it as targets of a "dream", indistinguishable from reality. The race against the Seeno Evils (or more like Monkey See No Evil), I'm very curious to what this world has in store.

What a first impression this is, coming from an entirely new scriptwriter: Nojima Shinji. If anything, of the creepy shows this season, this has the biggest potential to hit it off, and also being an original as well: directed by Shin Wakabayashi, the director of Ano Hi no Kanojo-tachi (which are 22/7 shorts), whom now debuts as a full-length director. Not to mention that the character designs were all inspired from 22/7 the anime.

More info on Heterochromia:

This quote sums it best: "In real life colored eyes have no special power, however, it is not in anime.
If there is a character who has オッドアイ in the series, watch out, there is a story."

This anime makes me interested just by looking at the KV

I really like the character designs of this anime and this season CloverWorks is producing "Horimiya" and "Wonder Egg Priority" thanks CloverWorks

Still full of mystery and there are many things I don't understand yet, but I'm looking forward to the future because I feel that the story makes sense.

damn this is rly nice, ost and art are amazing and fit this well. characters are also done very well too, love ai's character design especially, rly cute and interesting personality too.

kinda getting some monogatari vibes from this. the world is interesting af and i really like this concept, very nice supernatural setting. also, could this possbily yuri - judging from those bedroom and ending scenes. if so that'd be really cool

really looking forward to this

This looks just so damn beautiful. That's it, that's all I have to say for now, but I wanted to say it anyway. Besides that, I got so many Ikuhara vibes this first episode that I'd say it's almost deliberate.

Oh, and that this series apparently knew how to make the first episode creepier than other supposed thrillers this season that are in far less inspired hands.

So many talented animation teams assembled for this winter season, the production on this one is kinda unreal, good for CloverWorks I guess.

On the story side, no idea what is happening at all, but it seems promising so far.

I'm so confused. This show makes me... wonder about a lot.

First of all I'm in love with the soundtrack. It's so fun despite what's happening. It seems that she is playing a gacha game and she needs to change the future where Koito isn't a statue but she needs some exp or something in order to do that so she plays a game where she saves people. Also it could all just be a dream since we saw that slide scene after the hospital.

I'm confused if they used cg on the characters. Yes, i know they used for those little things and they used it really good. Made me feel the suspense. But i cant tell if the main characters are 100% 2D i'm so confused lol. Art is really nice though. Ai is really cute with her yellow hoodie.

Overall I'm hooked.

ALSO CAN WE MENTION THAT THE TOILET ROLL SPOKE THERE

Wow we already have a contender for AOTY and unless this messes up bigtime later this anime will be big.

Does kids these days dun have brains. How can they bully a girl for having heterochromia, it looks beautiful. I guess they bully her due to inferiority complex cause of not having heterochromia.

So Ai can get back her best friend Koito if she saves a lot of people in her dream like how she saved Kurumi. I wonder if this is really true or she's getting scammed, cause trying to bring back dead people never ended well. Also what I find most interesting about the dream is that even thou Ai's invincible there if she takes damage there she'll take damage in real life which changes things by a lot. Now she gotta be careful af or else she'll get killed.

Really intriguing start with beautiful visuals. Ost and animation were really great. Also I loved the gore, it was done beautifully. Overall a really solid start, looking forward to more.

This anime is so in love with its own originality, its own artistic direction, its own special snowflake characters, its own solution to the bullying and suicide problems. It'll be either go big or epic fail, there's nothing between.

I don't know how to describe this, but it seems interesting! The visuals, animation, and character design were beautiful. Just what you would expect from CloverWorks.

The bloody scenes, flying axes, and the dolls really caught me off guard. Definitely did not expect that lol. They took the "Slice" from Slice of Life quite literally eh... xD

Very interesting start and I definitely enjoyed it!

The art and character design are very nice.
The story looks darker, more horror, and more mysterious than I thought. The world setting and supernatural power look very interesting. That strange dimension and those Evil reminds me somehow of Mahou Shoujo Madoka and Monogatari series.

I really like the way symbolism was handled. The themes are definitely about friendship, bullying, ignoring that bullying and suicide. Heavy stuff. I wonder how much of this is dementia stuff and how much is actually real. If anything even is real.

That's what it looks like because after touching her best friend statue (after the incident which is her killing the crazy girl with the axe) it was a little bit warm.

The visuals were beautiful. I barely understood anything that happened in this episode, it looks like main character's only friend killed herself. Now she needs friends but she doesn't want the same thing to happen to her new friends so she's scared of getting friends... I guess? I need more episodes to understand Wonder Egg Priority, this episode was visually great though.

This single episode, of an original show that was literally almost non-advertised even back in home ground, lead by a brand new director, wrote by someone well known for Japanese TV dramas on social issues since 1990s but with very little anime experience, and starring rookie VAs starting out with the "underdog" Lovelive team (Nijigasaki, which apparently amazed casual viewers last season), handily beat AOT's very first episode to my amazement. No, it even edged over the opening episode of Madoka and Steins;Gate - 2 of the strongest openings I have ever seen!

The signals from multiple classics brushed over the amazingly clean and colorful artworks from A-1 Pictures' spin-off CloverWorks - I just bumped into a story on eggs a week ago in famous Kunihiko Ikuhara's all-time favorites Revolutionary Girl Utena and the opening scene reminds so strongly of that episode that I knew something interesting is brewing within our MC Ai Ohto 's minds.

And so it came, images of her what-must-be-distressful experiences at school got blended into scenes reminding me of a mixture of Penguindrum and Madoka Magica, two of 2011's most beloved treasures. Then Ai-chan apparently got her minds powered up and suddenly, with her hetero-colored eyes opened up, jumped over the building as if she can kill gods a la the charismatic Shiki Ryougi in the opening chapter of the brillant The Garden of Sinners - only for her to get back to her "reality" and fainted.

Priority Wonder Egg? No, this is an Explosive Wonder Egg. I can watch this episode over and over again and still be amused and refreshed about what I like about the unlimited probabilities of anime a la Haruhi.

CloverWorks never had much problems with their animation qualities and this is the best I've ever seen from theirs. People say Mushoku Tensei started with a movie-class first episode, but this one is....on another altitude, let's say KyoAni movie class.

The story is gonna make the egg or break the egg. But this bottom-tier expectations show has landed on Earth with the potential to be among the most memorable anime of this year, if not even further. Yes, I'm saying this after 1 episode.

Now, let's let the egg roll over the world.

so the enemies are called See No Evils i guess Ai is always pretending to not see evil done to her best friend thats why she did suicide

as they say not doing anything against evil is part of the problem

Okay let me explain the thoughts I have after watching this first episode.
These Wonder Eggs contain dead people, the holder of the eggs gets a choice between cracking the egg or just leave it be. When the egg breaks the human that's contained resurrects and the worlds of dreams and reality collide. The evidence can be found when at the end of the episode Ai's wound appears in the real world.

The holder or Ai (the main character) in this case loses someone dear to them, that is her dearest friend Nagase. Who we can see dead on the walkway. I didn't really get a clear picture on what her objective will be in the upcoming episodes. Will she fight so she can get her friend back or is she lost forever?
But this got me thinking what if the actual victims from the eggs require salavation from a different source other than Ai? For example their own real-life friends taking the same action to save her(the girl from the egg and not Nagase)?.

I also want clarify this episode was not in chronological order and therefore confusing.

What do you think are the most important things in life? Money, dreams, sympathy towards others...

Yes, they're all important things as well... But the most important thing is responsibility for your own actions.

probably because they are not part of the production committee of Horimiya so its not a priority to them unlike this Wonder Egg one but im just guessing here since i do not watch both shows

although the sakuga community is hyping Wonder Egg Priority for months now thats how i learned about it
