I usually donât write things like this but what in the actual fck did I just watch.
So sorry for SPOILERS. Please donât read if you havenât watched it.
I had expected the special to be 1 hour like what the sources has said but to my utter amazement the special is a 46 minute long animation with half of it being a recap of wonder egg. I understand that the animators are tired and must be pressured to create the anime so I was fine with it as I also am going to be working in an industry where we have to put our work on time.
I skipped the half of it since it was just a recap. I still donât understand why we need a recap but for the new viewers, I guess that is fair.
We see Neiru playing with her rabbit shoes before it shifts to her and Ai in front of a shop before she left her with a mouse named Adam who we never seen again in the ova.
Next we are introduced to Koito. At first, when I saw her ignoring Ai, I immediately began to speculate she was a jerk or that Ai was just imagining it. I watched again, and I really could say Koito was a bit....weird. It was said that she created trouble to her teacher in another school and when she was on the roof top, she said she was ârapedâ by Mr. Sawaki who I think was narrating that part(please correct me if I am wrong) Neiru also forgot about Ai? I donât know why but when my phone played âThe One that got awayâ by Katy Perry, it made that scene and Aiâs scene with Koito perfect. My thoughts were dismissed when I learned that those who were revived had forgotten who the wonder egg girls were.
Itâs great and all but it doesnât make sense. Did the other people forget they died or did they just act like they didnât die? Like the girls, their memories were replaced.
My friend thought Neiru was Koitoâs sister since they both forgot who Ai was. She was wrong when we found out that it was Neiruâs younger sister, Airu, who in fact is really a jerk in real life. Should have stayed dead hon.
We then see Ai throw her phone to the ground(sayangas money) before it shifts to her sniffing a cigarette. I think she smoked, it wasnât show but it looked like it. After that scene, we see her with Rika and Momoe and Iâm glad they were still friends.
This is weâre it gets weird. Kotobuki is there, alive, in Neiruâs house but she isnât the Kotobuki of their world, sheâs the parallel version.
Okay did we need her? No. Is she irrelevant? Yes. Iâm still confused why she was there. Was this just to prove a point that there are parallel words? This is so weird and I have a lot of questions.
We now know Neiruâs whereabouts, sheâs in the egg world. Ai receives a call from her but she ignores it. After that she throws her fricking phone off the balcony. Again, in my term, thatâs a waste of money. Shea then cries in her motherâs lap about regretting doing it.
Ai then transfers to a new school, she arrives at the store where she last sees Neiru. Memories with Rika, Momoe, Koito, and her wonder egg experiences play in her mind before it shifted to a smiling Neiru. She then looks at the capsule, runs to ACCA and Uraccaâs place, and goes on her quest to see Neiru again. She then says, âAi Ohto is backâ before smiling at the camera.
And this where the credits role. Cliffhanger isnât it? We are left with so many unanswered questions and it still made us confuse.
I sat there in my office(part time), staring at the screen. âMao ra na? Sure baps. What a waste of a perfectly good ending(Is that it? Are you sure?)â I literally got a headache when I watched it.
In the last we see the four girls together smiling. They said The End before the screen faded black.
That was it. That was the end of wonder egg priority.
No more Ai. No more Neiru. No more Doggy Rika. And No more Momoe.
I still canât believe itâs over
And I still canât believe the ending was a bust.
To be honest, I think there will be a season 2, somewhere in 2022 or 2023 since Ai said she is back. But when the four girls said The End it nearly crushed my hopes.
Yet I still think there is a 25% possibility that there will be a season 2 to answer our questions. I guess it wonât happen since the production team is overworked.
Iâd give it a 6.5/10. I apologize for rating it to low.
Anyways thank you for reading, sorry if I suck at this, I still canât believe this is the special episode that we have been waiting. Honestly, itâs disappointing. I expect a lot more to be honest. But I understand the production team is doing their best and I applaud them for it. I hope they get the rest they deserve.
Also I would like to add, as an aspiring author, you shouldnât put irrelevant characters in a show or book. When I say irrelevant I mean Frill who is not needed in this show since she only appeared in one episode and Kotoboki in this episode. Frill was supposed to be a villain. To create a villain, you have to let them make cunning and make the hero suffer so they could grow not only as the hero and a protagonist but as a character in that show. The ending I want is them defeating Thanatos and living together in harmony. Also, the show is about death, why did they bring them back to life?
