Review of Wonder Egg Priority: My Priority

….yikes Now before I get into the details, I want to address that I do not blame the staff that worked on Wonder Egg Priority for the quality of this special. CloverWorks overworked their staff (some to the point of hospitalization), & thus they are truly at fault. At the time of writing this review they still have yet to event make a statement about the absurd working conditions. As for the content of the special itself…what a disappointment. Coming into this special, I was hoping to get answers. WEP ended with quite the twist in the last few episodes, and gave the viewer no resolution. Thisspecial was the chance to tie up those loose ends and provide an actual ending. Instead, what we got was approximately 30 minutes of recap and then an ending that only gave the viewers more questions.

While I am not necessarily opposed to the premise of recaps, the fact that half of this special is a recap for a 13 episode series (that already had a recap episode, mind you) is absurd. Had the recap been it’s own separate entity or had the special not been advertised as something new, I would not have had such an adverse opinion to this.

Approximately 25 minutes after starting this special, we finally get through the recap portion and reach what we have been waiting months for - some actual resolution. Or that’s what we’d get if this special made any sense. Nothing from before is answered, the characters act inconsistently with what you’d expect, and again we are left hanging and somehow more confused than previously.

Overall, the Wonder Egg Priority Special is just plain bad & I cannot in my right mind recommend this to anyone. Half is a recap, we AGAIN are left with more questions than answers, and - to my surprise - the plot fell apart even more. WEP started off with an interesting premise and beautiful art (which, granted, looks just as good in this special), but hopped on the crazy train in the last few episodes and kept going full-steam ahead for this special as well.
