Wonder Egg Priority
A beautiful, raw, rattling ride focusing on human trauma in a non-pandering way. For about 70% of the way, then has a disappointing finish.

Wonder Beat Scramble - Pilot & Profile
https://nyaa.si/view/1411392 Fansubbing credits can be found in the torrent description in the above link. Here's a little something I've ...
Wonder Egg Priority – 01
「子供の領分」 (Kodomo no Ryoubun) "The Domain of Children" "Break the egg and change the world".
Wonder Egg Priority – 02
「友達の条件」 (Tomodachi no Jouken) "The Terms of Friendship" Some of the novelty might have worn off since the first episode. But Wonder Egg Priority remains every bit as intriguing.
Wonder Egg Priority – 03
「裸のナイフ」 (Hadaka no Naifu) "A Bare Knife" Wow. I can't even begin to imagine living with that kind of crushing guilt.
Wonder Egg Priority – 06
「パンチドランク・デー」 (Panchi Doranku Dee) "Punch Drunk Day" I feel like we can't trust the adult men in this show - be it mannequins or guidance counselors.
Wonder Egg Priority – 07
「14才の放課後」 (Juuyon-sai no Houkago) "After School at 14" It impresses me how Wonder Egg Priority doesn't shy away from exploring heavy concepts like self-harm and suicide, by handling these subjects…
Wonder Egg Priority – 09
「誰も知らない物語」 (Dare mo Shiranai Monogatari) "A Story No One Knows" I think we all need a moment to digest what happened in that episode.
Wonder Egg Priority – 11
「おとなのこども」 (Otona no Kodomo) "An Adult Child" Well, the plot certainly didn’t move in a direction that I expected.
Wonder Egg Priority – 10
「告白」 (Kokuhaku) "Confession" Panic, nooooo!
Wonder Egg Priority – 04
「カラフル・ガールズ」 (Karafuru Gaaruzu) "Colorful Girls" I didn't think Wonder Egg Priority could get any better. Yet here we are.
Colorful ~ The Motion Picture, Colorful, WONDER EGG PRIORITY
Wonder Egg Priority – 05
「笛を吹く少女」 (Fue o Fuku Shoujo) "The Girl Flautist" Something tells me those mannequins aren't engaging with the girls in good faith.
Wonder Egg Priority – 12
「負けざる戦士」 (Makezaru Senshi) "An Unvanquished Warrior" I don't think we can call that a real ending. But Wonder Egg Priority has still been an incredible journey.
