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 – 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 – 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 – 09

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.
