Hello everyone, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am both eager and apprehensive to return to Wonder Egg Priority, after an episode that at last revealed the original crimes of Acca and Ura-Acca. Like all of Wonder Egg\u2019s malevolent adult villains, the pair saw young women merely as objects built for their entertainment, toys to be roughly handled and discarded when the interest had passed. However, they took this idle fascination a horrifying step further, actually <\/span>designing<\/span><\/i> the young Frill \u201cjust for fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The audacity of their crime echoed across their lives, though the two remained untouched themselves, and clearly indifferent to the moral wretchedness of their choices. When Azusa and her pregnancy took command of their attention, they discarded Frill without a care, seeing her as a trifle whose purpose had passed. Fabricated nature aside, Frill was treated little differently from this series\u2019 abused protagonists – and like them, she ultimately struck back against her jailers, stealing their new happiness by killing first Azusa, then her daughter Himari.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is tragic but not surprising that other women paid the debt of Acca and Ura-Acca\u2019s crimes. Even after all they had done to betray her, she still hoped to regain her fathers\u2019 love, or at the very least to be acknowledged as a person. \u201cDon\u2019t pretend not to see me,\u201d she begged. \u201cI was born from the two of you.\u201d But rather than acknowledge their daughter and their crimes, they chose to define her as a malignant, unreachable \u201cother\u201d – a detested symbol of female agency, now hunted by whatever other girls they can con into their service. Though they have saved their own precious friends, Frill remains trapped within the system Acca and Ura-Acca created, lashing out in defense of the only humanity she was ever afforded. Let\u2019s see if our heroes can save her!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 11<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our cold open sees Ai jogging up the park stairs in what appears to be the early morning, a sensation relayed through the cold colors and stark sound design. Wonder Egg Priority is always quite good at evoking the atmosphere of these lonely moments, a crucial strength for conveying the lived experience of Ai\u2019s life. As a perpetual outsider, she is also a keen observer of others – this quality is what brings a sense of awe to the OP, and also what makes the felt experience of these moments seem so clear<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the crew await her at the summit. The apparent chill of this gray dawn is ideal for this moment of clarity, as all of them realize who they\u2019ve actually been serving<\/span><\/p>\n

An interesting choice to convey their argument from a great distance, a slow pan towards the summit. On the one hand, it neatly emphasizes the estrangement they now feel towards each other, as we cannot even read their expressions. On the other, it\u2019s also likely a symptom of this production\u2019s desperate late-season circumstances, which ultimately necessitated both a recap episode and delaying the finale entirely<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wonder Egg Priority was always a bit of a moonshot project, spearheaded by young artists attempting to create something they considered genuinely meaningful, regardless of how it aligned with broadcast trends. I\u2019d respect it for that even if it didn\u2019t possess so many other strengths; the distance between anime\u2019s potential as an artistic medium and realization as a commercial one is enormous, and we desperately need creators willing to push back against the trend of shonen and isekai being the \u201cprestige adaptation genres,\u201d two genres that almost by definition will never have writing to match their animation<\/span><\/p>\n

Momoe refuses to apologize for retreating into her shell and not warning the others about the intruders. She\u2019s had enough; in the wake of this new trauma, she is now denying even the solidarity of their group, their traditional defense against the horrors of this world<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you call out to me?\u201d A tragic question, implying she\u2019d be better off dead than having suffered through this<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rika is of course turning her fear and frustration into rage and a call for revenge, her usual method of sanitizing her least desired feelings<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s leave together.\u201d Neiru, the friend who was the hardest won, is also the most loyal to the end. Having passed through her personal gate of letting her friend go with Ai at her side, their bond remains strong<\/span><\/p>\n

Ai continues with her egg trials, but now refuses to risk Leon\u2019s life, so Acca releases him instead<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But this time, the girl in the egg is Ai herself!<\/span><\/p>\n

God, this OP is still so good. Few showrunners understand the depths of depression well enough to so clearly convey what a <\/span>good<\/span><\/i> day feels like in that context, a day when the world around you feels full of promise rather than regret. It is remarkable how well this OP conveys the experience of depression even through its absence, through one of those days where the dull pall has lifted, and everything seems so bright and glittering<\/span><\/p>\n

Acca and Ura-Acca casually explain that parallel worlds split off from ours when we make or don\u2019t make certain key decisions. I also appreciate how cavalier this show is about its mechanical scifi apparatus – the worldbuilding works purely in service of the characters, not the other way around. It thus allows for this remarkable conversation, where a version of Ai who couldn\u2019t go on might just inspire our own Ai to keep fighting<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to apologize. I understand.\u201d It is not \u201cstrength\u201d that makes us avoid that choice, and not cowardice that leads us to it. Life is difficult. We find what consolation we can, or we fail to – so it goes<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Ai swiftly discovers what separates them: this other Ai never met Koito, and thus was never given a duty to fulfill that kept her going<\/span><\/p>\n

This conversation feels like a variation on Shinji\u2019s train conversations with his inner self. Many of our greatest modern anime are continuations of Evangelion\u2019s discussions, like Flip Flappers or Monogatari<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you\u2019re happy?\u201d Ai has tears in her eyes as she replies, \u201cyep, super happy.\u201d A clear contrast between them: the Ai who killed herself has basically no affect, having sunk into that emotionless void of depression, while our Ai still contends with the peaks and valleys of feeling happiness and sorrow, the pain of having something to lose<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ve gotten stronger.\u201d We see our first smile from this alternate Ai, as she realizes what she is truly capable of through our own Ai<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s basically an extension of the show\u2019s usual episodic bonds – these girls in the depths of despair being comforted by our heroes, who\u2019ve been close enough to the edge to be genuine relatable confidants. Hearing \u201cjust get happier\u201d from someone who has never suffered from depression never feels like encouragement – it feels like further condemnation, like you are being judged for some fundamental deficiency, or for a \u201clack of trying\u201d or something. In contrast, hearing that things might get better from someone who\u2019s actually been where you\u2019re standing can inspire hope, since they at least can understand the true weight you\u2019re carrying<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As always, their final destination is the site of suicide, this time the school pool<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Sawaki is the monster this time<\/span><\/p>\n

Ooh, lovely cut back to this other Ai afraid of going to school, and her mother gently asking her to help with the house chores instead – an acknowledgment of her pain, and invitation to find some other way forward, some way she can usefully occupy her attention. This show really has a mastery of meaningful silences<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cArt is an explosion!\u201d Was that a goddamn Naruto reference, Wonder Egg<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are easy to fool when you\u2019re born handsome!\u201d I suppose it do be like that<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Ais fall beneath the surface of the pool. Our Ai reaches out as blue paint begins to saturate the water<\/span><\/p>\n

Only one Ai rises from the water, led by an image of Koito<\/span><\/p>\n

Sawaki\u2019s speech articulates her alleged inner thoughts: her guileless love of her teacher, her repulsion at the \u201cdirty love\u201d of adults, and her determination to kill herself before such a transformation could happen to her. I imagine she\u2019s still trapped in this Wonder Egg Sawaki\u2019s poison, her mind infected by the same ideals of purity and desecration that compel these predatory men to see young girls as their quarry<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Led to the edge by this false Koito, her mother\u2019s voice calls her back, saying \u201cI\u2019ll support you no matter what, Ai.\u201d It means so much to have those words actually spoken out loud, particularly within these deep wells of self-hatred. Not \u201cyou\u2019re going to be okay,\u201d but \u201cI will always be beside you\u201d – even if the road is ugly, even if we\u2019re always broken like this, there are people who will still care about us<\/span><\/p>\n

And with her mother supporting her, Ai has the strength to challenge this alleged Koito\u2019s philosophy. Saying you\u2019ll stay pure forever is nice, but \u201cyou regret it, don\u2019t you?\u201d That moment of clarity at the end, the view from halfway down – in that moment, you can see all the precious things that even in your despair you were taking for granted, all the bright roadside wonders Wonder Egg celebrates in its opening<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI regret it. I want to see Mom!\u201d There is still something in this world worth living for<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastical apocalyptic imagery, a world-spanning retread of the first episode\u2019s roof battle as Ai breaks through to her own isolated, abandoned self. And now they\u2019re both wearing the school uniform, an acknowledgment of how alike they are – our Ai hasn\u2019t actually escaped her own self-destructive feelings, but goddamnit she\u2019s working on it<\/span><\/p>\n

You could likely do a deeper dive on the significance of water in Ai\u2019s story, given this Ai\u2019s association with the pool relative to our original Ai\u2019s association with that rain jacket. It served as a shield against the sorrows of the world, but now she stands unafraid, concealing nothing<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was always worrying about me where I couldn\u2019t see, so I wouldn\u2019t know.\u201d A heartbreaking admission by Ai – her mother didn\u2019t wish to worry her, but that likely just made Ai assume she wasn\u2019t thinking about her at all. Only honest communication can bridge the gap, and we must attempt it before we lose the chance<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m done with the me that craved attention. I\u2019m going to believe! If I don\u2019t, I can\u2019t protect anyone! Can\u2019t love anyone!\u201d Such brave words! Rising from despair and dependence because she knows there are others like her out there, others who desperately need a hand to reach out to them. She\u2019ll believe there\u2019s a better future because she has to, because she knows her life is worth more than that, because she knows she can be important to others<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, choosing to <\/span>believe<\/span><\/i> we are stronger does not actually, instantly change us – it is simply the act of committing to a practice, a determination to keep walking forward. As such, when Koito disappears, it is crucial that other Ai is still here to comfort our sobbing heroine<\/span><\/p>\n

Ai promises to become strong enough to be a true Warrior of Eros, to fight Thanatos and save this other Ai as well. In Wonder Egg Priority, it is not the existence of strength that is most crucial, but the belief that you can <\/span>become<\/span><\/i> stronger – that if you keep living, one day you might find a happier self<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And other Ai promises to become strong as well, though as our Ai points out, they\u2019re actually the same person. A goofy form of assurance that change is indeed possible, that she could one day feel different from how she does now<\/span><\/p>\n

Another of Frill\u2019s disciples appears, this one with a long name that Ai shortens to Kirara<\/span><\/p>\n

Over at HQ, Ura-Acca accuses Acca of not actually caring about Frill, and only wanting to save Himari. They are united in their possessive contempt for women, but otherwise distrusting of each other at this point<\/span><\/p>\n

And other Ai gets an unfortunate chance to prove her bravery immediately, as she protects our Ai from Kirara<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

God, what a brutal episode! What an uplifting episode! Both at once somehow! Though I suppose that makes sense – diving so deeply and accurately into the lived experience of depression and self-hatred, into that moment when you really feel nonexistence would be preferable to the continuous struggle for a reason to live, will necessarily make for a harrowing dramatic experience. But of course, the very intensity and acuity of that portrayal made Ai\u2019s rise into defiant survival all the sweeter, as she recalled her mother\u2019s quiet yet unerring support, and chose to make herself a similar hero for those living in despair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even then, the transformation wasn\u2019t dramatic or consequential – it was simply a change in mindset, a prayer to keep going in hope that eventually your legs get a little stronger, your path gets a little easier, and maybe you find some friends to share the load. I was sobbing all through that episode\u2019s back half, but I feel invigorated nonetheless, basking in that unique, irreplaceable warmth of feeling genuinely seen by a work of art. It is such moments that inspire me in turn, that serve as my own guide along this wandering trail, and that give me hope for the future. I\u2019ve dedicated my life to sharing that joy, and I treasure every story that reminds me of how wondrous art can be, how powerfully it can acknowledge and celebrate every sad, twisted, and eminently beautiful aspect of human nature.<\/span><\/p>\n
