Oh, Wonder Egg Priority. You got off on such a strong start, and were even considered the best anime of the season before Odd Taxi came out. People loved your luscious animation, relatable characters, and stark presentation of serious topics. But reports of animators being overworked to the point of being sent to the hospital started trickling out, resulting in a recap episode that resulted in the show being unable to end the way it wanted to. Not only that, the show's flaws would be more and more apparent from episode 8 onward, making people question if WEP was even worth following anymore. It didn't help that episode 12 ended on a massive cliffhanger. After a 2 month delay, it was said that Wonder Egg would wrap things up in a one hour special. Fans, such as I, were absolutely stoked! The extra time would allow the animators to get back on track and end the show with a bang.
But then the special dropped and...hoo boy, it was a huge shitshow. Everyone, me included, absolutely hated it. For one, the special started off with a SECOND recap taking up half an hour, and the rest of it was just a bunch of nonsense that came right the hell out of nowhere, not only just dropping plot points it introduced, but a ton of reveals that made absolutely no sense and seemed to go against what WEP previously established, and don't even get me started on the reveal about Koito. Blegh. Basically, the show's bad writing decisions really hurt the show's overall quality, and now WEP is infamous for not only its troubled production, but for completely failing to live up to the hype it established, among other things.
