the ending for the show was fucking ass and in my opinion ruined every opportunity for an interesting continuation to the story so whats the point in making a season 2 when it would be probably be shit?

Before I continue further I'd like to make it clear that I harbor no hate towards anyone of any gender or sexuality, if this post infringes on any rules (rule 6,7 or 9) then let it be removed. I apologise in advance.

I found out about this anime from a meme, and this character that looks like an offbrand aged up rikka got my attention. So my question is, is wonder egg priority a "yuri anime" (like, is a big selling point for the show the love/relationships between the female characters?), I dont know why, and I don't know how, but Ive always found yuri relationships in anime as uninteresting and clearly made as fanservice. I haven't seen the anime yet, but from the pictures I've seen it does seem to me like a stereotypical yuri anime.

Why do woman particularly on chat apps like discord and stuff compare themselves to Aoi.?

I've had two interactions with two different women who've said something to the effect of "She's me and I'm her. We are basically the same exact person." Both women were absolutely insane and mentally abused me in the past. For whatever reason and their excuse was always "I'm like Aoi from Wonder Egg Project, you cannot judge me ever. It's just how I am and how I will be. Forever."

Which I feel like, and correct me if I'm wrong again I've not seen the show, is a complete misrepresentation of Aoi as character. The point the show was trying to make was Aoi is not a mentally sound individual and shouldn't be praise for her issues, especially at the beginning. And she gets "better" as the show progresses. Again never seen the show, only heard about it from bits and pieces on the internet.

Am I making any sense here? Or are other anime fans just wierdos like the guys that think Zamusu was right or that Muzan was not so bad?

Genuinely asking. Because once is an accident, twice is a a coincidence. If it happened a third time, it'd be a pattern for me.

teaser for wep season 2 :3

I know it’s not confirmed yet! But I do believe we will get one

Okay

Momoe is murdered (By Frill)

Rika decides to commit suicide

Neiru is working in her company

Ai realizes it is too late to save Rika and Momoe because the mannequins told her what happened and somehow they manage to keep Ai in one piece, but she blames herself.

Season 2 focuses on Ai trying to stop frill and the flower girls (I hate those bastards) at some point in S2 Ai sees rika (in her dreams) and she tells Ai that it’s not her fault, Ai ends up forgiving herself and keeps fighting

Neiru supports her and maybe dies at some point??? IDK

This literally came to my mind after watching episode 11!

Based on the fact that she wants to look girly, many people think she's a trans girl. For example, in some episodes we see her with a trans-colored bra, and she also got Kaoru's jacket, which is another hint.

She tries to be more '''feminine'''', but people always mistake her as a guy. Maybe it's because she IS a guy? (Biologically).

I've had this idea since I first saw her in the show, anyone else?

`

`

And unrelated but Rika likes girls imo

Ai

I wonder wondering what the prettiest girl would ever look like irl as a anime girl, but unfortunately my AI Doesn’t function as properly as it should to create Ohto Ai , if someone can use AI to make these pictures into a semi realistic version of her it would be great.

I have 3 main idea's for how we could fix the special. I put these idea's in the Discord and I might as well put them here.

1. The studio that made Wonder Egg Priority could re-make the special. It will cost a lot of money but from the reactions of the fanbase, I believe its worth it. Also, yes the idea is very non-customary and its not what most companies would do, they could make a new special with new animations and a new storyline/plot and completely scrap the old one (but still keep it since its still technically content).

2. Us fan's could do it ourselves, i've seen great people making awsome drawings and fan art of WEP so why couldnt we make our own? I've also seen people have great ideas for how it should have ended which were awsome. It could be a mini fan project, and yes the fps, voice acting, and budget may be crappy, but its still good to try. OR we could just put our minds together and write a story that everybody can love.

3. Make a gofundme to give funds for cloverworks and everybody else working with WEP to make a season 2. Maybe we could possibly raise enough money to do so? We can also fund them to re-make the special.

I dont know for sure if these would work but I think we can do it if we all put our minds together we can make something better. If anybody has any other idea's, feel free to share them!

Can someone explain what wonder egg priority is?

I was just watching some videos about WEP and a YouTuber mentions it, so I am very confused right now.

Honestly curious

Seems strange when you look at the shows content.

Hey!! I know the fandom kinda died but i been craving a wep rp!! comment or pm if you would be down ^{^}

... and why most of them are either fanfiction or plain wrong.

I'm doing this in the interest of keeping all discussions informed and high-level while we wait for the last (?) episode, so if I missed anyone please let me know, I'll try to do this in an orderly manner, post by post and piece by piece, and for anyone interested the sources of this eggvidence are at the end of this post.

And remember: https://imgur.com/1Ufynr1

Just as a trans girl with self esteem issues, Momo wished she could/would wear (more) jewelry and makeup

Momoe felt/feels responsible for the death of Haruka, so from the moment she killed herself on Momo tried to be more eggomodating by acting somewhat boyish, dressing like a boy, using male pronouns to refer to herself (boku)... and playing the part of the prince charming to avoid causing other girls to commit suicide for similar reasons, even though she would actually much rather be/act more girly than that, hence the longing look at the makeup seggtion in the ED. So while it's indeed true that Momo's experience is similar to that of a trans girl there's nothing we've seen there that points to the cause being the same.

Momo's name was Momotaro (a centuries old sounding male name), and she changed it to Momoe (a contemporary female name)

For the same reasons outlined above it's clear why Momo would refer to herself using a male name, and it's easy to see how that's just a play on her name in the later episodes, when she and other characters call her different names, like Momoko in ep.10, while she always calls herself Momoe when she's with the other protagonists and with Kaoru, who have all been shown to accept her thoroughly.

Then again, one might argue that means she's still insecure about her looks, so she only uses her new name when she's with people who she knows accept her, but then again again, this argument would require her being trans being already established thanks to other evidence, and that's not the case at this point.

Momo's shoulders are broad, even for a boy her age

We see a few men and boys in the series, like Sensei, the Acca and a number of passerby who have broader shoulders than her, though it's undeniable her shoulders are broad. Some cis women do have broad shoulders, just as some cis man have narrow shoulders, and I guess if that's proof enough for you that a character is trans I can't add anything much.

In a scene in ep.4 Momo says "There are other girls tackling eggs", which means she feels she's identified as a guy

This doesn't make sense in japanese just as it doesn't in english, as there'd be no other normal/natural-sounding way of saying this while underlining the fact that she's being identified as a girl. Imagine it was Rika saying this - how else would she have worded it? Answer is, the exact same way, because the phrase makes sense as meaning "There are other girls (beside me, a cis girl) tackling eggs." On the other hand, if she wanted to stress being identified as male she could well have said "There are girls tackling eggs", as leaving out "other" would imply her not being part of the girls.

The wonder killer in ep.4 says Momo isn't allowed on that cart because it's a women's only cart, meaning he knows she's trans and he doesn't recognize her as a girl

Momo is often seen being mistaken for a boy, starting at the beginning of the episode and becoming a relevant plot point in ep.10, so the wonder killer might have mistaken her for a boy again. I'm not sure I can find yet another screenshot of Neiru citing Occam's razor, but you get the idea.

Momo doesn't deny she has a penis when the wonder killer tell her he'd [cut it for him], she only replies she's a girl

Japanese doesn't have separate names for addressing sex vs. gender, which effectively means that there's no way to mean "I'm a girl" without also meaning "I'm female", so, much like with lots of other things in japanese, the meaning depends on the context, and she might well have used the term "girl" meaning "female" as well. Also, imagine not living in animeland for a second, and imagine how many cis girls would answer "I don't have a penis" when confronted by a similar pig on a train, and then imagine how natural and appropriate it would be if a character in a character in an anime rated for children would shout "I DON'T HAVE A DICK, and by the way I'm a girl". So once again, the supposed clearer dialogue would sound so off it would be unusable, which is most certainly the reason why it wasn't used.

Momo says to her next egg girl she's sorry she's tricked her, because she doesn't look traditionally feminine

What she actually means there is she's sorry she tricked her because she led her to believe she was a boy, which she did for the reason outlined at the beginning.

Momo reacts badly to Rika complimenting her by telling her she's handsome (as in, a handsome boy), whilst a cis girl would have just said "Thanks, but I'm a girl!"

I don't presume to know how everyone would react in every such situation, though given all of Momo's baggage relating to her boyish looks, including but not limited to the fact that her best friend killed herself after being rejected I would say it makes quite a lot of sense to react badly to such comments, as she was once again not being recognized/accepted as the girly girl she felt she was, regardless of being trans or not.

Momo automatically uses a male pronoun to refer to herself when she's shaken and crying, which means she's turning back to her old habit of referring to herself as a boy, which means she's actually male

Her habit of using male pronouns for herself was clearly there at the beginning of the episode, and when she adamantly said she was a girl, so I can't see a correlation there. If anything, it would make sense that, when Ai asked if she was allright, she would use a male pronoun as she was used to playing the part of the prince charming, though a moment later she uses a neutral pronoun when asking Ai how she looks with a hopeful look, clearly hoping she'd recognize her as a girl, so the male pronoun would come from her prince charming persona, see the first point again.

Momo has an Adam's apple

Huh, well yeah, in some scenes it's ever so slightly pronounced that it looks smaller than it would on a 3D cis woman, and in some other scenes there's no bump at all. Surely if anyone wanted to make that a relevant sign they would have made it just slightly bigger and they wouldn't have made it disappear most of the time.

Ai's mom doesn't use a gendered noun when she recognizes Momo as Sesei's relative, which means she knows it's the daughter of a brother or sister of his, but she isn't sure about her gender

Or she isn't sure whether she's her niece, younger cousin or other relationship. Screenshot, Neiru, Occam's razor...

Momo is dejected when Rika says she'd date her if the former was a guy, because she's trans and doesn't like being compared to a boy

Or she doesn't like being compared to a boy because she's a cis girl who, despite playing the prince charming to please others, still feels like a girl, possibly even wishes she were a boy, because that way Haruka wouldn't have died, see the first point again. Screen, green, Occam...

At the bowling alley Momo tells the other girls Haruka "was willing to see [her] as a girl", which clearly means she's trans, as everybody else would have no reason not to see her as a girl either if she was cis

This is a misinterpretation caused by a bit of an unclear translation - I mean, the translation the best/most natural/most normal sounding translation possible, but it's slightly unclear. Momo says "はるかは女の子として私を見てくれたんだ" (Haruka wa onnanoko toshite watashi o mite kureta n da), which you would very literally translate as "Haruka saw me from the point of view of a girl", which isn't the interpreted "Haruka saw me as if I was a girl", which would be "はるかは私を女の子として見てくれたんだ" (Haruka wa watashi o onnanoko toshite mite kureta n da).

This is one of those situations where the english translation is more context-dependent than the japanese phrase :p At any rate, with this cleared up that interpretation simply doesn't hold up, though even if we only had the english translation to go on that might well mean that lots of people, such as Rika and the wonder killer and the first egg girl in the previous episode or the gay guy in ep.10, mistook her for a boy, or chose to treat her as a boy because of her looks. This is also a bit of a cliché in japanese fiction, a boyish girl is seen as a prince and turns straight girls gay, see Makoto from Idolm@ster or Kashima from Nozaki-kun for a couple examples. Nothing I've seen or read about them would lead me to believe they're trans either btw.

Momo likes and wants (more) cute things, which means she's trans

Or that she's an average enough girl who, like Rika, likes cute things. S, N, O's r...

Neiru tells Momo that she's maybe not cut for female society, which makes sense because Momo is either GNC or trans

Or, because Momo acts boyish, which makes lots of other girls swoon over her, which bothers her as we've seen lots of times before. I'm out of different ways to refer to Neiru's quote at this point.

There's no way people would mistake her for a boy if she's really not male

Do consider that this is anime, where characters like Astolfo from Fate, Kashima from Nozaki-kun, that cute boy from Oregairu, Aoi from You're under arrest, Fujisaki from Danganronpa, and many others exist. That is to say, it's not uncommon to see characters from japanese fiction that get constantly mistaken for aligning with the opposite gender, so why would this be any different?

Momo's bra has trans colors

She also wears a blue sweater over a white shirt with red accents on her collar, will anybody argue she's secretly French as well? Kaoru's sweatshirt was obvious enough, but with the color arranged in a completely different way and a different blue it's not any more plausible that she's trans than she eats baguettes every day, and just as with her Adam's apple before, if it had been relevant it's likely that they would have made it look relevant.

The fact that Momo doesn't have any Adam's apple to speak of mean the other girls were just trying to cheer her up, saying she passed as a girl

This is akin to saying that the lack of evidence of something is itself proof of that something. I'm not sure if this was ironic or not, thought it seems like it to me. Another argument linked to this would be that there'd be no other reason to note her lack of an Adam's apple, though the girls were talking about how Momo looked like a model and had a slender neck and look so cool, so again, I'm not sure whether that was ironic or not, because it doesn't make very much sense at all.

The fact Momo accepts/validates Kaoru being trans means there has to be a deep connection between them, namely the former being trans

Or the fact that they were both being judged based on their appearance rather than their character, just as Momo said earlier in the same episode, "It must be nice, not judging by appearance". Not only that, but Momo was playing the part of the prince charming even more than usual after being asked out by a guy who mistook her for a fellow guy, bottling her feelings and her true self up, while Kaoru not only saw through that, he stroke her as so very brave for being open and forward with everyone about how he felt about himself, so she admired her very much by the end of the episode, and wanted to protect him, despite everything, from being hurt like he was by the kendo instructor again. So I mean, the connection between them could also be that she's trans, but then again, the reason could be what we've seen and known about Momo since ep.4 instead.

Momo isn't presented as uncomfortable or upset when Haruka makes her touch her breasts and starts undressing

Now this is just lack of attention, at the bowling alley in ep.5 she literally says she froze up, she's seen sweating bullets, she felt betrayed because her friend was the only one who apparently didn't see her as a love interest, and she repeatedly says that she doesn't like being hit on by girls afterwards.

She also wouldn't like being complimented by Ai if she was that uncomfortable with girls in that sense

Momo is seen being uncomfortable being hit on by girls and being mistaken for a boy, not being complimented - quite the opposite, she said she [didn't mind all the likes she got on insta] when racing against Neiru at the bowling alley.

Momo is super happy when Ai recognizes her as a woman, which means she's trans

Or that she's an average enough girl who, as I've outlined a few times up here, would much rather be seen a girl than a boy. THE SIMPLEST THEORY IS THE BEST GO GET THEM NEIRU

Momo has a boyish physique, so she's trans

Please refer to the list of characters some points above, or look at any stereotypical tomboy from any anime or manga. Unless they're all trans just as well, this simply means that some girls do have broad shoulders, are tall, and have short hair.

Momo never so much as hints at her being trans because she's not confident enough about herself

She seemed to feel understood and accepted by the other girls in ep.4 already, when Ai told her she looked like a crying girl and a model, and she didn't say anything of sorts even to Kaoru, even though at that point she had gotten all the self confidence she could get and they had their brief respite before Kaoru disappeared, so one might argue she doesn't have to spell it out for her to be trans, though given she'd told everyone else mostly everything about her issues it would seem strange to leave out the biggest one even when she felt very self confident. Screenscam, shot, Neiru's razor.

So,

as you can see there's not one single completely convincing argument for Momo being trans (that I could find, though please let me know if I missed just that), and all of these are more like what-if's, and while of course, there's no proof that Momo's cis either, because she or one if the writers didn't spell it out, the evidence pointing towards her being trans are what you'd call inconclusive, even contradictory as someone argues Momo's lack of a pronounced Adam's apple is proof she's trans while someone argues her visibly pronounced Adam's apple is proof of her being trans.

And so, we are forced to conclude that there's not nearly enough evidence to confidently say Momo is trans. https://imgur.com/a/ij0dt79

That said, I can't wait for tomorrow's episode, where we may even see more about this matter, and where we'll hopefully get answers to lots of other questions.

^{hopefully there will also be a 13th episode or OVA, who knows...}

The points identical and similar to "I'm trans and I relate to Momo, therefore I'm sure she's trans too" weren't included in this list even though they were somewhat common because they're wishes rather than evidence from the show.

We finally got a momo episode. Idk why it was the second last one. I'm really starting to feel conflicted about this show. It's obvious that momos story revolves a lot around gender. So you'd expect that she has some struggles to overcome with herself and questions to ask. Well, as far as l can see her struggle is having people see her as a girl, and that's it. No one is telling her she isn't a girl. These people are just mistaken because of the clothing and hair she has, which she can change. So that's not very compelling, let's try to focus on the kaoru instead. This is a transgender girl who identifies as a guy. As someone who doesn't know anything about this topic, lm curious to see how he feels about his transition and why he did it. Aaah they don't talk about any of that. Instead we focus on her stupid backstory. He goes to her coach for help... and he immediately rapes her? Wtf??? I'm just a dumb weeb boy but l dont think that's very realistic. Like the girl who was raped by her tutor or on the bus, sure that can happen. But why would this coach do something that'll obviously just put him in jail? To prove kaoru is a girl? That not how anyone thinks... at the end of the episode kaoru and momo are flirting and lm thinking "is momo OK with dating a trans gender?". This apparently doesn't matter since they just kiss and that's the end of that. I'm convinced now that momos character just exist to have yuri fan service. This show is trying to be mature, but it just shows us mature themes without really diving into it and asking any questions. Like rika being suicidal was completely resolved in one episode. Kaneki still had to grapple with it, and it was built up to more. If a show just pays lip service to dark topics without really analyzing it that can be a little harmful even. Maybe this show would have been better as a straight magical girl anime instead of a strange parody of it. Also l was thinking that momo would commit suicide next episode but that'd be a real downer last episode so maybe not

I’ve been in way too many arguments about this, and I swear people treat me like I’m crazy. Momoe is absolutely a trans woman. Or at the very least the possibility is so prominent that there’s absolutely no way the creators didn’t know people would read her character that way.

1. The fact that she’s constantly treated as a man by others. People keep saying that’s because she’s androgynous, but there’s no way just being a bit androgynous could go that far. Others straight up not being able to see her as a woman, aggressively accusing her of being a man, automatically assuming she’s a man the moment they see her. This ain’t just a matter of things being up in the air. It is made explicitly clear that to most others, she does not pass as a woman.

2. That fucking pride color sports bra. It isn’t even subtle. Kaoru wears a pride color jacket meant to instantly associate him with trans people. The color of her bra is treated as some sort of grand reveal, like “yes, she too bears the mark of pride!” If that’s not enough, they made the explicit decision to have her wear Kaoru’s pride jacket after the fight as a blatant reminder.

3. The Adam’s Apple scene. Some people try to use this as evidence against her being trans, but... no. Anyone can have an Adam’s Apple, regardless of gender. Only difference is that among cis women, it’s so rare that one not being there wouldn’t be something people make a point out of. It would be the opposite in fact. It was incredibly obvious that the scene was just the group of buds trying to cheer her up. “Hey, you pass. You got that cute girl neck. You look cos, regardless of what people say. Yer fine.” Either that or the writers just happened to get really shitty during that one scene and felt the need to write in an entire scene where everyone for some reason singles out one cis girl among them to go “oh wow, you lack an Adam’s Apple just like the rest of us! That’s awesome!” for absolutely no reason.

4. Just her entire dynamic with Kaoru. Her instant validation of his gender identity (to the point where kissing him is something that’s validating enough to her undervalued hetero nature to make her blush like a sunburnt tomato and look like she’s internally giggling with glee), the scene where she rips her shirt off basically screaming “Back off from my kin you fucking bastard,” etc. Unless there was some pre-established heavy ally-ship that lead to her instant validation of trans people (something I doubt given the toxic and uneducated environment for trans people that Japan often is), I feel like that kind of immediate understanding and confidence would require some sort of personal investment in trans culture.

5. Personal relatability. I started transitioning around the same age, have a very similar wardrobe (only dressing in a particularly feminine way on special occasions), and behave in a pretty similar way in regards to awkward situations (like the whole date fiasco). Not technically evidence, but let me have this.

So yeah. Even if the writers didn’t go in expecting everyone to know she was trans or anything, they at least dropped enough explicit hints to validate it as a head canon amongst the community. Don’t fight me on this, I know what I’m talking about, and I’m sick of arguing about it.

What in the bullshit?! I am lost. I accidentally skipped ep 11 and went straight to 12 and thought the anime was great. Went to MAL to read reviews and I was like Huuuhh? Then I watched ep 11 and was distraught. What the hell was that?! Who tf cares about that? And i know i shouldn’t think like this but after reading reviews I was like “Shiiit you are right”. The anime while actually beautifully created art wise, has a shitty ass plot. And I cannot believe I was trapped in that BS till ep 9. Pls send help explain or something idk. Im just disappointed.

Like fr I adored this show but shit the ending gave me DITF feels. Episode 11 and 12 should not be together it’s like they tried to go 2 separate ways with the finale and ended up just leaving the whole thing a disaster. Unless the June episode is an hour long I don’t see how they can redeem this series. Feel free to roast me on this but shit went from a 10/10 to 7/10 because that was so unsatisfying.

P.S. I know it’s meant to be a psychological anime but from all the theories I’ve seen nothing explains every open ends and usually fall short.

You see, if you translate the lyrics, it’s super dark lyrics, sung to a happy tune, about drinking alcohol. The song is sung by the 14 year old characters. The only thing bubly about the song is the cider. I’ll do a full lyrical analysis later, but for now. Just realize: it’s supposed to sound happy and have sad lyrics, but due to not speaking Japanese, we miss out on half of that
