The worst thing you can say about an ending is not that it’s confusing, inconclusive, or disappointing, but that the rest of the story works better without it. Wonder Egg Priority was never going to have a perfect ending. Its glut of heavy and delicate themes were tricky enough to weave together on their own, and when a volley of late storytelling curveballs pelted WEP‘s plate, its chances of wrapping everything up dwindled into the infinitesimal. However, the prospect of a double-length finale special raised my hopes that we might get pretty close to a good capstone. And even when the first half of that special turned out to be a recap, I still held out hope for those remaining 20 minutes. You can do a lot with 20 minutes.
To its credit, Wonder Egg Priority does do a hell of a lot with its finale’s runtime. Unfortunately, most of it sucks.
This episode is a disaster. Gone…
