I& #39;ve been trying to comprehend and pin-point exactly why I love Wonder Egg Priority so much and why the flaws everyone keeps pointing out haven& #39;t really bothered my watching experience or my opinion of the show.

This is going to be spoiler free.

So I guess we should start with the criticism, which by the way, is entirely valid and I have no plan to debate in this thread:

WEP& #39;s ending felt overly complicated, non-sensical and full of plot holes for many people.

There are simply not enough episodes to cover what they were going for. I highly doubt that the episode coming on June 29th would fix all of that. However, I simply don& #39;t mind.

While I would generally dislike this for most other shows, when it comes to WEP, I don& #39;t really mind.

WEP touches on a plethora of themes, all heavily related to traumas of different kinds. It& #39;s also surrounded by symbolism. Each episode tackled a topic. None of them really did much of anything in terms of making the story progress, but it did one thing very clearly and well.

As I was watching the show, I was simply entranced in it. From the beautiful visuals, the characters being so lovable and the themes so hard hitting, to the sheer masterful direction, I felt understood, and I wasn& #39;t alone.

WEP is simply a love letter, to victims.

Narratively, it empowers victims, gives them a voice, one many haven& #39;t found, or simply can& #39;t find. When I think of it like that, I genuinely find the show perfect, granted, on a purely subjective level, I& #39;m aware...

Realizing this also helped me understand what else, other than the visuals and direction, reminded me of KyoAni. It& #39;s because I felt the same way while watching A Silent Voice. It felt like a kind whisper that came from a warm and loving place.

"We understand, stay strong."

I like to think of WEP as a semi-episodic show. It& #39;s honestly best watched that way for me. Each episode is its own entity with its own meaningful message. This way, the show becomes so uniquely beautiful that the conclusion doesn& #39;t matter anymore, it was all about the journey.

To finish this messy thread, I just want to really clarify that none of this is something I feel YOU should agree with. It& #39;s simply my interpretation.

As the saying goes, & #39;whatever helps you sleep at night& #39;.
