On Monday May 2, Funimation will release Limited and standard Blu-ray editions of the series Wonder Egg Priority. The Limited Edition (pictured) will include a 60-page art book, five art cards, four enamel pin badges and four stickers.
Funimation streamed the series, and it describes the story:
"This is the story of Ai, an introverted girl whose fate is forever changed when she acquires a mysterious “Wonder Egg” from a deserted arcade. That night, her dreams blend into reality, and as other girls obtain their own Wonder Eggs, Ai discovers new friends—and the magic within herself."
Scriptwriter Shinji Nojima was credited for the original work, and also wrote the scripts after penning such live-action series as KōKō Kyōshi (High School Teacher), Ie Naki Ko (Homeless Child), and Takane no Hana (Born To Be A Flower or Unattainable Flower). The Wonder Egg Priority project marks his first time writing for anime. Shin Wakabayashi (22/7: The Diary of Our Days, promotional video for Boku wa Robot Goshi no Kimi ni Koi wo Suru novels) directed the anime at CloverWorks. Saki Takahashi (animation director on Her Blue Sky) designed the characters, and also served as the chief animation director. Hiroyuki Ueno (NTV) and Nobuhiro Nakayama (Aniplex) were the planning producers.
