So, Kiui Watase is AFAB but they use male or NB character as vtuber model to stream. It's a bit unclear if Kiui is transmasc or non-binary, the show never said what pronouns they prefer, so that's why i use they/them. Kiui doesn't like that people judge them by their appearance, it shows thorought out the anime. There is one scene that is especially memorable, it's culmination of Kiui's story, they said on public how they feel about their identity, it's a short one but very powerful. The anime isn't primary focused on Kiui or their gender identity but it's part of the story, you won't have the same story if you remove Kiui identity, I think it's good representation.
P.S. originally anime aired with 12 episodes, the 13 episode came out later separetely, I watched all of them, so what i said is related to all 13 episodes.
Wow! These all sound great and thank you very much for sharing!!! Funny enough, I'm in the process of watching Wonder Egg Priority and like it so far. I'm hoping the ending isn't as bad as I've heard from some corners.
Just a note on Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: it's extremely egregious yuri bait and the plot as a whole does a massive 180 after the seventh episode to turn a story about living as who you want to be despite social pressure into some tepid slop about reconciling with abusive parents and bullies and conforming to what they want instead, with Kiui's arc in episode 11 being the only part of the last 5 episodes that's actually good and matches the earlier episodes in quality and themes. The whole thing is so egregious that it genuinely feels like there was a whole, complete story planned out, some executive came in and said "no, too gay, we're rewriting it" and then either missed the trans rep or someone managed to protect that, because those last 5 episodes feel like a story that's just been 90% erased and crudely filled in with filler by a different hand.
i think Wonder Egg Priority is worth to watch, my main complain is that it leaves a lot of unanswered questions in the end
