Bye Bye, Earth

In a society of people with animal characteristics, Belle Lablac stands out as the only person with no animal features at all. Curious of her origins, Belle leaves her hometown and heads to the city of Schubertland to be awarded the status of Nomad by Schubertland's ruler, King Rawhide. Through the journey, she is trained by the legendary swordsman Sian Lablac.

Unfortunately for Belle, through a complication, she is unable to hurt others with her legendary sword Runding. The only choice to best her opponents in battle now is to break their swords, which is heavily looked down upon. Though ostracized for her appearance and hated for her disregard of societal norms, Belle stays resolute as she sets off on a perilous journey to find her rightful place in the world.

Bye Bye, Earth is a bit of a mystery in itself. The art style and animation are solid, drawing you into a world that feels both familiar and strange, and the voice acting and music elevate the whole experience. The world-building and characters stand out, too—there’s a real sense of depth here. But here’s the thing: it feels like the series needed more time to fully explore the many plot threads and elements of this unique world. Some things go unexplained, leaving you guessing and filling in the blanks.

At first, I found this frustrating, but as I watched, I began to see it as intentional—maybe ... the creators wanted viewers to interpret parts of the story themselves. There are still some points I couldn’t quite grasp, but I made my peace with it and enjoyed the ride. I’m hoping for Season 2 to dive deeper into the world, but be warned: if you prefer everything laid out clearly, Bye Bye, Earth might not be for you. But if you’re open to piecing things together and want something a bit different, this anime is worth a shot—you won’t be disappointed!

Mixed Feelings

A confusing, and wild ride. Bye Bye World is an anime filled with wonderful art, a great soundtrack, unique and interesting power systems, excellent world building, great characters, emotion, and a fascinating story. All things that would make it a masterclass anime, yet it has one grand flaw. The story is confusing and completely unexplained.

The overall design of the show is wonderful from the character appearances, personalities, world design, art style, color schemes used, music, and voice acting. The characters are very detailed and look amazing, their swords and weapons, which serve as an extension of the characters, show just as much detail as ... the main characters. The sounds of the show be it the ambient sounds of the environment, the music played or sung, and the voice acting is splendid. The soundtrack is excellent.

The power system within the show is relatively unique incorporating music and marching band formation into it. This system does not only include combat as singing is used mainly to create, repair, or control things within the world. The combat system also incorporates swordsmanship and magic. The swordsmanship is relatively realistic with more choreographed stances and fighting rather than random swinging. The combat includes excellent swordplay and visually appealing magic.

The character development and romance are ehh. Most of the development is, much like the story, not progressed too much and that which is isn’t explained all that well. It is hard not to grow attached to the many characters within the show. Most characters and character stories at the end of the story so far are bitter or gloomy so don’t expect a happy ending yet.

If you can overlook a somewhat confusing and completely unanswered story, then this show will not disappoint. I cannot recommend this show entirely since many will be turned off by the confusing and non-explained story. If you are fine with that idea and just want to watch a good anime, then this one is a great choice. Although the main downside of this show is the confusing story, season 2 has already been confirmed so maybe things will make more sense then!

'Bye Bye, Earth' has been recently regarded as the worst anime of the year. I am pretty sure the makers didn't meant it to be bad unlike those isekais that seek to make quick cash by intention but from the start to the end this animé never explained itself like the time-travelling aspect in 'Tokyo Revengers' (where did it come from to how did come even… like is this magic, technology, imagination etc or why even, like MC some son of special characters with greater duty to have these abilities?) which is the similar case for 'Bye Bye, Earth' like is this an analogy of ... being a straight person in a non-binary future or an individual to conformist or an independent to sheep that bow before salary based life in typical Japan where the abnormal consider themselves the normal? The limited number of episodes (10) certainly doesn't do justice when it's trying to flow outside of the norm where those like Frieren or Fable has 25 that pick things up eventually - Even though I can understand the character was born out of crystal instead of a normal birth while being a human, it doesn't address or answer anything to why while the entire season itself ended up finished nor lays any hope future seasons are supposed to clear this up. No one can see themselves in the story or in the protagonist to make a connection or relevance whether to be angry, excited, pleased, hopeful or even horny - like nothing. Throughout the entire season, the only emotion viewers were carrying with every episode is a state of confusion even in the most intense of scenes which is pretty bad as an animé where viewers don't expect 'how' whether from plot-armour/magic/gifted-abilities etc which in this case was constant 'why?' even in the sexual-assault scene.
