Additionally, rumors suggest that Bye Bye, Earth will have more than the already confirmed eight episodes, possibly airing as many as 20. If this is indeed the case, it is likely that the episodes will run in two separate cours with a break in between, as has been seen with other anime.
What is Bye Bye, Earth About?
Bye Bye, Earth takes place in a post-apocalyptic world that has been ravaged by mutation. Normal humans are all but extinct, replaced by hybrid combinations of humans and animals.
Bye Bye, Earth tells the story of Belle LaBlac, who is born an outcast in a world comprised of anthropomorphic animals. Given the name “Faceless,” Belle is determined to uncover the truth of her origin and find others like her. This leads to her embarking on a journey to unravel the mystery of her existence, unaware of the many obstacles and adversaries that stand in her way. Fortunately, Belle is a very skilled fighter and wields the massive sword Rundling, which will no doubt come in handy during her perilous quest.
Bye Bye, Earth premieres worldwide July 12th on Crunchyroll.
