A July premiere date has been revealed for the Bye Bye, Earth anime adaptation. There is also a key visual and a load of new cast announcements.
The newly announced cast members include Kouki Uchiyama as Question=Adonis, Junichi Suwabe as Loveluck-Cyan, Natsuki Hanae as Kitty=The All, Satoshi Hino as Shandy=Gaff, Saori Hayami as Cherry, Junya Enoki as Guinness, and Ami Koshimizu as Benedictine.
Bye Bye, Earth is based on the 2000 fantasy novel by Tow Ubukata, which was published by Kadokawa Shoten as a two-parter in tankoubon format. Yoshitaka Amano provided the illustrations. The story follows a solitary girl called Belle, who lacks the traits of any race. Leaving her master’s side with a special sword in her hand, Belle takes on trials in order to become a traveler.
From 2007 to 2008, the novels were republished under the Kadokawa Bunko label with four volumes and with Kim Hyung Tae as illustrator. A Shonengahosha-published manga adaptation by Ryuu Asahi began in 2020.
Crunchyroll will stream the anime in “more than 200 countries and territories.”
