Anime

That's a lot of katakana.

The pacing is terrible. All it has so far is gorgeous art. The world building does seem a bit interesting so I wonder if reading the source material would be a better experience. The main plot also seems like a good premise for a story. I'll watch a bit more but it's very likely that I'm going to just drop it and grab the source material before deciding if this is worth watching/reading fully.

As I watched Ok stories to show great world building. Bye Bye earth isn't one of them. The story is bad. The world building is bad.

As of episode 2 we already met at least three types of bad guys. Underdogs, Insatiable Emptiness and racists. There is so much quantity and quality isn't there. We had at least three expositions straight to the forth wall, and those expositions did not serve any function in the plot.

There are two pillars that this anime stoods upon: one is Kevin Penkin and second is this image

As I watched a YT essay recently, only one phrase comes to mind "World desperate to explain itself"

This feels somewhat pretentious.

The images of fantasy are there: Hero/heroine, gods, swords, humans with funny bits glued onto their heads

But what does it all mean?

It's different, but is it good?

I hope there's a payoff later.

I did not expect a swarm of mumm-ras.

I feel like the show could have done a much better job of introducing the city’s politics/social divide.
