| * sighs and eyerolls Ugh. Never been a fan of opening scenes that jump in the middle of a story just to be taken back for a bit and then have the same opening scene be part of a resolution in that same episode. You could just take out that initial scene out of the episode and nothing would alter the story at all. It bugs me a lot how well detailed the main heroine Belle and her teacher are in terms of visuals and it pains me that every single beastman looks so unpolished and lack of detail. I acknowledge that drawing a dozen of each race it's quite a heavy load for animators, but it's something that could had been tackled with smarter cinematography, like closeups that only hold 2 or 3 characters at most, or grayed out silhouettes with horns and pointy ears in the backgrounds. The show tries really hard with it's teary scenes and sad music to tell it's audience, "hey this is sad, you must be sad for the main protagonist". But the main problem with this direction choice is that we barely know the main heroine, it's hard for someone like me to care for her at all despite her unfair treatment from the beastmen. There's also the linkage or progression in scenes. We see Belle running away in tears in her early age, and all of a sudden she just pops out inside a castle and calls a random sword her friend. Makes you wonder how the hell did she get in so easily despite the various guards. There's also the big amount of info also shown in subtitles about their jobs and places Belle should go. It's just a really bad idea to bombard the audience with so many details that should be presented more organically later on. To me it feels like this episode should had been labeled as episode 0 and should had been presented as a prequel episode after the the 1st cour should have ended in order to give better context to all these creatures and dumb actions that make no sense (like Belle taking her top off because it makes her lighter). I'll watch one more episode and choose if it's worth to keep watching it. So far it feels just being anime for the sake of being anime. |

I watch plenty … 😂

| @ejleon If you think this screams "political agenda", then still, you should watch more. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
jasohn said: ejleon said: Maybe you don’t get what I’m saying, because it right away starts off with political undertones Mind elaborating on what specific political stuff you're referring to? Human female is looked down upon because she is not a man She ostracized because she doesn’t look the same as the other races Even after she defeats the monster, the people don’t treat her differently and don’t recognize her work, except the leader That’s just a few … Now there are others that have similar things happen, but this one felt like right away it was just in your face. Maybe I’m wrong, perhaps I’ll watch it again when the second episode comes out |

| Oh my goodness, what an incredible premiere episode. Great soundtrack as always from Kevin Penkin. Damn the racism right from the beginning LMAO Interesting world building, also what a unique system with the "curse". I'm hooked, can't wait for the next episode. Also damn the VA list was STACKED!! Another plus point for this Anime. |

@ejleon Cannot discriminate life and politics.
| @leonardobarba true, it’s always going to be in our lives, therefore in our art, but just having a good story doesn’t need to have it |

| kinda felt rushed but still looks pretty promising |

| A story where humans are not in their own world. Unreal. Looks like isekai to me. The other one was a witch, now here's another, a swordswoman. Definitely expecting something from this, as this first episode was solid. However, there was really no need for this story to be Anthropomorphic, as I only see Beastiality at the end of this series... |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

Never seen an anime scream “political agendas” as much as this one.

| This is a pleasant surprise. Fairly decent overall. The production quality was consistent. Which is all that matters in an adventure like Belle's. Her initial scene of rushing on water. Towards the squid/kraken. Was a notable instance. 7/10 so far. |
 |
| It's not a bad first episode; I'm actually enjoying it, and I really like the world and the premise of her trying to find her roots. |

| Interesting setting... MC sounds like the "Doctor from Arknights" (who is the only Human in a world of animal people) Except, this series is obviously extremely racists against "Humans", LOL . Also, MC is Jesus? she can run on water... and she's a Vegan. Very interesting... Also Also... are you sure that's a Flower?.. those look like Octo tentacles to me... (with Blood, so the "vegis" are technically "meat"? lol?) And the "Flower" just wanted to "spread her seed" in the lake (sorta like Salmons I guess) BTW, "eating is the best way to mourn the dead" (that's just a Japanese thing tho, lol) (most other countries just eats for survival, they don't give a fuck about what they're eating) . And we got a quick flashback with the shooting star scene... that hinted the "title" of the series... I take it Belle is actually an "alien" of this world, she somehow came from Earth... aka... she's technically an Isekai if she did came from Earth and to this world. So the series title BYE BYE EARTH literally means she came from Earth and probably can't ever go back to Earth . Also... what the trial is that? makes you forget about your master? HUH? Is this what being a "Nomad" means? you have to be alone in your travels, and not having any love ones? This sounds stupid... well... their whole world setting sounds stupid to began with. When she's traveling to find where she belongs, but being a "Nomad" means you have no place to belong... . see, this is why if you're ever Isekai'd, never trust anyone, only trust yourself, everyone is a lie. (90% of all Isekai series is like this...) |
