I've seen that the Mirmo Zipang series list of dub actors is unique in the fact it uses voice actors from Texas, California, Vancouver, and New York (4 main locations of voice acting). Yet this series has never been released on DVD or shown on TV. Why would they have a cast for years when it's never been released? Is it due to the consequences of illegal downloading/fansubs/scanlations?
I assume that it was shown on TV in the Phillipines, given that "Cartoon Network Philippines" is listed as the English broadcast company. It is also possible that the cast is made up.

On the surface, Bye Bye, Earth depicts a vibrant and colorful fantasy world – unfortunately, its story is plain baffling.― When it comes to intentionally complicated storytelling, there's "good confusing" and "bad confusing."

Any potential KamiErabi possibly could've had has been thoroughly buried under heaps of atrocious writing, rigid CG, and underdeveloped characters.― If I had a nickel for every death game series (that I've seen, at least) created by highly renowned creators with at least one other super famous/popular work, but then received abysmal reception, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird ...
