One day the
hardcore Otaku Shinichi Kanou took an online job interview that required
a thorough knowledge of anime. Even though his employer is a bit
evasive until Shinichi finds out that the job will require him to be
transported to the fantasy empire of Eldant and become a missionary of
otaku culture. Will Shinichi be able to navigate the foreign fantasy
culture or will he succumb to his juvenile lusts and commit a fatal
blunder?
Outbreak
company is simple comedy show with fantasy and fan service elements. The
show can be all over the map in terms of tone and theme as Outbreak
company can switch from a boob joke to a discussion about discrimination
without missing a beat. What makes this show worth watching is how no
single element of the show really interferes with the other elements of
the show.
I would be
somewhat hesitant to call Outbreak company a harem anime show although I
would understand if someone else did. Most of the story centers around
Shinichi, his half elf maid Myucel and the empress of Eldant Petralka
with most other characters, male or female, being minor characters. I
would also mention that the fan service in the show prevalent but not so
overwhelming that it feels like a crutch. There are also several anime
references but again this is more of a bonus than a crutch.
Make no
mistake, Outbreak Company aims to be entertainment first and foremost.
Think of it like a dessert that has some useful nutrients as well.
