And in fact, he does but not only in front of a television but also on the web with his knowledge of various anime/manga and even eroge.Īs this series plays fun with the otaku culture, there should be unsuspectingly a lot of references to various anime and manga. The fact that Shinichi plays the role of an otaku can be stereotyped as a boy who spent a lot of time in front of the TV. In many ways, the show takes this idea and twists it around in a way that is fun and entertaining. After he does manage to get a job, it’s here where we find out his in-depth knowledge about various anime, manga, and Japanese culture.
Becoming an otaku isn’t exactly the best way to get over a rejection but he chooses anyways. After rejection, he tries to find a way to replace that deep hole in his life. Shinichi is your average high school boy whom has a crush on a girl.
The story of Outbreak Company is quite simple. Shinchi quickly realizes that he gets more than what he bargained. It almost feels like a dream for Shinichi but that might not seem to be as easy as he thinks. Shinichi plays the role of the main character and otaku life becomes a pivotal role in shaping such a fantasy world.

The full title of the series is actually Outbreak Company: The Moe Invader that emphasizes the spread of Japanese culture as an allusion to “invasion”. In fact, it’s being an otaku that allowed Shinichi to gain stardom in this new world where his life changes forever.Īn animated series based off the light novel of the same name written by Ichiro Sakaki. But in Outbreak Company, it plays on different trope.
Being otaku is often considered a negative influence due to its pure nature. It seems that some higher powers wants this young boy to spread the otaku culture and expands the Japanese culture in their world like never ever before. Whoever thought being an otaku can come with so many responsibilities? For Shinchi Kano, his responsibilities just skyrocketed after being set up and sent to a fantasy world. I will be listening to Univer Page for a long time to come, especially when I need a pick me up. Great anime for the fall season with an amazing soundtrack. I also really enjoyed the one part of seriousness they did in the last episode, the only time this series did the serious business right, which makes the last two episodes worth it. Multiple scenes I have laughed, and the soundtrack makes it even funnier. I found humor based around references and other things anime and manga hilarious. This anime was enjoyable because of the otaku humor. These two were added to the story and I was assuming for them to have a pretty big role for upcoming events, but nothing really happened involving them. The only problem I had was the random characters added halfway through, the dwarf and the elf. Character development was great, everyone had development outside of being interested in manga or anime. This is good since my first impression after looking at the OP was that characters would be easy to mix up. The background music does a great job at carrying the mood, with a very unique song that is used during comical parts, I already quoted the lyrics of it in the beginning of this review.Ĭharacters are given enough depth to make the memorable, and distinguishable. Both songs give off the vibe that the whole anime is trying to do, make the person watching this very happy. Watashi no Houseibako, the ED of Outbreak Company is a very soothing song and very good to listen to while running. It is so cheery and the way the song starts, eargasm. In my opinion, Univer Page, the OP of Outbreak Company is my favorite song to come out of this fall season of anime.
Castle, fields, mountains, the whole thing was pretty to look at.Ĭharacter designs weren't outstanding, but unique enough to separate characters and make them memorable. Scenery was amazing as well they made medieval times look happy and splendid. The ten episodes lacking seriousness wasn't a bad thing, the show was doing a great job with those episodes, but the last two rushed into drama and seriousness.Īrt was great! Something I found enjoyable were all the references to other shows through background art such as a parody poster of Hataraku Maou-sama. The pacing of Outbreak Company was fine up until the final two episodes, which the pacing felt tooįast as they tried cramming in a lot of seriousness that the other ten episodes lacked. We follow Shinchi as he has to spread otaku culture (Anime and Manga) throughout the lands of Eldant. This anime is a clash of modern day Japan with a fantasy land that has knights, dragons, a loli ruler, elves, dwarfs and dragons. This whole anime can be summed up by the lyrics of one of the songs that comes from Outbreak Company.
