Outbreak Company : This really is another world

Episode 5

We have an artist in our group now as Elbia the Werewolf from Bahailm joins Kanou on his quest to spread Otaku Culture to the masses of Eldant!

***SPOILERS***

How does natural hunting instincts help with her drawing? I don't get that but it is nice to see that it isn't all happy days and that she draws to stop her natural instincts coming through.

Wow... Just wow. So they all eat together it is quite funny to be honest.

We get a history of cute girl video games. Romilda is the name of the female dwarf Dwara is the male dwarf (who sounds about 100 too not 10!) I'm personally not sure what the point of that game was to be honest. Minori just wants him to teach BL. Well she would. She also ships Kanou and Garius.

So Elbia was being weird, no idea why.

Next day and the Elves and the Dwarves are fighting... But they are fighting about video games so I guess that is a good thing! It was quite funny though!

Petrara is..... Turning into a tsundere for some strange reason. "The otaku way sure is a twisted path" that is pretty funny! Oh no Garius is into boy love thanks to Minori. I guess I have to thank the series for helping me understandd a lot of the phrases I get mixed up with!

In the night and Elbia "attacks" Kanou and starts to lick him. She's basically in heat during the full moon... Why oh why. And he now officially has a harem!

Well he's opened pandorica's box now! The kids have all gone bonkers, he's got a harem and a tsundere Supreme Ruler who has a crush on him and is trying to be nice... Oh and her cousin who has been turned onto boy love is in love with him by the looks of it.

Just another day for the otaku missionary!

I guess it is one way to bring the kids together, get them bickering over something they all enjoy. I did love watching the realisation that the kids aren't at each others throats any more about important things like social status, race etc but instead are at each others throats about which computer game or snack is the best one.

As for Elbia and her being on heat... What did I really expect? I was just a little naive to think that it was going to be anything different really wasn't I?

The world is getting crazy now but I'm enjoying it and its fun to see these characters starting to take to the Japanese way of life not only Otaku way of life.

Kanou has no real control over anything any more either he's just along for the ride, its pretty fun.

What I'd like to see is what this is all doing to adults? I mean their parents won't be able to read or write, their kids will have changed from doing what was right for them to doing something completely different and in a way as fun as the lifestyle is it isn't important to their culture. It won't help them get work, it won't help them do anything, in fact it takes away from a lifestyle that is more to do with work and keeping alive then having fun.

The anime really needs to show the wider impact Kanou is having not just on the lives of this small sample but other people. Why has he only got one class? And no one in that class looks like they've just come from attempting to become a solider. I do think it needs to reach out a little bit and see what else is happening in the world.

The problem is if its going to stay the way it is the joke will get old very fast it needs to have a wider view on the whole picture. The whole social unrest the ENP had with him coming in and changing things has disappeared, though by the looks of his boss it isn't going to be all roses anyway. But it would be interesting to see something happening outside of this now.

I'm enjoying the story a lot but its starting to make this vast realm that he's been thrown into very tiny and not only very tiny but also very Japanese.
