Light Novel 'Outbreak Company: Moeru Shinryakusha' to get TV Anime Adaptation (Confirmed to Air Fall 2013)
| According to the latest issue of Shonen Magazin, the light novel "Outbreak Company: Moeru Shinryakusha" will get a TV anime series adaptation. The novel is written by Sakaki Ichirou and 5 volumes have been published, with volume 6 coming out on May 2nd. Staff and schedule information are not available yet. This is the summary of the story: Having a light novel author father and an eroge illustrator mother, Kanou Shinichi is a thoroughbred otaku. However he does not have any special power except for his broad knowledge, sharp insight, and impeccable instinct about "MOE" and its products, from manga to anime to games to light novel to figures. One day he found himself transported to a fantasy world where elves live and dragons fly. And he is given a task—not to fight monster or embark on a quest, but to enhance cultural exchange by becoming a "moe missionary" in this fantasy world! He meets a palace guard who has a bit of fujoshi taste, a half-elf maid, and the empress who is a little girl. He comes up with the idea of building a school. At first it runs as a comedy but later there are serious matters that Shinichi needs to face: ethnic discrimination, social problems, conflict with neighboring countries, sabotage by opposition elements including Japanese government, etc. Can he overcome the obstacles, successfully bring "moe" culture to the fantasy world, and help the people there as well?

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Sounds like trash |
| THAT PLOT. +That plot *ifuknowwhatImean* |
| Ha ha.. I am waiting to see how many fall for the "moe bait" and come here to trash the anime and the LN. I guess we have just got it started... |

| It's kind of a mix of Ixion Saga DT and Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| What!!? Need more information |
| This sounds like it'll either be painfully bad or incredibly good. 3-episode rule, do your thing... |
 |
| DAT plot is ridiculous... so ridiculous that I want to watch it! XD |
| Wow, that synopsis is pure awesomeness. Will watch. Definitely. |
  |
| Saving the world by moe? I'm in. inb4 moe is killing anime, shit taste general, etc. The works. |
 |
| The only moe missionary is me. Either way, why not? Maybe it'll be fun. |
 |
| Dat PLOT... XD |
| This has the potential to be funny as heck or a complete train wreck... I'll have to watch to find out which it is... |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| oh hi development. Interesting to see people bashing it as moe and eventually reviews talk how we should give it more chances when it is really about development. |
 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| What's with that plot? I don't think I've ever heard of something so, err, 'I'm gonna need to watch it to believe it' odd. |

Whew, that one's pretty unique too. Sometimes it seems like it's all one big contest to see who can come up with the weirdest plot. |
|
| It is weird ... but sounds interesting. |
| This definitely sounds interesting. I feel like I would like it, but it would piss me off at the same time. |
 |
| sounds interesting. |
  |
| Interesting synopsis, could be good. |
 |
| Sounds interesting. Will check it out. |

Whew, that one's pretty unique too. Sometimes it seems like it's all one big contest to see who can come up with the weirdest plot. That's why I love Japanese entertainment. It goes above and beyond on weird shit. "a half-elf maid" YESSSSS!!!!! |
Red_Keys said: This definitely sounds interesting. I feel like I would like it, but it would piss me off at the same time. Yeah, I feel the same. It's probably because this genre tends to frustrate me a bit. I'll watch it though. |
| Sounds kind of sad. Like catering to low self-esteem of otaku. Are they really so ashamed of themselves to need story about fantasy world convenient enough to need people just like them? |
Ii tenki desu ne... |

Antanaru said: Such stories are not new, from "Densha Otoko" to "OreImo", there are novels/light novels that cater to the need for otaku to seek recognition, and those stories happen in real world (which you could argue is as much a fantasy world anyway).Sounds kind of sad.

|
| That plot is ridiculous and the characters are even more ridiculous, it's flat out chaotic overall. I want to see this. |

Amazing plot!! Why don't the author just flat-out saying that what the protagonist is doing for fantasy land is what millions of closeted Otakus are dreaming to do for this world: spreading their love of fluffy cutie Japanese characters to the general population?! Here you go, by the power of Haruhi, a world is made with every inhabitant has tsundere feeling for moe. Your job is to convert them into avid followers!! Throwing in ethnic discrimination, social problem, conflict with neighboring countries and we have a perfect Sim Moe. This is a story "written by Otaku for Otaku" just like what SAO is for RPG gamers. The anime has an amazing potential if it is handled right. Am I looking at the next Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai? Not to say I have never entertained with that idea myself. "Make anime, not war" certainly has a nice ring to it xD |

| Sounds good. I am in. |

| Well... the plot is unique enough to make me expect sth. |
| Signature |
| Anime seriously needs more Otaku stories & protagonists ( There are some, but not enough in my taste). It can make even the shittiest story into something worth watching. |
 |
| The story seems both ridiculous and interesting. I'm in! |
