Outbreak Company Episode 11 Discussion

The episode was fun but the Machiavellian plan was only half cooked. IRL if there is a high demand there will be someone to provide for it, even if Shinchi hadn't thought about it the control the japanese goverment sought would less than a year (at best) and the locals would start to create local "magic items" that mimic technological import (but run on the free mana flowing thru this world); the real plan would have been that after the introductions of ideals like "all demihumans are created equal" and "democracy" you finance a local peasant revolt (think the french revolution) giving them firearms, kill the rulers (Petrarca, this is a guillotine) and place a puppet government that sells to you their local resources on the cheap (how many would not pay top bucks for a half-elf maid? she is not a slave, she just has a contract for life with our agency).

Now that went pretty serious there. As expected Matoba and the government are planning bad things hehe XD

Pretty smart plan though. Esp since they're targeting the young generation so they can take control in the future.

Until bam! Shihichi screwed him over lol. Awesome thinking there dude ^^...Really the main protagonist and heroine in this series are awesome. Myusel is <3 and Shinichi is a really good character. Dat Myucel cheering up was adorable.

And u know shit gets real when a closed eyes character opens them. Damn those r some creepy eyes O_O...Nxt ep last. This show will be missed. Definitely biggest surprise of the season. Wonderful til now ^^

I know this is anime but in real life there is no way he wouldn't have killed shinichi when he got back to the mansion after him ruining their plans.

Lol Matoba's talk with Shinichi almost sound like he is trying to convince Shinichi to stop the Japanese government. Why would he release such important intel to him and make it sound evil and manipulative as possible? An attempt to set up a monopoly system is somehow an invasion? Right.. Matoba
If he is truely for Jap gov, he won't say anything and instead try to appeal to Shinichi patriotism. I got a in mood to write a crazy speech of what an "evil?"
Matoba would really said:
Read it at your own leisure.
"Although we are trying to pull a monopoly price mark up on goods that these people are greatly attracted to, this will ultimately improve the life of both side. They will enjoy our world's greatest entertainments, and Japan will gain access resources, oils, lands, labors, and maybe magic of a world bigger than Africa! This will usher a new age of colonialism for Japan. To achieve what we are too late to do in the 19th century. This is not greed as it is necessary to save our declining nation. Suffering from population aging, overpopulation, lack of cheap energy (Fukushima accident ruin our nuclear power future), and lack of resources, Japan is no longer the rising sun and instead is falling like a setting sun! Today, the communist China is rising fast and seeking vengeance for WWII, they are demanding to claim our Senkaku islands and its nearly sea. Threaten us everyday with their naval and air patrols, we are at the mercy of US protection because we are still not suppose to have an army. I said no more! If we are able to sell our culture for this world's resources, Japan will rise once against and possibility become the next superpower! Shinichi, join me, no, Join your nation! The future of your people is in your hand.
Little bonus, your real salary will appear in your bank account. You actually got 10X the amount of $ as long you accept this real job.
You seem to fancy that Myucel elf girl, the higher up said they can make her a full Japanese citizen if you like. She will receive the full right and protection as our people.
I know this might not be necessary to said, but we are taking good care of your entire family while you are working here. Don't worry about them.
So, what is your answer? Remember, there are thousands other love to do your job"



Dam, don't remind me that fuk up part of the real world >< so bloody.
We seen enough of that in Afghan, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt.
Yea, you are right. A real colonial method is no joke and will be lot more fuk up than this anime will dare to present. You didn't even mention drug, opium was perfect drug for UK to addict China and rob all their resources.

The way Matoba acted was very silly too - there was no point in explaining the plan to Shinichi if he didn't foresee the possibility of boy acting on his own and didn't have a way to counter him.

That raises the question if Matoba really isn't fit for his role of an invader or his plot is even more complicated.

Let's give some credit to Matoba-san, IRL if a high ranking bureaucrat tells you to get on with the show or risk becoming a liability that can be easily disposed of (and you are literally surrounded by military personal in a land far away from home), most people would shit their pants right there and accept orders (that is why people like heroes, because they do things most of us would NOT do; TBT heroes and fools are just the same, you need retrospective to say there are diferent).
