I like the overall idea of what is happening right now, but I am really disappointed with the way they are showing it to us. The episode was so rushed I wondered if I didn't watch the last episode and missed something very important. 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.

There are also other issues with Japanese government's plan, but some people already explained it.

Seeing the preview my wild guess is Shinichi will preted he died in the mansion's fire and this way he will avoid the punishment of being stared by Matoba for the rest of his life. But really, many things can happen and I doubt I will be happy with the way this show ends.

Still, I really enjoyed the first 10 episodes and consider Outbreak Company one of the best shows of this season.

Better go back to brainless comedy, it's more enjoyable.

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).

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


There is no such thing as "Matoba's plot", he is nothing beyond a tool, he receives orders from above (which are probably more clueless than himself, like some game company CEOs) and it is in his best interest to show good results for all the money the government is spending, while avoid being soil by the dirty parts of the operation. He is not evil, but that does not mean he would no kill our MC if it helps his future outlook.

You are right. I don't know why I didn't notice it, but when you pointed it out, it is pretty obvious. But still, it was unwise of Matoba to talk about it if there was no reason to.

About the "Matoba's plot" phrase I used, I know he isn't the mastermind behind everything, but he was put in charge to oversee the progress of invasion. So while I find it unnecessary for him to explain the scheme to Shinichi at this point, he might have a reason to do so. But like I said it's just one of possibilities that came to my mind.

BRILLIANT. Best episode so far, my score jumped from 7 to 8.
I didn't expect such a serious note, even though there were a lot of foreshadowing.

Also the solution was a little prevedible though, but of great impact.

Oh and that cliffhanger with Matoba's bloodshot eyes was fucking creepy.

Miusel best heroine btw.

Outbreak Company reveals its meaning behind the title; I can't believe the show is ending soon. Honestly it was truly one of the biggest surprised as one said earlier. Guess that's what happens when you enter an anime without any expectations.

I definitely got that too, but I thought it might have been wishful thinking. The whole, "let's be really great so the audience wants more and we can be together again!!".. I was like, WHAT YES PLEASEEEE!

I had no expectations of this anime, but I absolutely adore it and I'm so sad it's ending. Biggest surprise of the season and a definite favorite.

Dayumm, there's some dark and serious things going on in the background.

Smart plan by the Japanese government and Shinichi's counter seemed good. However Chief seemed pissed with his opened eyes, pretty sure he'll try to kill Shinichi (or his Eldant friends) one way or another in the future.

Doubt anything serious will happen next week, really hoping for a second season.

Although, Shinichi had an idea that would stop the japanese govt. in their footsteps, the damage is already done (Otaku culture in itself). I knew from the beginning that bringing otaku culture to Eldant would be bad because with that would come machinery and use of the resources. Bye Bye beautiful environment, Hello pollution LOL. But i'm really loving this series so far. Matoba can go choke on a dick for all I care.

Well then, as I expected Motaba was trying to get them hooked into this moe thing and exploit their world for their resources, much like Columbus and the conquistador, good Shinichi idea of creating their own moe is a wise move, so now for the last episode what will Motaba do next?

Does anybody think this will have a season 2, where Motaba might do something rash?

Kind of disappointed that they go for a typical anime ending, meaning most episodes all nice and peaceful and last few episodes a plot reveals itself and the main has to solve it.
Things have been nice till now guess i have to live with that.

Shinichi's plan only works temporal he is forgetting that to run anime and games you need technology and the only one in that world that can produce the technology needed is Japan.
Making things for production of manga or light novels is available and they can develop it themselves this does mean that Eldants own technology will be making major improvements because of the Japanese interference.
Still they need some help from Japan to improve things as they are.

Leaving much room for the Japanese government to negotiate about resources and such.

One more episode to say "goodbye" to one of the most entertaining series of the season. According to the preview, speculated that possibly there may be a second season.

About the episode, it was quite complicated Shinichi, but managed to get away with him or that you think ...

Dat Plot twist... and on the 11th episode huh.

Everything's going good, and by controlling the supply of mangas, animes and light novels, problem arises.

So that's why. The story is not just your ordinary anime which goes by on what you want.

Myucel was soo damn cute, I thought shinichi would hug her, but I remembered he's the protagonist like of those harem anime's. He's too shy to express his love haaha, or it's just that he doesn't feel that way for myucel.

woah, giving petralka an idea, maybe eldant will also have their own akihabara in the end.

Dat eyes, Matoba-san is quite serious now.

And it's the last episode next week, Damn a lot of anime's will end next week. Gotta prepare for heavy feels.

Wow that got really serious for a moment there. I was right in guessing that Japan was trying to take over Eldant, but I didn't think they were doing through their culture.

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.


To be more precise, he would have asked Minori to blow his brains with a bullet and dispose of the carcass, bureaucrats seldomly get their hands dirty, that is grunt (military) work.


That is so true. I was in the military and I can see us having to off this guy for treason or something.

Their magic seems powerful, but modern technology is an even bigger unknown to Eldant. Judging by their reactions to that small-time magical bomb early in the season and how the dragon was handled in the previous episode, the only way they'd stand a chance against a full-scale invasion was if they somehow closed the portal between worlds.

It looks like Shinichi is going to have to immigrate because if he isn't already a dead man on Eldant, he definitely is in Japan. I wonder why he hasn't already asked Myucel to teach him to wield magic...

Shin'inchi's plan does seem legit, but given that he only came up with it overnight, there are bound to be some consequences. I don't think Eldant has the ability to mass-produce commercial entertainment by themselves even though they have some talented individuals. Shin'ichi claims that Eldant doesn't need the Japanese government's assistance, but even if that were the case, it's not like the government would just give up that easily. The government did stumble on a metaphorical gold mine of resources, information, and culture after all; who would let an opportunity like that pass? Europe sure didn't waste any time getting on boats to colonize the Americas at the expense of its natives, and the United States sure didn't waste their time trying to "find Weapons of Mass Destruction" (i.e. get oil).

I don't think this can easily be resolved with the one episode we have left. However, given that the complexity of this situation is at a higher level than the typical lighthearted comedy/drama anime, the series could do well with a second season. I don't know how faithful this series as a whole was to the light novel, but in this case I doubt it matters because the anime writers can do a lot with what they've already shown us. I'd be really disappointed if they decide to end it here.

OMG Matoba opened his eyes. Never make characters who always close their eyes open them.
Something big is gonna happening now.

I had the same thought that Eldant should produce their own Mangas/Animes. xD
