The story of Outbreak Company is japan introducing the culture of the "otaku" to a new world they found the portal to one day. Their many efforts had failed as the many managers lacked an immerse knowledge of the "otaku" way. So the hired a shut in with a life completely dedicated to manga and anime in hopes to reap a large profit from spawning a Japanese entertainment industry to this new, under developed world they've stumbled across. A very straight forward story with the occasional twist that keeps things interesting and never lacking in entertainment.
Styles for scenery and background are astounding with detail that really capture the environment of a medieval style timeline. However for characters and other minor animated objects, the lack of detail with facial expressions when put at any distance, is very disappointing. even the use of cell shading is limited on things.
Sounds for the use of magic are something to be credited for as they are well used and each spell has a very different sound to it. as for background music, its mostly either very faint or blends in to the scene so well you hardly notice it except for lewd/fan service scenes where the music is in your face to the point where the beat of it can ruin the humor value.
Characters are played out and portrayed decent for the most part but as for back stories, not much at all is explained for anyone other than the single main character. Light topics of explanation are occasionally told but only in scattered spots throughout the 13 episodes and nothing really gives you a clear idea of how from there did they get to where they are today. Other than back stories, the play out of each character bar a few, was well thought out as everyone had their deeper purpose and some didn't find theirs until after other sinister ones were revealed.
Enjoyment factor was, on a personal note, quite high for myself as the references to countless other anime and Japanese idols are so high I would almost think it impossible to count them all. It was played out perhaps too quickly in some parts but its the lesser parts are skimmed over as needed. Many times the main character see's himself as an anime's main protagonist due to all his years of being an otaku shut in, and tends to relate a lot of his experiences with moments from his excessive manga database.
