Meet Shinichi, a shut-in otaku who is well-versed in every aspect of otaku culture. While surfing the Internet one day, he applies to join Amu Tech, a company that is looking for someone that fits his description to a "T". He lands the job, but wakes up the next day in a different world. He is given the job of General Manager (with a huge salary) and is tasked with introducing and spreading otaku culture to a world with hardly any entertainment and living in a Medieval-like society straight out of fantasy fiction. Shinichi must establish friendly relations with the locals, including the young empress, if he has any hopes of getting the job done. Making friends along the way, Shinichi learns more about cultural differences and the repercussions of his and Japan's actions get him into some the occasionally dangerous situation. Outbreak Company is also filled with references to MANY anime, manga, light novels, and visual novels, which will satisfy any otaku.
If you like ecchi (happens every so often), harem, fantasy stories, taken to another world stories, bits of romance, lots of comedy, the occasional fourth wall break, and otaku culture in general, you'll most likely love this anime. The OP, ED, and OST are all very good and fit the mood well. The voice actors/actresses (Japanese dub) help make the characters enjoyable and match their looks and personalities. The story has a mix of a traditional progressing storyline and slice of life elements that I believe doesn't detract from the enjoyment (some people don't prefer SoL stories, so I feel it's necessary to point this out).
In the end, Outbreak Company is a great anime and I highly recommend it to ecchi and harem lovers, fantasy lovers, and seasoned anime fans who will recognize and love many of the references and general otaku culture theme.
