Outbreak Company is a 2013 anime series that tells the story of a young boy named Shinichi Kanou, who is a nerd with a passion for otaku culture. One day he is presented with an opportunity of a lifetime when he is offered a job by a mysterious company named Amutech. This is the start of Shinichi's journey to a new world, where he will use his otaku knowledge to fulfill his role as an ambassador and help bridge the cultural gap between two entirely different worlds.

The story begins with Shinichi, a typical otaku, who has been jobless since he graduated from high school. However, one day he receives a mysterious job offer from a company named Amutech. Excited by the prospect of finally being able to use his otaku knowledge, Shinichi accepts the offer without hesitation. However, little does he know that he is about to embark on a journey that will change his life forever.

After being transported to a new world, Shinichi finds himself in the middle of a medieval-style kingdom called Eldant. Upon arriving in Eldant, Shinichi is introduced to the king's daughter, the beautiful and innocent Petrarca. He is also introduced to his new role as an ambassador, where he is tasked with teaching the people of Eldant about Japanese culture. At the same time, he must also learn about Eldant culture and customs in order to better understand the people he is working with.

Shinichi's main goal is to foster a better cultural understanding between Japan and Eldant. His challenge is that the two cultures are fundamentally different. He must find ways of bridging this gap and finding common ground between the two cultures. In order to do this, Shinichi uses his knowledge of otaku culture to introduce concepts such as anime, manga, and video games to the people of Eldant. He also introduces Japanese cuisine, language, and traditions to the people of Eldant. Through his efforts, Shinichi brings joy and happiness to the people of Eldant and improves his relationship with Petrarca.

Despite the challenges, Shinichi proves to be a successful ambassador. He is fluent in the Eldantian language, and he is passionate about understanding their customs and traditions. He engages the people of Eldant with his vast knowledge of otaku culture, making them more accepting of his ideas and values. Additionally, Shinichi works hard to foster stronger relationships between Japan and Eldant, ultimately shaping the future of both worlds.

The characters in Outbreak Company are well-developed and interesting. Shinichi is a relatable protagonist who is passionate about his interests, and he is a natural ambassador, able to charm the people of Eldant with his charisma and kindness. The king's daughter, Petrarca, is innocent and pure, but she also represents a strong-willed and progressive voice in Eldantian society. Other characters such as Myucel and Minori also bring their own unique perspectives that add depth to the story.

Overall, Outbreak Company is a heartwarming tale about bridging cultural barriers and understanding one another. Through the use of otaku culture, Shinichi is able to introduce new ideas and perspectives to the people of Eldant. And in doing so, he not only improves his relationships with the people of Eldant but also helps bridge the cultural gap between two different worlds.

Outbreak Company is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on November 6, 2013.
