Summary: {From MAL} Having a light novel author father and an eroge illustrator mother, Kanou Shinichi is a thoroughbred otaku. However he does not have any special power except for his broad knowledge, sharp insight, and impeccable instinct about "MOE" and its products, from manga to anime to games to light novel to figures. One day he found himself transported to a fantasy world where elves live and dragons fly. And he is given a task—not to fight monster or embark on a quest, but to enhance cultural exchange by becoming a "moe missionary" in this fantasy world! He meets a palace guard who has a bit of fujoshi taste, a half-elf maid, and the empress who is a little girl. He comes up with the idea of building a school. At first it runs as a comedy but later there are serious matters that Shinichi needs to face: ethnic discrimination, social problems, conflict with neighboring countries, sabotage by opposition elements including Japanese government, etc. Can he overcome the obstacles, successfully bring "moe" culture to the fantasy world, and help the people there as well?
Thoughts: Although this show was fairly entertaining, it was incredibly stupid. The Japanese government is trying to make relations with an alternate dimension in which they accidentally found a "portal" to off in the middle of nowhere. Their idea?
To send an Otaku to the new world and have him introduce them to Anime/Manga/Games as entertainment. This will show the people of this world that the Japanese are good and...yaddayadda.
The idea of it is ridiculous and the twist at the end is just as much so.... Lets face it. Most the people over in this new world are exactly what the characters in the Anime/Manga are like so..yea..
Who we have...
Shinichi Kanou - The main character, at the beginning of the show he fills out an application of sorts for a job somewhere in Akihabara. Instead, he's hired and abducted by the government to act as a liaison or sorts between the Japanese and the parallel universe that they so happened up on.
His job? To spread the Otaku Culture through these new magic filled lands populated with elves, dwarfs, dragons and such. He gets a sweet mansion to live in and his own lovely half elven maid, the government will supply him with whatever anime/manga/games he needs.. What do they say though? When it's too good to be true, it probably is.
He befriends many of the new worlds residents while teaching the Otaku lifestyle, mainly females of course with a male thrown in here and there.
Minori Koganuma- A member of the Japanese Military, her job is to help Shinichi with his task to spread the Otaku Culture. She too is a bit of an Otaku, she's a YAOI Fangirl who seems to be trying to get Shinichi and Galious together.
Once the actual plan the government has is revealed she takes Shinichi's side in things, risking her own life since she too has no one back in Japan that would miss her if something should happen.
She's quite curious about the Otaku culture and Shinichi in general, seemingly having a crush on him she gets jealous of Myucel frequently and attempts to out do her in learning Japanese.
Myucel Foaran - Shinichi's half elven maid, she's extremely skilled with offensive magic which can be seen a couple times during the series. She can't read/write so Shinichi teachers her Japanese that she may read the Manga and speak the language.
She too falls in love with Shinichi, since he treats her as an equal unlike basically everyone else.
Elvia Hanhaiman- She's a werewolf and a great artist, Shinichi takes her in as his personal artist after she's caught "spying" on the Eldant Empire.
Galious En Koldobar - Petralka's cousin, at first he's against allowing Shinichi to teach the Otaku Culture to the people but... Minori introduces him to BL Manga and he's taken quite a liking to it... and Shinichi. Everyone loves Shinichi!
The End: This is where it gets pretty stupid, the reason that the military wanted the Otaku culture to be spread around Eldant is that it may control it's citizens. Once Shinichi gets them hooked, the Japanese military could start holding back on the product until their demands were met.
Dumb.
Shinichi is disgusted by this and falls into a depression until Myucel pulls him out of it and he comes up with a solution. Eldants people can start making their own Entertainment! This pisses the Military off to no end and they attempt to have Shinichi killed.
He brings the plans to the Petralka's attention and they, her advisers and such come up with a plan that allows him to continue teaching the Otaku culture with the Japanese governments help. Something on the terms of you help us, we'll help you and stuff.
The show was stupid, but entertaining.
