Outbreak Company

Episode 4. In which they're more ridiculous than usual.

"It's like we had a time skip."

Asking if he's an invader is actually thoughtful. Shows he's got some perspective. Not that it's consistent with how he runs classes...

You know, even if you don't clean, how do you end up with books spread all over the place, and so evenly too?

Good first lesson. Second less so. And when she took over it was completely predictable.

Totally not a spy.

Galius' response to what Minori said was hilarious.

He didn't say anything about panty shots. Quite the opposite, really. But quite inappropriate, really. Bad angle to start from.

Elbia sounds like a country. Insert huge tracts of land joke here.

Honestly, that was probably the worst episode so far. Still, if that's the low, it's pretty good.

The intro was funny and bit at the end with Elbia was ok. The classroom was bit drawn out.

The 10 year old dwarf(with a huge beard) was a nice touch.

not the levels of episode 3, and once Zettai Ryouiki was introduced the escalation was pretty predictable - but I'll be damned if it didn't make me laugh till I had tears in my eyes.

I thought it was hilarious, honestly. Best lecture ever.

We now have a furry [spy] in the cast. But she's not a competent spy or anything, so it's fine. And enforced Ho Yay between Shinichi and Galius.

Petratca's concern towards Myuciel is freaking adorable. Also her heartbreak over Elizabel.

Also ominous line at the end that I didn't really understand.

I loved how the show kept calling attention to the 10-year old dwarf.

Conclusion: These dwarves have beards from birth. But not the females.

I don't like how they do female dwarfs though. That's not a dwarf, that's a loli, probably the same build as Petrarca.

That's what anime dwarves look like.

At least she doesn't have a beard. That would look awkward.

I liked how female dwarves were portrayed in this one book I read, they had peach fuzz rather than full beards. Of course, that would be hard to portray in anime. But they should be stocky at least, since they're dwarves. If you really need every female to be generically cute, draw them as chibis or something, that would be pretty funny.

Is she a dwarf? The opening shows her to be super strong, which isn't normally a dwarven thing. I think she's actually like a half-ogre or something.

She's a dwarf. Note how the columns in the class are divided (dwarf-elf-elf-dwarf) with the odd human noble mixed in with the elves.

Dwarves are super strong...they normally have visible muscles to prove it, too. They carry around giant hammers and pickaxes and stuff.

But I assumed her to be a dwarf because she was taking offense to all the smelly dwarf comments.

Dwarves usually are a bit stronger than humans, but it's usually not that much. She seemed waaay stronger. Also, as was mentioned....she doesn't really look like a dwarf. That's why I was expecting something else. Maybe an earth elemental.

As person who prefere level-headed heroines over nor and loli ones, I have to lover my standarts and ship protagonist with Gallius. It's sad it had go this far...

Well, the whole "a strange flag has been triggered" thing was pretty funny. I can ship it. Myuciel's a nice gal though, so that ship is okay.

Episode 5. In which I like Miu.

I wonder if that's foreshadowing for her losing control of her insticts. That might be interesting. Makes me think of Fran. But then, considering the genre, it's not going to turn out that way...

While it's quite obviously a Da Capo stand-in, the school on the title screen is very familiar. Nice detail.

I find the classes very awkward. It really highlights how backwards the premise is.

And someone really does have a one track mind, though it's far from straight.

Miu's reaction to him holding underwear is much more realistic than any other reaction ever seen in anime. Well, almost.

The concept of what a loli is would neither exist nor make sense for a race where that's just how they all look anyway.

The "bell" has rung. Sure, let's go with that. I don't think they would argue, at least.

So, a natural tsundere is trying to be a tsundere. That can only lead to confusion.

"I don't bat for both teams." You know, that's either a weird translation, or he's really not answering anything.

...It's obviously going to turn out this way. I found Miu more amusing in that scene, though. Just turn and leave. And then later speaking her mind before thinking about it.

In the next episode, Petra is going to have a rice-grain-on-the-cheek moment.

I wonder, is it Myusiel or Miusel? Or something else? Though normally there just isn't an offical version anyway.

The classroom scenes are the best. And I liked how Minori just keeps talking about BL until she finally has it officially added to the curriculum with endorsement from Galius. I also like the elves' accent.

So Ebia probably isn't evil...

I think not answering anything was the point of that line.

Episode 5: A disease is introduce to people without immunity

Not being familiar with any of the games didn't help here. (Only VN's I've seen are the obvious Type-Moon ones).

Elves and Dwarves always hate each other...but what they argue about can change.

This is another show where the slight bit of sanity helps moderate the standard gags. I like that. The laundry scene was a good example.

Petrarca...just be yourself. Ha.

"dora" is dragon, right(I'm guessing based on Toradora)....so tsundora would be tsun-dragon.....which sounds like a good name for a ruler like her actually. They should make that her title.

So, Elbia learns to fetch next episode I guess.

I think they usually say it as tsundora when they're supposed to use an incorrect but similar term. I've seen it before, though I can't remember where.

One has to wonder just what was going through Kanou's head when he decided to show Myucel (She was named by presumably illiterate parents in a language that doesn't exist that's expressed through the syllable based Japanese Katakana. Considering how many different spellings their are for certain English surnames due to illiteracy and hazy eyeballing, I feel comfortable assuming anything goes, and will thus use the spelling with the fewest letters) Seitokai Yakuindomo.

After the last episode, I was suspicious that Elbia was actually playing dumb (Would taking off her ring prevent her from understanding the non-Japanese speakers? Even if there's a large language barrier between their two respective nations (Everyone seems to wear rings, which might have reduced the need for bilingually), that's no reason to assume the enemy didn't take that into account), but the possibility being brought up by the main character more or less Josses the possibility. Kind of like how the perpetrator in a murder mystery is never considered the Prime Suspect, or if they are the suspicion is dropped for most of the investigation.

"Dora" comes from the Katakana spelling of the English word, "Dragon."

It's actually mildly touching to see the Tolkien Minorities fighting over something so mild. While the class could be viewed as a facility for brainwashing and spreading an addiction, at least it's breaking down some of the socially reinforced barriers, and creating amiable relationships between future rulers.

I think Petralka meant tsun-dora as in Tundra. I have no clue what is the meaning of that, but I've seen this term pop up in other anime before.

That'd be in Bakemonogatari. Senjougahara calls herself a tsundere, while the protagonist thinks she's more like a tundra because of how cold she is at first(pronounced tsundra because Japanese doesn't have a proper tu, and chu doesn't quite work here). But damn, I didn't notice it myself. Looks like this tsundora joke is actually a triple meaning, being tsundere, dora(gon) and tundra...

Tsundora might even mean to act like a tsundere minus the "lovey-dovey" part.

Epesidoe 6, in wich- pff, bwahahahaha! Oh god, my sides. It have to be seen to be believed.
