Ep2 -
This one did a lot of things right. Most importantly, it said a lot without trying to say anything at all. All too often shows will hammer a message at me and I end up opposing it just because they're so pushy. But Outbreak manages to slide all that world depth naturally into the plot. I love it.
Müslix was really cute this episode and I'm glad to hear that she has boom mage potential. That bit with her going that that manga was really touching.
But what I liked most about the whole episode was that he didn't instantly take a "My people don't have slavery! It's wrong! Stop now!" stance. Especially when Petralaka was tearing into Myusel, he found a logical way to stop her and promote understanding instead of just telling her she was outright wrong. I'm not cool with slavery either, but to me forcing your ideals on somebody else without desire for understanding is no different.
I also like that the government can't just give them whatever they desire. It's on a tight budget. This opens up serious and comedic avenues.

Not only that, but it really showed off Shinichi's intelligence. "I just got here, but let me tell you how wrong you are about everything." is a great way to get ignored. Waiting and carefully explaining his viee in a way people will listen to an understand is much more likely to result in actual change.

I wasn't enamoured with the second episode as much as the first. Not all that much happened and the loli-dude-maid interaction kind of bugged me. Her sitting on his lap just came across as loli-pandering to me. Anyway, hope the pace picks up next time.

Loli pandering?
They [expletive] changed that scene not to be sexual in the least.
If anything, I hated it for being anti-lolicon by going "CAN'T SHOW IN A SEXUAL LIGHT" as popular in anime nowadays.
Loli pandering my ass.

The loli's shots are very erotic in the lap sitting scene.
Like almost showing everything.

Yeah, it was loli-pandering to anyone who isn't a fullblown pedo. So sorry you didn't get your heart's desire and see her actually getting jammed.

No. It was clearly made tame and devoid of any real loli fanservice, much less pandering.
You go and see any boob monster series and you will see what pandering is.
Also full blown pedo? I think that kind of name calling is a bannable offense.

Heinzendegger, I need to give you a piece of advice. Turn down the lolicon stuff a bit. I like lolis, I like them more than I tend to let on, but you are going way too far. You should be happy with what we get have some level of understanding why decisions to lower it down to not turn off audience is made. If you are not careful you might come across as a little skeevy.
And in my personal opinion there was plenty of fine loli fanservice.

Sorry, but there weren't, and if they're not going to include it, they might as well not do it in the first place, and go for another project.

The only one who is danger of being banned around here is you. Your constant soap-box whining about a lack of sexualized loli fanservice is not going to win you many friends.

There is far, far more to a series (well most series) than just fanservice, let alone a single type of fanservice. Outbreak Company is so far a very interesting series with a lot of potential, and I for one am very glad they chose to adapt it into an anime.
Also, it's not like loli fanservice is the only type of fanservice that gets toned down in adaptions. Anime adaptions are quite often a bit tamer than their manga/light novel counterparts, in terms of violence and sexual content of all sorts. Is simply part of life, and something fans of fanservice have to accept. Or simply stop watching anime.

You were the person also complaining about the shota butt scene in Nagi no Asukara? Might that suggest you are not a fan of cute crossdressing shota and otokonoko even if they look like lolis? How do you think I feel with how devoid anime adaptations are compared to this genre of manga? You get far more loli fanservice than the type of fanservice I enjoy.
loli = ^.^d <-- Past
trap loli = b ^__^ d <-- Past

No, I actually don't get any.
The few titles that had loli fanservice cut them out even. For example RKB SS.

Wow, episode three was even better than the first two. It's not surprising that this wave of new culture would bring about radical terrorists who opposed the change in traditions. I'm surprised at how solidly written this is, when in the beginning (well before I saw it was from the author of Scrapped Princess I had it written off as some generic fantasy harem.
