The plot of the anime "Moe Mission", in fact, talks about how the Japanese industry is faced with increased interest from foreigners. Their customs seem strange to the protagonist, but he is now in this environment - and must somehow cope with the situation.
What is moe?
Moe is charm or love. In a broad sense, this word implies the passionate passion of a person for a hobby or subject. The word moe comes from the Japanese verb moeru. It means “to burn,” and in a figurative, poetic sense, it is used to describe ardent feelings: “to burn with love.”
The term became known because it is used to indicate a fascination with 2D characters. Anime has spread well outside of Japan, and now even the people who are very far from the world of animation have an understanding of the word "moe."
In the world of visual art, moe animes are popular among people who want to look at cute and soft creatures. The Japanese industry is constantly releasing a huge number of good and charming comedies in which all the action is built around the creation of touching situations.
Moe are kind girls drinking tea on a well-lit terrace. However, not everything is so innocent. Moe is also a fetish for many mature people. Therefore, in some you can find many strange costumes and round, ripe forms, even in girls who have not reached puberty.
In general, an anime is released under the brand name of the moe genre, aimed at evoking warm feelings in the viewer through the constant display of young girls or young girls. Creating a fluff atmosphere is not always successful if the viewer is constantly slipping maid costumes and drawing breasts on six-year-olds. However, it is quite suitable for many consumers. For them, moe is the satisfaction of fetish fantasies.
"Moe Mission"
What is the anime "Moe Mission"? You need to start with the fact that this anime contains not as many cute moe elements as one might think from the name. And in full its name sounds as follows - Outbreak Company: Moe mission. Outbreak Company translates as "Rebel Company."

This young man takes an online test of knowledge of the world of anime and manga. The test was created specifically to find a specialist in this field. A connoisseur of the world is needed to confront representatives of the parallel world who have declared their desire to reap the benefits of the Japanese entertainment industry.
Perception of Aliens
Japan is still a very closed country. And for the culture of Japan it is typical to portray foreigners with the help of images of “aliens” and people from “parallel worlds”. This technique of expressiveness allows us to talk about many problems without causing public condemnation.
From the side it may seem that something completely crazy is going on in history. The Japanese are well educated to hide their thoughts, to avoid conflicts and "not to stand dirty linen in public." But with the help of archetypal images, in roundabout ways, they can express themselves and their problems.
