One Outs

One of the most amazing anime I have watched. The show is crisp and will keep you at the edge till the last. Every episode will make you crave for more. Please come up with season 2

Look don't get me wrong, I like my psychological genre type of anime and appreciate Madhouse for producing pretty great anime. However, I just felt after watching a few episodes that it just didn't click with me. It could be the fact I'm just not interested in baseball and like I've watched some good sports anime such as Haikyuu!!, Yowamushi Pedal and Free! so far. Hate valleyball, rusty with cycling and need to swim again but yet, those three anime were actually intriguing to watch!

Just unfortunately, One Outs isn't part of my approved list...

One of my friends suggested this anime when I was frantically asking around for other anime once I finished Death Note. I didn't have high hopes from it, but that was before I got sucked into the intense mind manipulation by the title character, Tokuchi Toua !! He reminds me of Yagami Light or L, as you please, and has a stark contrast from other genius level characters with an aloof, whimsical, arrogant and devilish nature. The only one aspect in which the anime could have improved was to have a little bit of back story on the title character, but nevertheless, doesn't take away the shine from an extremely solid and well built plot. For sports fans, this will take you to another level and I guarantee you, this will NOT disappoint !!

Since this is my first review, I cannot profess to know what I'm talking about, but know that this is my honest opinion about this anime: I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Sorry for screaming it out to you, but this is how I feel. My dear friend who gave me the instruction to watch this is forever in my debt. For a young woman such as myself, that has no interest in baseball whatsoever, to non-stop watch 25 episodes of One Outs is in itself a statement of how intriguing, fun and clever this work of animation is.

It is not a simple work of entertainment, it is an entertaining anime that commands you to think. Each and every character has their own unique personality, with of course Tokuchi being the smartest man both off and on the baseball field.

In the end, all the elements that compelled me to watch it, the intelligence, the pride, the money, the attitude and the teamwork, all of it made me long for more once I reached the final episode. And yet, I'm perfectly content with how it ended.

So don't hesitate, just watch it and love it!

Great show best Keeps you on the edge of the seat wants you to keep watching really mindy games. A lot
