One Outs

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

You would not think that gambling and baseball works good together, but this anime proved me wrong. When the story really began it was mind-blowing. You would think that it would get worse over time, but it was great until the end. The side characters may be a little unnecessary, but the main character...oh lord that guy. Fantastic.

Go watch it! Start at 10 o'clock in the morning and finish it in the same day.

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...

There's something captivating about watching someone constantly outwit those who want to bring him down. The main character Tokuchi is smooth, arrogant, and always out-thinking anyone who thinks they have him cornered, battling his enemies in their minds and sometimes flat out breaking people with how much he can beat them in a game of wits. The show is clever in how it ramps up the ways in which it backs Tokuchi into a corner with seemingly no way out, or thwarts his first plan only to reveal it was a feint or he had a backup all along. The series ends in a sort of weird place and I wish more of the manga had been adapted, but as I'm left wanting more I'd say that's a good mark for the show. My biggest criticism is that the supporting cast behind Tokuchi, with the exception of his catcher, can be at times dumb or boring with how far behind Tokuchi's thinking they can lag. Overall though it was a ride I enjoyed start to finish and while partly because I love baseball, I think this is something for anyone who enjoys a good bit of deduction or psychological battles rather than physical ones.

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
