    More than just Sports ! Gambling at its best

    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

    ..and this is how you make baseball interesting..

    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!

    Solid psychological warfare

    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.
