One Outs

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.

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

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.

This anime is all about strategies and manipulation or showing the baseball club dark world business
