I read :

Director : Yuzo Sato
Series Composition : Hideo Takayashiki

And I immediately signed.

Yuzo Sato is Akagi and Kaiji's director.
Hideo Takayashisi is Akagi and Kaiji's scenario writer.

Nuff said.
They are neither plants nor animals.
They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them.

Read the same thing as the OP and came to the same conclusion.

didn't like Akagi on account that I know nothing about Mahjong, but the One-Outs story looks cool.

The main character's seiyuu: Hagiwara Masato
Original mangaka: Kaitani Shinobu

Hagiwara Masato is Akagi and Kaiji's seiyuu.
Kaitani Shinobu also made Liar Game, another great gambling manga.

This might turn out to be the best show of the season!

This is probably the show I'm most hyped about this season, as Kaiji is one of my favorite series, and I really enjoy the Liar Game manga. I just pray someone will sub it, doesn't look too good. http://fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_FALL_2008

Plot: "Hiromichi Kojima, the star batter of the Lycaons, heads to Okinawa to train and bring himself out of a slump. There, he meets Toua Tokuchi, a 134-kmph/83 mph pitcher and the undisputed king of a gambling form of baseball called "One Out." At Kojima's urging, Tokuchi signs up with the Lycaons. His contract differs form the usual, though, in that he gets 5,000,000 yen for every out he pitches, but loses 50,000,000 yen for every point he gives up."

Baseball anime with gambling elements. A certainly wierd storyline, aside from that, since its baseball and as I'm a fan of the MAJOR series, I'll also give this a shot. Though, still not so sure I'll like this, seems the protagonist is at "lose-lose" situation.

I hope so too! It just might end up as one of those underdog animes that won't get any subs this season. Hope Triad doesn't dismiss it as a Fukumoto wannabe!

As good as Masato was as Akagi and Kaiji. I think he's totally miscast here. The one problem is that he sounds EXACTLY like Akagi. Whenever I hear his voice, I think of Akagi and not the character he portrays. He didn't change his voice or anything (like he did with Kaiji). And plus, his character really does not match his voice at all.

Same. I might just translate it and sub myself if the actual baseball storyline picks up. If it sticks to the gambling, I won't though. Although, I might just get someone to translate it for me anyhow, if no one good does it. Also, I doubt the Triad will sub this. They tend to stick to 1 anime a season, and since the chances of Detroit Metal City being licensed is slim, they probably won't pick another up, especially if it deals with baseball.

It is such a great anime, it's hard to find a good battle of wits anime where the main never loses, and that never fails to keep you interested. Just wish that it would be longer.
