| I really enjoyed the opening episode of this series - the bad Japanese of the Americans was a nice touch. |
 |
| I'm hooked. It's like the baseball version of Akagi/Kaiji. I don't know who to root for though, Toua or Kojima ;_; |
 |
| too much talking, not enough actual plot/baseball/something else that's not a long winded explanation of what we can clearly see on the screen anyway. my hopes for this series are not high |
| Interesting |
 |
| this show is so underrated tis one of the best i've seen it has such a nice art style and seiyu's |
 |
| Man, awesome first episode! I've a feeling I'm gonna really like the series. |
| Seconding most of the posts Very interesting show and great first episode. Going straight to the second one, can't wait to see how the 400,000$ match is going to end ^^ |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
SeoulEater said: More like under-popular on MAL, which I agree. Just 6000 raters? this show is so underrated tis one of the best i've seen it has such a nice art style and seiyu's Nowadays, I don't like first episodes ending in cliff-hangers. Still good though. People always include Kaiji or Akagi with One Outs. Well, this is the first out of the three I'm watching. Recommended by a friend, really. Engaging first episode. But to say the least Tokuchi owning was predictable (with a synopsis like that, what else am I expecting? haha). Like I said, still good though. |
| I love the background "intense" music. Toua is one of the best characters in anime.. |
|
| It was okay, but I'll reserve thoughts for later into the series. |

| That was a good start.Touma sure looks cool. |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| A very good first episode, it makes me want to keep watching more and more episodes. It does indeed remind me of Kaiji, which is a show I really enjoyed. I like the whole suspense / psychological aspect, so I can tell this show will be very enjoyable for me. Also, I liked the OP, it was a bit different style than a lot of the others I have seen. |
xLtay said: Is it just me, or does the pitcher look almost exactly the same as Hiruma from Eyeshield 21 o-o When I see that pitcher's face, I also think about the same thing.That's an interesting way to start a new series.But it looks promising,wonder what will happen in the next episode~ |
    |
| The pitcher looked like Hiruma!! |
 |
| It was okay. Toua kinda looks scary... and it's really rare to find a character than can scare me. O.o (His personality is cool though!) We'll see how this goes. |
| I love to watch shows where you hate the main character sometimes. It makes it interesting. Add some psychological warfare and strategy...consider me hooked. And also, baseball. |
 |
| Toua Tokuchi = boss pitcher. But jokes aside, this series is pretty good so far with the themes and that OP song. |
 |
| That was a pretty exciting episode, made me pump for the next |
 |
| Wow, that was great imo. loved it. |
| God damn, this shit's intense. Why did I put off watching this for so long? |
| Decent. Pretty interesting. Will keep watching. Also, great opening. It's very mellow. |
| Never looked at baseball in this way. |
 |
| I'm gay for Toua already. They really showed as much of Toua's skin as humanly possible in that OP. Already getting Kaiji vibes with those cliffhangers. Boy am I going to miss those ZAWA ZAWAs... Good first episode. Lots of intense moments. Excited to see what kind of mind fuckery Toua will pull off! 7.5/10 |
| That Toua. Fuck the cliffhanger. This is good. |
| Exciting first episode. Cant wait to find out what's so special about his pitching and strategy |
 |
| Wow, I love love loved the OP <3 That was such an awesome opening episode! Glad I decided to watch this! <3 |
 |
| I love Toua's voice! Was gonna just read the manga of this but hit a dead end at chapter 32, so now here I am. Anyways, interesting to see it animated. |
 |
| incredibly intense first episode. that is how you frickin start an anime series off correctly. also, toua is pretty badass. he kinda reminds me of Suoh Mikoto from k project |
 |
Scud said: I don't know how they manage to make these shows so intense, I don't even like baseball and I'm loving it. |
| I finally got around to watching One Outs, so far I don't really see what is the big deal with this anime. I will watch this though because this Tokuchi guy interests me enough to watch the whole series to see where's he going to go |
 |
| pretty good so far |
 |
| So far, this is looking interesting. Though, it seemed to go by way too fast. |
| Combining baseball and the tension of a psychological anime? That sure seem promising. The style of Toua is awesome. That show give a strong ''punk'' feeling. I love that. I also love the character style. Some of them look really ugly :D Betting 40000$ on something that isn't 99% to be a win, that's really foolish. No matter how you look at it, the batter had the short end of the stick. |

| Pretty cool OP. Not sure what to expect from this show, should be a good watch though. |
 |
| ive heard of this anime everywhere this last week, its like the universe is telling me to watch it. i found the first episode ok, the animation is pretty bad, but its from 2008 so i can understand why. however it looks promising, i have no idea where this will go and the characters seem smart enough for now. plus, i love baseball |
 |
| What an amazing first episode! :O Toua is a damn beast if he beats Kojima. They're betting big boy money here :O |
| Interesting, Toua was for sure a professional player before, I'm curious about how he ended playing there. |
 |
| Never knew that Hisoka played baseball. |
| Great opening and damn the MC look cool ! |
| Time for a rewatch >:D I watched this show before having watched Akagi and Kaiji so it's only now that I notice the similarities. It's pretty much a baseball version of Akagi xD Also, forgot how ridiculous the OP was. All dat manservice haha. |
 |
| Pretty nice start,Toua is definitely a very cool dude. Think I'm gonna love this show. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Like Kaiji, this episode felt like it ended a lot quicker than most anime episodes. That's a great sign! Looking forward for more of it, definitely! It's really good so far! Zawa, zawa... |
 |
| I don't like to see a sportsman smoking, hope he would stop soon |
 |
| Damn this guy is cool |
