| Good ending leaves things open for a second season if they ever decide to pick up again. Also, closes up the opening matches. |
| This anime gave me the same atmosphere as Kaiji which isn't a bad thing, overall this anime was awesome and im really hoping for a second season in the future. |
 |
| I loved it so much... one of the greatest unique baseball series ever... I really LOVED Toua for being so AWESOME. *A* He just kicked-ass over and OVER! ♥ It was really fun to watch...it made me stand up loooots of time just because I was so happy with his EVULNESS. xD But I really loved this series so much right now that it was so hard to watch it end just like that... TT_TT I want a second season...but since it's by Madhouse, the chances of it getting a sequel is slim...VERY. -sigh- I'll just cry over it -wipes tears- D: |
     |
| Good ending, but not great. It entertained me a lot, and I just love Tokuchi's badassness. The show was at its peak during the Bugaboos saga. I felt something missed in the BlueMars one, like, it wasn't personal enough between Tokuchi and the team. I hope a second season will come out, the relation between the Lycaos and Tokuchi seemed to start at the end of the anime, which felt kinda empty as a ending. 9/10 , and I demand a 2nd season. |
| |
| Not the greatest of shows, not the worst of shows. The ending made this series pretty mediocre. Proof yet again that even Madhouse can fuck up. The anime ended up putting Tokuichi in a positive, content light out of nowhere. The whole series he was off-putting and cynical and all of a sudden they pulled this character development out of their ass. |
| Fucking awesome! I wish it's got more eps. TT |
| wow, ending was decent and Tokuchis kickd ass again =D quite impress on all tricks to counter his enemies all along. enjoyable all in all, giving it 8/10 hoping for a second season XD |
 |
| Tokuchi was a great character, and I liked the series overall. Last 5 or so episodes we're pretty boring though. |
| Very Good series, Tokuchi was quite awesome. But, wel, the ending kinda feels incomplete. I would guess the manga goes on.. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| After seeing that the anime only covered the first 10 volumes of the manga, i hope for a second season. |
| I've never thought a sports anime will hook me so much. First i gave it an 8, then a 9, but at the end - 10. The anime has flaws. For instance - disappointing ending. But personally i was satisfied with it, i don't hate it for ending like that. There wasn't much of a character development, although i think in this one it is not necessary, because it revolves around sport. And last - there wasn't a background story of Toua or somebody else. But the excitement while watching it was definitely a '10'. I loved the psychological aspect of it and how the team managed to beat the other teams. It was good ^^ and i want another season. |
| It was quite a good series, but I definitely expected more from it. It only went downhill after episode 9, and there wasn't even a real climax. While the psychological aspect was great at the start, it became quite weak towards the end... Not to mention that the clause in the contract about not being able to play a game could easily be seen right from when the extra details were added to the contract... I'm still giving it a decent 7/10 though, for the good characters and because sports is my favourite genre... Also a new PB time for me completing a 25-ish ep series - it only took me 10h 15mins - which proves that I did enjoy the series, even if sports is the easiest genre to marathon. |
| BADASS. Ending was mediocre. 9/10 For not having TOO much convoluted "strategies", even though comparing tenths of a second is pretty damn convoluted. And for actually making me watch baseball, when I have never liked the sport before. I thought it was one of the most boring sport ever. Anime has the power to do such a thing. Though I still won't watch real MLB. I'm likely to never watch these other series Akagi and Kaiji. A lot of people mention it here and compare this with them, but I really only just saw this because the word psychological and baseball sounds like an awful (yet surprisingly awesome) combination together. |

ragnaroks said: Awesome ending. Love how they made a sport game into a "chess" game. Doubt there will be a sequel, madhouse rarely makes sequels. My favorite pitcher switch stance: 9/10 this. I really liked this show. Psychological seinen are awesome. IMO Kaiji > One outs > Akagi. And all three of them are amazing. |
| Just GREAT! 9/10 |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Very good. Overall:8/10 |
    |
| I thought that this series overall was amazing! Every moment of it kept me interesting, even the long explanations didn't really turn me off much. This has gotten me very interested in reading the manga, too bad it isn't completely translated. |
| 9/10 ^_^ tokuchi said that it's not yet finish until they win championship |

| Entertainment: 10 Suspense: 10 Surprise: 10 Tokuchi: 10 (one of the most badass characters ever) Enjoyability: 10 THEREFORE: 10/10 I PLEAD FOR A SECOND SEASON!! |
 |
| I was very impressed with the series. I didn't know how to go into the series, didn't know whether I'd like it or not. I didn't have a bias one way or the other towards baseball or sports in general, so I was hoping for something great and I was very pleased with the result. I'm really hoping for another season, and it already has been almost 4 years, so I guess I'll have to hope upon hope. I'm giving it a 10/10 because I went through the entire series wanting to watch another episode right after finishing one. That is what I see making a good series really great. |
 |
| It was a great series.. Now only if the manga was completely scanlated... |
| I just know this is the best sports anime period. Let me remind you that I hate baseball with a passion. I wish they had a season 2 im still mad about it. |
| Kaiji > Kaiji 2 = One Outs > Akagi |
 |
flaxman85 said: Kaiji > Kaiji 2 = One Outs > Akagi I agree. Although I'll put One Outs slightly above kaiji s2 |
 |
| Would have been nice if we got to see how much he ended up getting paid after the championship. |
    |
| Completely retarded. Amazing concept, and great protagonist, but the rest of the cast members are just so retarded, it's unbearable. Also, the business aspect of the story is a complete disaster. It is a shitty plot device that is poorly explored and only used because the author couldn't think of a better setting to put an amazing protagonist in. In fact, business itself, tries to become an antagonist to the main character, which it obviously fails at. Overall, I feel like it deserves an 8, but when I think about it, One Outs definitely was not 'very good'. So, I'll give it a 7, because I do admit it was 'good'. As I stated before, the concept and the protagonist did save the show. However, a good concept, as well as a good protagonist (which unfortunately is surrounded by a bunch of losers), alone, cannot save this train wreck. |
    |
| One Outs was all about Tokuchi Toua, enough said. If not for him, I would've dropped this long ago. |
| yea, i was kinda hoping for a character as awesome or atleast as half as awesome as toki in their team, i guess someone with a lot of potential that would get help from toki, but the closest to that was the the guy at the back, and he was ok, but not really awesome. |
     |
| Oh and the owner is owned again. I really wish Toua exposed the Bluemars, but alas he would never do that. I want a season 2, but I doubt it happens....though Kaiji got a season 2. I give it a 7/10. Throughly enjoyed the show, but its a bit of an insult to baseball fans and players who are made out to be complete naive idiots. |
 |
| Great anime serie. Great mc ! |
| in the beginning i was really hoping that kojime would play at least an important role in the anime because of that that was said in the early of the first episode, the series is only around tokuchi and the rest are only his toys to him play with, and what a dumb toys, it was awesome in the first play against that top team and after that it kind of lose all that awesomeness, but it was really enjoyable to watch 8/10 |
| Yup, and the guy gets up. Tokuchi continues pitching :3 Well, overall I thought this series was a fun ride. Might re-watch a few of the other episodes. 8/10. |
 |
| ....That's it? and how the hell was that pitcher that had terrible aim at first who was trying to hit Tokuchi even made it to PRO? |
 |
| Wowowow! Wait a minute! This ending was terrible, i'm so disappointed here! Sincerely, I was expecting him to die, it would have be just perfect. Don't misunderstand, Tokuchi was one of the most cool character ever seen, but please! He's too perfect, he deserved to die or at least fail! |
| so they ended it this way,it was a good run afterall. 7/10 |
 |
| Well I liked the fact that the manager ended up flat on his face in shame. He just couldn't realize that Tokuchi will always overcome foolishness. :) 8/10 |
 |
| Great series, it needed more episodes though. |
| 8/10 Felt a bit incomplete , some parts were great and clever , some parts were too rigid to understand but good serious overall. |
 |
| 8/10 Even though this was a re-watch for me it was still fun to watch all the way. Going to read the Manga some time in the future. |

Chapter 83 for anyone else interested in reading the manga When I saw this anime was rated 8.46/10, I was very excited as I had thought this was going to be amazing. At the end, I only found it good. Everything is very one dimensional and cliche, albeit entertaining. Hopefully the manga will spend less time on the actual baseball games, and showing more character in Tokuchi because the anime keeps hinting of his notoriety and more malicious nature but we don't see glimpses into his past or what motivates him. Although I am surprised, because I learned more about baseball and that you can add digits to see if numbers are divisible by 3! |
