| That was a good start.Touma sure looks cool. |

| 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. |

| 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 |
| I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something. People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English. |
| Damn this guy is cool |
| First ep is SOOOOOO GOOD. Can't wait to watch this oldie anime *O* |
| As someone who's never watched an actual real-life baseball game before nor is familiar with any of its rules save for the "three strikes and you're out" bit, I'm rather excited to have this be my first baseball anime~ I might not know much about the sport but I do like me myself some high-stakes gambling! Toua has one of the shadiest-looking designs a main character could have lmao I'm looking forward to the outcome of their match. |
 |
| Wow this kind of baseball is very good I wonder who will win (Toua obviously) |
 |
| Toua is so cool omg hahaha, hes gonna win for sure lol |
 |
| A really interesting anime, and the op is so good |
| Solid first episode. The OP is really good. This is my first baseball anime so looking forward to it. |
 |
| Ngl I didn't get any of the psychological parts. Funny though after the dude's monologue no one listens to him |
| Sports is pretty much my favorite genre and you add kaiji kinda stuff into im all for it Amazing episode it literally felt like 2 mins lol |
 |
| I compared the first two episodes with the manga. Seems that they cut down some extra moments to have a brisk pace. I wish they emphasized that Kojima was getting old and that next season was going to be his final (this plot was there in manga). |
| Alwas liked this show so Im rewatching. But...man. Toua really should have different voice. |
