Summary:
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.
One Outs is a very good show. It takes its power from the fact that the producers did not stretch the show too much it is just the right size. I think 25 episodes are more than enough to give the viewer the essence of the story.
The story took baseball as the main theme but it is not totally a sport anime. Actually it is more like a gambling based anime!
The main character (Toua Tokuchi) is by all means is unbelievable! He is a devil! He can manipulate humanβs emotions and can read their minds based on their actions with his extremely high psychological skills!
Anyway I really did enjoy the series. And I hope you will do so!
