One Outs

I did not expect that in the end. Good job toua. I can't wait to see what he pulls out next round!

Episode 7 by B2E: [mkv]

Meh episode, but loved the akagi/kaiji-ish scene at the end.

Episode 8 was pretty awesome. Hopefully B2E subs it soon.

[Haohmaru]

^yeah just watched it. Pretty cool how the end scene was displayed.

Toua is like 10x's wiser than Kaiji. Toua is fanscinating and refreshing not to be able to plot out his every move, but Kaiji's human fraility made it very entertaining as well.

You and I must be watching two completely different series... there hasn't been a single moment so far where Toua hasn't been in control.

Episode seven was pretty good, I don't like Toua, but I like the twists in the series, it's most certainly entertainining. I'm not a big baseball fan, but luckily, big baseball knowledge doesn't seem to be a requirements.

You just don't read the way I think I'm typing? XP ... fascinating and refreshing not to be able to plot out his every move. Pertains to what happens in my brain when watching the show. I'm usually pretty good at predicting what's the hidden agenda, but Toua has me pleasantly perplexed at times. I like.

And having a complied knowledge of the game makes it more entertaining, but not necessary for total enjoyment.

Ah, fair enough.

And Toua wiser than Kaiji? Maybe, he doesn't mess up as much as Kaiji; But in terms of thinking power? Probably not.

I like how Toua is prepared for every situation. He knows how greedy everyone is around him trying to win like the manager and the opposing team. He uses this need to win against them while in the big picture he is the one who is winning.

He's taking a huge risk though. If he doesn't end the fifth inning before the rain then Toau is fucked with the manager...

Episode 8 : [mkv] | [avi]

[Mater]

Sheesh, Toua had me howling through this entire episode. Each new violation was classic. Hahaha! XD Still loving this. Balk away, my friend.

[Haohmaru]

Yeah I was also LMAO. Toua totally rocked again this episode. Pretty sneaky also how he read the pitcher from the other side.

[Mater]

^ 10 against 8 ... Totally wicked of Toua to know how it would pan out.

Episode 9 : [mkv] | [avi]

[Haohmaru]

Toua just owned. I knew he was trying to get the game canceled but didn't know that if the other side forfitted the game would be won by toua with 9-0. He just made some major bucks. I was laughing at the end of the episode when the owner was panicking like crazy.

[Mater]

The owner got his ruddy plan to fix Toua's wagon shoved right back down his own throat. Amazing that Toua understood enough to give the manager of the Mariners the sense of responsibility for the team and the pitchers who would have been totally screwed if the game would have been called complete. This is another 'oh, snap!'

I wonder if the guy from main office who's been feeding Toua info is doing it of his own accord or Toua recruited him? I'm thinking he's doing it of his own accord.

[Haohmaru]

Yeah I think he's doing it of his own record. He's just the goodie 2 shoes guy. Finally some developement in the other characters in this anime. not that it was much.

[Mater]

True, he is a voice of justifiable reason cropping up constantly in the main office. Certainly a good guy. Preview for next episode looks as if there might be some more of the other character development. If we're lucky?

[Haohmaru]

I never wacht previews for One Outs because I want to keep it a mistery, but hopefully it will

[Mater]

I don't blame you for not wanting to watch previews. Considering the source of this anime, I wouldn't be surprised if there would be spoilage. I learned that lesson hard when running through Kaiji previews. Huge mistake, got burned good.
