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.

I first thought a baseball anime meh cant be the great but I was very surprised it reminded me of Hajime no Ippo and Intial D ( Which I loved). If you dont know anything about baseball just like me you soon learn plenty and realise there is more to it than you first thought and overall gave me some appreciation for the sport.
I found it quite funny ( In a intellectual way) how the opposite team falls into Toua's traps as its well thought out and like MGS which goes into loads of detail so its more believable simply just wow.
The animations good , its entertaining , the story line is compelling ....I really could type more and more but if you liked any other Sport anime give this a hit I doubt you will regret it :)
