I wouldn't say the fansubbers' lack of effort means the actual lack of interest. When the guys were releasing the fansubs weekly, it did 1000 seeds, easily. It's a cool show to watch and since Madhouse seems hellbent on releasing some shows as they go on (like Kaiji), maybe we might see the continuation.
Though I still want to see Claymore's recent chapters instead of Madhouse ending it anime-original style. |

Just finished episode 24 and 25 subbed and pleaseeeee, pleaseeee let there be a season 2. One Outs was one of my most anticipated animes during the season and it definitely saddened me to see there is a lack of interest for this anime. Such a brilliant, (albiet ridiculous at times) deep, and just simply awesome anime.

Finally finished up the series and I must say... it was quite the thrilling ride. I haven't seen a series that worked up the game theory angle so well and as an amateur game theorist, this series had me enjoying the interplay between Tokuchi and Tokuchi's opponents who thought one step behind Tokuchi, which made all the difference. I could watch Tokuchi try to outsmart owner all day and be satisfied.
That said, the last episode was a little... strange. I thought Ideguchi's response to a certain revelation to be a bit too... genuine, given the reveal that comes a bit later. I don't know if he was that good an actor, but he sure convinced me.

Yeah, hate to admit it but Kaiji is like the real event so far.
Akagi was great, but it was too Mahjong-oriented and the main character was just simply too godly. He barely seemed even human. Kaiji is great too, though he's a bit too much of a loser on one hand. Makes for underdog moments, but still. He literally calls himself a human trash more than a few times. While Tokuchi is sort of like a somewhat more vulnerable version of Akagi. I just loved how they showed the uglier side of professional sports head on like that. I mean, even worse things have happened in real life too, as far as sports/baseball cheating is concerned. |

You know, after watching the series for so long and with the lack of female involvement, it really did strike me odd how there was no scenes one can interpret as yaoi.
And then the last episode comes in, with the biggest 'can be interpreted as a Yaoi moment' scene I've seen in recent memory. Guess I spoke too soon lol. XD Not that it makes the show any less great, mind you. I'm a shipper through and through, and I actually watched through this from beginning to end despite not having an ounce of romance, so that's really saying something. |

OMFG just finished watching this.... what an Awesome series! The only thing I didn't like was that they left us wanting to see the games towards the championship but I think they are saving that material for season 2...
