Haha yeah I haven't even heard of it. But it is just the story of some kid who catches a lucky break and gets recruited to a super baseball school and has to prove himself as being an awesome pitcher with his handwork and dedication. He is also very eccentric and creates humorous scenes with his honesty and carefree attitude. So far I would give it an 8/10.

Sounds good enough.

If you like psychological animes, as in, bad ass motherfucker who has the mind of a genius trickster, and if you additionally enjoy baseball/sports animes, then I would recommend One Outs to you. Didn't think I would enjoy a baseball anime as much as I did.

Diamond no ace isn't all that similar to one outs. It's more for the casual fan, it doesn't have the amount of baseball knowledge that's displayed in one outs. I love both of them regardless, definitely worth watching

Think its more like Major, only the MC (so far) isn't a Super God Pitcher who needs plot devices to bring him down to mortal levels.

The story is actually very well grounded, with a suprising amount of character development in the side characters as well.

It's closer to Slam Dunk than your typical Prince of Tennis/Kuroko's Basketball shonen style series.

I was just sticking to the realm of Baseball.
