Reportedly the upcoming issue of Newtype Magazine will include a confirmation that Madhouse and the main animation staff behind the gambling anime TV series Akagi and Kaiji will produce a TV anime adaptation of Shinobu Kaitani’s unusual 1998 baseball manga series One Outs. The story revolves around a professional pitcher who accepts a contract stipulating that he earns 5,000,000 yen for every strike out he pitches, but loses 50,000,000 yen for every point he allows. The anime series is scheduled to premier in October.
