Didn't watch Sola in the end. Went for Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun.
It was an average, kind of typical romcom with a ****py ending that lets us expect a sequel yet it hasn't been announced at all since 2012. Another unfinished anime that had some potential because the art/animation + characters were really good. The ending was total **** so it pissed me off.
If the ending was a bit more concrete, i'd have loved the romcom. Yet they screwed up.
Now I'll be downloading Chuunibyou demo Koi ga ****ai! Another romcom. I'm chaining romcoms because they are easy to figure out, my brain hasn't recovered yet from how awesome and mindblowing One Outs was.

I can basically agree with that assessment. Which is a shame, because Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun started out very well. It just did not manage to continue to be fun past the first few episodes.

I enjoyed Chuunibyou. It's not fantastic, but it's a solid romcom and is consistently enjoyable through the first two thirds at least. Unfortunately, like many romcoms, it gets a touch more serious towards the end, losing its lighthearted charm, but by the point I got that far into it I wasn't just going to stop watching regardless. I don't recall its ending being atrocious, but I do recall it being the standard sort of not-really-fulfilling ending.
I've also finally gotten started on this season's anime, after not watching anything besides Hunter x Hunter for two solid months.

I just finished Chuunibyou and was about to post my opinion until I noticed you pretty much said it all. Exactly like you said, the ending was so-so and it got a bit too much dramatic for a romcom in the end. But at least they announced a second season which kind of makes it up for the ending, unlike Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun.
I will be going for Hanasaku Iroha this time. Then I'll start watching either some action/fantasy anime or drama/romance anime. Romcoms shouldn't be chained as they easily get heavy on the heart.

Overall Impression: Definitely worth to watch. It's good anime overall, really good anime.
The strenghts: The theme of mind games, jukes, outplays and the ownage in general was near flawless. Some were easy to guess/think of on your own, but some mind games were pure genius. This anime reminded me a lot of Death Note, which is a good thing :P And the art was okay, I like how the main protagonist's art gives us the impression that he's a top tier evil genius (the gaze of his eyes scare the living **** out of me).
I wasn't a real fan of baseball until I watched One Outs. Turned out to be a great sport.
The weaknesses: What bothered me in this anime is that not a single female character (except a middle aged black fat woman seen on the first episode only) has made an appearance through the anime. I need dem girls.
Another thing, is that the main protagonist was never in trouble through the entire anime. The guy is a god who just facerolls people all day through 25 episodes no sweat.
Nevertheless, I highly recommend you watching this if you liked Death note and if you're a fan of mind games and psychology.
I think I'll be watching Sola, they say it's good, need to check it.
