  • Exploring Attack No.1, the first volleyball anime, the first female (and first shojo) sports anime, and the first shojo adaptation of a manga by a female mangaka. It's also one of the first sports anime series, and it's also among the first bunch of tv anime series to be made.

    Just finished watching this series. It's actually quite good. Love how the storylines overlap each other in their last couple of episodes, rather than filler episodes having to fill in the in-between space.

      How many episodes are filler? And should I watch only the first half because of the robot plot later? Is that plot canon too?

    And here I thought Umi no Toriton was old hat with the violence and maybe sexism in a kids show, but this one - well it is older than 1972 isn't it. Also using animated captain Kirk - I watched that show it was barely animated lol but the writing was actually good on occasion so to you I tip my hat, Marion Bea, you really know your retro cartoons. Would love some more frequent uploads tho.

    Thank you so much. I can't believe I'd forgotten her first love-interest died!!! Shame on me lol
    Just to elaborate on the Euro perspective: I'm German and basically grew up with this. I remember watching Heidi and some other stuff like that in Kindergarten, but Attack No.1 (aka Mila Superstar ^^) was my first anime series from primary school that I remember, and certainly the one with the most profound impact. It only aired here in 1993 (!!), coming by way of Italy, given a perfect program spot around noon time when German kids typically come home from school. There are comments on other youtube clips giving testimony to this daily routine: Get home from school, quickly chow down lunch, watch Mila :))
    To measure the level impact: I drew countless pictures of abstracted persons (like stickfigures but fatter) playing volleyball, with emphasis on the ball movements just like in the series. Needless to say, not a single ball was ever round XD And of course I just wanted to play volleyball so bad myself. Practiced services and smashes all the time in our garden - with a light plastic ball cuz actual volleyballs were far too heavy and hurt your wrists lol... I even did a few "training sessions" on the schoolyard, throwing the ball at a queue of interested classmates coach no.1 style! But eventually nothing ever came of it, for real volleyballs not being fun and mostly cuz the only sports club in the neighbourhood didn't offer volleyball.

    • @mariusa.5863
      @mariusa.5863 3 роки тому

      That sounds all too familiar, haha. We would have been best friends for sure. I disagree only on real Volleyball not being fun. I started playing it in primary school due to Mila, unfortunately as the only boy, but I joined the men's team in my area when I was 14 or so and I still love it to this day. ;) However, Volleyball would be even more exciting if there actually were techniques as shown in "Attack No. 1" ... e.g. Kugelblitzangriff, Luftballangriff, vergrößerter Schmetterball, Pendelannahme und natürlich der TORNADOANGRIFF! XD
