I loved it when I saw it first and its still one of the best

I'm in fact a fan of Japanese Animation but most series are just too long or the story keeps changing to often to become a good series. Attack No 1 was indeed a long series but it just kept running and running - no boredom in sight.

The story tells us of the volleyball-player Mila (her name in the German version ... I don't know the original) and her way to the top. I loved the series when I was 10 years old and I still like to watch the reruns if my time allows it.
