Attack on Tomorrow


Attack on Tomorrow was an anime series aired in 1977 in Japan. There were 23 episodes aired at 25 minutes each.
It is often mistakenly believed to be a spinoff of the earlier and more popular, series Attack No. 1, due in part to the involvement of several staffers who had worked on the prior series. It is not an official spinoff, and it is more likely to have been inspired by the popularity of Attack No. 1.
It is also known in Europe as Smash and Mimi e le ragazze della pallavolo.

Original Story

The story is about Mimi Hijiiri, a student with just one school year remaining, who decides to revitalize a volleyball team low on morale from the death of one of its team members from an accident.

Concept

The series was strictly created as a tribute to the gold medal the Japanese women's volleyball team earned in the 1976 Olympics.

Staff

While the show would eventually aired in the European market in the 1980s in countries such as France and Italy, the plot and concept was too similar to its predecessor Attack No. 1 and ratings were low. The show ceased production after only 23 episodes.
