What happens

Attack on Tomorrow! (あしたへアタック!, Ashita e Atakku!) is an anime series that aired in 1977 in Japan. There were 23 episodes aired, each with a runtime of 25 minutes. In Europe, it is also known as Smash (French) and Mimì e le ragazze della pallavolo (Italian). It is often mistakenly believed to be a spin-off of the earlier and more popular series Attack No. 1 (1969–1971), due in part to the involvement of several staffers (including directors Kurokawa and Okabe and writer Yamazaki) who had worked on the prior series. It is not an official spin-off, and is more likely to have been inspired by the popularity of Attack No. 1. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
