It is often mistakenly believed to be a spinoff 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 spinoff, and it is more likely to have been inspired by the popularity of Attack No. 1.
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.
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.
Triviaedit
In the French version "Smash", Mimi is Virginia Tessier. In the Italian dub, she is Mimí Miceri and she's half-Japanese and half Italian. In both languages, most of the other character names were changed as well.
In Italian dub Mimi shares her name with the main character of Attack Number 1 Kozue Ayuhara, know in Italy as Mimí Ayuhara.
Mitsuko Horie performed both the opening and ending theme songs in the original Japanese version.
