In 2008, a sequel named "New Attacker You" was realized, 24 years after the first airing. It has some of the old show's main characters (You, Eri, Nami, Sho, coach Daimon, coach Mitamura), but all of them (even You) are largely OutOfFocus in favor of the new characters, and with totally different personalities (especially You), to the point of being a sequel InNameOnly.

* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Played ridiculously straight in the Italian dub. In Italy the anime is known as "Mila and Shiro", the [[DubNameChange "Italian" names]] of "You and Sho". Even though he's You's LoveInterest, Sho is a minor character ''at best'' and his name certainly doesn't deserve to be in the title along with the protagonist.

The show is typical of the 80's sports animes (such as CaptainTsubasa, ThePrinceOfTennis et al.) and, true to its nature, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff it garnered its main success in Europe, especially France, Italy and Spain]]. Even though it is considered a classic in its native Japan, its fame up there is nowhere near as big as it is in the aforementioned countries.

* UnderdogsNeverLose: Inverted. Yugina, the local FatGirl of the team is also the least likely to be successful, mostly because her weight hinders her moves. Made all the more ironic since her sister, who is part of the Saiei team, is just as pudgy as she is but far more talented.
