Okay. Storytime: When I was 4 years old, I saw the first episode of the Attack No.1 anime and it impressed me deeply. I wanted to be exactly like Kozue. Thanks to that anime, I played volleyball for 8 years in school. So, when I found out about the live action series, I was very hesistant to watch it. What if it's horrible? Will it ruin the manga/anime for me? In the end I did watch it and man, was I impressed. The acting is great, I even sometimes forgot that this is a fictional story. At times it felt like a documentary to me. Another thing that impressed me was how much story they managed to press into 11 episodes without making the viewer feel overwhelmed by so much content. Overall this drama portrays the world of volleyball and the struggles of the players much more realistically than the anime or the manga did. So, if you enjoy sports dramas, dramas about friendship or if you need something ridiculously motivating you might want to watch this one.
