Attacker You! English Sub & Dub

About Attacker You!

Here is what Attacker You! (アタッカーＹＯＵ！) is about, retold in plain terms: a romance and sports anime by Shaft (1984). In short: Attacker You! is the story of ambitious and energetic 13-year-old junior high schoolgirl You Hazuki (variously known as "Mila," "Jeanne" or "Juana" in Western dubbed versions of the anime). You's mother is not in the picture, having left when You was very young.

Another thread: Also living with You and her father is her younger brother Sunny, who is very attached to his older sister and tends to follow her everywhere she goes, including to school and to her volleyball matches. You is also curious about Kyushi Tajima, the pretty blonde woman whom she sees covering volleyball games on television, and about why her father grows into very angry whenever You mentions her. You is passionate about volleyball and dreams of one day being a part of Japan's national women's volleyball team in the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

In a romance series like this, slow-burn chemistry and believable dialogue are what keep it engaging. Voice work is led by Yuuko Kobayashi as You Hazuki and Eriko Hara as Oki. Think of it as a pick for viewers who enjoy relationship-driven stories. With 58 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
