Volleyball dramas have helped promote the sports among school girls around the world. Japanese comics and dramas have been especially influential in this respect.
The Japanese comics ‘Attacker No. 1” (1969) was released in Germany and “Attacker You!” (1984) was popular in Italy, France and Poland.
The Japanese drama, “Moero Attack”, released in Southeast Asia in the 1980s, was also a hit on television. It subsequently inspired local versions of volleyball dramas.
Although the Japanese comics and dramas were not released in the United States, the MTV volleyball movie, “All You’ve Got” (2006) may yet create more interest in volleyball as a sport.
