History YMMV / AttackerYou

* AcceptableTargets: Fat people, especially with how the overweight Mineko is treated in the last episode. While she has a good story arc (struggling with insecurities about her weight, befriending You, and becoming a supportive teammate after getting over her initial jealousy), the ''final episode'' portrays her as a bumbling, slapstick-prone FatComicRelief who is made fun by her friends/teammates for her weight.

* DesignatedHero: Some of You's interactions with her adoptive brother Sunny make her come across as a BigSisterBully instead of a CoolBigSis showing ToughLove.

* ValuesDissonance: Nowadays, Daimon sure would be arrested for his teaching methods that include abuse (physical and verbal) on the students.

* TheWoobie: Nami, the perfect example of HardWorkHardlyWorks. She has to put up with Daimon's abuse for the entire series, unlike You who has enough sense to change team (and coach) after the middle school arc. Despite her hard work and good potential, she's the third wheel in the main trio, since You and Eri are seen as the top players and consider each other the main WorthyOpponent. Even in the final arc, she gets sidelined in the national team... by Daimon. She even gets the worst DownerEnding: in the last episode, the day before the Olympic Games, she has an accident that leaves her paralyzed, therefore unable to play in the first important match of the national team.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Daimon, especially to modern viewers. Some episodes try to humanize him as an AntiVillain and show that he's just a strict coach that deep down cares about the players, but it doesn't work condering that his "strict teaching methods" involve physical violence to young girls, and he gets away with ''everything''. In the final episode, we even see him crying because of Nami's accident, but it's not really believable since he spent the entire series treating her like trash (verbally and physically abusing her, manipulating her, and only taking her side when it benefits ''him'').

* EarWorm: The opening of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnsZ-XpOX5Q Mila e Shiro due cuori nella pallavolo]] is one of the most iconic anime intros in Italy. Very few people there don't know it. The same melody was also used for the French and Spanish theme songs.

** Sunny is seen by many viewers as the epitome of the useless TagalongKid with an annoying voice. Especially evident in early episodes where he's often portrayed as a nuisance and AnnoyingYoungerSibling. Other see him an endearing CheerfulChild.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: The moral of the first story arc is "if you want to become a better player, you have to focus on volleyball all the time and never think about anything else". In fact, the whole point of You's CharacterDevelopment is going from "regular teenager who plays volleyball but also wants a social life outside of it" to "PassionateSportsGirl whose life revolves only around volleyball".

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Despite mediocre ratings in Japan, the anime achieved a strong level of popularity in several European countries, including Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Poland. The anime has been rerun several times in Italy since its original broadcast there, and the manga was also released in Italy. The European dubs were reportedly so popular that they inspired many young female viewers in countries where the series aired to join volleyball teams at their own schools.

* FollowTheLeader: The series owes a lot to ''Manga/AttackNumberOne''.

* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Italians Love Attacker You]]: And indeed, they do.
