History Manga / AttackNumberOne

** The second Italian opening, made in the 90s by Cristina D'Avena, starts out as slow but then turns into an annoyingly cheery and downright childish theme, in typical D'Avena style. Most people are mainly familiar with the first opening of the 80s (older but much more poignant) and hate the second one.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-4WYkVpciI German opening]] has a cheerful and upbeat theme tune while featuring Kozue getting violently hit by the ball multiple times, falling to the ground, and being driven to tears. In fact, the theme melody doesn't fit this dramatic series at all and it was previously used in other countries for a much more lighthearted anime, ''Anime/AttackerYou'' (see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovv88rxqgSI here]]), which was never released in Germany. Although the lyrics say "she used to be frail and sickly but that has all gone now, now she is an ace. " it kinda did fit with the pictures. French version does it too.
