Attack No. 1 - World Championship of Tears

The Japanese team has decided to participate in the World Junior Championships for the first time. Kozue, Midori, Kakinouchi and other all-Japan teams, under coach Inokuma, worked hard on rigorous training and boarded New York, where the world's strongest players await. The biggest enemy in this tournament is the Soviet Union's Voltinskaya murder spike. If you don't break this, you can't hope for a victory. An all-Japan player who works hard to practice with the cooperation of the American and Korean teams. And finally on the day of the final match with the Soviet Union. The Japanese team challenges the Soviet Union's hard block with a winning strategy in mind. Where will the glory shine? The time of the decisive battle is approaching.

Directed by Masaaki Osumi, Attack No. 1 - World Championship of Tears leans on a strong ensemble — Kurumi Kobato — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1970.
