About Kerokko Demetan

Here is what Kerokko Demetan (けろっこデメタン) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy anime by Tatsunoko Production (1973). In short: Demetan comes from such a poor family that he cannot even go to school in his woodland pond community. However, he has an ally named Ranatan, the lovely, gentle frog girl who is the daughter of the pond`s rich ruler.

Next up: Naturally her father is quite displeased by this relationship and he seeks to break it up. Nevertheless the young frogs continue with courage and confidence, not only to live their own lives but to guide the heartless leopard frog to a sense of justice and generosity. Gradually the pond community responds to their sincerity and joins them in a march toward a bright future.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Haruko Kitahama as Narrator and Yuuko Hisamatsu as Demetan. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 39 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
