About Sgt. Frog

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Sgt. Frog (ケロロ軍曹) deserves a look (2004). The setup goes like this. The premise: Keroro is a frog-like alien sent from his home planet on a mission to conquer Earth. But when his cover is blown, his battalion abandons him and he ends up in the home of the Hinata family.

From there, there, he's pushed to do household chores and sleep in a dark basement that was once supposedly a prison cell haunted by the ghost of an innocent girl. He even spends his free time assembling Gundam model kits. During his stay, Keroro runs into up with subordinates who were also stranded during their failed invasion.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Keroro (Kumiko Watanabe) and Giroro (Akiko Hiramatsu) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 358 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
