(More customer reviews)Tremble in fear Pekoponians! For Sgt Keroro is here to conquer your planet! As soon as he finishes his chores and completes this one last Gundam model....
Keroro is the inept Sargent of a platoon of 5 Keronians sent as the advance guard to the invasion of the Earth. But due to his bumbling, the invasion is called off and he and his platoon are abandoned and Keroro gets adopted into the Hinata family where Aki Hinata hopes to use him as inspiration for manga. But Keroro has not given up hope of a successful invasion! He has big plans! Fortunately for us Earthlings, his plans are always terrible.
I read the first volume of manga for this series and was only mildly interested in it. But when I read a review of the anime on ANN that praised the English dub to the stars, I figured I'd give it a shot. The reviewer was so right.
The Japanese dub relied heavily on puns, word plays, and pop culture references that didn't make much sense in English. So Funimation opted to come up with English versions of the jokes. They did an excellent job of it. In addition, the voice actors were top notch and they deliver their lines with great enthusiasm and comedy. I tried watching a couple episodes in Japanese to compare the two and I was surprised to find that I found the Japanese dub to be boring. This was a strange feeling for me, since I watch most of my anime in Japanese. But with Sgt. Frog, the jokes either flew right over my head or when I did catch them, I didn't find them very funny.
But in English this is one of the funniest anime I have ever seen. And I've seen lots of anime.
This set contains 26 episodes of froggy goodness with the option of Japanese or English audio. Amazon claims it is only 2 discs, but looking at other Funimation releases, I expect it to be 4 discs. If you enjoy wacky comedy such as Kodocha: The First Season or Hetalia: Axis Powers - The Complete First Season, then this series is perfect for you, and at a great price! I can't wait for it to come out so I can add it to me shelves :)

Keroro is Sergeant Frog - the leader of a platoon of warriors sent to conquer planet Earth. But when the amphibious invaders discovered how much humans enjoy dissecting their comrades, the troops were scattered, the mission was aborted, and Keroro was abandoned. Now, this once proud soldier spends more time wielding a vacuum than he does the weapons of war. It's a far cry from the glory of battle, but hey, at least he's got his own room. And though the invasion may have slowed to a hop, Sergeant Frog still occasionally yearns to overcome his karaoke addiction and reassemble his troops. Watch out world, the frogs are taking over. 26 episodes on 4 dvds.
