Line 14:
Rounding out the cast is an assortment of eccentric humanoids, including Momoka Nishizawa, bi-polar scion of a multi-billion-dollar international corporation who hangs out with Tamama and has a serious crush on Fuyuki; Mutsumi Saburo, a smooth talking poet/artist/radio show host who hangs out with Kululu; Koyuki Azumaya, [[New Transfer Student]] and [[Ninja]] girl who hangs out with Dororo and is a [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship|rather close]] friend of Natsumi; and Angol Moa/Mois, a ditzy alien girl who has a crush on Keroro and the power to destroy an entire city block with literally a fraction of her power ([[Calling Your Attacks|"Armageddon One Ten-Millionth!"]]).
 
Insanely popular in Japan, the manga was eventually released in North America in 2004 by Tokyopop, with the title ''Sgt. Frog''. An anime adaptation naturally followed, also begun in 2004. In November 2006, [[ADV Films]] announced that they had acquired the rights to the anime version. However, after nearly two years without a single word on the project save for a couple of trailers, [[FUNimationFunimation]] acquired the distribution rights in 2008 (along with about 30 other ADV titles). After a bit more [[Development Hell]], the first season 1 DVD was released September 2009. Episodes can be viewed on [https://web.archive.org/web/20101216004048/http://www4.funimation.com/video/?page=show&b=223 Funi's video portal.] By March 2010, all of the first season had been released on DVD - split into ''two'' "seasons" for whatever reason. In February 2011, Funimation announced that it has licensed further seasons and will continue the dub. Adding to the multimedia franchise, [[Namco Bandai]] released an RPG adaptation using the ''[[Tales (series)|Tales]]'' engine in March 2010.

Line 24:
* [[Action Girl]]: Nearly every main female character will qualify occasionally, if not regularly.
* [[Action Mom]]: Aki. Moreso, {{spoiler|Momoka's mother and Dororo's Mom.}}.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Giroro's voice actor also played Leonidas in the Japanese dub of ''[[300]]'', which is quite appropriate, as they are both [[Badass]] warriors or violent, cryptofascist lunatics [[Alternate Character Interpretation|depending on your point of view]]. At one point Giroro even utters [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|the film's most memorable line]].
** In a similar vein, Dororo once executed an [[Energy Ball]] in the exact same manner as a basketball shot, uttering the line "[[Slam Dunk|the left hand is only for support]]"...
** And Garuru, whose voice actor was previously Anavel Gato of [[Gundam]] 0083, is known to carry weapons identical to those of Anavel's GP02 Physalis.
Line 574:
** Episode 133 features a rapid succession of heavy hitters going down for the count, thanks to {{spoiler|Alisa Southerncross}}.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Taruru knows all of the tropes, but he's a little mixed up as to which ones apply to whom.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: Momoka and Tamama.
* [[You Would Make a Great Model]]: Tamama tries to discredit Angol Mois by posing as a sleazy camera man (with the help of a robotic exoskeleton) and telling her that she can become more "mature" by doing a photo shoot.
