Sgt. Frog: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

Originating as a gag-manga by Mine Yoshizaki, published in ''Shonen Ace'' starting in 1999, and every bit as goofy as its English title, ''Sergeant Frog'' would suggest, Keroro Gunsou is the story of a not-so typical Japanese family and the alien frogs who turned their lives upside-down.

** And DON'T EVER break any of Keroro's Gundam models! In the dub this extends to all mech-related merch; he once punched Tamama for breathing on his Voltron playset.

*** And when some visiting aliens broke some of his models:

** The "animal animalizer" episode featured some crows who attack Sarge after he mentions he's into Gundam - crows hate Gundam, since everybody knows ''[[Macross]]'' is where it's at!

** Don't ever hurt Keroro in front of Mois. She's got the power to destroy the entirety of the planet in her hands (although she does downsize her power when it comes to teaching those who harm Keroro a lesson, thankfully!)

* [[Narrator]]: As per [[Rule of Funny]], the characters can hear ''everything'' the Narrator says (Natsumi asks him for fashion advice in one case), and finally the Narrator appears on screen ([[The Faceless|wearing a mask]]) in episode 40.

** In the English dub, he frequently gets into arguments with the guy who writes the subtitles for the on-screen Japanese text (the latter often choosing to write insults rather than actually translating what's written).

'''Narrator:''' Here's a caption: ''Bite me!'' }}

** Hell, an ENTIRE EPISODE revolved around how Kururu got tired of the Narrator's comments, and caused even more mayhem. This causes all the characters to [[Kick the Dog|Blame the narrator]]

** ''later in the episode...''

'''Fuyuki:''' Because you hate the show? }}

* [[The Neidermeyer]]: Keroro, sort of, his squad wavers between apathy and quasi-respect.

* [[Rule of Funny]]: ...narrow it down to ''one'' example? Um.

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: In the English dub, the narrator makes notice of the show recycling the 'multiple of one character' gag, and gets tired of it.

** Later in episode 23, {{spoiler|Where there actually ARE more than one Keroro, he keeps his word.}}

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: It seems like virtually all of Natsumi's class or teammates in the manga would die happy as the filling of a Natsumi/Aki sandwich. Except for Koyuki, who's only in love with Natsumi.
