SynopsisKeroro 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. There, he's forced 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 meets up with subordinates who were also stranded during their failed invasion.

Well before otaku-queen Konata Izumi's (LuckyStar) sitcom ever aired, there existed a little green alien named Keroro that came down to command and conquer this planet. How he will manage to pull this off even Keroro doesn't even know himself. This is where the viewer comes in. We're all there for the wild ride that is the Keroro Universe. This whole series is told in a sitcom format where almost every episode will end with little to no change to the story. If you don't know if this is a series for you just read the lyrics of the first opening credits:
"March on forward! Let's invade Earth! Whenever I take out an umbrella, it always stays sunny. Mind your step! Grit your eyes! I forgot to cook the rice for the curry! I caught my finger in the door as it closed, and when I got on the plane, it was going the wrong way! My soldiers took a vacation at Planet Kero. Ah, it's cheaper to just buy dinner!" There are 2 more verses but you get the idea.
It sounds completely random and off the wall with light intentions to invade the earth... ergo, its a PERFECT theme song for this anime. Sunrise (dev team) are masters of pure randomness. Best known for titles such as Gintama, Yakitate!!Japan, and Inuyasha (among many others), Keroro is one of the company's flagship titles and for a good reason. It's completely filled with win. From the character types to the stories they're involved in. This is first and foremost a children's anime, and it reminds of that at the end of every episode via morals you're supposed to learn. Although, most of them are just off the wall but make for a fun episode every time. How does it manage to do this? It makes fun of EVERYTHING. From Otaku culture, to athletics, to spending habits, even obscure anime titles aren't safe (Dunbine, LoGH, Tenku Sharato, and even MIDORI no HIBI!!). They don't stop there, politics, movies, and celebrities make a common occurrence. Anything and everything will happen to Keroro and his motley crew of subordinates and his Pekopon prisoners.
Like other sitcom titles like this (LuckyStar, Gintama, Family Guy) They are only entertaining as the characters that are in it. Man are these characters fun! There (Sgt) Keroro, the squad's commanding officer who's a little stupid and Gunpla Otaku, Tamama, very obedient and borderline psychopath, and Giroro, who is... well.. a male tsundere. There are over a dozen more characters each are equally entertaining as everyone else. But of course you can't help but choose a favorite out the bunch but that is the nature of Keroro.
The art production is nothing to write home about but if i had to compare it to something, it would have to be similar to Pokemon (Cute animals and leggy humanoids) which completely works for this anime.
You can tell after watching a few episodes if this is your cup of tea or not. As for me, I absolutely love it, its content is catered towards kids but its humor is very adult and refers to many things in popculture. If Lucky Star and Gintama would have a baby, Keroro would be the result. 8/10 (Very Good anime) read more

I started to become a fan of Sergeant Frong (aka Keroro Gunsou) when the manga first came out here in the US. At first I though this was gonna be some manga I wouldn't like but eventually I fell in love with the crazy antics of the Alien space Frog, Keroro. I began to watch the episodes on Youtube and they were just as I expected to be. Though the show seems kiddy like, they have alot of adult themes. It also has sketches within the anime of scenes of many famous Japanese movies and Animes (Gundam the most).
The story begins with Fuyki and Natsumi Hinata find a strange Frog like alien hidding in there home. The siblings capture the alien and scare off the alien invasion leaving behind Keroro, the alien, and his teammates behind. After that, Natsumi puts the little guy to work. Cleaning the house, washing dishes, and so forth. Soon he becomes part of the family, but still plans on taking over the world (which his alien race calls Pokopen).
Keroro soon meets up with all his crazy but interesting friends. Private Tamama, is Keroro's left hand man, always following his orders but has a strange affection for him.Tamam also has a split personallity so better not get on his bad side. Corporal Giroro is a Gun crazy loonatic, which has a crush on Natsumi, also he tries to keep Keroro in line. First Sergeant Kululu is one of Keroro's most dangerous friends. Kululu invents and creates deadly weapons made for the sole task of invading earth. Then there is Corporal Doror (aka Zeroro) which is sometimes ignored by the other group members and has dedicated his life to protecting earth. Then there is Keroro's beloved nephew Moa-Chan, the young woman who is destined to destroy earth but holds back just for her beloved uncle.
Keroro and his friends go on several adventures, and make many attempts to invade earth. They always fail or some how they make things better for humans. But as long as there Gundam models around Keroro's plans to invade earth will be very long indeed.
The story is kinda half assed but it's a good anime none the less. It has many colorful characters and episodes that will make you want to see what crazy antics will he do next. Keroro is not anime you should pass up, since he's become one of Japan's newest anime idle (Next to Gundam that is). So check it out, I'm pretty sure you'll have a laugh or two. read more

These are two similar series that are SO similar - it's almost scary. Both main protagonists, Keroro and Ika, are "invaders" from very different worlds who come here to Earth in order to invade us and claim everything in humanity for their society back home. And, both end up becoming slaves to a pair of siblings to do hard work and labor for one reason or another as soon as they arrive unto Earth. Ika - a pair of sisters. Keroro - a sister and brother. The art style and emotion art between the two is even similar. The comedy is the same between the two as well. Slapstick and character torture [to a very light degree]. When Keroro and Ika do something that they aren't supposed to, they are punished by fists driving into their skulls [or other forms] and yelled at for their foolish behavior by the tsundere sister in the series. The sound effects, music, and setting are spot on with each other as well [various popping and squishing noises and electric/bubbly music]. The two protagonists also have the same sort of character motifs and actions and emotions, as well as a catch phrase/regularly used Japanese honorifics. Keroro - "~De Arimasu!". Ika - "~De Geso!". And lastly, they also are sheltered and befriended by their captures in return for their hard manual labor and being tortures. They also find out just what it means to be a citizen on Earth and what the humans go through in their daily lives. Episodes are also split into two parts - however, they are both tied in with each other. So, if you have watched on of these series watch the other. You're seriously going to like it and notice EVERYTHING that's similar with the other series in the first episode.
both are extremely good comedies which feature an invading alien-like character
Ika Musume is so similar to keroro, apart from the fact they both want to invade earth, it's somewhat similar kind of humour.
both the main characters want to take over the Earth. But end up being too lazy to do so.
Both protagonists, (Keroro and Ika-Musume) are invaders trying to invade earth but end up being treated like slaves for some kids (siblings). Keroro and Ika-Musume both show their evil side time to time and usually gets yelled at or hit. The humour is very much alike and you will automatically notice the similarities between the 2 anime. :D

A lot of references of Keroro in Lucky Star.
They also use the real voices of the characters, and they appear as dolls and figurines in the serie.
The show is also humoristic, and sometimes it's as random as Keroro.
They come from the same distribution company, hence there are Keroro Gunso parodies throughout! It's very humerous and you will understand Lucky Star's parodies of it if you watch Keroro Gunso.
Keroro Gunsou's humor is a lot like Lucky Star's. There's a ton of references slipped into each episode that pays homage to older anime such as Fist of the North Star and (of course) Gundam. Both shows also repeatedly break the fourth wall and use running gags.
If you liked Lucky Star or SGT Frog you'll like the other because both shows comedys parodying otaku culture. Also Natsumi naging Keroro to do the household chores is very similar to Kagami naging Kotana to study. And Natsumi and Kagami are very simmalar characters.
