Sgt. Frog
About
A squad of alien frogs tries to invade Earth but ends up doing chores for a human family.
In 2004, an animated series introduced a comedic take on alien invasion. A platoon of frog‑like soldiers from Planet Keron, led by the inept Sergeant Keroro, crash‑lands on Earth and are taken in by the Hinata family. The series follows the soldiers’ futile plans to conquer the planet while they endure daily tasks and endless misunderstandings, all set in a bright, family‑friendly cartoon world. Episodes combine science‑fiction parody with slap‑stick humor, featuring the antics of Keroro, Tamama, Giroro, Kururu, and Dororo. The show ran for 358 episodes until 2011, spawning several films and a dedicated fan base.
