Keroro Gunso (also known as Sgt. Frog) opens its first episode by immediately flipping the alien invasion trope on its head. Instead of fearsome conquerors and planetary destruction, we get a loud, lazy, frog-like alien whose grand mission collapses almost as soon as it begins.
Episode 1 sets the tone perfectly for the series: fast-paced comedy, lovable characters, and an invasion that fails in the most entertaining way possible.
The episode introduces Keroro, a sergeant from the Keroro Platoon sent to Earth to prepare for an invasion. Unfortunately for him, things go wrong almost immediately. He’s discovered by Fuyuki Hinata, exposed as an alien, and quickly abandoned by his own unit.
With no backup and no real plan, Keroro ends up hiding in the Hinata household. Rather than striking fear into humanity, he finds himself under the watchful eye of Natsumi Hinata, who quickly proves that humans can be far more dangerous than aliens.
What follows is a series of comedic misunderstandings and role reversals, as the would-be conqueror struggles just to survive daily life on Earth.
Keroro’s inflated ego and complete incompetence make him an instantly lovable protagonist, and the humor hits consistently from start to finish.
The animation is bright and expressive, with exaggerated facial expressions and perfectly timed visual gags. The colorful art style matches the series’ playful tone, and the energetic opening sequence immediately sets expectations for a fun, comedy-focused anime.
Episode 1 of Keroro Gunso is a strong and memorable premiere that captures everything the series does best: parody, chaos, and heart. It’s a clever twist on the alien invasion genre and a reminder of why this anime became such a long-running fan favorite.
Whether you’re watching it for the first time or revisiting it for nostalgia, this episode delivers laughs from beginning to end.
