KERORO

 
Keroro Gunso is a manga series by Mine Yoshizaki. It 'was then serialized into a TV anime series directed by Junichi Sato. Both the anime and manga are comedies that follow the attempts of a platoon of frog like alien invaders to conquer Earth. Sergeant Keroro, the titular character, is the leader of the platoon, but it is at the mercy of a human family of three after being caught trying to hide in one of the bedrooms of family members. In both the manga and anime, Keroro is forced to do meaningless work and commissions for the family after his army abandons his platoon on Earth.
The series takes its comedy from a combination of wordplay (particularly puns and homophones), physical humor, the irony of the situation, breaking the fourth wall, and numerous pop culture references (especially to Gundam, Kamen Rider, Space Battleship Yamato, Dragon Ball, Neon Genesis Evangelion and many others). Various anime, games, manga, and other aspects of pop culture are parodied / reference for the whole series as a bonus to older viewers.
Both the manga and anime are laden with pop culture references, and also in the same story the references often vary wildly. The anime does not explicitly refer to Evangelion and other animations to which Bandai does not own the copyright, but only recreates the "feel" of famous scenes of these souls. The anime is much more detailed and direct in its Gundam references, however, since Bandai does not hold rights to the manga and anime Gundam franchise.Both attention to the steadily deteriorating conditions of the Keroro Platoon, a group of five to six feet height, frog as aliens from the planet Keron range of the planetary system. The platoon's mission is to invade and conquer Earth (aliens known as "Pekopon"), but fail miserably at each attempt. Sergeant Keroro, the leader of the platoon, is easily distracted, and would rather spend his time making plastic Gundam models invade Earth. Keroro Besides, there are four other members of the Keroro Platoon: innocent yet violent Private Second Class Tamama, warlike and serious, but careful Coporal Giroro, intelligent, but troublemaking Sergeant Major Kururu, and stealthy, but melancholy Lance Coporal Dororo.
The biggest obstacle in the way of their mission is the Hinata family, who must take care of the Keroro platoon had to desert the army Keron it on Earth. Keroro is kept busy with the abuse of manual labor and constant, primarily from the family daughter Natsumi.
