Shingekijoban☆Keroro Gunso Fukatsushite Sokko Chikyu Metsubo no Kiki de arimasu!, the upcoming new anime film in the Sgt. Frog (Sergeant Keroro/Keroro Gunso) franchise, will begin screening in Japan on June 26 (JST).
The movie was announced last year.
Shingekijoban☆Keroro Gunso Fukatsushite Sokko Chikyu Metsubo no Kiki de arimasu! will later be followed by a musical in September and a new TV anime in the Fall 2026 anime season. The TV anime will come with a fresh cast.
The Sgt. Frog anime are inspired by the KADOKAWA-published manga by Mine Yoshizaki. The general premise involves the daily lives of a group of hapless alien invaders and the humans they find themselves living with.
Viz Media describes the first volume of the manga as such:
After Sgt. Keroro blew his cover and lost his top-secret weapon, the frog-like alien has been cut off from the homeworld. To make matters worse, he’s lost communications with the rest of his platoon. Now he has taken cover in the Hinata family household, where in exchange for doing his share of the chores, he gets his own room from which to secretly devise new plans of world domination!
The first Sgt. Frog TV anime premiered in 2004 and ran for 358 episodes across multiple seasons until 2011. Later, a 24-episode series titled Keroro aired in 2014.
The Sgt. Frog manga began serialization in Shonen Ace in 1999 after a 1998 one-shot and has 35 volumes as of 2025.
