What a fanservice fest. That's about all I can for this film. I loved it, but all I can muster after an epic 60 minutes was...
Why wasn't this a full length movie?
Really, there could have been actual Natsumi pummeling... there could have been more explosions, more intrigue, more friendship, more of everything. Bah, to speculate on what ifs is useless. Whatever.
Anyway, this movie was indeed epic. The animation was loads better compared to the TV series. It's in widescreen! Everything moves! The frogs get a shiny 3-d'ish look to them! Wow! There is this one scene when Dororo cloned himself to beat the hell out of the Kiruru clones, and you can see each clone doing different moves. THat was amazing. I'm still pissed off that Powered Natsumi didn't have a real fight though.
The movie uses a brand spanking new soundtrack different from the TV series. I was pretty fond of the TV soundtrack before, but the movie carries lots of nice tunes that got my adrenaline pumping. The ending song is a catchy classic. Keroro Dancing! Who would have thought of that?
Story? What story? It's all about the action! The parodies! Those are what makes Keroro Gunsou. This movie, frankly, tried too hard. We've all heard of the ol' friendship beats everything schtick. Oh well, at least the characters make up for the lack of story.
The characters are what make Keroro Gunsou shine. I don't understand how anyone can dislike the awesome protagonists and antagonists. The 5 frogs, each with their own unique and hilarious personalities, and the equally hilarious human characters. That new frog Mirara has an awesome voice, and Kiruru is great as the bad guy who never speaks a word. Anyway, many of the jokes with the characters can only be understood after watching quite a few episodes of the TV series.
So what's my bottom line? Watch the movie after you've watched the first season of Keroro (51 episodes). Then wait until those pesky fools over at Doremi get up to episode 101, in which the show turns into an awesome Keroro Gunsou Endless Waltz, complete with Mai-Hime type glimmering deaths and Natsumi kicking ass.
But alas, 60 minutes can only carry this far.

main cast
Keroro is a frog-like alien sent from his home planet on a mission to conquer Earth. But then his cover is blown, his battalion abandons him and he ends up in the home of the Hinata family where he becomes friends with Fuyuki and gradually starts to forget about his mission, enjoying life on earth.
It is a day just like any other when Keroro skips out on simulated battle training in favor of buying the newest Gundam model with Fuyuki. On their way home, they stumble upon a hidden shrine, where they end up causing damage to a shining orb uppon exploring it. That night, Keroro finds a big X on his face, which causes him considerable distraught. The next morning, a breaking news story shows that the X has spread to more than just Keroro, giving the people of Tokyo telepathic abilities, including the Hinata Household and the Keroro Platoon. The Earthlings seem to think this is a great gift, but the mark may actually be part of a Pekopon invasion older than time itself.

12, female, cowardlyCowardice is a trait wherein excessive fear prevents an individual from taking a risk or facing danger. It is the opposite of courage.

One who succumbs to cowardice is known as a coward., cyan hairThis character has cyan (greenish-blue) hair., introvertIntroverts are people whose energy tends to expand through reflection and dwindle during interaction. They tend to be more reserved and less outspoken in groups. Introverts generally enjoy time spent alone or with close friends, and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people.
Some of the typical solitary activities are reading, writing, using computers, hiking and fishing. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, engineer, composer, and inventor are all considered highly introverted.
Not to be confused as being shy - introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, where as shy people (who may be extraverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear. Like extroversion, introversion is not a black and white measurement, and these people may share some of the same traits than extroverts., multiple personality disorderMultiple personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment., ojouThe ojou ("princess", called "ojou-sama" in the anime) may be many things (perhaps even a real princess), but she is undoubtedly rich, either in her own right or by being part of an absurdly powerful family. The ojou is noticeable by her shrill and obnoxious laugh often (if not always) while putting the backside of her hand in front of her mouth., pettankoPettanko refers to a female character that places a great deal of importance on the fact that she is flat chested. It does not refer to characters that merely happen to be flat chested, but do not make any importance of this fact. The character may be extremely proud of the fact that she is flat chested, or extremely embarrassed of the fact., prehensile hairSometimes people have a hairdo so big it seems like it has a mind of its own, and moves on its own accord. And then there are the people who have the ability to make it move. Characters with "superpowers" that allow their mullets to become murderous., yandereA character trait involving a personality initially loving and gentle that becomes psychotic or deranged, often brutally so. See also yangire, a sibling trait to the yandere.
