"Sgt. Frog" on FUNimation Video Player

The thing I never got with the first episode is why it makes the 'origin' story the second half. It does mean you get to the norm of the series more quickly, but I think the opening story (how Keroro was rurabled) actually grabs your attention pretty well. It also helps to establish that pre-Earth Keroro was an actually compotent soldier, he just got unlucky.
 
I suppose we disagree on the degree of the change. I actually find this better than the One Piece dub since the One Piece dub added language that seems to be there simply because it is an "uncut" dub, as if it's meant only for the older devoted fanbase that either doesn't care or erabraces it. But One Piece was actually made targeting people half my age. In contrast, they seemed to dub this with everyone in mind. Not that the One Piece dub is bad, I'm just saying that what they've seen fit to add to it was far more unnecessary than anything that's been put into Sgt. Frog.
 
Looking at the large gap in news, is to think otherwise (rather, against such being taken as a sign of progress) completely ill of anyone?

At this point everything has almost boiled down to gut feelings. Either we take silence as a contributer to our theory or to the other man's...
 
They went for self-aware humor, which works so far as it goes. After all, the title for the second half is "The episode that should have come first!" And as another example elsewhere, when they're setting up Sarge in his basement Fuyuki asks why he'd never been told about it before. So Aki cheerfully remarks that "it's only the first episode, dear!"
 
In episode 7 when Angol Mois does her Armageddon thing, I could have sworn that Christopher Sabat changes to his Vegeta voice when he says "You have failed me yet again Keroro!" Did anyone else catch that?

EDIT: HOLY CRAP! NOBUYUKI HIYAMA!?
"SPARK! DAI-HENSHIN!"
 
That's also true. Regarding "Sgt. Frog", at Anime Expo I asked a couple of FUNi reps about a T.V. deal. The best info I got was from the Twitter lady who told me that they were meeting with a couple of networks later in the summer, and that was in early July. As for "One Piece", well FUNimation won't give a straight answer and Toei Animation isn't very public with their fans, but from everything I have to speculate upon I believe it has a shot at coming back.
 
Episodes 17 and 18 subbed are now up. I was hoping they would put more dubbed episodes up now that the first DVD set is out.
 
That was so funny! I'm glad Funi went back and heeded fans' concerns and changed the names back and kept the Gundam references.

Clever re-writing helps punch up the humor alot. I loved Tamama's unconvincing "Don't do Drugs" and practically anything Momoka said/thought
 
The latest ANN podcast has a former NewType employee as a guest who has some info and insight about his experiences with ADV when they worked on "Sgt. Frog". Particularly interesting was when they were considering catchphrases for Keroro; one of them was apparently "Ribbity-bop".
 
The answer is probably the same as it is with One Piece...if the DVD's sell and they know that there's enough demand, they'll go the extra mile and eventually grab movies.
 
Case Closed was able to get four other films licensed by Funi but when they will be released to the public over here in the states: nobody knows. And with One Piece, Movie 8 was pretty bad so seeing the rest of the films is unlikely. Sgt. Frog films being distributed over here, however, depenRAB on, like you said, if everyone loves the dub as much as what we've read in past posts so far in this thread.
 
"Ribbity-Bop"? Pretty weird replacement for "Sir, yes sir". Episodes 19 and 20 subbed are now up. We should all know by now that they put up two new subbed episodes a week, so I'll stop reminding everyone.
