Keroro Gunso the Super Movie: The Birth of Ultimate Keroro: Miracle Space-Time Island!! - Review and Recommendation

"Super Movie Keroro Gunso: Birth! Ultimate Keroro: Miracle Space-Time Island!!" is a film released on February 27, 2010 to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the Keroro Gunso series. This film is the largest scale film in the series, and is the ultimate adventure story about the friendship between Fuyuki and Keroro, set on the mysterious island of Easter Island. Below is a detailed review and recommendation of this film.

story

Sergeant Keroro came to Earth (Pekopon) from the planet Keron, far away in space, with four subordinates to invade the planet. However, he was easily captured when he infiltrated the Hinata household, and now spends his days as a freeloader, helping out with the housework while coming up with a pointless invasion plan. In previous movies, Sergeant Keroro has inadvertently saved the Earth from a crisis, let alone an invasion, but will he be able to play a major role in this one without reading the atmosphere...?

One day, a strange stone statue that looks just like Keroro arrives at Fuyuki's house. In order to solve the mystery, Keroro and Fuyuki embark on a great adventure. The setting is the other side of the Earth, a mysterious and isolated island in the middle of the ocean called "Easter Island." When the Keroro Platoon and their friends rush there, they are met by the delightful spirit "Mana," the strange twins "Io" and "Rana," and the frightening legendary evil spirit "Aku-Aku" who has been resurrected from a long slumber. What is the true identity of the stone statue? And who is the surprising "Ultimate Warrior"...?

Commentary

This is the fifth film in the series, and it will be a big clash with the biggest and most vicious enemy in the series. The exploits of the Keroro Platoon will be the center of attention. Also being shown at the same time will be "Super Movie Edition SD Gundam Sangokushi Brave Battle Warriors," which depicts the epic tale of SD Gundam's heroes on the legendary continent of Mirisha, based on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
