This is where the aforementioned "world of fear 15 minutes into the story" is, I had listened to the parts on either side of this one first, before going through the whole thing, and thought the story felt a little familiar, but I seriously was not expecting the way this part turned out (^.^')
-------------------------
K66: Well then, Sgt Major Kururu, shall we return Giroro & company to normal?
966: Roger, "when the bell rings size changing spoon" device, reversing stand by
M: Outfit changing spoon size device, reverse stand by
G66: Thank goodness, we're finally returning to normal
723: Thanks to you
KT: It was fun!
966: Starting, switch on
M: Switch on
TMM: This time Nacchi and the others are growing bigger!
But something feels weird
966: Even a bonus tail, ku ku ku ku, they're hybridization phenomenon
M: It's completed
723: What's this meow? (1)
G66: What the meow is this?
TMM: Wow, it's cat Nacchi & cat Mr Corporal!
K66: Gero, gero, gero! They look ridiculous as cats!
G66: Don't mew laugh!
723: Since I'm meow a cat, I can feel my body over flowing with meow-er. Be afraid!
K66: Hie~!
723: Hey! Just mew wait!
K66: I'll taste bad if you eat me!
TMM: It's genuinely a cat hunting a frog
M: You could say, survival of the fittest?
966: Ku ku ku ku ku, even if we can't sell her, I can get a top video
G66: Hm? Come to think of it, where did that girl from before go to, meow?

1-Since Japanese has cats say "nya" the original dialogue replaces the "na" syllable with "nya", but the exact lines didn't easily fit this, so I fudged it a little
I just found this fun little artifact from the early days of Keroro, specifically summer 2001, about 2 years after the manga started, and about 3 years before the anime.
After years of hearing Keroro being voiced by Kumiko Watanabe, it's a little surreal to hear somebody else voicing him, ut if anyone recognises this voice actress, let me know (^.^)

I was saving this song for a special occasion, and the timing was perfect for this one; the first episode of the original Keroro anime aired 20 years ago today, on April 3rd 2004
This is the version that was used as the opening for the 6th season instead of the first (in part because I already posted the original in January), but I think having the version sung by all of the characters is a good fit for the occasion, there's just something special about the tracks sung by the characters that makes it feel like a true celebration of the series
(-^.^-) It was just lucky timing, but this feels like it was the perfect year to finally do this project, I found out recently that the manga also premiered in the April 1999 issue of Shounen Ace magazine, and now the new series being announced just a few days ago
Happy 20th Anniversary to the Keroro Gunsou Anime! And Happy 25th anniversary to the manga! Thank you for all of the wonderful memories and friendships you've given us and all of the ones we might find in the future \(-^.^-)/
