‘Guardian Characters‘ and ‘Sergeant Keroro‘ are two Japanese anime series that have been causing a sensation in Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
Both ‘Guardian Characters’ and ‘Sergeant Keroro’ are visually stunning anime adaptations of their immensely popular Japanese manga counterparts. Both have achieved remarkable success, garnering numerous prestigious awards at Japanese anime film festivals.
While ‘Guardian Characters’ is a tale of dreams and the hope to live authentically, ‘Sergeant Keroro’ offers readers a hilarious and entertaining journey with a group of extraterrestrial beings in their comical quest to conquer Earth.
Guardian Characters
‘Guardian Characters‘ is an anime series centered around the main character, Amu Hinamori, a student at Seiyo Academy. Hinamori is a reserved girl with an incredibly cool exterior, yet she longs to live true to her own personality.
On a fateful night, Hinamori makes a wish to have the courage to be stronger, protect herself, and live as her true self. Her heartfelt wish inadvertently triggers a powerful emotion that awakens the guardian eggs in her heart, hatching into angelic guardians named Ran, Miki, and Su.
However, if the owner is a child filled with worries and doubts, the guardian eggs can transform into X-Eggs and hatch into malevolent X-Characters. These X-Characters often possess far greater strength than their benevolent counterparts and constantly seek to defeat their owner’s positive emotions with negative and hostile thoughts.
Perhaps that’s why X-Characters are always the unpredictable adversaries of the benevolent guardian characters, leading to dramatic struggles between good and evil.
Sergeant Keroro
Keroro Gunso is a series that follows a group of extraterrestrial beings led by Sergeant Keroro, a non-commissioned officer and the leader of the Keroro Platoon. This extraterrestrial team has been assigned a mission by the military of Planet Keron to invade Earth. However, an unfortunate mishap involving the rupture of their spacecraft’s shell leaves Keroro stranded on Earth, where he takes temporary refuge in the Hinata family’s home.
Sergeant Keroro is quite the easily distracted character, often spending his time watching anime, surfing the internet, and engaging in various other activities instead of planning Earth’s conquest. Besides Keroro’s laziness, the most significant hindrance to their mission is the Hinata family, a trio that keeps Keroro busy with unreasonable demands and continuous mistreatment, primarily at the hands of the family’s daughter, Natsumi. This leads to the extraterrestrial invasion plan being indefinitely stalled.

Odd taxi
“Odd Taxi” may be a relatively new name for Vietnamese audiences, but it has gained significant fame and received rave reviews from reputable review platforms worldwide. The TV Tokyo-released series in 2021 revolves around Kotokawa, an ordinary taxi driver who encounters eccentric passengers throughout his daily life. As a somewhat reclusive individual with no close family or personal relationships, Kotokawa’s solace lies in listening to Rakugo on the radio before bedtime.

Kabasawa, a university student looking for attention, Shirakawa, a secretive nurse, the comedy group Homo Sapiens, an unsuccessful street vendor, city rogue Dobu, and the rookie idol group Mystery Kiss – conversations with these seemingly unrelated characters take an unexpected turn when a girl goes missing. From there, Kotokawa and Kabasawa become entangled in a web of intriguing stories surrounding the vanished girl.

Gintama
A bizarre fusion of comedy, action, samurai, and science fiction, Gintama is a highly acclaimed anime series. The show is set in a world where aliens have invaded during Japan’s Edo period.
Not everyone is content under the rule of the extraterrestrial beings, including Gintoki Sakata. After a failed battle against the aliens, he gives up his samurai profession to open the “Yorozuya,” a business that takes on odd jobs for people. Alongside Gintoki are his two companions, Shimura Shinpachi and Kagura.
The hilariously depicted episodes follow Gintoki’s challenging journey with his friends as they struggle to make a living day by day. The series also brilliantly breaks the fourth wall with humor, as characters complain about their lack of recent appearances or watch trailers for their own fictional movies. Gintama offers a unique blend of genres and a refreshing dose of humor, making it a must-watch anime.
Spy x Family
“Spy x Family” is hailed as one of the most captivating and humorous anime series of 2022. This show is the result of a collaboration between Wit Studio (known for producing Attack On Titan) and Cloverworks, famous for their work on The Promised Neverland. The storyline revolves around a conflict between two nations: Ostania and Westalis. To maintain peace between the two nations, Westalis hires a renowned spy with the codename “Twilight” to gather intelligence on the prominent politician Donovan Desmond, who rarely appears in public, especially at the prestigious Eden Academy where his sons attend. To accomplish this mission, Twilight adopts the persona of “Loid Forger,” a fake psychiatrist, and enters into a sham marriage with the town hall secretary Yor Briar, as they also adopt an orphaned girl named Anya, enrolling her at Eden Academy to gain access to Donovan.
What’s surprising is that, besides Loid, the other two members of this fictitious family are far from ordinary. The seemingly gentle secretary Yor is actually a deadly underground assassin known as the “Thorn Princess,” and Anya is a psychic prodigy with the ability to read people’s thoughts.
