On Monday, FUNimation uploaded an English-dubbed episode of the Sgt. Frog (Keroro Gunso) TV series to YouTube. FUNimation has deemed it a test, and requests critiques and input from viewers.

FUNimation acquired the license for Sgt. Frog earlier this year in the ADV-Sojitz fallout. ADV never actually released any of the Keroro Gunso titles, despite the fact that they held the rights to two series in the franchise.

The series itself is based on the best-selling manga from 2004 by Yoshizaki Mine, and is one of the most successful contemporary anime series in Japan.

The fourth Sgt. Frog movie is currently scheduled for a theatrical release in Japan next March.
