To the readers,
This is only the introduction. You don't have to read it if you aren't interested, but in case you want any information and get confused, this is what you should read.
This is the first fanfiction that I have actually put online. My sister put one online a few years back. But that's not the point right now…
Anyway, I just want to point out that I happen to be creative and a pretty good daydreamer. I daydream EVERY day, like when I'm eating breakfast, when I'm at school, when I'm doing homework, practicing music, sleeping in bed, and even when I'm typing a preface such as this one.
My sister and I both have creative hobbies. Whenever we think of something we just have to tell each other. We both enjoy chatting about all sorts of things, and a lot of them are all about something fictional. When we tell each other these ideas, we like role-playing them. We both take turns telling each other his or her idea and what we think is hilarious.
I should also point out that we both love anime. Many of our stories have anime characters in them. I have imagined many crossovers that have anime or manga characters, such as the thing you are about to read. This series is called Sgt. Frog & Gurren Lagann Series. It's an interesting story on how I thought of all this…
I fell in love with Sgt. Frog earlier in the school year of 2011. My friend told me about it and eventually, I looked for it on Wii Netflix and when I watched it, I fell in love with it and my sister soon fell in love with it as well. Soon afterwards, we thought of all sorts of ideas that had the characters from Sgt. Frog. I myself made a small series that took place in World of Warcraft (I should also point out that I play World of Warcraft online) and it featured a whole cast of different fictional characters, such as Ed, Edd, n' Eddy and the characters from Sgt. Frog. It had a character that had a disability and his families, The Moomins, help him through many if the situations he faces. Thinking about them made me feel so emotional, because that character just so happens to be based off me, but I'll get to that topic later…
I fell in love with Gurren Lagann in a very interesting way. My sister and I both go to a club called Anime Club every Wednesday and Thursday. On one of these Thursdays, in the month of February, we were in Anime Club watching anime, until we started watching an anime that starting seemed very similar to a music video I saw over the summer, and then I realized that it was the same thing! I continued watching and the more I watched, the more interested I became. I didn't get to see the rest of it because my sister and I had to leave, but I was determined to find out what this series was called. The next day, when I was at lunch, I went to the library to try and figure out what the series could possibly be called. I tried typing in what one person in the club called it. I tried "Guine Loggen," but it didn't match. I tried other similar names, but none of them were what I was looking for. So, I typed in "digging anime," and I found the word I was looking for, and you might be wondering as you guessed correctly: Gurren Lagann! When I went to the Highland Games at the Queen Mary, I thought about Gurren Lagann while rehearsing with my bagpipe band. Afterwards, I looked for more information and got a little more information.
I tried adding the characters from Gurren Lagann to my fictional series, and when thinking of one sequence, it made me feel all emotional again. Little did I know that this would be the birth of a new series.
I thought of all the crossover ideas that I could make, and finally, I came up with an idea: why not try making a crossover with Sgt. Frog and Gurren Lagann? I thought that maybe someone thought of a similar idea. I looked on Deviant Art and FanFictionet. When I looked, there were very, very little ideas that matched what I was thinking of. So, I decided to write my own series about these 2 series and it worked.
The series is called Sgt. Frog & Gurren Lagann, a comedy/adventure/autism series that I really want Sgt. Frog and Gurren Lagann fans to enjoy.
I should point out that this series follows on a different path that goes a bit differently from the main Sgt. Frog idea. When I thoroughly thought it over, I decided that Sgt. Keroro would face challenges that I, the series writer, face in real life and I compare his situations to mine and he tries to figure out on how he could solve these problems. I should also point out that this series is somewhat more action-packed and more mature in tone (then again, Sgt. Frog does have some mature humor, along with many other anime and manga) than my original series on World of Warcraft. It does have some emotion it, only it doesn't make me cry in sadness or that sort of thing.
An interesting topic in this series is that it features songs by Elton John. I thought of that idea because I got Elton John's "The Road To El Dorado," soundtrack for Christmas and I'm still playing it over and over again (strangely, no one is really complaining about it being repetitive). The idea of Sgt. Frog and Gurren Lagann mixed with Elton John seemed interesting, since there wasn't any related videos on Youtube. The songs really fit into the background of the series.
The final thing I want add is that this series also has some serious life lessons in it, since it features a cast of characters that have disabilities and how they try to solve them. After watching the situations in Sgt. Frog and Gurren Lagann, I compared them to the situations in my life and I noticed several similarities. The hard thing is that people say that the plots in stories can't be changed and that things are just the way they are. Well, let's face it, without a plot line, there would be no story, and if the story didn't follow that plot, it wouldn't be interesting. But it doesn't have to be that way. After all that is what Fanfiction is all about. In my series, Sgt. Keroro faces many challenges when he's alone in a New World. Yet as he solves them, he realizes that he doesn't have to follow the plot line like back in his old world, but he can decide his own path in the new world that he's in. As my Grandma said, "Things don't have to always have to be the way they are."
That's pretty much it for the introduction. It's okay if you don't understand what the preface was all about. I just wanted to inform the readers about the background of the story. This series is dedicated to all Sgt. Frog and Gurren Lagann fans worldwide. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do.
Sincerely, Connor William Ross
