What Makes the Dub So Great?
The voice acting is spot on. Tia Ballard as Kaho perfectly embodies the naive, head-over-heels teenager. Her reactions to Kanade's… unique personality are priceless.
And then there's Micah Solusod as Kanade. He manages to portray the mischievous, sometimes clueless, but ultimately kind-hearted fifth-grader in a way that’s both funny and endearing. He nails the moments of seriousness and childishness.
The writing itself is great, too. The dub script amps up the humor. They've added clever lines and witty comebacks that enhance the already over-the-top situations.
Embracing the Absurdity

It’s like they know how ridiculous it is and they're running with it. The voice actors aren't afraid to go over the top, which really sells the comedic moments.
For instance, when Kaho first discovers Kanade's age, her internal monologue in the dub is hilarious. It perfectly captures the chaotic jumble of thoughts running through her head.
Beyond the Laughs: Heartwarming Moments
It's not all just jokes. There are moments of genuine sweetness. You start to see that despite his age, Kanade is actually a really good person.
He cares about Kaho, even if he doesn’t always understand her feelings. These subtle moments of tenderness are amplified by the voice acting in the English dub. This allows the viewers to understand the characters better.
The scene where Kanade protects Kaho from other boys at school? It’s surprisingly touching. And the dub brings out the sincerity in his actions.
Why You Should Watch (Or Rewatch!)
If you’re looking for something lighthearted and funny, the First Love Monster English dub is perfect. It’s a great way to unwind after a long day.
Even if you've already seen the original Japanese version, the English dub offers a fresh perspective. The voice acting and script adaptations add a new layer of humor and entertainment.
So, grab some snacks, settle in, and prepare to laugh. You might just find yourself falling in love with this bizarre but charming anime all over again! The first episode is the perfect place to start your journey into the ridiculous romance between Kaho and Kanade.
