Don't watch this anime.
With the statement above out of the way, I'll get right to the point: this is depravity. I've watched some really morally-dubious anime, and I've played some absolutely-not-morally-"dubious" videogames, and have come across some media online which have probably gotten some people in jail, but somehow Hatsukoi Monster has managed to top it all, not because it is necessarily, in practical terms, disgusting, but because this anime is built around characters and situations which are simply the work of people whose hard drives need to be checked to ensure the safety of many members of the younger generations.
The premise of this one anime, which will certainly not get past Saint Peter the day a solar storm fries every single electronic device on this planet and entirel…

AHHHHHHH I give this a -100,000,000,000 I hated this soooooo much!!!!!!!! It was so wrong!!! Don't get me wrong it had slight potential the animation was beautiful everyone was beautiful the plot and the characters personalities sucked!!!! Kaho literally a teen, 15 to be exact. Okay good for her she's short, she's cute, she's your average loli/school girl. Kanade is a 10 year old that looks like he could be rocking 17 years old maybe even 20 years old, he's 10, TEN YEARS OLD!!!!! For some odd reason he has fully gone through puberty at the age of 10. But it's not just him it's him and like 2 or 3 other classmates too(I can't remember now). First of all how?! why?! with who's permission?! *breathes* So they're all 10 year old boys, looking like 17 year old boys acting like 10 year old boys.…

There are these idiotic teenagers who think I consider them friends, and since I've known one of them since my junior year of high school, I feel obligated to keep that up with her friends too. The fact that the same situation is presented with the main character in this anime, makes me love the characters even more. It's crass, elementary school level humor never ceases to be funny. The deuteragonist, Kaede is and I'm kind of ashamed to say this as a 20 year old, pretty hot. Inside and out. As Nikaido struggles to make all of her roommates happy, she learns important lessons about the outside world. Which becomes even more eye-opening considering they're from elementary schoolers! I don't know how to go on without revealing the plot details. But all you need to know is that this show is w…

well. i watched some eps and dropped. but i wanted to finish idk why, so i did.
why i did this.
first of all, the history is stupid. a high schooler with a fifth grader? ok, fine, i really don´t care about this age hole. the worst is the whole anime.
the protagonist is amazingly stupid. kaho is a inutile. and i HATE how this anime potray kanade. a fifth grader don´t act like this. most of them have a little bit of intelligence. and sometimes he is useful, but the anime likes to turn him into a complete idiot. i hate all of the characters. this anime is a complete bullshit. and the unnecessary poop and penis jokes..
if you want to watch a cool, cute romance anime, go watch kimi ni todoke or maid-sama. they are very better.
the art is okay. could be better, but is not the worst.

this show is a monster itself
Story: to be honest the first episode wasn't that bad in fact it was setting up for an interesting show although right after the first episode everything was beginning to go south with thing getting weird and a bit mess up like i think the series knew what wrong with it and tends to mock itself. i like romance series but this isn't romance this is more like tempting the boundaries now don't get me wrong this is a fantasy i i like forbidden romance or star cross lover types but here it hard to believe especially when a elementary kids looks like he is in high school or can pass as an adult and so that make it fantasy but the romance is awkward and bit out of sort.
Character: the MC she never been outside her home and so she doesn't quite understand how everyt…

Primitive, easy-watching anime. No real culmination or denouement. No greater characters development. There are some attempts to create intrigue however there is no further elaboration of it.
This is not what I have expected from comedy, romance anime. Furthermore, as far as I am concerned, shoujo anime could be with less dick jokes and focus more on hilarious hatsukoi (first love) based situations.
On the other hand, I must say there are some funny moments. The deeper meaning might be found as well if you try very hard to see it.
All in all, this is not the anime which will make a huge impact on you. Some people may say it was a waste of time. Maybe it was. That would explain why the end of this anime was so quick. It seems to me that creators didn't want to spend more time on this ani…

Personally this anime is one of my favorites because its so stupid. It's the weirdest therefore the most entertaining. I will say that it can seem a bit strange during just about the entire thing but that's why it is so interesting. Don't watch this anime if you are looking for a love story because it would make you feel uncomfortable. Watch this Anime If you want to cry your eyes out by how weird and surprising it can be throughout. I heard some people think the age difference is huge when in reality that age gap is actually normal when it comes to adulthood. My loved this show not for the story but for all the "What the actually heck is going on now" vibe. Highly recommend because of the journey it takes you through.

Well another attempt of breaking the paradigm that ended just as stupid as the mess with non sense that this anime provides.
Story - 1
Stupid story with no sense, a lot of plot holes, dumb characters and situations that the creators thought were funny, excessive amount of stupid unfunny dick jokes. The ending also is dumb as hell.
Art - 4
At first look you can see the the animation isn't nothing special I would rather describe as annoying, the colors are bright but the type of character design destroys everything.
Sound - 3
The sound was average nothing really outstanding , the soundtrack also was bad, no track stood out.
Characters - 1
All the men look like recycled copies with different haircut thats it. The main character design wasn't nothing outstanding. Their personalities are cli…

All of the reviews posted so far seem to be complaining about this anime. If you're looking for plot and character development in an anime about a high school girl falling in love with a primary schooler than you are really confused and should prepare to be disappointed.
However if you're expecting a moderately entertaining, light-hearted, series about a weird group of inappropriate friends then you'll be satisfied.
I enjoyed the series as an otaku who is used to anime tropes and so can enjoy them objectively and make fun of them. Thats what this anime is supposed to be about, making fun of the weird things that are normal in anime culture like little kids being drawn as sexy adults and family members who are overly doting to the point of obsession and dedicated butlers who take the pla…

I think this might be because of my own warped sense of humor, but in some ways, I enjoyed this. I even had to pause it at times because I had laughed out loud at either sheer stupidity, or what I can only describe as masterful art direction.
Okay, I had heard of this manga a few years ago after seeing a screencap of some dude with a melodica down on his knees singing a rock ballad at a school playground. That in of itself was enough to make me, I dunno, interested? Sure.
So I sat down and watched the first episode and to its credit, laughed my ass off. I was vaguely interested in the plot about Kaho and remember getting a laugh out of the movers flexing their tit muscles dramatically, but it wasn't until the backpack scene that I got a good hearty chest cough out of it. A really phlegm…

The really low reviews and ratings on this is what made me curious, I wanted to see what it was all about because the synopsis actually sounded decent to me.
I've never heard wiener said so many times said in an anime, especially just in the first episode.. But I didn't hate it.
It is a little weird hearing 'kids' that look like older teenagers talking and acting like children.
Kaho is adorable, she's been pretty sheltered in her life. People wouldn't do anything wrong to her or talk to her certain ways because of who her parents are, so when somebody finally does she has no idea how to react, other than thinking people want something from her because of what family she's from. But she's also very innocent and both her and Kanade are pretty oblivious.
The romantic parts between Kaho an…

Story (6) :
It's actually quite a strange story because of the fact that it's about two lovers where one is still in elementary school while the other in high school. Because of this many people dislike the anime while there are goods points about it. People explain to Kaho how she should react and what it is to be in love so the messages it brings are ni…

After watching the first episode I thought this was going to be a pretty good comedy. I even turned some people onto the first episode because I thought the premise was pretty funny and unique. Then it quickly stopped being funny and became a real romance story between a high school girl and an elementary school kid.
After watching the first episode you might assume that the story is going to be big joke watching this girl try to find a way out of her relationship without hurting the guy's feelings, and also try to hide her relationship status from other people so they don't get the wrong idea. Then it just becomes a story about how this girl is actually legitimately in love with this child. That story is just annoying and weird, and the background characters can be described in the same…

I actually considered this on my summer watchlist because I needed a romantic comedy to balance out the list. What I got is a pretty weird romanctic comedy with lots of bleeps and lots pedophiles. It was cringey and sometimes the show can be a drag so I can't really say if you should watch it unless you have some kind of weird fetish.
Story:
It centers around a high school rich girl who stays at a dorm away from her family due to some cliche circumstances. There she meets this tall and mature looking guy who she instantly fell in love. But this guy has a secret and that if she finds it out, she might change her outlook on him, and that secret is that he is a grade schooler, so this is basically a cougar type of romance, there's a BIG difference in their age and their mental capacity.

Let’s make one thing clear. If you love penis jokes, gross indecent crushes and a siscon then this series is perfect for you. If you don’t; welcome to the world of common sense.
*PLOT PART COVERS LAST EPISODE SPOILERS*
Hatsukoi Monster was a show that I was looking forward to quite a bit. I’m a sucker for cute girls in plotless romance series (Ore Monogatari, Orange, etc). You see I don’t need a smashing ingenious plot to enjoy something. What I //do// need is a plot that doesn’t ridicule me. And well. That’s where this show went wrong.
Plot:
While the first few episodes introduce us to our characters and how they handle each other. (This actually had me rooting for the show and shunning everyone who dared speak negativity of it.) Soon enough some questionable things got introduced. A g…

TL:DR at the end
~Contains spoilers~
Have you ever thought about what it would be like if all the kids you babysit were hot bishie airheads who made penis jokes and periodically break up with you because of reason's shallower than the kiddie pool at your local country club? No? Good, then you're normal.
The author of Hatsukoi Monster clearly is not.

STORY: 1/10
Exactly what you would expect from a shoujo story, the only difference being that the parts you can't stand (ex. melodrama, breakups, jealousy, stupid comedy) are magnified by a tenfold. Other than a couple laughs due to the absolute ridiculousness of making 5th grade boys look like college students, and the author's deluded dream of pedophilia becoming legal, the story has absolutely not…

Hatsukoi Monster (My First Love Monster)
Art: The art style in this show is pretty reminiscent of older decades of anime from the early 2000s/1990s, but seems to have a little bit of an updated feel to it, as seen in various characters. The thing to really look at here as a giveaway is the way that the eyes are placed and drawn, especially Kaho’s. The characters, individually, are all really great and the way that Kanade and his friends look makes for some pretty interesting dynamics between them and other kids their age. Each of the characters is easily defined and after an episode or two it is easy to remember the differences, even though some of the facial structure and hair is similar. The colors present in the show are really interesting, the way that they use color, or rather an arr…

When it comes to romance, one thing you must keep in mind is that appearances aren't everything. I'm not just talking about personalities, either; what I mean is that chances are that a hot guy you've seen before is actually WAY younger than you. Let me get one thing straight; I knew all along that Hatsukoi Monster wasn't going to be good. The manga already isn't all that well-received, and when I read a few chapters of it myself, I found myself getting more bored with it than a lot of other shoujo manga I've read. Just for the sake of writing a review, though, I ended up watching the anime adaptation, and.... well, you'll understand when you read this review.
Ladies and little boys who look like gentlemen, here's my review of "Hatsukoi Monster", a.k.a. "First Love Monster".

During the first half of 2016, we've seen a sort of resurgence of Studio DEEN, a studio that previously was only really known for working on trash for the most part. Winter brought KonoSuba and Rakugo Shinjuu to the table, both of which are shows that surprised a great deal of people, and are even getting sequels in 2017. Spring brought us Sakamoto desu ga, which, if anything, was probably the best way to execute a single joke throughout 12 episodes. But then in Summer 2016, we get the show that I'm reviewing today. Hatsukoi Monster was something I picked up on a whim, not even aware of what it was really going to be, but in the end, it wasn't worth it in the slightest.
The premise to Hatsukoi Monster is one that is sure to turn off many, as it involves bishounens dating a dense girl. The…

Having watched through the entire series, I can honestly say that the title is suiting, for this series is monstrous. There is a lot I have to say about “First Love Monster”, and it’s not exactly what many may be thinking of. While this wasn’t a show I was entirely looking forward to for that season, but the synopsis still caught my interest. Unfortunately, what I ended up getting was twelve episodes of absolute garbage.
Let’s get the story portion out of the way. Reading the summary is what made me want to give it a try, and probably made everyone else not touch it with a 20-foot pole. Subject matter like this doesn’t faze me that much. However, the thing that bothered me during my time watching it was the execution. It’s supposed to be a “love story” yet it’s everything but that. This d…
