FMA:B and Frieren both are great in dub. Kaguya-sama has an absolutely fantastic dub narrator. Most romcom dubs really detract from the show but that is an exception.
The Kaguya-sama dub is good, but having watched the entire series in both Japanese and English (in that order) the narrator is actually the one thing I could never get used to—I prefer the mostly played-straight Japanese narration to the jokey American narration, since I think it fits more with the overall tone of the series where the silliness of the "war" is heightened by the melodramatic acting, direction, and music. That being said, the friends I watched the dub with similarly pointed to the narrator as one of their favorite things about the show, so I seem to be in the minority here, and obviously my opinion is colored by having watched the sub first.
Yeah, I agree with everything you said and given the votes you might not be in the minority with that opinion. I see the jokey melodrama as the heart of that show so the narrator adds to it for me.
