Animated (descending):

Live-action:

  • Simon Birch (really bad; hilariously melodramatic, ham-handed, and predictable)

Nisemonogatari (Wow. That toothbrush scene is really something else, isn't it? Pity that the second arc is wooden, and the first arc didn't make much sense.)

In general, I'm of the oppinion that Nisemonogatari was a step down from its predecesor, Bakemonogatari.

That generally seems to be the consensus which is a shame because I recently finished Bakemonogatari and loved it. I'm still going to watch the rest of the series though.

Indeed. It would be pretty hard to beat Bakemonogatari, though.
