When did you realize that deconstruction anime is the greatest type of anime?

None of those are deconstructions

>still thinks eva is a deconstruction in 2022
newfags need the rope.

It isn't? How?

When did you realize that Naruto was better than HxH?

What exactly is Eva "deconstructing?"

At the beginning, /m/
After they squandered their budget and decided to go all "Intro to Psychology," fuck if I know

The mecha genre.

Oregairu was such shit
most entertaining moment was watching yukino cry

It's not.

read your Derrida, retard.

Ny problem with re zero is that while its a good story sometimes is less of a story and more torture/gore porn

Gundam as a serries already tackled the idea of the horrors of war and using child soldiers. Even parental abuse was often touched on, and that was back in 1981.
Too bad people are too busy jerking their cock to Asuka while pretending to have a psychology degree to watch Gundam.

It's a common cope to say things you don't like "are not a deconstruction" because somehow you think "deconstruction = quality", but if 1 anime was ever a deconstruction of a genre, it's Eva for the mecha genre.

madoka and evangelion dont deconstruct their genres. Watch gunbuster

first define deconstruction

The more I read and watch, the more I realize none of these(except maybe Madoka, I don’t watch many mahou Shoujo) are deconstructions.
They’re love letters to their genres, at least Eva and Monogatari are. They rely on numerous other parts of other stories, yet are chosen by what the author and creator liked most and wished for most to happen.
One comment In this thread is about GRRM deconstructing Tolkien. But it wasn’t like that.
GRRM wanted to see something have more focus on Lord of the Rings that didn’t happen, I.e. ruling and political intrigue. He wasn’t purposely deconstructing LOTR. He was adding in stuff he wanted to see and was pissed wasn’t there, and the rest is a love letter to all the stories of the genre he loved

The harem genre

there are no harem elements in Eva. Rei is apathetic to him, Asuka is tsundere but nothing actually happens until EoE, and fuck the rebuilds

Deconstructed is satire but not a comedy

Good post. I will add to your post and say that madoka is not one either. And it's not the only dark story to happen in mahou shoujo. I honestly can't think of anything that is legitimately a deconstruction.

Gundam is toy commercial trash
at least watch Invincible Superman Zambot 3

>gloomy hot girl is apathethic to him
sounds like harem
>nothing actually happens until the movie
that is true, a harem show would never allow something to happen, not even in the movie

Madoka is the furthest from being a deconstruction on the list.
It's barely even a mahou shoujo in the first place, and certainly not one of the good ones.

It just became a colloquial term for subversion, but even then it's mostly just used to mean any kind of dark elements in a genre the poster isn't familiar with. I mean Eva's setting is basically crossover fanfiction about SHADO having an Ultra and they even did a whole Thunderbirds homage episode, It's a love letter through and through and the only way you'd miss that is by not knowing the cultural and artistic context.

That's because deconstructionism is a kind of literary and philosophical critique focusing on complex naval gazing about meaning in language not a genre of fiction or a narrative device.

I don't see SNAFU as a deconstruction desu.

They're all toy commercials you fucking retard

they do be lit af doe fr fr

From what I understand from its original meaning, a literary deconstruction is when a work examines the the implicit assumptions of the genre, trying to find any contradictions between them. For example, here are two elements of the idol genre:

>idols are supposed to not fall in love
>idols are supposed to sing songs about falling in love

A deconstruction would then point out that an idol can't really sing songs about falling in love if they've never fallen in love before. And the resolution to this contradiction could happen in multiple ways. Perhaps the idol does the boyfriend and is able to sing a beautiful love song, but when her fans find out about him, they all abandon her. Another possibility is that the idol tries her best but simply can't sing about love songs very well, stiffing her career and dooming her to obscurity. Or who knows. Post modern french philosophers aren't exactly the most concrete theorists.

It's basically when author deliberately deceives readers' expectations about the genre.

That's a subversion.

its a deconstruction of the romcom genre because it neither funnny nor romantic

Deconstruction is essentially a story with genre commentary. That's the definition for retards but Yea Forums will refuse to understand even that much.

Bokurano did it better

Nothing. Evangelion is shit.

People who use edgy are usually retards that don't know what it means. Edgy! = any violence

It's okay. Hopefully you know that you aren't any more clever for indulging in that sort of thing.

>a literary deconstruction is when a work examines the the implicit assumptions of the genre
no you're still missing the point by thinking of it
1. as a type of narrative
2. in the context of genre fiction
it's a theory of literature and language

It would be much better if you stop assuming user is one person.
Some people consider it uncouth to watch shit get torn apart by some faggot cynic. Such is life.
As long as it works and avoids the dreaded
>I don't care what happens to these people
then everything kosher, no?

>43 minutes
you think I'm watching all of that?

Fuck Evangelion

Only deconstruction on that list is Eva.

>deconstruction denotes the pursuing of the meaning of a text to the point of exposing the supposed contradictions and internal oppositions upon which it is founded
I don't see why you couldn't apply something like that to genre fiction in particular. But I'm not a philosopher, so you can probably disregard what I'm saying.

You don't know anime, mecha or eva history. Retard. Don't make me post proof newfag. Going get BTFO bitch.

All anime are toy commercials especially eva. Why else do you own rei & asuka merchandise?

That's no excuse to deliberately misunderstand what deconstruction is and then claim it's not a real word because they don't understand it.

This.

Only the second half of the chimera ant arc is a deconstruction. Everything else in hxh is shonenshit played straight.

if you're a fucking nerd, deconstruction is analysis of some media, "deconstructing" its parts to show how it works, like this book for example.
if you're a fucking normalfag then """deconstruction""" is either a show that does the opposite of normal tropes, or the main character suffers a lot

Okay I will admit that is actually a good layman's definition of deconstruction. Then which on the OP are deconstructions and which are not?

Here's TL;DR:
> word "deconstruction" is meaningless
> tvtropes bad
