>Neon Genesis Evangelion is a deconstruction of shounen >One

EVA is not a deconstruction of shounen but of mecha, OPM is not a parody of shounen because shounen isn't a gnere, Madoka is not a parody but a dark mahou shoujo.

People should know that calling something deconstruction doesn't make it better, you can make a deconstruction and end being horseshit

>>136115160
And you should know that people really only call it one because the only complaint people spew, that it's inspired by other shows, is meaningless.

>>136114981
Shonen is just a demographic you fag,you can't deconstruct it

>>136115428
Watch Hunter x Hunter retard

Hunter X Hunter has nothing to do with monthly girls.

>Is a defensive cult a sign that an anime is bad, or merely a consequence of being popular?
Debatable. A better question, however, might be: "Is an unrelated image in the OP a sign that a thread is bad, or merely a consequence of OP being a fag?"

It's got to be the latter, because all anime is bad anyway

>>136115593
Battle shounen you fucking retard

>all this Eva shitposting
Did anyone actually understand what they watched

Did they even watch Evangelion at all?

>>136115428
You absolutely can, unless you think you're just so fucking profound that no one can possibly sum you up simply like the basic motherfucker that you are.

>>136115702
So

Battle?

>>Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a parody of mahou shoujo
Parodies are usually funny.

>>Neon Genesis Evangelion is a deconstruction of shone
What?

>>One Punch Man is a satire of shone
More like a satire of the superhero genre

>>136115735
As far as I can tell, the average /a/non who watched it did so without really paying any fucking attention. Then some time passed and their whimsical halfassed interpretations, warped perceptions of the "good old days" and kneejerk emotional reactions overrode any understanding of the facts about the show that they managed to notice.

Add to that the shitty atmosphere of petty, quasi-tribal elitistic contrarianism and we're here.

what if /a/ had existed during the original airing of NGE?

>>136114981

>Eva
Self-insertion haremshit with robots, people think it's deep because its omits a few setting details

>OPM
Gintama with a capeshit coat of paint

>Madoka
MS made for creepy otaku instead of girls

>>136115523
the only thing HXH deconstructs is the concept of "weekly" manga

>>136115997
>More like a satire of the superhero genre
opm is more about dragon ball and hokuto than superman and batman.

>>136114981
The latter

>>136115771
Shounen is a fucking demographic,it hasn't definite characteristics since the only requisite is appealing to a teenage audience.Hence you can't deconstruct it.

>calling anything "a deconstruction"

>>136116196
At this point, assuming you are serious, I'd like to ask: what kind of stories do you enjoy?
I'm genuinely curious.

>>136114981
>implying popularity isn't a sign that an anime is bad

>>136116471
They didn't actually indicate that they didn't enjoy those shows.
>>136116276
damn

It's popular and different ( by different I mean it's not Dragon ball/ Naruto/One Piece etc.) So they think it's the first anime to ever do that.

>>136116300
opm is about heroes

>>136114981
But those things are true, you fool

>>136116461
There is such a thing as a deconstruction; It's just generally going to be a lengthy dissertation full of big words. Not an anime.

>>136114981
It's a consequence of a show being good/different and the cult wanting to feel superior to every other fandom.

NGE: the pussy MC is nothing new. Amuro broke down plenty of times in Gundam and loss of innocence is a standard theme in everything. It's different and it's not afraid to piss off it's audience.

One Punch Man is an accessible action-comedy. Satire implies it has a point beyond a meme and a few decent laughs.

PMMM just has a dark atmosphere. The show is still mahou shoujo at its core with some nice twists.
