No, Madoka was.

I just want Fish Eye to be happy.

Define "deconstruction" first.

Don't all the sailor scouts die at the end or something? It's been ages since I've watched this.

Deconstruction is breaking down common, wish-fulfillment tropes that a certain genre is prone to. For example in the case of the Magical Girl genre, being a magical girl is normally considered to be a blessing and would make any girl's life fun and magical.

Now just take that idea and turn it on its head to its opposite.

They do but get better.

This is the first time i have ever seein someone defining ''desconstruction'' on 4chan even though people are often asking others to define it.
A magical moment.

>>150076432
I'm pretty sure that the earliest examples of magical girl series had dark plot lines that dealt with serious matters, so Sailor Moon didn't really cover any new ground in that respect.

It's not just about a series being "dark" or "dealing with serious matter" that makes something a deconstruction. The defining characteristic of it is breaking down wish-fulfillment tropes.

In the last arc of the Sailor Moon manga we clearly see that being a Senshi is terrible fate that results in a never ending "fight-die-fight" reincarnation cycle that helps to sustain the cosmos. This is in direct contrast to the usual tropes of the magical girl genre which has magic powers be a blessing for the girl in question, NOT a life sentence chained to the universe's will.

Yes, and it's better than Madoka.

The sailor senshi are such a fun bunch of characters.

>>150077695
Seriously. The Galaxy Cauldron was Kyubey before Kyubey even existed.

>>150078652
That's because Kenzaki Shirou was Kyubey before Kyubey even existed.

>Kenzaki Shirou

Literally who?

Learn your history.
Its the big bad from Kamen Rider Ryuki. The show Madoka was based on.
Kyubey was based on Kanzaki Shirou.
