theres a lot of debate over what is and what isnt
so /a/, how would you pinpoint exactly what makes one?

This isn't going to be a proper literary definition, but a deconstruction series is one that is self-aware of its genre and makes use of known tropes and expected plot progressions, and either inverts or subverts them to explore suppositions that are taken for granted within that genre.

We'll discuss but first give us sauce for that comic i lost my imgur album of it.

We have a winner

Your definition make Nyaruko a deconstruction of both horror and toku.
>>150930504
itsnt that itself a concrete definition?
the authors intent is pretty much a yes/no question then. did you intend to subvert that? yes? then you count
I have no idea, and I doubt anyone else here does either.

Just try and make out what it means; I dare you!
Read Derrida
Then read Derrida again because you didn't understand any of it
Then read Derrida a 3rd time and begin to realize that not getting it is the point
Then deconstruct.
There are no deconstructions in anime as by the nature of deconstructions they are no longer a deconstruction if there are characters as it then becomes about those characters rather than the concepts themselves.

its just an excuse for shitty series
like how that guy who made The Room movie said that his movie was a deconstruction of movies

sounds like anything that subverts shit while offering something new to the table
so NGE is one
subverted the "everything is cool" shounen trope and brought forth an entire new genre
