Deconstructive anime

What is your opinion on anime that subvert of the tropes and themes of the genre they're part of and are able to make a good impression while doing so? For example:
>Neon Genesis Evangelion - Mecha
>Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - Magical Girl
>Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Isekai
>Ishuzoku Reviewers - Ecchi

They don't though

Deconstruction doesn't mean subversion of tropes and themes of the genre they're part of.

Re:Zero isn’t a deconstruction, Subaru might be a deconstruction of the standard MC’s hero complex initially but it plays it straight afterwards.

What does it mean then?

Deconstruction (or deconstructionism) is an approach which pursues the meaning of a text to the point of exposing the supposed contradictions and internal oppositions upon which it is founded—supposedly showing that those foundations are irreducibly complex, unstable, or impossible.

Blue Reflection as an actual subversion of magical girl done right. Madoka not so much.

>subversion of tropes and themes of the genre they're part of.
They don't even do that.

>Deconstruction (or deconstructionism) is a buzzword.
Agreed.

A buzzword stops being a buzzword if you use that word correctly.

>Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Isekai
>Ishuzoku Reviewers - Ecchi

ninibros...

Frankly, as said the deconstruction is more about pushing tropes to the logical extremum and watching where the cracks show. Despite it's association with edge, this doesn't neccessary mean that the deconstruction will be something dark or particularly subversive.

For example, the Aizawa-san Zoushoku is magical girlfriend/harem series that deconstructs quite a few popular tropes about waifus, especially kuudere and concept of perfect waifu. It's still lovey dovey comedy and more meaningfull emotional scenes where the tropes are pushed to the logical conclusion serve as the foundation of both more serious romantic bonding and gags. And the conventions about ideal cool beauty aren't subverted by making Shino into two faced slob who only looks like a cool beauty to others or something like that. Rather, Shino is shown as normal, if high spec, girl. Exploring her personality, including traits that created her cool beauty persona and effects of her reputation on her relationship, push the associated tropes to the logical conclusion.

For example, Shino's quiet, reserved nature is shown to be result of her introverted personality. And the "cool mistique" combined with her beauty, academic and sports skills makes her popular in general sense, but also means that she lacked close friends untill she started to open herself. All in all, story basically starts with her as waifu and slowly shows that under the idealised facade, she is just a girl. High spec girl, but still a girl with flaws and insecurities.

Both subvert certain tropes of magical girls genre but I wouldn't call it "deconstructive". Nanoha is more deconstructive - it started out like any magical girls shows then it turns out the magic and the alien planet it comes from are so powerful they are actually a multiversal hegemony, and your titular magical girl blatantly relies on gunboat diplomacy and eventually joins said power as a cog in its military machine and engages in political intrigues. In this way it took every concept in the genre to its realistic extremes and completely torn it down.

Deconstruction? More like de-leted from my drive am I right

What does this mean?

Eva doesn't deconstruct mecha it's just a character study

>Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Isekai
>deconstruction means having the most generic show and absolutely godawful writing possible

>And the "cool mistique" combined with her beauty, academic and sports skills makes her popular in general sense, but also means that she lacked close friends untill she started to open herself.
that's not a deconstruction you idiot

Eva is straight up just a mecha show. Shinji even has a similar arc to Amuro in the first half of Gundam, he just never arrives at the point that he integrates the killing into his identity because Eva ends before that happens.

But user, every mecha character before eca was a one dimensional non entity, so being a character study is a deconstruction.
