Hi im something awful poster pandaK. i first started reading adtrw when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "idols" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "ganbarimas" and "nico nico nii~" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "idol" style of adtrw humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" idols to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
I hope that one day you get better and can continue enjoying anime in full once more.

i think i like tactics games more in general but they are also way more stressful, especially if its a good one

I really wish Netflix promoted their anime better. They have all sorts of normie-accessible stuff on there like Fate/zero, Eureka Seven, Madoka, FMA: Brotherhood, Nana, HxH 2011, etc. and yet the only thing they've put any effort into marketing was Knights of Sidonia (Seven Deadly Sins shows up in my queue, too, but I've never seen a banner for it or anything).

e: also, adding the Demifiend to the list of good male JRPG protags :colbert:

I watched BBK and it's alright, I guess. The CG didn't bother me although everything does look off slightly in a way I'm not sure I can articulate, like movement seemed weighed down but also frictionless... What a disorientating first episode though! I kind of have no idea what's going at all, the segment in the sky was cool and hooked me and then I bounced off the second half completely!

A deconstruction is, as far as I know, not specifically defined by any real authority. The commonly proposed definition is that a deconstruction takes a genre or type of story's tropes to their logical or realistic conclusions.

I think that many people consider the original TV series of Evangelion to be a deconstruction of the Super Robot genre (though it kinda straddles the line between Super and Real Robot). Gurren Lagann is often considered a "reconstruction," taking the old tropes and playing them straight in every possible way.

This season has been really good with first episodes so far. Or maybe it just feels that way cause I watched a bunch of anime in a single day?

Either way anime is good and this season is good.

Symphogear GX is the only anime which can truly be said to be about deconstruction.

Whenever I see someone call a anime a deconstruction I just read it as "I'm ashamed to admit I like this magical girl/giant robot anime, so I'm gonna pretend it's something really fancy so it's ok for me to like it"
