What’s your favorite piece of media that acts a deconstruction of the genre/medium?

My personal favorite for flawed reasons is Madoka because I was there for the live reactions to the infamous episode and it was magical watching everyone lose their shit. It was also my re-introduction to anime after being shamed out of it for liking sailor moon as a kid.

Honestly, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t popular here. A pretty common interpretation, imo, is that

Kyuubey represents capitalism and patriarchy, among other things. I also have compelling evidence that he was behind 9/11.

That’s dope and mind expanding because I never considered that. I just assumed the hate boner this place has for anime meant anything that could be considered loli is haram.

kyubey is exploiting young girls into sacrificing their lives to make an abstract number go up while telling them that this is actually empowering. i don’t have much beyond that, but you could definitely find a valid reading.
