Is Naruto the best deconstruction of the shonen genre?
Asher Diaz
Dominic Ramirez
Only the pain arc of the Manga
Caleb Johnson
No, that's Bleach.
>power of friendship does fuck all
>the villain had more noble goals, both times
>MC is psychotic and has multiple personalities
>the "good guys" are actually evil assholes
Angel Lopez
Wasn't that Hunter x Hunter?
Carter Nguyen
Nigger it created the generic shonen genre
Carter Bennett
that was actually pretty good.
Leo Hall
what is it deconstructing?
John Morales
a good setting
Parker Howard
why do you think the setting is good, and how does said deconstruction differ from other anime/manga?
Lucas Russell
its own plot/message
Jeremiah Bailey
>why do you think the setting is good
Because 15 years ago semi-modern ninja village cold war was a neat concept.
>and how does said deconstruction differ from other anime/manga?
I was memeing, I don't actually have an opinion about deconstruction and Naruto I just wanted to make a funny about it being shit and destroying itself.
Ayden Martinez
How many times does he repeat that they're both similar? Holy shit what terrible writing
Sebastian Baker
>dude why does this guy who's trying to show how similar they are keep pointing out how they're similar????
Andrew Wright
Naruto peaked at rain village, from any standpoint
Jonathan Reed
One of the most Kino fights in anime. No fight has ever surpassed it in terms of QUALITY or style
Daniel Anderson
Every single arc villain is "similar" to Naruto.
Carson Young
No they aren't
James Ortiz
Then the Pain arc was completely ruined when every character who died was resurrected.
Josiah Young
>They don't know what QUALITY means
>they are from Sup Forums
>they just use buzzwords
>they don't know animation
>they are 19
Jonathan White
it cheapened the weight of Naruto sparing Nagato because it had no real consequence but I'd say he deserved that one
it wouldn't have disturbed me had the series ended there
Kevin Rodriguez
more like destruction am i right
Jason Long
Bleach also deconstructed what it meant to be a good piece of writing with actual plot and character development. Mainly because it had neither.
Kayden Clark
No one on Sup Forums knows what deconstructions means, and they misused it since 2011. It's a buzzword nowadays don't take seriously anyone who uses that word.
Lucas Smith
Actually The Promised Neverland is what the real "Shounen deconstruction" really is.
Jack Taylor
>if there's motion, it's good animation!
>doesn't matter how tone-destroyingly goofy it is!
Jordan Lee
more like a shonen with shoehorned shoujo elements.
Luke Powell
You need to go back.
Hunter Bailey
>what is fist of the north star
>what is dragonball
>what is inuyasha
>what is yu yu hakusho
