"[...] I'm actually completely okay with considering [Samurai Flamenco as] a deconstruction of the hero genre because it is a show that seeks out to take the tropes [around the genre], examine them, comment on them and subvert their intentions. That's what a deconstruction is to me. It's when you take the genre and your show is about commenting on the nature of the genre. You're taking it apart, seeing what it does, sort-of analyzing it. —Digibro, Reacting to Watchmojo's Asinine Anime Deconstruction Video (in response to Top 10 Genre Deconstruction in Anime)
