Line 47:
** Deconstructions:
*** ''[[Ranma ½]]''. Aired in Japan from 1989 to 1992, and based on the manga of the same name by [[Rumiko Takahashi]], ''Ranma ½'' is a fusion of romance/comedy and shonen fighting, and was, along with ''Sailor Moon'', one of the early-1990s gateway anime for North American fans. It is also a Deconstruction of the still [[Unbuilt Trope]] of the [[Unwanted Harem]], although most of this flies over the head of [[Values Dissonance|Western]] viewers, as they don't realize the [[Pillars of Moral Character|very real Japanese moral dilemma]] Ranma is in. (Being engaged to more than one girl is [[Serious Business]].) This series is also the [[Trope Codifier]] for the [[Love Dodecahedron]] sub-genre, with every member of the [[Unwanted Harem]] having his or her own unrequited love interest, and is often considered the best example of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] -- the [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] trope was once called "Takahashi Couple" -- or even its [[Trope Codifier]].
