What thing have in common Evangelion, Madoka Magica and Re:Zero? The three are a critic of their respective genres. The typical mecha anime show us a main character that is usually a hot-blooded teenager who gets in a robot and saves the world with it along with the power of love and friendship. In Evangelion we see that the idea of putting kids into giant robots is downright insane, a normal teenager can't be expected to mentally endure it. The typical magical girl (mahou shoujo) anime has as main character a young naive girl of pure heart who gets magical powers and saves the world with them. In Madoka Magica the idea of having young teenage girls fight to death to protect the world is just as crazy as it was with boys in robots, and even if you are a heroine with magical powers you are still human, so you still may suffer from selfish desires, and your emotions make you vulnerable, even with the power of love and friendship. The isekai (other/different world) anime, where our main protagonist usually is a japanese student/gamer/otaku/NEET/hihikomori that is transported to another world with the purpose to save it, acquiring powers and becoming the hero, (Sword Art Online for example), Re:Zero criticizes this. The show focuses on how a socially withdrawn nerd would really function in a fantasy world, expecting to be a hero, but carrying over all his personal flaws from our world, showing the spectator that he is a simple human trapped in a world he don't understand. This is my personal top 3 of anime that review his own genre and criticizes the cliches, if you are tired of watching plotless anime full of fanservice/ecchi, I recommend you to see the 3 above.
