Original scene from Juusenki L-Gaim (1985), featuring Gaw ha Leecee.
An often-parodied sword pose associated with the animation studio Sunrise. Believed to have been started by a scene from Juusenki L-Gaim drawn by animator Oobari Masami (though the original scene features an energy cannon instead).
The pose consists of a character holding a sword (or other weapon) in a fighting stance with the tip of the weapon angled very close to the camera. The camera angle and the extreme foreshortening make the weapon appear much larger than normal.
