sunrise stance
Category: general
Also known as: サンライズ立ち, 勇者立ち, サンライズパース, 勇者パース, 大张一刀流, 大張一刀流
An often-parodied sword pose associated with the animation studio Sunrise (company). 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). Also sometimes referred to as the "Brave Perspective" for it's common usage throughout the Yuusha Series.
The pose consists of a character holding a sword (or other weapon) around their waist 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.
