There are many things synonymous with manga and anime that pretty much everyone adores. One such aspect of anime that has remained consistent since the early going is the characters' tendency to strike an over-the-top pose that's often highly impractical yet immensely satisfying to watch at the same time. These anime poses have become a part of the public consciousness. Even those who have never watched anime before might recognize them from memes, scenes, and easter eggs tucked away in other media.
