About

The Gainax Pose (Japanese: ガイナ立ち, Gaina Dachi; lit. “Gainax Standing Pose”) refers to an iconic pose often appearing on anime franchises produced by a Japanese anime studio Gainax.^[1] The concept of this cool and commanding pose has been shared among anime otakus since late 2000s, and it’s a popular subject on illustrators communities.

Origin

The first appearance of this pose, later called as “Gainax Pose”, is a scene in the 4th episode of original animation video (OAV) Gunbuster^[2] released by Gainax in 1988-89, where Gunbuster is standing with its arms crossed and coming up to deck of a space warship slowly in its first launch (shown, below, left). This robot’s pose also appears on later episodes along with the protagonist’s same pose with her face filled with strong determination against the battle for the future of the earth (shown below, right).

As same as many other scenes and settings in the anime, this pose is also the homage to a panel in the 2nd title of Getter Robo^[3] series, Getter Robo G^[4], written by Ken ishikawa in 1975, where Getter Dragon standing on the head of a metal beast Uzala is coming up from under the sea with its arms crossed in the final battle.

Spread

This pose began to catch an attention among anime otakus by two Gainax’s works in the middle of 2000s. One is the sequel OAV for the anime Diebuster^[5] released in 2004-2006. Since main characters struck this pose in many highlights as the self homage to the original Gunbuster and its pilots, this pose became to be recognized as an iconic pose of that anime studio among viewers of the anime. The name “Gainax Pose” was originally coined to refer that pose in Diebuster by them.

The other is 2007 TV anime Gurren Lagann that scenario was written by Kazuki Nakashima^[6], the well-known follower of Ken Ishikawa and Getter Robo series. Since “Gainax Pose” is often cited as the signature pose also in this smash hit anime in that year, its moniker and concept came to be shared among many Japanese anime viewers.

By establishment of presence as the pose holding special meanings and atmospheres, “Gainax Pose” is known as a popular motif for illustrations in online illustrators communities. Fan creations or parodies of characters striking “Gainax Pose” have been continually posted to the Japanese illustrators communities pixiv^[7] and Nico Nico Seiga^[8] since the middle of 2008. And, some of them are reprinted to Tumblr.^[9]

Notable Examples

Manner

“Gainax Pose” doesn’t means a simple arm-crossed pose. It’s recognized that these 3 points are important to be called as “Gainax Pose” in the illustrators communities.

• Atmosphere of the stately appearance
• Character’s commanding look filled with strong determination or pride
• Excessive visual effects by winds, smoke, flames, splashes, lights, particles, etc…

Ghost in the Shell Opening Parodies (Japanese: 攻殻OPパロ) refer to a series of parody videos for the opening movie of a Japanese TV anime series Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG.^[1] In particular, the cool shot in the movie is given a nickname “GitS Pose” (攻殻立ち, Kokaku Dachi; lit. “GitS Standing Pose”) by fans and it’s a popular subject for fan works by Japanese amatuer illustrators.

Origin

The anime Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG was originally aired 26 episodes on a PPV channel from January 2004 to January 2005. But it finally reached to large audiences by terrestrial channels’ broadcasting from April to September of 2005. The song for the opening, “rise”, was written by Japanese composer Yoko Kanno^[2] who is also famous for her works in many anine/game franchises such as "Tank!" in Cowboy Bebop and "Interstellar Flight" in Macross Frontier. Meanwhile, the scene that later became to earn popularity appears at 0:57-0:58 in the movie, where members of Public Security Section 9 are standing out in a row against white background and each of them is looking in different directions.

Spread

There are several earliest instances of parodies for this opening movie. One is a flash movie reproducing it by Shift-JIS arts that was posted to 2channel‘s /aa/ (Shift-JIS arts) board in January 2005.^[3] The other is a MAD video of Black Lagoon^[4] uploaded to YouTube in 2006.^[5] But, substantial increase in popularity of this series started after several MAD or hand-drawn animated videos featuring _The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, THE iDOLM@STER and Akagi^[6] made smash hits on the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga in late 2007 and 2008.^[7]

“Stop! You Intend to Rape Me, Right? Just Like in an Ero Doujin!” (Japanese: やめて! 私に乱暴する気でしょう? エロ同人みたいに！, Yamete! Watashi ni Ranbou Suruki Deshou? Ero Doujin Mitaini!), usually called “Just Like in an Ero Doujin” (エロ同人みたいに, Ero Doujin Mitaini) for short, is a catchphrase in parody photo collages or illustrations on the Japanese web. This metafictional phrase used by creators is a sort of a couplet to viewers side’s catchphrase I’ve Seen Enough Hentai To Know Where This Is Going”in the English-speking web.

Origin

The original phrase was coined in "Ptolemy Private Academy ~ The Burning “Tntervention” Transfer Student: the Second Season" (私立トレミー学園 炎のKAINYU転校生 セカンドシーズン, Shiritsu Toremy Gakuen Honoo no Kainyu Tenkousei Second Season), a non-adult gag doujin comic for one of the incarnations in Gundam franchise Mobile Suit Gundam00.^[1] It was released by a doujin circle OMEGA2-D at Comiket75 in December 2008.

In the story, Marina Ismail^[2], known as the “poverty princess” among fans, uttered this phrase when she was arrested by cultivating potatos in a public park and taken away to an interrogation room. This scene itself is also a parody for the original episode in the anime.

Translation:

Marina: Stop… You intend to rape me, right? (やめて… 私に乱暴する気でしょう?)
Marina: Just like an ero doujin. (エロ同人みたいに)
Guard: No way. Move your ass! (しねーよ とっとと入れ!)

Spread

In the early days, this metafictional remark had been just an in-joke among some female Gundam Otakus due to the popularity of the doujin circle among them. Then, it became to be used in photo collages as a punch line which gave a surrealistic lulz to pictures in the middle of 2010. One of the well known instances in the earliest days is this Rei Miyamoto’s version that utilizes a panel from Japanese comic Highschool of The Dead^[3] (Shown below). Pixiv Encyclopedia^[4] says the style of this parody, repeating “Just Like an Ero Doujin” twice, was established by this collaged photo.

Those collaged photos were mainly posted to Futaba Channel (2chan) or linked to 2channel. And blogs summarizing threads for those collaged photos in each forums began spreading the manner of this parody in the late of that year. Besides, an illustration for Yayoi Kise from the Japanese TV anime series Fresh Precure introduced this catchphrase into parody illustrations in illustrators communities pixiv^[5] and Nico Nico Seiga^[6] in early 2012. It was drawn by the Japanese semi-professional illustrator Yu Matsushita who is also known as the creator of Glasses Sayaka.

‘Little Dolls’ is a series of ‘unsettling’ portraits from Alain Delorme, a notable 4chan user who occasionally browses the /b/ and /p/ boards. Recently they’ve gotten popular on /b/ for having a strong Uncanny-Valley factor heavy applied, through photo-manipulative programs, to the ‘Dolls’ in the images.

Origin

Around October in 2013, an anonymous poster took to 4chan’s /b/ board to post a series of Alain Delorme’s ‘Little Dolls’ collection. Roughly an hour after posting the full set, the poster revealed himself to be none other than Alain himself. Gaining a reputation on 4chan for his weird works, the photographer started posting in /p/ boards to get himself recognized by the photography community. To his dismay, the internet hacking group Anonymous didn’t take kindly to his works involving children; going as far to label him a pedophile for attempting to make the girls in the ‘Little Dolls’ set appear attractive by applying adult eyes and mouth for an alluring & seductive effect. In spite of Alain Delorme, Anonymous edited the Little Dolls to look like famous 4chan figures. These vary from exchanging the girl’s faces with Chris Hansen, Christopher Poole, and many others. Nowadays, it isn’t just Anonymous anymore looking to making ‘lulzy’ edits but random 4chan users in general.

Spread

From time to time, at least once a day, one may get a glance of a ‘Little Dolls’ thread on the /b/ board. These threads are created by their respective OPs usually in hope to terrify other anons with the original work. Rarely, the threads are created in hopes that people can give their criticisms about the meaning behind the pictures. So far, this ‘meme’ has yet to breach onto other social sites apart from 4chan.
