he reply to the anime q' is GREAT!!!
But, as to the 2nd part, it is a very asian poase, which shows the delicacy, fragility, and therefore, need for male protection in the traditional jap (make that asian) female.
In the heavily patriarchal societies (at least by tradition) of the leading Asian nations, this view was cultivated very strongly, and even today (especially in Japan) leaves a deep impression on society.
Also psychollogically, this pose shows (body language) the putting up of barriers between yourself and others, as well as a feeling of uncertainty and fear (insecurity).
Hence, such an image is able to easily convey this image of insecurity and defencelessness, and has been used as such in anime many times, to the point of becoming a cliche.
