Breaking twigs is a traditional icebreaker in anime. However, due to
the excessive breakings this season, I ban twig breaking in all future
seasons.
Below
are four instances that led to the banning. Note: Twig breaking has
occured for many years. These instances are the most recent in anime
history.
Monster
I'll spare the negative comments, because this breaking foreshadows death.
Mushishi
I love this series, but don't break twigs when you're alone. It is completely useless.
Wow, when was the last time you stepped on a twig?
Mai Otome
Surprisingly, Mai Otome contains only one twig incident.
Congratulations! You join the unpriviledged group of guys that interrupted a singing girl.
Shuffle!
This incident is so severe, it makes a great playbook for aspiring twig breakers.
To make it even worse, the breaker does a lousy job covering up the incident. Notice the blank facial expression.
Twig breaking has lost its creativity. At least throw in a bear or UFO next time. Artists, you've been warned.
