Has there recently been a trending popularity with scissors as weapons over swords?


Why are scissors starting to displace swords as the cool weapon of choice for
main heroines to wield? ( _Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou_ , _Kill la Kill_ )




Not necessarily a trend, perhaps, but it's worth noting that there's more than
enough anime with swords
(<http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KatanasAreJustBetter>), even
guns, that when a unique, less-frequent choice of weaponry comes around, it
may catch the attention of a frequent anime viewer.

Example: Would Bakemonogatari episode 1 would have been more interesting if
Senjougahara used a sword instead of a stapler? _Probably_ not, unless you had
some philia regarding swords.
