The BIG BREAK, also known as the "Big-Ass Break", is intended to be a time for the members to talk and (maybe) make the club a more social entity.

Most announcements are made during this time, and there are often AMVs and other odds and ends that get shown as well.

		+	In the early 2000s and for an unknown period before, MnA showed two episodes every hour followed by a 10 minute break until the start of the next hour.
		+
		+	MnA shifted to a little break/BIG BREAK (5 min/30 min) format experimentally on October 4, 2003:
		+	<pre>Yep, we gave you dinner time. Now you don't have to choose a show to miss
		+	so you can go eat. Also, we hope that with the lights on for a whole
		+	thirty minutes maybe you'll mingle among each other and figure out a plan
		+	to overthrow our current elected officials (El Presidente and me among
		+	other) come spring time and elections and whatnot.</pre>
