This anime is pure peak.
Nomura enter in a school which is commanded by The 5 Ruling Swords, Rin, Mary, Satori, Warabi & Tsukuyo.
Rin tells all of them about the new student and "The Empress" Amou tells somethings and warns them about a "Magic Bullet".
Then Rin tells Nomura to act like a girl or leave, but he just jumps out of the window and theres a fight that ends really well for Nomura for obvious reasons.
Top 5 best animes I've ever watched, thank tiktok fyp for blessing me with peakkk.
Also, Rin Onigawara is mine. :)
If you like Action with a bit of Romance, nothing special, this one is for you.

Truly a mixed bag for me. It is a "because...reasons" storyline of MC goes to a girl's school that has just become mixed, but they girls run the school, because...reasons... and all the boys are bullied and forced to wear girls clothes and make-up, because...reasons... All the characters are clichés and while it is utterly ludicrous, it does have a bit of a heart and the harem is deftly handled, so it is not just slapstick chaos. For me the negatives are the woeful plot that changes from boy fights top girls to get a outside pass, to a story of a dangerous adversary causing mayhem, with a plot of political power plays thrown in to disguise the fragility of the story. It also has one of the biggest story telling crimes of Japanese story telling with people standing around explaining how dan…

This anime is a wild ride, folks! It's like a deliciously cheesy pizza - it's not perfect, but it's so darn enjoyable that you won't care.
The fight scenes? Absolutely fantastic! I loved how the girls' unique weapons and abilities clashed in creative ways. It was like a beautiful, action-packed dance. And the humor? Oh man, I was laughing out loud so often that my family thought I was crazy!
But what really drew me in was the cast of characters. Our main man, Nomura, is a total boss - I mean, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by a harem of gorgeous, deadly girls? And the girls themselves? Each one is quirky and lovable in her own way. I especially adored Rin and Mary's antics - those two were like a comedic dynamic duo!
Now, here's where things get a bit tricky. The anime's pacing can…

Score: 7.8/10
This anime has a good character cast there have a good design on each character but mostly i didn't impress on the fighting scene its just not to much detail like madoka for example the animation is great i really enjoy the japanese voice the five supreme sword are really cool they rule the whole school the delinquent change into a girl by five swords agendas the protagonist of this series nomura has a magic bullet i remember the pistol air gun of luffy plus the animation of body of nomura remind me of the characters on my hero academia nomura is a orphan and train sword by his master non stop . If you think nomura is a hardworking character like zoro asta naruto for example this phenomenon happen alot when villain is so much powerful or the main character want to surpass hi…

ngl, I forgot what this show was about lol. What I do remember is the plot is pretty unimportant to the enjoyment of the show. If you're on the hunt for another harem show, with the typical "doesn't take shit from anyone" MC (if I remember correctly) and typical tropes for the female characters, then you've found the right show. Look, you and me both know, you didn't just randomly stumble upon this show. You probably searched up "good harem shows to watch". If that's the case, this show will most likely satisfy any of those "harem cravings" you get after watching bigger harem shows like Nisekoi, Date a Live, High School DxD, The QQ, etc... Honestly, the show itself was really unmemorable - it wasn't anything special - but it's watchable. There's really nothing that I remember that will tur…

I think this show is a great analogy for 2023. Be like us or suffer the consequenses. Our MC is based and red pilled and says hell no and rejects that ideology! Great show when looking at it through this context. The show has a great sense of humor and really sets the tone well for what our future holds if we give in. It takes one sanding up to inspire hundreds, and that hundred can turn to thousands. Always fight for what you believe is right and never let them bully you!
The art style is perfect for the show. There is a bear in the show that can turn from cute and loveable to ferocious and fearsome when the situation demands it, absolutly perfect!

Armed Girl's Machiavellism is a show that only works in anime. The concept of five girls with swords ruling a school and forcing all the boys to act like girls or leave is quite the weird concept but the anime somehow makes it work out. Also do note that this anime portrays "boys forced to act like girls" as simply guys with bad makeup speaking in high guy voices and not as your stereotypical feminine boy so don't watch it just for that.
The story is one of the simpler ones I've seen in any anime. It's just a simple setting with a story without much in the way of worldbuilding. The simple story works relatively well though since the anime is only 12 episodes and it doesn't drag out story elements for longer than it has to. Some small parts of the anime are pretty irrelevant and are mostl…

Surprisingly better than I thought it would be. I mainly picked up this show because I saw clips of the English dub's handling of the various gap moe laughs present. It looked awful, so naturally I added it to my list right away.
The setup is your typical all-girls school letting boys in because of declining birth-rates or whatever, and the lengths the girls side will go to keep the status quo and keep the boys from "ruining" their school. Turns out the most effective way to do that is to turn them all gay through BDSM torture. Pretty sure I've seen at least one eroge with that exact plot.
Aside from the unintentional kind, there wasn't a whole lot of humor that landed. It's the kind of show that's really only funny when you're watching it with friends and riffing on it the whole time. T…

If you are patient until things get a bit interesting and intense, then I would easily recommend this anime. It is definitely better than average. However, there are points to take into consideration if you want to know what how this anime might interest you or not.
I might as well not summarize as usual and review this in a different way. If we are to determine how this anime could be interpreted without any spoiler, then I would say that this anime captures the concept of ‘the more you hate, the more you love’ in almost every character you would find here interacting with the main character. Maybe everyone is a tsundere? Not necessarily since that would be repetitive and annoying.
Fortunately, we got a lot of interesting characters who may appeal to some. In my case, it is the twin-ta…

A boy named nomura enters into this school ruled by 'feminism".
All boys in the school are turned into girls(then what the hell is even the point of a boy enrolling into the school).
This guy nomura just went to a school and here he meets and fights the 5 swords or whatever and why is that? Well.....JUST BECAUSE OUR MC DOESN'T LIKE THE SCHOOL RULES.
Yep, that's it that is the plot.
The character design is ok
The fights are pretty much our typical mc struggling and fighting the so called 5 swords(Who obviously lose).
His so called yandere friend nearly kills him why well cause he hung out with some other student.
And guess what the "Friend" here is a girl(So very unexpected) And for some reasons of all the schools she could go to she would obviously land into the mc's school.
And obviously…

Strangely I have seen several reviews of this show that describe the premise of the academy setting as feminism run amok. Suffice it to say, this is an instance of ignorance of what feminism is. For one thing, it is not the idea that women should hold unilateral or martial power over men. It is a lens to look at a piece of media or history that seeks to explain things that happen based on the relationship between gender and power. That is about it. The reason it is called feminism is because it was the suffrage movement in America that spawned the academic foundations of that critical theory and at the time it was the particular institution of the patriarchy that was the subject of criticism. But that does not limit the theory to only discussing the abuses of men, nor is that how it is typ…

So many pedantic box-ticking judgements just ring hollow.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, warts and all - which is to say, the critical can bite me.
This was great fun, and quite unique in fact. Loved this title. Funny and even touching when it wanted.
Anyone hating this hasn't got a soul.
This "make an uber long review" stuff is one of the reasons that MAL has such a terrible reputation these days - that and the completely self-indulgent, holier-than-all purveyors of Anime value and quality are why the general consensus is that MAL is a twisted piece of garbage. I wonder if those elitist dbags understand that. Casting their vicious hate far from the genres which they personally hold on high - trying to put down the individual tastes of any who do not kaotao and conform to their bias. Wagin…

behind the beginning of the story which in my opinion is a bit boring but there is a good plotwist. and the background of the main character who seems mysterious because of the repeated flashbacks, therefore we will think maybe he has great power that he is hiding, and the "harem" sensation in this anime is very fitting to watch what else there is a little ecchi genre and comedy which makes this story even better to watch. In terms of pictures that have matched the current anime, maybe I think the only thing lacking is the story which is a bit mainstream and easy to guess..!!

To be honest, I was going to make this an 8/10 until the last two episodes. The plot is as leaky as the damn titanic. The characters are absolutely great. The art was actually not bad, and the sound was pretty ok. But what do we even watch anime for... the tiddies... WE watch anime for the plot. but in this, there is actually no plot. Literally none. No story. After everything was almost perfect, there was nothing to explain it. And they added in that weirdo character and made her slap everyone like what the hell, my eyes deceived me as much as berserk. Overall, 3/10. Make an OVA or something to explain the storyline bro.

If you're into physically violent crazy waifus, then you're in for a treat because this anime has a wide variety of them to offer, ranging from tsunderes to himederes to yanderes to kuuderes. Well, even if you're not into that sort of thing, as long as you're not ticked off by a little bit of unreasonable violence and you have some free time to watch a fun show, I still do recommend watching this anime. While Armed Girl's Machiavellianism is admittedly not anything new or creative, I will say that it has definitely been a fun ride watching this show. The MC is surprisingly reasonable and likeable, traits which I have come to appreciate more and more the more I watch harem romcoms. The girls, while seemingly bland and generic at first glance, quickly grew on me and they always delivered whe…

Personally, my score is 7.5 but I decide to put it at 8 mostly because of how low the overall score is.
It's a decent-to-good harem anime, with pretty neat action here and there. Nothing great, but nothing horrible either. My only complaint is that the anime can do more with the action and its "style" a little bit more. What we have now, while fun and pretty good, still felt short from being great.
Let's see, what else.... uh, the MC's pretty cool, the girls are well designed, and the opening is lit. Oddly enough, despite being a harem anime, they seem to lean heavily on one of the girl being the main heroine since early on. Weird, but I won't complain.

Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism
Armed Girl's Machiavellism
I'm still not quite sure whether this should be a pure comedy, parody, or something else or whether this title actually wants to be taken seriously. Because of the plot and the approaches, I will probably assume his very absurd action-comedy.
And yes, it's by far the probably best 3/10 Anime I ever watched, compared to any other I would rate with 3/10. But in the end, it had nothing for a higher score. The story revolves around a school that switched from an all-girls school to a mixed school. And to protect the girls, they were allowed to use self-defense against boys. But the girls used their power and subjugated the boys at school, they would be withdrawn from them and henceforth let them live on as women in disguise.

This show is insane, but not necessarily in the best way.
At face value, the idea of a teenage boy fighting against cute sword-wielding girls with his bare hands for the sake of his freedom sounds very exciting if not completely original to the anime harem scope. In practice, there are some problems I would like to address--especially with the world building and character relationships.
First of, with the way Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy conducts itself I can't help but wonder how it's able to stay open because its actions are way more messed up than how the show's characters described it. The school is literally run by a bunch of misandrist women who thinks that oppressing the male student population is ethical for the sake of womanhood. Case in…

Absolutely nothing worth watching about that show. I loved it.
And because I am forced to write more, I shall tell you why I started watching it in the first place:
It was the swords. I like swords, I like girls. The anime combined both and made it a central point. It basically bribed me.
Really, MAL? Fine, I list pros and cons.
Pros:
- Surprisingly few ecchi scenes for a harem comedy
- Some of the jokes actually worked - Some of the characters were almost interesting
Cons:
- It's a formulaic comedy harem show. This time the girls have swords and want to "correct" the protagonist. If you are of the Gigguk variety anime fan, you can have a good time with it.
