Armed Girl's Machiavellism Season 1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The jokes in Armed Girl's Machiavellism Season 1 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Fudo Nomura, a delinquent transferred to Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy, an all-girls school that has become co-ed and ruled by female students armed with weapons. Nomura is forced to either comply with the school's rules and act like a girl or be expelled. He instead challenges the "Supreme Five Swords," a five-member vigilante group that enforces the rules, to fight for his right to be himself and prove true morality. Tasuku Hatanaka and Yuuki Takada lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2017.
