The spring 2017 anime series Armed Girls Machiavellism is having its home video release plans handled by Kadokawa and they’ve set a familiar schedule for it. With it a good bit away for the fourth volume, we now have a look at it ahead of its September 27th, 2017. The series is getting a six-volume release that began on June 28th, 2017 where the DVDs are priced at 6,600 yen while the Blu-ray’s are priced at 7,600 yen.
The series will be directed by Hideki Tachibana based on the scripts by Kento Shimoyama and they’ve set Shoko Takimoto to handle the character designs with it being animated at Silver Link.
The Japanese cast includes Tasuku Hatanaka as Fudo Nomura, Yuki Takada as Rin Onigawara, Sayaka Kitahara as Mary Kikakujou, Nozomi Nishida as Satori Tamaba, Rina Hidaka as Warabi Hanasaka, Natsumi Hioka as Tsukiyo Inaba, Eriko Matsui as Kirukiru Amou, Miku Itou as Nono Mizunono, Akane Kohinata as Chouka U. Ubaragasaki, Miharu Hanai as Satsuki Kurasaki, Shiori Mutou as Ui Migii, Miharu Sawada as Tsunemi Totsuko, Yuki Yamada as Kinue Tanukihara, Natsumi Yamada as Niko Sawatari, Saki Fujita as Kyoubou and Tetsuji Ota as Kusuo Masukodera.
The opening song is “Shocking Blue” by Miku Itou while the ending theme song is “DECIDE” that’s performed by several of the characters.
The original work began in the later winter of 2014 in Shonen Ace and has five volumes out. We talked a bit about the title last summer before last when a brief promo was produced for it.
Plot concept: The Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy was originally a high school for high-class girls, when it became co-ed, the girls, out of fear, asked to be permitted to bring weapons to school. When that was enforced, a five-member vigilante corps-like organization called the “Supreme Five Swords” was also formed.
After many generations, the five swords eventually became a group which corrected problematic students and such the academy started proactively accepting such students in order to correct them.
Nomura Fudou was sent to that school after being part of a huge brawl, what will he do when the only options he has after enrolling are being expelled from that school too or being corrected the way the rest of the male students there were…by being forced to dress and act like girls!
