Review of Armed Girl's Machiavellism OVA

When in doubt, hot springs episode. You know the drill, it's a bonus OVA for if you bought the home media release so it's going to be fan-service and pandering the whole way through. Not bad if you liked these characters and you're into that, but nothing really of substance here. It's the kind of episode where after I was done watching it it had already pretty much left my brain, like it was never there at all. I had to go watch parts of it again for this review just to make sure there wasn't anything special about it I might have missed becauseI genuinely couldn't remember what had happened.

Basically you can boil the plot besides the fact that they go to a hot spring down to a pissing match between the 5 swords girls over who can be the most tsundere. Honestly situations like these get so tiresome that's it's refreshing to see one of them just say what everyone is thinking. The girl at the end who actually gets protagonist did so by just admitting how she was feeling and taking what she wanted instead of hmming and hawing about it indefinitely. 7/10 hot springs
