Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

Reborn as a vending machine might just be the craziest plot driven anime i have seen till date. I was not expecting anything a lot but man i binged first 3 episodes like crazy and had a blast watching it. Highly recommended.

I have never read the light novel so i didnt know much before going into the anime but i was glad it had come out with a DUB for first episode. Watching the first episode in dub is what really got into into the anime. Excellent dub cast btw so youre gonna def enjoy it.

The light novel came out in 2016s and the anime in 2023. I think this is a good anime and eveyrone should enjoy.

I think I first caught wind of this imgur, and the idea was so stupid I had to check it out. It really is about a guy reincarnated as a vending machine! The why is absurd, as I said, but putting him (it) in a D&D world is even more absurd.

The most absurd thing is that there's a love story (kind of).

Boxxo (as he's called) can magically change the items he vends, and if you know what Japanese vending machines are capable of, it's another level of bizarre humor.

This is also a parody of D&D role-playing games and their various tropes.

In short, I recommend this if you're in the mood for a dorky comedy or an RPG parody.

This anime, to put it bluntly, is a prime example of blandness in every aspect. It appears as though the creators pinned their hopes solely on the gimmicky premise of reincarnation into a vending machine, assuming that this alone would suffice. This approach, however, falls flat, as it appeals only to a narrow audience and lacks the depth needed to engage a wider viewer base. It's as if the writers neglected the rest of the show, leaving it devoid of any real substance.

The characters, unfortunately, follow a formulaic and unoriginal pattern. They exhibit predictable and overused personality traits that have been recycled countless times, with the main character suffering the most from this lack of individuality. The absence of any distinct personality traits renders them forgettable and hinders any emotional connection.

Worldbuilding, a crucial element in any fantasy narrative, fails to inspire here. The universe feels unimaginative, and the narrative itself proves to be a tedious experience. This anime desperately lacks the spark that makes a story engaging.

Considering these factors, I wouldn't recommend investing your time in this lackluster creation. The lack of effort in various aspects of the show, coupled with uninspired worldbuilding and a dull plot, contribute to an overall viewing experience that falls short of even basic standards. Spare yourself the disappointment and avoid this anime at all costs.

Reborn as a Vending Machine is one of those anime that, by all logic, should make absolutely no sense. The premise is so absurd a man reincarnated as a literal vending machine that it feels like a joke taken too far. And yet... somehow, the studio manages to build a surprisingly coherent world around it. The characters are endearing, the worldbuilding is more solid than expected, and the story never feels like it's just relying on the gimmick. That said, the absurdity is still hard to ignore, and the show doesn't always know what to do with its own weirdness. It's not amazing, but it's definitely better than it has any right to be. A solid 5/10 for effort and originality.

I remember watching a ridiculous anime called "Reincarnated as a Sword" Someone in the comments section asked, "What is next? Reborn as a Vending Machine??? "

and here we are. Another ridiculous anime.

It looks like writers are out of ideas, so they find a random object, make it evolve with every use, and send them to fight a demon or something.

I get that it's a new style. But I hope it's the last one. And we don't get another anime called Reborn as Clothes, Reborn as a Fork, Reborn as a Vehicle or I don't know, Reborn as a Toilet!!!

I mean, as a Isekai nerd, I would watch all of them any way. But I would not like them. I would not like them at all.
