Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

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.

This is one of those absurd isekai animes that kind of sucks you in. To make the story succinct, the protagonist the reborn in another world as a... vending machine!

Yeah, it's exactly what it says on the tin.

The thing is, this one is better than you'd think. The world is kind of interesting, the story is better than I gave it credit for, and the animation is adequate. The episodes are for the most part good filler to have on without being overly dramatic nor jarring and it doesn't attempt to take itself seriously beyond it's premise. In general, it's fine absurdity that doesn't waste your time by trying to be something it's not.

I do wish the story dived more into the characters as it seems like there's some untapped depth there that'd really set this one up. Also, the episodes can kind of plod in some parts, but the reward if worth the setup if you allow it time. That said, one or two didn't really hit the mark, but it wasn't far off.

I had this going while doing some work and enjoyed it. I might recommend it if you're binging and don't want anything overly harsh or bad. It's surprisingly intelligent for the premise and funny where it need to be.

Why people rate this anime so bad? I love this anime the story character and plot are good, hope there's 5 season adapted i also love rammis when she always with MC, being his first friend ( ill put rammis to my waifu list) And my hope is after the Main character transformed into human also bring some power ups like unique skill ( as always another isekai Main character) and have nice looking and cool face. Very recommended for yall that wanted Slice of Life isekai this is nice and maybe my critic is because the main character has lack of backstory hope they gonna add it too thats all ( yall need to try )

The anime exceeded my expectations. I never thought I'd enjoy seeing a vending machine get isekai'd, but here we are. The relationship between the vending machine and the strong girl is sweet and rarely seen in other animes. The show was quick, and rightfully so; the story was light, making it easy to enjoy. This anime gave me a new appreciation for Japan's love of vending machines.

However what the... Was that in the end did they pimp themselves up to thank him lol, typical Japanese anime.

Also I would to see more transformations from him with the condition that they keep the story light and short.
