Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon - Another Isekai Anime! 😅

I just started watching this anime today, and I've already completed 6 episodes. The main reason I picked it up was the bizarre yet unique concept-being reborn as a vending machine! I was really curious to see how they would execute such an idea. At first, I couldn't even imagine how a machine that can't even move could be part of an adventure anime! But the storytelling takes an interesting approach, making it somewhat engaging.

But don't take this as high praise-it's no masterpiece 😅. The story mostly revolves around Boxxo (the vending machine MC) and Lammis (his companion). The vending machine can change types as needed-sometimes a food vending machine, sometimes a book vending machine, and more. The concept is definitely unique, but the execution doesn't feel very impactful.

Overall, I'd rate it 6/10. It's different, but not something I'd be super excited about. Watch it if you want to try something new, otherwise, you can skip it.
