Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
Oshimeter
Synopsis
When a vending machine obsessive kicks the bucket, he gets reincarnated as a vending machine. Not a sword, not a slime, not a dragon, a literal vending machine. That's the premise of this 12-episode TV series, and honestly, it works way better than it has any right to. Our protagonist was obsessed with vending machines in his previous life, and now he is one, stuck in a fantasy dungeon world where he can't move, can't speak freely; he can only say pre-programmed vending machine phrases like "Please insert coins" and "Thank you." His entire communication system is basically yes-or-no answers delivered through stock phrases. Then Lammis shows up, a cheerful girl blessed with superhuman strength, and she just picks him up and carries him around like a backpack. Their dynamic is the core of the show: she provides the legs, he provides cold drinks and surprisingly useful items. The comedy comes from watching a vending machine try to solve fantasy-world problems using nothing but product dispensing and feature upgrades. It's got that same oddball isekai energy as Reincarnated as a Sword or Campfire Cooking in Another World, where the fun is in the absurd premise played mostly straight. If you enjoyed the workplace dysfunction of Dungeon of Black Company, the comedic tone here hits a similar spot. The pacing is light, the jokes land more often than not, and at 12 episodes it never overstays its welcome. It's comfort food anime, just dispensed from an unlikely source.

Seeing someone drink corn soup from a vending machine suddenly made me miss drinking canned corn soup in Japan
I was already laughing at the beginning, haha. It’s really a unique and fresh isekai anime concept.
Filler episode again.. another world building of clear stratum village, but at the end i sense some wicked foreboding. Shui is so lovable here, i can see why she's such hardworker with the menagerie of fool team.
Another filler... but the introducement of ikkemen side char really of mishual is perfect. An eye cleanser for all girl reader of the series, he's perfectly portrayed here like the original. (WN).
A downgrade... fight is not as epic as previous crimson lord, why do boxxo do "that"... but on positive side fleshed out a bit on ramis past and reason why she's so possesive with boxxo. Overall the magic engineer girl is my number one
Disclaimer; i've read past maze labyrinth part in the webnovel, so i know how the furrball squad would be look (in my imagination) I was wrong, they are so much "simple and cute"... aaaAa, esp the only female tazmanian she's adorkable. The only minus i can said for this episode, there's some joke here that don't dont localize well in english. (So kinda a miss and hit)
One of the best fight in this season, bakso (boxxo) really became full nerd ala doctor stone.. one of the reason i follow this since the original web novel. Original ingenuity and world building in this series finally shine, here we can see all differnce unique vending machine that avail in japan :).
Mostly filler... but building a backstory to hullemy past, in the 2nd act... this where most exciting part Aka n shiro.. never remember those guys name before this duo had many honorable mention in this arc.
Different from my imagination in the original WN, she (the magical engineer girl) so chatty hehe. Sorry ramis she's my no 1. Action scene just minimum here
It's the chill episode.. or a filler, not many action or story narrative. Some light fan service here, and finally that thing discussion... adult talking
An improvement from my previous 1st epi review; now we got a proper OP and ED OST (standart one, but at least its catchy tune) Pacing bit weaker this time, ramis and hakkon (boxxo original name in JP) fight with the mini boss way anti climatic (not as epic as original web novel) VA; i've tried the original japanese VO this time, it's bit better (eventhough the charm of MC vending machine and ramis trully conveyed) Ps; the menagerie of fool bunch is so silly spotted on ~finz
"I like learning new stuff", thats probably your best motivation watching this series... we already see anime about blood cell, rock, horse race. This is about vending machine and cute girl. Visual; typical like any franchise pokemon series you watched in 2000 Ost; narrative.. i just can say that Va; the english VA is too polite, and word they uses very SFW. (So i prefer the original japanese VA, if you want to immerse) Watch value; unique niche stuff you can only learn about Vending machine in general I love learning new tech stuff or knowledge, so i gonna keep it.
This finale had me stressed for a second .I really thought someone wasn’t making it back, but seeing everyone safe and how much the Chief cared was so heartwarming. What a fun, emotional, and satisfying ending
Those crepes and karaage looked sooo delicious 🤤✨
Mishuel is seriously handsome fr
Boxxo is seriously insanely smart 😭 if he were human, imagine how genius he’d actually be 🧠✨
Those Tasmanian devils are sooo cute ..they look like a mix of a little bear, a cat, and a dog all at once
When Boxxo got eaten by that crocodile, I was legit panicking 😭🐊
That carbonara spaghetti from Boxxo looked insanely delicious
Boxxo is seriously so sweet, he even gave Hulemy food and bathing supplies too 🥺🫶
