Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

I went into watching this with the lowest of expectations - I was wrong. It is fun, funny, sweet, entertaining, and easy to watch, does not require a lot of thought. Get the popcorn and prepare to be totally entertained. I truly loved it. I even created this IMBD account just now so I could review this show. Dumbest concept ever, most likely, but it was just fun and easy and I loved it. I might be alone in this, but I highly recommend it. Gave it 9 out of 10 because I just watched Solo Leveling and JJK and the animation in those is beyond amazing. Otherwise, turn off your brain, sit back, and enjoy.

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.

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 )

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.

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.
