Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

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.

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 )

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.

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.

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.
