Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

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.

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, 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.

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.
