    Japanese Absurdism at Its Finest!

    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, 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.

    This is better than you'd think.

    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.

    I loved it!!! Turn off your brain, sit back, and enjoy!

    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.

    Most egregious piece of fiction I've laid my eyes upon

    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.
