Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou 2nd Season

Ever since a vending machine enthusiast was reincarnated as one named Boxxo, he has become a pivotal part of the village of Clearflow Lake. With his ability to turn into any kind of vending machine and serve a variety of products, Boxxo has helped the settlement grow and has fought various formidable enemies alongside his first and most loyal customer, Lammis.

However, Boxxo and Lammis' recent battle with the Netherlord, a general serving under the Demon Lord, has left the future uncertain. To take action against the looming threat, the directors of each Hunter Association agree to strike back by dispatching their best hunters. Joined by friends old and new, Boxxo and Lammis must thwart the Netherlord's evil plans by any means necessary to protect all that they cherish.

This anime is fun and easy to watch. It doesn't overstay its welcome. The majority of characters may be one-dimensional and the backgrounds may be simple, but I think the emotion gets across to the viewer just fine. And it's a show that generally respects the value of human life, with the exception of a few bandits, which I personally appreciate. Boxxo's charity for the dungeon's civilians is something you rarely see even from the most well-meaning anime protagonists. I think that's a wonderful virtue and one that's hard to incorporate into narratives; this show's gimmick lends itself well to "charity". If you want to ... watch people eat food and act happy because it's delicious, this anime has that simple pleasure.

One thing that's particular to me is that I adore Hulemy's character. Her design reminds me of Marisa Kirisame from Touhou Project, so any scene where she acts girly or vulnerable makes me feel excited. I like her outfit and her voice a lot. Episode 10 has fan service for Hulemy enjoyers.

The negatives are probably all to do with the general quality of the show - strictly speaking it's more deserving of a 6. As I said before, a lot of this is surface-level simple. Most fights are just a few still images that pan across the screen for a second. So this isn't the place to look for impressive action. I also believe the English dub is way way too embarrassing to listen to. I watched this with subs instead.

Mixed Feelings

Given how I was underwhelmed by Season 1 of 'Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon,' Season 2 is a pleasant surprise. It gets better.

Because there is this Netherlord who threatens the dungeon, the story gets better. From something that seems pointless, our characters now have a goal in mind.

That said, this season starts on a high note. It seems that it will be all action. Unfortunately, it fizzled. The sense of danger is gone in the middle episodes.

What we get are new characters who are more interesting. Some are even eye candies as they are visually pleasing, to put ... it mildly. There are also unexpected events that spice this season.

In the final arc, we also meet a mysterious character who has abilities that allow Hakkon to do some stuff. Her presence would be key in how our characters deal with the Netherlord.

That said, it's only a marginal improvement from Season 1. If you watched Season 2 despite not liking Season 1, you would see an obvious improvement, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it. At least, it's a decent watch to pass the time.

The visuals are also marginally better compared to Season 1.

I think if Season 1 wasn't limited to just a single cour, the first few episodes of Season 2 should have been part of Season 1.

Despite rating Season 1 lower, its final episode is better than Season 2's final episode.


NOTA BENE: A grade of 4 out of 10 means I got some enjoyment out of this anime, but the issues are glaring, or simply I rank it higher than my 3's but below my 5's.

My enjoyment spectrum lies from 4 to 10. If I have scored an anime below 4, I actively dislike it.

Well-written

At this point, isekai genre feels less like storytelling and more like a fever dream brainstorm session where editors just nod and say:

“Sure, why not. People will watch anything.”

And here we are. A vending machine. Yes, really. Not a warrior, not a mage, not even a slime or a skeleton. A vending machine. Somewhere out there, Kafka is rolling in his grave muttering: “Even I wouldn’t go this far.”

Let’s be clear: this isn’t world-building. This isn’t character development. This is the anime equivalent of pressing the “randomize” button on an isekai generator and praying it sticks. The protagonist has the personality of… well, a vending ... machine. His greatest strength? Dispensing soda. His greatest weakness? Stairs. And somehow, people around him act like he’s the second coming of Ainz Ooal Gown.

It’d be funny if it were just a one-off parody, a 3-minute gag anime that winks at the absurdity of the genre. But no. It’s a full-length series. With multiple seasons. Which means someone, somewhere, thought: “Yes. This. This is the future of anime.”

It’s the logical endpoint of an overexploited genre. We went from Mushoku Tensei (deep world-building, raw character growth), to Re:Zero (psychological despair), to Slime and Overlord (strategic kingdom-building)… and now we’re here. Watching a Coke machine moan in monotone about dungeons.

Do I laugh? Sure, in the same way you laugh when a toddler smears paint on the wall and calls it art. It’s entertaining, but not because it’s good. It’s because it’s so absurd you can’t believe it exists.

This isn’t an isekai. This is performance art about the death of creativity, If you ever wondered what happens when you milk a genre until it’s dry, well… congratulations. You’re looking at it.

Or in vending machine terms: Out of Stock.

And if this somehow crawls its way to Season 3? Then maybe humanity truly deserves to be replaced by vending machines.
