Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

A man with a passion for vending machines awakens to realize that he has not only died, but he has also been reborn as one of his beloved machines! Although he is a modern appliance in a fantasy world, he requires money in order to keep functioning. He is stuck in one location until a young girl named Lammis stumbles upon him. Amazed by the drinks and food he sells, Lammis uses her "Blessing of Might" to lift him with ease and take him back to the village of Clearflow Lake. There, she officially dubs him Boxxo.

Despite his inability to converse with the villagers, Boxxo becomes an essential part of the community. His goods provide nourishment, and, as he gains new abilities and products, he becomes a staple of daily life. Nobody is as loyal to Boxxo as his first and best customer, Lammis. The more time he spends with her, the more he tries to help her elevate her skills as a young hunter.

It is very self-aware absurdist comedy, if that wasn't already apparent by its very concept. It feels at times like it tries to get away with a lot of contrived solutions to every problem that occurs, but then you remember ITS A FRICKIN FANTASY ADVENTURE SHOW ABOUT A FRICKIN VENDING MACHINE.

I especially like how he can communicate complex ideas to anyone without much difficulty, using only the phrases "Hello there!" and "Too bad!". Reminds me of the "Timmy fell down the well" meme from the classic Lassie series. Makes me laugh every time. The whole show is this level of goofy. I love it.

Suspend your ... disbelief about what a vending machine is capable of and you will enjoy this.

Mixed Feelings

"Hello There!" This is the sort of anime which you watch without any real investment, you just want to be entertained and pass the time. Maybe you're doing dishes, folding laundry, or camped out in a hotel with nothing to do. You open Crunchyroll and fire this up to pass the time.
This is a show which can't decide if it's SAO or Overlord, and that's not horrible, but it's also not gonna replace Full Metal Alchemist as your favorite show. Every episode is a laundry list of how to use plot armor with no consequence for any characters who are unfortunate enough to find themselves ... in danger. I would not go so far as to say that this is as egregious as Overlord, which is quite frankly unwatchable in comparison, but it does tread close sometimes. The human who has somehow become a vending machine in a world modeled after RPG video games can almost always find a card to pull from his memory banks for whichever wild occasion he happens to find himself in. Some of the mechanics also do not make any sense. We see several instances of this character doing stuff which would definitely require more time than he is allotted for example. "Too Bad."
As I said at the beginning, you can't take this seriously or it's terrible. If you watch it with the intention of being entertained, it's perfectly okay. The part of my soul which enjoys some mild cringe is absolutely hoping for a second season.

Not Recommended

A boring seasonal isekai with a dumb twist. The animation is pretty standard and uninspired. Characters have no depth and are regularly annoying. The story is pretty much of the exact same quality. Voice acting is slightly grating at times, the casting is fine, and there are no stand out performances... so average for a dub. The soundtrack is alright, but not memorable. The op is good but doesn't fit the anime, the ed fits and is decent, but not mind blowing. Overall, not really worth going that into detail about. It's not terrible, but there isn't any reason to watch it. It's literally just ... seasonal isekai. 4.80/10 Dubbed
