Oh, they weren't actually kidding about a talking vending machine. It even has a personality! It also has drinks inside of it. His voice sounds graceful and I find their chemistry kinda amusing.

Not sure how I feel about Lammis right now...I mean, she seems like a nice person but also somewhat of an airhead. Man, this episode was something...I wasn't really expecting much but also found myself liking it for its light humor.

Novelist Hirukuma's vending machine Isekai reincarnation work, this is the NEW creative that we need now. Peak fiction HAS ARRIVED!

A man Isekai-ed into a vending machine, it's a ridiculous thing but made of divine retribution, with the words being pre-recorded. A good thing about it is that if people come to purchase goods from it, it can build up its functions as well, on top of it being a self-sustaining machine. Other than it losing points daily, getting attacked by monsters is worse, and it being able to use magic is a godsend to defend against the frog warriors. A few days later, a hunter girl pops by looking for food to eat, though at the presence of the vending machine, using fantasy world currency through conversion, it's ludicrous but it works. And one warm corn soup can isn't enough, more owa is good for it.

The girl, named Lammis, has a deal for the vending machine, in that her friend Hulemy is also doing something similar to it through magic. Lammis picking it up to move it to her village, her "Blessing of Might" which gives her incredible strength, and she becomes a spendthrift to his good usage. The vending machine, now a magic tool to the others, and since she found it on the Clearwater Flow dungeon stratum by following the T&Cs, it's hers to keep. Parading the vending machine around, Lammis saves a girl though misses at the crooks surrounding a helpless girl, though her being alive is a blessing to Munami and the innkeeper missus. Though the transfer circle is needed to transfer to Hulemy's research lab, money is needed too, so Lammis is strapped broke and works for the inn, while the vending machine changes its contents every now and then to appease to the village folk, like canned oden.

The same girl that Lammis saved though, she's kind of peculiar, but Lammis still wants to bring it to Hulemy, so Boxxo's the name it is for this journey!

Even though this is yet another Studio Gokumi x AXsiZ collaboration once again, this shows more promise than Yumemiru Danshi wa Genjitsushugisha, if only in production values. Otherwise, a solid premiere that doesn't disappoint and impresses.

Lammis has the same voice as Maple from Bofuri! No wonder she sounds so familiar. And she's big... Isekai + vending machine, weird combination. Let's see how well it will goes from here. The food reminds me of Campfire Cooking anime airing back in April. I don't think any of the canned food or drink are real products.

Decent start, I guess.

Kinda ridiculous premise, but hey, this is Isekai after all.

Lammis is so adorable. <3 I like her personality.

Finally, the meme is here, and it genuinely was pretty okay. Seems like another wholesome slice of life isekai, with some fun quirks, hopefully they don't get stale too quick. We got introduced to the point system, Lammis, and the villagers, which was nice. Should just be a nice, chill isekai for Wednesdays.

I'm wondering if the vending machine will learn more speech commands. There is much room for further comedy so not a bad watch for now it seems.

even as an isekai junkie i thought the hook for the series was too weird but i like it i hoping like Rimuru he get more abilities and power down the line even have like a 3d projection of a human maybe not an ability to walk but teleport back to places he sold an item at.

also it the food just food or does it have stats effects for the user?

I think at one point he'll run out of the point, putting the vending maching in a temporary death state, but will revive again when someone insert a coin.

Surprised at how good this anime was on it's first episode, I'm definitely interested in this world, even with it's unique protagonist, definitely something I'll be watching this season.
Just an avid anime watcher of 20 years, not much else I could say about myself (that I don't want to reveal, of course, just ask if you wanna know more!)

Funny start (once through the first ~5 minutes where it's a lot of on screen menus etc. to establish the world building).

I read the manga to this when I saw this anime was announced (since the name and premise sounded so ridiculous). The manga seems like it might be caught up to in the next episode ("Frog King") so will be cool to see what happens next (manga is 10 chapters, and funny novely entertaining, but not tooooo much happened yet).

I always find the idea of Isekai where you come back as a animal or a item to help the hero Instead. Vending machine is just not right. Want to watch something better where reincarnated as a item. You would do way better with Reincarnated as a Sword.

Watching this for the meme lol. Peak anime is here boys and girls. Tbh it got off to a decent start, I'm not expecting some groundbreaking masterpiece in storytelling but this is shaping up to be a nice wholesome feel-good show. 
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Blond girl from medieval world intuitively learned how to use a vending machine in two minutes. I'm a 21st century dude and need a whole month of trial and error to get the basics.

Food doesn't help the hero? Food is more important than a sword. Can't do much if you starve.

Can't wait for the doujins.

On a more serious note. Since he converts currency into points, if he stays in one town long enough... Wouldn't that town slowly/eventually run out of money? It's not like a real vending machine where the currency gets taken out by the owner and used for whatever. The currency he takes is gone forever no?

This is a Black Mirror style eldritch horror, but everyone's treating it like a light-hearted isekai.

This literally was a Black Mirror episode ("Black Museum").

Poor Boxxo. Can't move. Can barely communicate. Thank god he loves Vending Machines.

I remember seeing a video about the dark side of Japan's vending machine obsession, but it was boring, and I didn't finish it. It might be the coffee addiction due to Japan's overworking culture. Idk

Food does help. BUT if you didn't have the strength to carry the vending machine with you. It would be pointless.

Ah I’ve been waiting for this one for 4 years. Isekai has finally peaked. We’ve been reincarnated as a slime, spider, skeleton, now a damn vending machine.

Believe it or not, this is actually a pretty good story. It’s certainly not as bad as the name would suggest. The world is pretty interesting, the main female lead is cute and the dynamic between Ven-kun and the villagers is interesting. Supply and demand: the anime essentially. I’d say to not write it off because of the name and give it a shot.

Lammis carries, literally.

It's alright I guess. I think the appeal is going to be the supporting characters because I don't think Vendo-kun will hold my interest if it's just him getting excited about offering new items to sell.
