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

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


Ah, that is true. Though without food your body would weaken and you would lose strength. Chicken and egg there. I guess they could always get food from somewhere else though :P

Ok, PEAK jokes aside, this was a surprisingly good pilot episode, really enjoyable personalities.

This is peak! Watching a talking vending machine for entire 23 minutes.

The real-life counterpart of the items that appeared in this episode.


That's some interesting trivia, thanks for sharing :)

Unexpectedly good!
The explanation about his abilities were done neatly . Lammis certainly has the fran vibes seemingly the mc and our vending machine as support

This is precisely the kind of absolutely nonsensical isekai Ive been waiting for. Genuinely just fun and silly stuff. Excellent first episode, very much looking forward to more.

Well I pretty much had to watch this one with such a premise lol, and it was pretty good honestly. I’m always down for an Isekai with a truly unique spin and this seems to be one of those, this whole first episode was heavily centered around trying to do things as a vending machine which I found interesting, and also goofy lol.

And the main girl Lammis is pretty cute, Boxxo (what she named our vending MC) was lucky a fighter type character showed up first so he could be lugged around lol. Well I’ll definitely be hitting this one every week, I’m interested in seeing how they incorporate the vending machine aspect in different ways throughout the show.

This is the peak of fiction!

Okay, maybe not, but it’s certainly better than I was expecting so far. I doubt this will be a power fantasy and we will rather see Boxxo taking more of a support role. This pretty much runs counter to most generic isekais, so I am actually kind of interested in seeing where it goes.

Not bad for the start, but not excessively good either, it has potential, one ep. it's not enough to judge obviously.
Kaede Hondo as Lammis is a plus, a bonus, adorable character.

First off, how weird is that? I mean just the idea of a vending machine isekai?
Well, the first episode was okay, the story isn't great, but I'll give the series a chance.
Gradually, people in the other world are introduced to an economic system unknown to them, that caters to them.

Oh, how nice it must be to become a vending machine, without worries, just having to sell and be moved around. xdd

I think there are many people who think the same as me and who are only going to watch this anime because of how strange the initial plot is xddd.

Non-ironically I liked the first episode, it's going to be interesting to see how they do world building and character development being "that" thing xdd

That was bizarre but, unlike too many isekai recently, actually not terrible.

"Have we ran out of ideas and gimmicks for the isekai genre?" "Hold my beer."

And surprisingly it was endearing and quite interesting, it was pretty cute how MC was a vending machine otaku and now he is living the time of his new life, the point system is already more deep than most isekai magic systems, I came mostly because of Hondo Kaede and ended up surprised with her with an accent and the show being pretty good.

I don't know what I expected. <<<<---- And that's the closest thing to a complement I have to give. That, and there's nothing "repulsive", so it's not bad. Maybe it'll get better, which would be cool, an anime about a vending machine actually being good.

Still amazed this got an anime adaptation.  It's a shame they're apparently taking the character designs from the manga version since it's such a big step down from the light novel art

Welcome to vending machine feeds micro plastics to another world. In all seriousness, well as serious as you can be with this premise. I actually liked the first episode. Its fun and shows exactly the questions you'd ask in an isekai show. Of course it has the isekai tropes but not the toxic ones like him oogling girls every five seconds. For a split second I expected him to talk about the sensation of her breast touching his cold machine body. If things continue like the first episode, we'll get some relaxing vending machine adventures. I'm all for it can't wait for the next episode.

eh... On one hand, it's not as generic as it seems to be, on the other hand. I don't know why exactly, but the way the vending machine operates is f-ed up. He's taken in 300 dollars from people in a span of 3 days? And it seems as if the guards have gotten addicted but ehh, I'll be fair and see where this goes.

I've been looking forward to this one. I love it when isekais take the piss out of the genre. I also like the idea of a hero whose abilities are powered by money. Keep selling the snacks, Boxxo! Irashaimase!

No esperaba que un anime sobre una máquina expendedora con vida en una mazmorra me fuera a agradar tanto como lo hizo, supongo que entre el personaje secundario y lo absurdo del argumento, realmente me llamo la atencion.

In the likes of Reincarnated as a Sword, Reborn as a Vending Machine may sound ridiculous on paper, but the execution is light-hearted without the need to rely on otaku subculture elements. And that the place setting is a dungeon with a bright blue sky. Lammis is cute but it's good to see her drawn as a teenage-looking girl, not another loli character.

I like how the worst case scenario is brought up for a vending machine that is unable to get lots of customers, especially if it's in the middle of nowhere. Hopefully the LN source material gets resumed back in Japan because I doubt it's axed and that it didn't fully adapt the webnovel's contents.
