Look at all those bottles! I just can't help laugh sometimes at the way this anime adapts itself on these meme-like moments.

Good for Boxxo for still contributing to the party even in the season finale. He's a lowkey MVP this season. It didn't feel like a groundbreaking finale but got the adventurous vibe I was expecting.

Season 3 announced

A crisis at the worst timing for Boxxo and company dealing with Tashtay's Billowing Flames party, and if Hevee's anger at Tashtay is indicative that he's his enemy for quite the long while, the duo-headed Dual Ogre stratum lord will be no different...except that they're facing it head-on being weaker than usual of what they've come to expect of the Netherlord's power. And since they're hungry, Boxxo leavening the dead monsters with sauce should buy them sometime to regroup. It'd be a thing with Tashtay's controlling ring, but with what the resources they currently have, trying to get them to consume alcohol, it's an interesting way to deal with the ogres alright.

Hevee disguising as a rock ogre lord, having Boxxo on his back to deliver the alcohol to the stratum lord, it least it works to keep them asleep while Hulemy and the others work their best to disable their Blessing for an even fight...or rather, just treat them like an enemy and kill them straightaway, this earning points for Boxxo. However, finding Tashtay stuck frozen in ice can only mean one thing: a snow fairy in control, who finds Kikoyu's communion with te humans insatiable, and Medical General Suitheran's connection to the Netherlord only makes senset that she'd act in retaliation. Despite the danger, Kikyou tries again to convince Sui being a full-grown adult on the exact moment of her 18th birthday, how coincidental are times like these? Whatever it is, the Scorching Sand stratum is cleared, not without a fun snowball fight to end things on a light note.

Suitheran retreating to the Menagerie of Fools to aid her in dealing with Boxxo and Lammis, that's content for Season 3 driving the series forward when it comes out soon. However, Season 1 trumps the sequel in every way, that this was just a disappointing follow-up.

Season 3 already announced LMAO! A clever booze solution and some bullshit snow fairy magic to save the day.

Isekai Vending Machine 2, a very unexpected sequel and much better than it has any right to be. I would unironically rank this in at least the upper half of isekais. Lammis and Hulemy are as adorable as ever, and the captain's story hits particularly hard. The main improvement over first season, in my opinion, is a stronger commitment of the story to the adventure, rather than a half-assed balance between Adventure and Slice of Life. Animation felt somewhat flashier as well.

8/10, up from 7. Dab on the haters and keep on vending. Happy 300th to me.

Well can’t say I’ll miss this.. definitely not as big a fan as some of the people I’m seeing in these threads. Somehow it got a season 3, so it must be doing well domestically, but season 2 felt like a step back from s1 for me until we got snow fairy introduced here at the end. Cool design and character, I am kinda curious how things will out with the family who “betrayed” Boxxo and Lammas so I’ll probably watch season 3 for that since they’re going to be helping the netherworld deal with them.

Kinda interesting seeing so many people enjoy this show, but you know, different strokes lol. Hebui’s shoe sniffing fetish was hilarious though I’ll give them that. Also liked his relationship with Shui. Boxxo evolving and being able to communicate better is also cool, hopefully his development continues into season 3.

I've been saying that the 777 jackpot will be the announcement of season 3 since episode 3 thread and I'm glad I'm right. Will definitely looking forward to it, hopefully within next year.

Pretty disappointed with this season. Season 1 wasn't the greatest and some of the issues carried over to this season (bad writing, dialogue, characters, animation etc...) but what made this show was how it leaned into the absurdity of the idea. I liked in the first season we almost had this tourism add for Japan's vending machine culture where every episode it would be a different vending machine that week trying to solve the issues. But as this season turned into a more generic fantasy plot and structure it just lost that charm which makes all of the other weaknesses stand out more.

Atari desu yo ~ S3! Wasn't expecting THE jackpot but I'll take it.

I just love how I can shut my brain off completely for this show but that little twist midway of the family drama really caught me off guard xD. Looks like they've gone and fully joined the opposition teams, things could get a little personal soon...

Another 6/10 from here.

I'm glad that nothing happened to Kikoyu and she evolved peacefully, also glad for the third season, considering the story that was just beginning to be told about a family of traitors, a continuation is quite logical.

Worse than season one but still somewhat the same. 5/10.

Not exactly sure where the story is going. Guess i’ll find out in season 3.

And that's it. It definitely hasn't surpassed the first season. It seemed like it could have taken a more serious turn with the battle against the Dark Lord or the betrayal of Kerioil and his family, but instead it focused more on episodic or less impactful content, resembling a series of specials. Let's hope that, with the third season already confirmed, things will change and improve.

There were three layers to this fight at the Desert Pillar, first they took down the gang so Hevee could get his revenge, then there was the Dual Ogre they got drunk and killed in its sleep (kinda savage ngl), and finally another Snow Fairy, Sulream, appeared out of nowhere and made things real tough for the gang before Kikoyu evolved into a bigger Kikoyu and made Sulream retreat, it’s interesting to see a Snow Fairy on the Nether Lord’s side but I think she might have the potential to defect, but unfortunately that’s gonna have to wait for now. And we left off on the gang having a good ol’ snowball fight, as well as a teaser of Sulream teaming up with Kerioyl, a shame we gotta wait to see what happens there but at least Season 3 is already confirmed, that was clever how they used the slots in the post credits to reveal it, that must mean they already had it planned, you don’t typically see Isekais like this get sequels, let alone a third season, so hell yeah I’ll absolutely take it!

And that was it for the Vending Machine anime once again, I’m sad to be saying goodbye to it already when it feels like the season just started, but it has been a very good Season 2. I liked it about the same as the first season, I think this season had the better story beats of the two but I enjoyed it around the same amount. I will say tho, I was missing the SoL stuff this season, it was definitely present but the increased plot focus caused it to be not as prominent, a shame but like I said, the story beats were better this season so it’s not a big deal that there was less SoL. And surprisingly, there was also some pretty good romance, I didn’t think I’d enjoy the developing relationship between a vending machine and a babe so much but I am lol, I hope we get more of it in the next season. And this season also had a very good OP and ED pair, I’m happy Bradio returned for another OP (and the first OP actually played in this episode, definitely pretty nostalgic now), I really like this new one, I hope they get them for Season 3 as well.

And with that, we wait for a new season of vending machine goodness yet again, I hope this one comes a bit sooner than Season 2 did, but at the same time I hope they get proper time to cook.

i was wondering when those four would show up again, guess that snow fairy would join forces with the fools, but i don't think they'll be strong enough to defeat boxxo and lammis' group.

can't wait for season 3!

My 3rd Summer 2025 anime finished! This was yet another great season 🤣🙌🏻 very rarely is a sequel season just as good as the first or even better. Seeing Hakkon being able to talk more now with splicing syllables together made the anime so much more enjoyable. He became a Rizz Vending Machine this season 🤣 rizzing up Lammis and Hulemy especially. Lots of great moments from those two. Shocking revelation with that family party. Met some new faces as well. The Seiyuu cast for this anime is top tier once again 👌🏻 lots of signature voices. I’m happy in episode 2 once again they released the list of all of Hakkon’s pre-set lines he says. I got to finally memorize them all 🤣 I love saying them along with Hakkon. Most importantly, VERY HAPPY SEASON 3 IS ALREADY ANNOUNCED! 🙌🏻 Just like Rent a Girlfriend Season 4 Part 2, gotta love it when the next season is already announced before the season even finishes! No need to wait years! 🙌🏻 see you all then!

Literally jumped seeing the s3 announcement at the end, i guess that sums up how i feel about this one

Overall a well paced and story focused season, the new characters were a nice addition, we also saw much more of the world and how it works, good plot twist and animation was a step up even while still inconsistant, this still is no masterpiece but it's entertaining and sometime you don't ask for more than that

Solid 6/10, could go for 6.5 on good days.

S3 can't come sooner.

the lead up within this episode doesn't even feel like it was wrapping up anything or ending at all this season until I saw the end with season 3 announcement and looking at what episode I was on too lololololol

the story has ended up becoming a lot more jumbled than it has in season 1 which makes it somewhat off-putting but it was still amusing at parts, still a shame the fools would end up being some of the antagonists throughout the series but am curious to know how things will lead forward next year

Overall pretty decent.

I'm surprised this got season 3 announcement right away, isn't the light novel on hiatus?

This season is basically just recovery from the failed demon king left hand hunt so it gets a bit boring.

I hope season 3 will be more interesting.

That's my impression too. It was interesting to learn many types of vending machines.
I was expecting more interesting things when Menagiere Fools betrayed them but they seem to just relaxing around waiting for orders just like generic fantasy villains lol.

Not a great anime, but it's good. it's worth a watch. I also found Season 2 little more challenging to watch. We now know a lot of Hakko's operational ways, so we do not get to see the inside so much. But how he does some of the things, at the quantity and speed he does - that gets weird.Different characters got developed, everyone i think has some depth now. I suppose season 3 sees the end of this arc. could it really go longer?

Killing an enemy after getting them drunk and passed out seems low.

First season was dumb fun but this season got too toned down on goofiness in trying to develop a plot and so much down time. Maybe third season would be better now things at least established.

They really went out of their way to normalize a shoe fetish with back story motivation and everything. And the way people were talking about types of relationships with Boxxo was weirder than it was funny. Definitely weirder than I remembered from last season.

strong stratum lord alert! Boxo's plan of making it(them?) slip on gasoline and now setting said gas aflame might just work, but I'm honestly not getting my hopes up too high lol
lol called it! it's barely phased!

lol it's just hungry and wants food! Boxo can help with that!

lol hulame(sp?) knowing a bit of ogre language somehow fits her quite well... she also seems very knowledgeable about the stratum lord in general... honestly, she'd make a good spy ngl lol
WAIT OR A... CRAP WHAT'S THE TITLE OF THE GUILDMASTERS OF EACH STRATUM AGAIN??? IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE IS IT???

oh god, that giant syringe gave me such anxiety lolol (I have a severe needle phobia)... glad I wasn't on the receiving end of it!

that sudden cold spike doesn't bode well... I wonder if the defeat of the stratum lord has anything to do with it...

OOOOH ANOTHER SNOW FAIRY!!!!
oh gosh, she works with the Nether Lord... I have a bad feeling about this...

she asked what time it was... oh gosh, is she about to become an adult and sacrifice herself??? NO GIRL DON'T!!!!!!!
ok, I was half right! glad she didn't have to sacrifice herself! but now she's very vulnerable for 24 hours... hopefully the gang will be able to protect her...

*sigh*... hevee will never change, will he lolol

lol SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!!!!

oh boy, that other snow fairy is now enlisting the help of the Menagerie of Fools...

next season is gonna be epic!!! can't wait!!!
I write most of my comments as I watch the episodes, so treat them like I'm live tweeting or something lolol

Kinda solid anime in my opinion, especially in second half, although there is not much in production value part (weak animation, subpar design in the monster departement, etc). Enjoyed this overall and s3 is approved, lets goo

Heeve is my favourite character in this anime, he is my first experience with shoes fetish in anime, maybe in other media too as i remembered.
