I'm very sad with the current adaptation of this series. I've read the original source material (the light novel) and it was very intriguing and informative as it actually delved into the history, costs, mechanism and detail of unique and unconventional vending machines around Japan.
That was the CORE of what made the series fun to read in the first place, learning all about what the author went out and researched to share with the audience so that one day they themselves might have a chance to try it.
They also completely skip over hakkon's inventory management/coin management details, how he gets his upgrades/when he upgraded (except
...
for that brief mention of him increasing his stats during bandit abduction). Every time he takes on a new form in the light novel it's an eye opening experience as it details why he allocated his precious coins into it, the where he tried this vending machine out, how people felt about it, and more.
Unfortunately, the studio and people behind the anime adaptation decided to ignore all this and simply adapted it to another adventure Isekai. The lazy animation, lackluster detailing, cliche dialogue, and more were all non-existent in the source material. The studio butchers it so hard that half the time you don't even see the details of the actual vending machine he transforms into just a bright ass light covering everything.
First time leaving a review on this site as this series left a terrible taste in my mouth as I continue giving it more chances hoping it will become something more than a disaster.
