Plot: The title itself gives away the plot, and it is really that simple. Though it's simplicity and earnestness is what makes this decent. The way things happen, the way people interract, react and transact is eerily similar to how people would react if it were really real. So much so, that the fact there is a magical vending machine amongst the other characters does not make it seem any less believable or something to laugh at, because it is already that ridiculous.
In fact, it seems fitting that things happen as they do even when the whole premise is way past bonkers to begin with. The humour may seem a little forced at times because of how outrageous the concept itself is, but overall it compliments well the idea.
Characters: You'd think apart from the vending machine and the one looking after him, everybody would be a one note cut out of some trope. Surprisingly it isn't the case at all. For some reason the characters here have more personality then most other Isekais, which is even more perplexing.
Animation: The quality of animation is surprisingly decent. This is hardly your run of the mill isekai level production values, it is certainly much more than that. The scenes are smooth and fluid unlike the janky mess that most shows pass off as animation.
Music: It does it's job as it should. The opening and Ending music is standard too.
Enjoyment: The fact that something so obnoxiously ridiculous could be done tastefully, and that too with a decent amount of thought put into it is itself a recipe for enjoyment. In the end people tend to care about the little things and that is where it seems to be thriving.
For instance, there is a scene where the Vending Machine Isekai protagonist contemplates that he can't give away things for free before he has turned a profit. As the profit, or the points he earns by selling the articles he has to offer go directly in maintaining his health bar, and helps him acquire skills. If he is not cautious he will be dead. He can do good and become powerful after he has turned a profit, sold his articles, and to no one's surprise he does exactly that.
This simple fact that most Isekais will gloss over these kind of little things, and make the protagonist all powerful without any serious thought put to it, without thinking of the consequences is what turn off most viewers. And, the fact that a vending machine of all things contemplates this much is what makes it this ridiculous.
So is this the most ridiculously outrageous Anime of the season, possibly of the year, Yes, quite possibly of the last few years. Though, is it the most outrageously ridiculous Anime of the season, No, certainly not. There is enough enjoyment to be had here, but of course this isn't going to be for everybody.
