Probably my favorite "zany isekai premise" so far and hte execution well exceeds the goofiness you'd expect from such an absurd setup. Every episode uses hsi vending powers in creative ways and I enjoyed seeing how the new abilities he gest come into the mix. What I didn't expect was that the actual plotline and characters would be so enjoyable beyond the central gag. Hakkon is the star, but the people around him have really fun personalities and the plots are enjoyable as well. Even the side characters tend to have a decent little arc and the show is even a bit educational about the history and uses of some of the more esoteric types of vending machines that Japan has developed.
The animation quality is fairly standard, nothing amazing, but visually they make up for it with strong, memorable character designs and Hakkon himself has a number of interesting forms. There's a lot of great visual comedy from the things he dispenses and the world looks nice.
Thankfully the series has been renewed for a second season, which I eagerly look forward to. I feel like they left off in a good place and the final episode has an exciting battle, but still tantalizes you for a little more. Now to go score some of that sweet Hakkon merch I know Japan's holding out on us in the meantime.
