The weirdest isekai is back! Yes, you read that right — Reborn as a Vending Machine is getting a second season, and it’s set to premiere in July 2025. From a bizarre premise to unexpectedly wholesome character dynamics, this series became a cult hit when it aired in 2023. Now, Boxxo and Lammis return for more dungeon-crawling, item-dispensing adventures!
Let’s break down everything we know so far. 👇
🌀 What Is Reborn as a Vending Machine?
Based on a light novel series by Hirukuma, Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon is… exactly what the title suggests. A man dies after being crushed by a vending machine, only to be reincarnated as a vending machine in a fantasy dungeon. He can only communicate through pre-programmed phrases and offers items like drinks and snacks to adventurers.
His closest companion is Lammis, a strong but clumsy hunter who carries him around on her back. Together, they form an odd but endearing duo that quickly became a fan favorite.
🎨 Animation and Studio
The show is animated by Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ. They did a great job capturing the lighthearted tone of the series. From food-related humor to explosive magical battles, the animation helped elevate the “meme” idea into something memorable.
No word yet on whether the same team will return for Season 2, but fingers crossed for consistency.
💡 Why It Works
Even with such a strange concept, Reborn as a Vending Machine stood out in a genre oversaturated with overpowered heroes and generic fantasy tropes. It embraced its silliness while also telling a surprisingly heartfelt story about support, survival, and connection — all through the lens of a literal object.
The humor lands, the friendship between Boxxo and Lammis is genuine, and the fantasy setting provides enough stakes to keep things moving.
📅 Release Date
Season 2 premieres in July 2025, just in time for the summer anime season. Expect a new trailer and visuals in the coming months as the hype begins to build.
🛒 Final Thoughts
Reborn as a Vending Machine may have started as a joke in the anime community, but it’s managed to gain a small but dedicated fanbase. Season 2 is a chance to show that the series can evolve while still staying true to its bizarre, wholesome roots.
If you’re looking for an isekai that’s truly different, this one might just be your next favorite.
