Reincarnated as a vending machine — First Impressions

Jidou Hanbaiki Ni Umarekawatta Ore Wa Meikyuu Wo Samayou: dude gets reincarnated as a vending machine, hooks up with a muscular woman who takes him all over the Labyrinth they live in.

This was fun if a bit slow in setting up the premise. Having the main character remain a vending machine will be even more limiting than having him be a sword. Curious to see how they’ll deal with it. Lammis, his muscular partner seems good fun and hopefully there will be a good cast to balance the series out. The original light novel apparently ran for only three volumes, so can be fully adapted in one season. Product quality is decent but not spectacular. A decent time waster, but you’ll miss nothing much skipping this.

Japanese vending machines are awesome by the way. If you can believe anime, they’re everywhere, always fully stocked and with a range of products varying from whale meat to used panties. It’s no wonder that our protagonist was such a fan of them he ended up dying trying to save one. Quite a contrast with the ones found over here, usually stocking overpriced colas and candy bars…
