Synopsis of Reborn as a Vending Machine anime
Reborn as a Vending Machine revolves around an unnamed Japanese vending machine otaku who is crushed to death by a falling vending machine. However, he soon discovers himself reincarnated as a sentient vending machine (Boxxo) in a dungeon in a fantasy world. There, he is able to see and hear but is immobile; his speech is limited, and he learns that in this new form, he can dispense any item he had purchased in his previous life and can turn those sales into points, which allows him to continue to exist.
In addition, he has the ability to use extra coins to upgrade his vending machine body, choose the products he stocks and their prices, and use some magical powers, such as creating a force field to defend himself. But as he nears his inevitable wilderness impasse, Lammis, a young, active hunter girl, comes into view.
As Lammis was hungry, the vending machines distributed some of the food to the ravenous Lammis, and the two quickly became friends. Later, both will travel to the world's dungeons, but they will encounter strange people and terrifying creatures along the way. It will be interesting to see how the story of the anime develops.
