When I first heard about the series featuring a guy reincarnating as a vending machine, I couldn't help but find the idea utterly ridiculous. Yet, it piqued my curiosity, compelling me to give it a watch. I was prepared to chuckle at its absurdity and write about how silly it was, but... To my surprise, the series turned out to be relatively normal, and at times, even a bit mundane. What intrigued me the most wasn't the original concept itself, but rather the inventive ways the show explored all the things vending machines are used for in Japan. I found it amusing to see how the authors stretched the boundaries of what qualifies as a vending machine. I must give credit to the series for its creative approach in handling the protagonist's transformations into various vending machines to tackle different problems. It was surprisingly logical at times, adding a layer of believability to the otherwise fantastical premise. Moreover, the characters are quite likable, including our vending machine protagonist. The overall atmosphere is pleasant, and the world-building offers some intriguing elements here and there. While I'm not opposed to watching the second season, I can't say the first one fully captivated me. It was enjoyable enough, but it didn't have me eagerly anticipating each episode. I'll give it a slightly above-average rating of 6/10. ()
