The Reborn as a Vending Machine Season 2 TV anime has received a main trailer and a July 2 JST premiere date. The former includes a preview of the newly announced opening theme “Mirai Cider” by BRADIO.
A key visual for the show was also released.
Reborn as a Vending Machine is based on the KADOKAWA-published light novels written by Hirukuma. Yen Press describes the books’ premise as:
After dying in a traffic accident, I find myself standing near an unfamiliar lake. My body won’t move, I can’t hear my voice, and when I try to shout in confusion, words that I never expected come out!
“Get one free with a winner.”
I-it seems I’ve turned into a vending machine…! I can only do what actual vending machines can. It’s impossible to move by myself, and there’s no way for me to have any meaningful conversation-how am I going to survive some fantasy world’s dungeon like this?!
Reborn as a Vending Machine started as a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2016, with the Itsuwa Katou-illustrated light novel series starting later the same year. Three light novel volumes were released between 2016 and 2017.
A new edition with illustrations by Hagure Yuuki, who is also the character designer of the manga adaptation, began publication in 2021. Both the old and new publications fall under the KADOKAWA Sneaker Bunko label.
