The delightfully quirky isekai anime Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon is set to roll out its third season this April.
According to the anime’s official social media accounts, Season 3 of the anime adaptation of the unusual light novel series will once again bring its blend of fantasy, comedy, and dungeon exploration to TOKYO MX, BS Nippon TV and others in Japan and internationally starting in April.
A new teaser visual for Season 3 featuring Boxxo (aka Hakkon in Japan) alongside key characters Lammis, Hulemy, and Shui, was also released.
What makes Reborn as a Vending Machine stand out?
Season 3 will mark a pivotal point in the story’s progression as the narrative will enter its final arc.
After first premiering in July 2023 and then returning for a second run in summer 2025, the franchise has steadily built a following thanks to its inventive premise and charming characters.
That’s because at its core, Reborn as a Vending Machine flips the typical “isekai” trope on its head.
The protagonist is reincarnated into a fantasy world, not as a warrior or mage, but as a sentient vending machine who is nicknamed Boxxo.
Unable to move independently and limited to simple programmed speech, he is befriended by strong girl Lammis who is soon carrying him around on her back.
Now, it’s up to Hako to forge meaningful connections with the adventurers and villagers around him, selling goods and gradually carving out a role for himself in a dangerous dungeon-filled land.
This fresh twist on the genre has helped the original light novels, which are written by Hirukuma and illustrated by Itsuwa Kato and Yūki Hagure, amass impressive popularity, reaching top spots on user rankings and attracting millions of page views.
Cast and staff returning for Season 3
Along with all the main voice actors, fans will be happy to know the Season 2 staff is also returning for the third season, with Takashi Yamamoto directing, Tatsuya Takahashi in charge of series composition and scripts, and Takahiro Sakai and Naoki Yamauchi designing the cute characters.
Studio Gokumi and AxsiZ are back animating.
With just a couple of months to go before Reborn as a Vending Machine, Season 3 heads our way, we can expect more promo pieces releasing soon.
We’ll keep you in the loop when they do.
