Reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon never followed the usual isekai playbook. Instead, it leaned into absurdity and slowly turned it into charm. What began as a joke concept evolved into a clever fantasy series about survival, adaptation, and unlikely companionship. Now that Season 2 has wrapped, attention has shifted toward one question. Is Reborn as a Vending Machine Season 3 happening, and how far can Boxxo’s journey go?
Seasons Recap: From Accident to Adventure
The anime adapts Hirukuma’s light novel series and blends comedy with dungeon mechanics.
Season 1 aired from July 5 to September 20, 2023, with 12 episodes. The story followed a vending machine enthusiast who died in a bizarre accident and reincarnated as a sentient vending machine called Boxxo. Unable to move or speak freely, Boxxo survived by selling items and earning points. Soon after, he met Lammis, a strong but gentle hunter who carried him through dangerous terrain. Together, they faced monsters, gathered allies, and unlocked new abilities. The season balanced humor with world-building and ended by hinting at larger threats below the dungeon.
Season 2 ran from July 2 to September 17, 2025, again spanning 12 episodes. This chapter pushed Boxxo and Lammis into deeper dungeon levels. New companions joined the group, rival factions appeared, and Boxxo’s vending skills became strategic tools. At the same time, the story explored Boxxo’s memories of his former human life. By the finale, the series clearly moved beyond novelty and set the stage for something bigger.
Reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3 Release Date Status
Reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3 was officially greenlit on September 17, 2025, shortly after the Season 2 finale. The announcement arrived through the anime’s official social channels alongside a teaser visual.
As of January 2026, no release date has been confirmed. However, production has already started. Given the gap between earlier seasons, a 2027 release window appears realistic. Studios Gokumi and AXsiZ are expected to return.
What could be reborn as a Vending Machine I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3 Be About?
Season 3 is expected to move deeper into the dungeon’s core conflicts. With Boxxo’s vending abilities evolving beyond basic survival, upcoming arcs could explore:
- Powerful dungeon rulers and large-scale threats
- Advanced vending upgrades used in combat scenarios
- Stronger emotional focus on Lammis and her growing confidence
- Lore tied to Boxxo’s former human life
While the original light novels concluded at three volumes, the ongoing manga adaptation provides enough expanded material to support further storytelling.
