A teaser visual and trailer have been released for the previously announced Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon anime adaptation. A July premiere window was also revealed.
Jun Fukuyama is voicing the titular vending machine while Kaede Hondo is voicing the inhumanly strong heroine Lammis.
As for the staff of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon, they include Noriaki Akitaya (Ayakashi Triangle) as director, Tatsuya Takahashi (Vermeil in Gold) as series composer, and Takahiro Sakai (Yuki Yuna is a Hero: The Great Mankai Chapter) as character designer. Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ are co-producing.
The anime is based on the Kadokawa-published light novels written by Hirukuma and illustrated by Itsuwa Katou. The series, published under the Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko label, began in 2016 and has three volumes as of 2017.
Yen Press describes the light novels 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?!
The story began as a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2016. A manga adaptation by Kunieda with character designs from Hagure Yuuki began serialization in 2021. Yen Press also published the manga in English.
