Plans for Reborn as a Vending Machine season 2 were first revealed back in September 2023, and now the adaptation’s return is closer than ever. After a long bout of radio silence, the new season is now set to premiere this July, and you can see more in the new teaser trailer and visual below.
Reborn as a Vending Machine Season 2 Teaser
The first season of the Reborn as a Vending Machine anime was directed by Noriaki Akitaya (Bakuman.), but season 2 will have Takashi Yamamoto (Onigiri) taking over. Tatsuya Takahashi is back on series composition, with Takahiro Sakai returning to handle character designs alongside former chief animation director Naoki Yamauchi at Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ.
The original Reborn as a Vending Machine light novels are available in English from Yen Press, which describes the story like so:
A middle-aged man with only one passion in his life meets a fitting end in a traffic accident. That’s where most stories would end, but instead, this is when his story begins when he’s reborn as what he admired the most in life–a vending machine! But his new lease on life(?) happens in the worst place possible–what can a vending machine do in a monster-infested dungeon when he can’t speak or even move on his own?
