What could Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2 be about?
With Hirukuma’s light novel series, published by Kadokawa and fully translated into English by Yen Press, offering rich source material, Season 2 of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon is set to delve deeper into Boxxo’s escapades. The first season covered the initial arcs, introducing Boxxo’s vending machine abilities, his bond with the determined Lammis, and their encounters with dungeon creatures and allies. The season finale teased greater dangers, including the looming threat of a demon lord.
Season 2 is expected to expand the world-building, introducing new characters and exploring the intricacies of Boxxo’s unique powers. Viewers can anticipate more inventive uses of his vending machine functions, such as dispensing items to aid in battles or solve puzzles. The story may center on Boxxo and Lammis joining forces with their companions to confront the demon lord, as hinted at in Season 1’s conclusion.

Here's the official trailer for Reborn as a Vending Machine Season 2:
With only three light novel volumes, the anime may face challenges in adapting the remaining material. Some speculate that Season 2 could incorporate original storylines or expand existing arcs to sustain the series’ momentum. Regardless, the return of Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ, under new director Takashi Yamamoto, promises a visually captivating continuation.
Crunchyroll's description of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon reads:
The future of this fantasy world now lies in the hands of…a vending machine! Boxxo was once a human, until he died in an accident and was reincarnated as a sentient piece of machinery. While he can still hear and see, there’s no way for him to move by himself or speak more than his programmed phrases. How can he make the most of this strange new life?
