The official account for Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon has unleashed the main promotional video for its third season, teasing an April 1, 2026 premiere with fresh glimpses of Boxxo's vending-powered heroics in treacherous dungeons.
The newly unveiled trailer highlights the return of protagonist Boxxo, the sentient vending machine voiced by Jun Fukuyama, as he navigates perilous labyrinths alongside his companions. Viewers get a glimpse of intense action sequences, where Boxxo dispenses everything from snacks to survival gear, aiding allies like the super-strong Lammis (Kaede Hondo) and the inventive Hulemy (Kotomi Aihara).
The PV also introduces the opening theme Jihankism by VIVARUSH, a vibrant and energetic track that pulses with the series' signature mix of comedy and adventure. Complementing it is the ending theme Mekurumeku Rendezvous performed by FUWAMOCO, the twin VTuber duo from Hololive English, whose lively and catchy vocals provide a whimsical and upbeat conclusion to the footage.
Accompanying the trailer release is a striking new key visual, placing Boxxo prominently in the center amid a colorful array of his dispensed products, surrounded by key characters including Shui (Miyu Tomita), Kerioil (Kazuya Nakai), Filmina (Ai Kayano), and others. Additional character visuals for the core cast have been shared, showcasing updated designs that reflect their growth and roles in this upcoming season. The artwork emphasizes the contrast between Boxxo's unassuming mechanical appearance and the dynamic, high-stakes fantasy world around him.
Production for season 3 continues with much of the Season 2 team intact. Noriaki Akitaya serves as director at Studios Gokumi and AXsiZ, with Tatsuya Takahashi on series composition. Character concepts come from Yurei Hagure, adapted into anime designs by Takahiro Sakai and Naoki Yamauchi. The team also features monster designer Ryō Akizuki, color designer Yōko Suzuki, and music composers Yūta Uraki and Keita Takahashi. The voice cast returns in full force, with standout performances from Daisuke Yamashita as Aka, Chunichi Enoki as Shiro, Takuya Eguchi as Mishuel, and more, preserving the quirky chemistry that defines the series.
The anime will debut on TOKYO MX on April 1 at 10:00 PM JST, with weekly Wednesday broadcasts. It will also air on BS NTV and other channels like AT-X in subsequent slots, expanding reach across Japanese television. Streaming availability for international audiences is anticipated to follow closely, though exact platforms and timings are still forthcoming.
Building on the massive popularity of Hirukuma's light novel series—which has amassed over 20 million page views on Shōsetsuka ni Narō and spawned four volumes under Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko—this third season looks poised to delve further into Boxxo's unconventional role in safeguarding the fantasy realm. Here's Crunchyroll's story description of the isekai series:
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?
Viewers eager to refresh their memory on Boxxo's journey can stream the first two seasons of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon on Crunchyroll, available with English subtitles and dubbed options for full immersion in the vending machine isekai phenomenon.
