Reborn as a Vending Machine is getting a second season for its anime, but the lack of much source material might pose a major problem for the series.
The isekai anime "Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon" is getting a second season, but its future remains uncertain due to limited source material. The series features a man reincarnated as a vending machine and his adventures with a powerful hunter named Lammis. Despite its unusual concept, the anime has gained a following.
The original web novel by Hirukuma began in 2016 and inspired light novels and a manga adaptation. However, the source material is limited, with only three light novel volumes and one manga volume released so far.
The challenge for the second season lies in catching up with the source material. If the gap becomes too small, the anime might need to introduce filler content or deviate from the original story. While this could bring new directions, it also risks losing the established tone and disappointing fans.
Nevertheless, the anime's popularity and positive reception might encourage the author to continue the novels, providing more material for the series. The recently localized English light novels could further boost interest.
"Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon" can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
