Kadokawa announced on Saturday that Hirukuma’s Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (Jidōhanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyū ni Samayō) light novel series is inspiring an anime.
The announcement’s teaser video below begins with a narrator introducing a fantasy world that “has been saved numerous times by reincarnated people,” then remarking with surprise that the fate of the fantasy world now lies with a vending machine.
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!
