Our Take

The second season of this eccentric isekai charges back into the action without hesitation. The show wastes no time reacquainting viewers with its oddball world, pushing its quirky premise to new heights as it reintroduces familiar faces and sets the stage for a new conflict. The vending machine protagonist remains as delightfully bizarre as ever, continuing to surprise with how inventive and capable he can be in the most absurd situations.

Stylistically, the series seems to have taken a step forward. The animation feels more refined, and the direction leans further into the comedic and imaginative tone that defines the show. The opening and ending themes are catchy and full of personality, adding to the overall fun. As new characters step into the spotlight and returning ones get right back into gear, the chemistry between the cast remains a major highlight.

Overall, this new season kicks off with the same ridiculous energy, fast-paced humor, and unexpected heart that made the first so memorable. It skips the usual recaps and exposition, choosing instead to charge forward with full confidence in its strange but endearing identity. Embracing its bizarre premise with sincerity, the show delivers a quirky mix of comedy, creative battles, and warm character dynamics, all while ramping up the stakes. Whether you’re in it for the vending machine absurdity, the surprisingly engaging action, or the charming ensemble cast, this premiere reminds us why it’s still one of the most offbeat and entertaining isekai out there.
