English Dub Review: Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon “The Troubles Will Continue Forever”

Overview

The situation gets hairy at the Dog Mountain stratum, and Boxxo attempts to help Gorth with his love life.

Our Take

Picking up after the previous episode, this installment quickly reunites the main cast before shifting into a lighter and more comedic tone. While there is a brief encounter involving a dangerous new threat, the episode avoids becoming too action-heavy and instead focuses more on teamwork, humor, and the entertaining group dynamics that continue to carry the series. The monster sequence has a fun oversized-creature atmosphere to it, even if the tension itself feels fairly short-lived compared to earlier conflicts.

The majority of the episode leans into slice-of-life content, giving several side characters more attention while highlighting the charm of the cast’s everyday interactions. Much of the enjoyment comes from the playful chemistry surrounding Boxxo, especially with the ongoing teasing, jealous reactions, and awkward romantic undertones between multiple characters. The humor lands consistently well, and the calmer pacing allows the personalities of the supporting cast to shine in a way that feels warm and genuinely enjoyable.

Overall, this was a relaxed and wholesome episode that prioritized character interactions over major action, and it worked well because of the cast’s natural chemistry. The Dog Mountain encounter may have felt underwhelming compared to previous stratum lord battles, but the softer pacing afterward allowed specific characters to receive some surprisingly enjoyable development. Between the comedy, subtle romance, and the consistently sweet reunion moments involving Boxxo and Lammis, the episode maintained the series’ cozy appeal while continuing to strengthen its lovable ensemble cast.
