As the first episode of Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon season 3 begins, Boxxo and Kikoyu try to outdo one another with food yet again before sharing their birthday party. Shortly afterward, we say goodbye to Kikoyu—who leaves on a personal quest—before Boxxo and his friends search for another member of the Menagerie of Fools at a beachside stratum. Lammis, Boxxo, and Hulemy fish and plan a seafood barbecue, before an unexpected twist…

The first episode of Vending Machine season 3 is fairly slow-paced. There isn’t much at stake, and the most exciting part—other than a barbecue surprise—is a tease about Kerioyl and his family. In the second half of the episode, the characters visit a new stratum, and the music there certainly fits the tropical setting. The director of this stratum seems to be a child, but considering how odd some of the other stratum directors are, he really isn’t that out of place. The ending theme is enjoyable and features cute chibi-style versions of the characters. I will definitely continue with the season and plan to rewatch the first episode once the dub releases! 

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
