I'm ashamed to admit I watched this due to how ridiculous it sounded. In the end it was actually one of the better isekai I watched. In the first season they really never drift from the core concept that the main character is a vending machine and can only do vending machine related things.
It did feel like it should have reached a natural conclusion in season 1, but I could see a second season being okay if it's used to wrap up the story (don't know enough about the original to know how long it is).
I'm mainly annoyed he can buy telepathy but won't because he's scared...
I remember making an essay about how Boxxo had some issues he had to deal with first, and how I am looking forward to the anime showing him dealing with those issues with the help of Huelmy, Lammis, Michael (who seems to be the most well-adjusted guy in the group--if it weren't for his speaking hang-ups), and the others.
I remember noting that Boxxo doesn't even mind remaining a vending machine forever, and likely doesn't even want to turn back to being a human. And that not getting telepathy is a sign of this.
Oh god, I forgot about that plot point. Yeah, hopefully they sort that out quickly. That writing in anime is too cringy for me.
Not to mention he's hesitant to turn into a human instead of wishing for the ability to switch to a human.
Way too many isekai stories have a timid main character that's scared of shit.
