According to the official website, the exact release date will be announced soon, but the creators tease that this season will enter the final arc of the story, promising high emotional stakes and long-awaited resolutions.
Based on the fantasy light novel series of the same name, the anime brings together the talents of studios AXsiZ and Studio Gokumi. The show originally premiered in July 2023 and quickly gained a following for its unusual premise and heartfelt humor. Its second season debuted in 2025, and each installment includes twelve episodes filled with equal parts action, creativity, and warmth.
The story follows a devoted vending machine enthusiast who dies while trying to save a falling vending machine, only to awaken in a magical world as a sentient one himself. Although he retains his ability to see and hear, he cannot move, and can only communicate using stock phrases like “Welcome” or “Sorry.” Fortunately, he is discovered by a strong and kind-hearted huntress named Lammis, who carries him to her village. There, his gift for producing food, drinks, and useful items on demand becomes a vital resource to the people around him, setting the stage for a story of survival, ingenuity, and friendship.
With its combination of fantasy adventure, heartfelt character development, and peculiar humor, the series has become a favorite among anime fans who love unconventional stories. As the third season approaches, expectations are high for a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to this strange yet inspiring journey through the labyrinth.
