Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3 is the spring entry that gets harder to ignore the more time you spend with it. Premiere is April 1, 2026 via Studio Gokumi, 12 eps, comedy register, and the source material is the kind that rewards patient readers.
Where it lives
The third season of Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou. Source readers already know the cliff this arc is walking off. Newcomers get the cleanest opening anywhere — the studio framed episode one for people who've never touched the light novel.
Who's behind it
Studio Gokumi's on the line, with VAP, Nippon Television Network, Docomo Anime Store on the committee. Their recent ledger is the thing flagging this as more than spring filler — the storyboards on the opener show actual budget, not contractual minimum.
Where to catch it
Wednesdays at 22:00 (JST). Episode count: 12. Same-day simulcast windows are on the usual Western streamers — check your local Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, or Hulu listing for the timed slot.
