Campfire Cooking is a sweet slice-of-life anime in a fantastic setting, and its new season has just been announced.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (Tondemo Sukiru de Isekai Hōrō Meshi) spoilers ahead!
Summary
- Campfire Cooking is about a man summoned into a fantasy world to help fight off demons.
- Rather than fighting demons, the main character just goes around the world perfecting his cooking skills.
- Season 2 of Campfire Cooking is announced.
- Studio MAPPA reposted the announcement. It can be assumed that MAPPA will work on this season as it did with the first.
First Season
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill is dedicated to the main character Mukouda, who almost became a hero. He was summoned into a fantasy world to fight demons, but being suspicious and not exactly capable as a warrior, he made the summoners leave him alone. The anime, as a result, is all about traveling through a new, unfamiliar, magical world and learning to cook better and better meals. Indeed, the ability that Mukouda got upon summoning would simply allow him to summon food from Japan. Cooking seems like a logical decision.
On his way, Mukouda makes friends (mostly with strange, magical creatures), and meets gods and monsters, most of whom really appreciate his cooking. In the end, Mukouda’s skill was not so useless, but the summoners don't need to know that.
Second Season
A recent tweet by the official account of the Campfire Cooking announced that the second season production was “decided.” The tweet also thanked the viewers for the support. Fans noticed that the tweet was reposted by MAPPA, which implies that the studio might be involved in the future season. It would make sense since MAPPA worked on the first season as well. However, little has been confirmed yet, and we do not know for sure which studio and what cast are going to be involved.
As the tweet stated, the continued support of the fans is among the most important factors that decide whether an anime gets a second season. Fans are already very happy to hear the good news! They have high hopes for the second season of an anime that turned out to be so sweet, cozy, and wholesome. The reddit thread dedicated to the tweet is full of positivity and hope. The second season of Campfire Cooking will be received very warmly, so let’s hope that it does well.
