Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill

Finally, after a long time, I enjoyed a good Isekai anime with an awesome Slice of life.

One line:

The Adventures of a Normal cook in an Isekai world.

Plot:

'Tsuyoshi Mukouda' (Protagonist), summoned with other heroes to save an isekai nation but he understood that with his skill he can't be helped, so he gets separated and lives as a normal citizen doing his adventures with his epic familiars.

Protagonist:

Tsuyoshi Mukouda

Truly a different anime hero who lives exactly like a normal human from earth (A reality person).

Apart from other Isekai protagonists, he is not an overpowered character but a great cook.

He truly archived a name with his great cooking skill and had the potential to change our minds about OP heroes in Isekai anime.

The way how he was written is unique, kind, and a Protagonist who hates violence. it's new to us while watching the anime.

Let's talk about the anime:

The main plus for this anime is its story which is quite different from most of the Isekai anime. The story didn't deviate from its plot which made this interesting.

The ideology of the characters was fixed up to the end that's one of the things I liked the most.
Apart from the other Isekai heroes, In this, the protagonist is a different character who wants to live a quiet life without any violence.

Other than our Protagonist, his familiars Fel and Sui

I liked their duo who made this show extra special especially sui, I loved these Kawai moments.

The way they show their feeling towards each really worked well in this anime.

The comedy part worked well which is a boost to this anime.

I liked the goddess part which is fun to watch

It's really named for its cooking, which made me hungry with their cooking skills, I personally used to watch this show while am eating my food.

The skill he was granted was really unique at least for me I really wish to have it in my life

As usual, MAPPA nailed its work with excellent animation which took this anime to a different level, especially the cooking part.

The main drawback I personally felt is that the story doesn't accelerate to a high point. instead, it moved in a straight line without any up and down. because of that, I can't feel anything other than feel-good at the end of each episode. I can't feel any other emotions in this anime, which is the thing I hate the most about this anime but I can't blame it as it's written in that way.

I really can't find any negatives in this feel-good, comedy anime, and it's the only negative point.(lol)

Finally, it's just the beginning, there will be more in Season 2.

If you wished to make your heart cool down and get relieved from your stress, I recommend you to watch this anime up to the end without the rush. It's great slice-of-life anime without any romance/stuff.

It may not be a masterpiece but it's really a great Isekai anime to watch.

"Campfire Cooking in another world with my absurd skill"
Delivers a fresh taste on the isekai genre by blending the typical reincarnation premise with a unique and surprisingly relatable skill: online shopping. While many isekai series focus on adventuring, slavery, intense battles, or complicated world-building, this show takes a more relaxed, slice-of-life approach centered around cooking. For those who enjoy food-focused anime, it's a delicious treat, albeit one that might not resonate as deeply for fans seeking high-stakes storytelling.
The protagonist, Mukouda Tsuyoshi, is your standard isekai man from modern Japan who finds himself summoned to another world alongside a group of hero side characters. However, unlike his fellow summonees, Mukouda quickly realizes that he's not a destined warrior or magical prodigy. His only skill, the "Online Grocery," allows him to purchase goods from his original world and have them delivered instantly in this fantasy realm. While this might sound underwhelming compared to spells or combat skills, the show turns this concept into a fun hook. Mukouda uses his skill to source ingredients and cookware from Earth, transforming otherworldly ingriedents into a feast that captivate those around him.
The show’s initial hook lies in its focus on food preparation and the reactions of Mukouda’s companions. Watching him use everyday ingredients like soy sauce, spices, and canned goods to create culinary masterpieces is entertainming and oddly satisfying. His dishes often evoke over-the-top reactions from those who taste them, much like in other food-themed anime. These moments are done by over the top interactions with his companions, particularly Fel, a powerful yet gluttonous Fenrir who becomes Mukouda's contracted familiar, and Sui, an adorable slime who has an appetite for food
The pacing is laid-back, prioritizing moments of friendships and food appreciation over your standard isekai story. While there are occasional encounters with monsters or bandits, these are resolved with minimal tension, often thanks to Fel’s overwhelming strength. This makes the series feel more like a cozy cooking show set in a fantasy world rather than an epic adventure. For mid isekai watchers who appreciate slice-of-life stories with a food twist, this show works prety good. However, those looking for a more dramatic story should look elsewhere this is a pretty chill anime to fall asleep too
Visually, the animation is doable, with the food scenes receiving the most attention. The meals are are drawn like the best food ever, capturing the textures, colors, and details that make you hungry. The character designs are simple and easy to understand, aligning with the overall simplicity of the story.
While "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill" doesn’t reinvent the wheel of the isekai genre, it stands out for its unique premise and focus on food. It’s a show that doesn’t take itself too seriously, offering watchers a relaxing escape filled with homecooked meals, , and heartwarming moments. While it may not be groundbreaking, it’s an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate a more chill-laid back, feel-good isekai experience. with, this series has enough going for it to keep you entertained, even if it doesn't leave a lasting impression.
