Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (aka Hero Skill: Online Supermarket) is a delightful twist on the isekai formula that doesn't rely on epic battles or grand prophecies to hold your attention-it wins you over with food, charm, and a low-stakes, comfy vibe.

Rather than a sword-wielding savior, the protagonist uses his unique ability to buy modern Japanese groceries in a fantasy world. It's absurd... and it works. The show thrives on its laid-back tone, humorous character interactions, and the unexpectedly detailed food animation. Watching fantasy creatures go wild over teriyaki chicken and pudding is oddly satisfying.

Fel is a scene-stealer, and the chemistry between him and the main character adds a cozy, slice-of-life energy that's rare in the genre.

That said, the series lacks real dramatic tension, and some episodes feel repetitive in structure. Viewers expecting high-stakes action or deep worldbuilding may be disappointed.

It's a wholesome and original isekai that leans into culinary charm over combat-great for fans of relaxing fantasy adventures.

This is genuinely one of the best isekai I've ever seen especially in a genre that relies on anime girls bouncing their t1ts as a stronghold to get all the kids interested. This anime reminds me of a chill, something I could watch and get done in a day or two, or something I could just watch anywhere overall and of course the art is beautiful its calming it has a nice story some lose ends like, how does his power work, how come he somehow gets online shopping, and what happened to the others how do their power work, but then again this is an isekai anime not a marvel movie lol, but perfect non the less I genuinely hope the genre isekai can take a lot of inspiration from this anime because this proves u do not needs anime girls bouncing their big uwu t1ts around to make an anime interesting. Prefect anime def one of my fav reminds me of reincarnated as a slime in the aspect of just calming and beautiful story line and reminds me of bofuri in just adventure and art- wise. MAPPA DID ITS THING ON THIS.

I've never been a huge anime fan, but Campfire Cooking changed that for me.

I'm currently watching the series for the 5th time, and it still gives me the same amount of happiness and joy as it did the first time I watched it. Watching Mukoda and company as their simple (or rather less than at times) adventure unfolds is the perfect thing to help one unwind after a long day. And of course, the food is amazing.

It doesn't matter to me how overpowered the main characters are, I honestly find it refreshing. Within the show, creativity abounds, and the art style and the food it creates is magical. The dialogue is enjoyable and well thought out as well.

If Campfire Cooking doesn't get a 2nd season, I along with many others I'm sure will be extremely disappointed. The world needs more shows just like this one, escapism has never been so delicious and light hearted!

With this wonderful anime not getting much press, it almost slipped by me.

It didn't even take half an episode before I was hooked. Usually you have to watch a few episodes to get to know the characters and story, but this one was entertaining form the first second on.

The animation was good, but nothing to be wowed by. The writing however was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Funny, moderate action, adorable characters and it successfully pulled off the "foodie" genre as well.

It doesn't cross into the "mature audience" zone either, so kids can watch it too.

Don't let this year go by without watching this wonderful. Anime.

To claim that Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi, also known as Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, written by novelist Ren Eguchi, is the now-famous studio MAPPA's first-ever Isekai endeavor-that is, that this show is MAPPA's Peak-sekai-is not wholly unfounded. Undoubtedly, as a whole, it's fantastic, and MAPPA DID SUCCESSFULLY showcase a respectable Isekai for the first time.

Tsuyoshi Mukouda, the master chef and cowardly salaryman who is the MC, is called to an other realm. In this episode, Mukohda, equipped with the power of the "Online Supermarket," and the "Hero's Party" organization are set up to assist the kingdom in driving out demons. After persuading the nobility, Mukohda eliminates himself from the Isekai race and gains freedom to travel the fantastical realm.

The opening theme song is standard fare for an Isekai series of this kind. The debut song by Van de Shop, "Anisong," blends in nicely with the seductive imagery and sounds alright. Similarly, Yuuma Uchida's ED song "Happy-go-Journey" sounds ordinary as well, so that's not a problem. To put it mildly, it's merely passable, in my opinion.

Among the many copy-paste Isekai shows this season, Cooking Isekai is a breath of fresh air. Despite not being an OP power fantasy, this program is among the greatest we've seen this season since it's just a campy, carefree look at life.
