Earlier this year, Studio MAPPA, the studio behind popular anime shows like Attack on Titan, Chainsaw Man, and Vinland Saga, tackled the isekai genre with the anime adaptation of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, also known as Campfire Isekai, and fans of the anime enjoyed the fantasy adventure's delicious cooking, its fresh take on the isekai genre, and the interesting bond between the protagonist Tsuyoshi Mukouda and the legendary beast known as Fenrir.
The first season of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill premiered on January 11, 2023, and concluded with its twelfth episode on March 29.
