As Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 dives deeper into its flavorful isekai escapades, the release of creditless opening and ending theme videos offers a pure glimpse into the anime's animated artistry and melodic hooks. These sequences highlight the series' signature mix of fantasy quests and gourmet innovation, free from on-screen text overlays.
The opening sequence features the song yummy goodday, performed by Cent Chihiro Chittiii, known mononymously as CENT. This upbeat track captures the whimsical spirit of protagonist Tsuyoshi Mukouda's otherworldly journey, with dynamic visuals depicting Mukouda and his companions traversing fantastical landscapes while indulging in delectable meals sourced from his unique skill. The creditless video emphasizes the fluid animation from studio MAPPA, including lively character interactions and appetizing close-ups of gourmet dishes that are sure to whet viewers' appetites.
Complementing the opening is the ending theme SALT AND PEPPER, delivered by the hip-hop duo chelmico. The sequence adopts a more relaxed vibe, focusing on the cozy camaraderie among the party members as they unwind after their adventures. Stylish animations portray everyday moments infused with humor and warmth, underscoring the series' theme of finding comfort in simple pleasures amid epic quests. Both sequences maintain the high production quality that MAPPA is renowned for, with intricate backgrounds and expressive character designs that bring the isekai world to life.
Season 2 premiered on October 7, 2025, continuing the story from where the first season left off. Directed by Kiyoshi Matsuda at MAPPA, the anime features returning voice talent, including Yuma Uchida as Mukouda, Maaya Uchida as the legendary wolf Fenrir, Satoshi Hino as the slime Sui, and Hina Kino as the goddess Ninrir. New additions to the cast enhance the expanding narrative, with Ayumu Murase voicing Dra-chan, the pixie dragon who joins the group enticed by Mukouda's culinary prowess; Daisuke Namikawa as Elleland, the guild master; and Shirō Saitō as Hephaestus, the God of Blacksmiths. The production team includes Michiko Yokote handling series composition, Nao Ōtsu on character designs, and a musical score composed by Kana Utatane, Kuricorder Quartet, and Masato Kōda.
The season promises more inventive cooking scenes, where Mukouda's "Online Supermarket" skill allows him to procure modern ingredients in a medieval fantasy setting, leading to hilariously overpowered results. Episodes build on the light-hearted adventures, with Mukouda's party facing new challenges while prioritizing gastronomic delights over traditional heroics.
The Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill series originated as a light novel written by Ren Eguchi, with illustrations by Masa. It began as a web novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō platform in January 2016 before being acquired for print publication by Overlap in November 2016. As of mid-2025, the series has released over 15 volumes and has surpassed 10 million copies in circulation worldwide, spawning manga adaptations and the successful anime.
Crunchyroll describes the isekai anime series:
When a magical realm looks to summon heroes, they’re sorely disappointed to end up with a mediocre salaryman who bails on becoming a hero right after arrival. The only thing Mukouda can rely on is his unique skill: the “Online Supermarket,” a skill that allows him to buy modern goods in a fantasy world. It’s useless for combat, but if he plays his cards right, he could lead a comfortable life, maybe? At least, that’s what Mukouda thinks, but it turns out modern food bought with this skill has some absurd effects! What happens when Mukouda introduces ridiculously tasty food to a fantasy world like this? He gets some ridiculous kind of buff!
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, with the first two episodes now available in both subtitled and dubbed formats for viewers worldwide, and new episodes releasing weekly.
