Past Seasons
I completed Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill over the past week.
It is pretty good for a “trash” isekai. Mukouda is a wimp but is still likeable. Sui is very cute.
It reminds me a little of Dungeon Meshi with its focus on cooking in a fantasy world.
I have got some non-serious nitpicks about the show:
- With how much Fel hunts, the ecosystem should be in shambles.
- They didn’t show us how the characters handle sanitation. With how much food they are eating and no proper toilets / latrine, they should have loads of faeces to let out (especially Fel). We don’t see Mukouda using his Online Shopping skill to deal with this issue.
- We hardly see Mukouda cooking using a campfire despite what the title says.
Season 2 was just announced and I’m looking forward to it.
This Season
The only new real show I’ve picked up so far is Gundam GQuuuuuuX. As is usual for Gundam, an explosive first episode does a good job of getting viewers hooked.
I’ll be monitoring everyone’s comments to see if there’s anything else worth picking up.
For now, I am eyeing Moonrise.

I loved Campfire Cooking and its OP is one that I still listen to regularly. It’s one of those shows where the story is fine, but the production value of the first season was way better than it had any right to be. I have read pretty far into the manga and I think that the anime definitely elevated things in that sense. There is also a whole Sui spinoff manga that I am up to date one (even after eventually dropping the main series) because Sui is just too darn cute.
