On Crunchyroll, the new season of the anime Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill has started. The food in the series looks so good that fans would dive right in. The production team put a lot of effort into the visuals.
What’s the deal with the food? In this anime, Mukouda Tsuyoshi is summoned from today’s Japan to another world. The protagonist is looking forward to special adventures but soon realizes that he doesn’t have particularly practical skills.
He can only use the ability “Online Supermarket.” This allows him to order food from today’s Japan to the fantasy world. He thinks he is useless and prefers a quiet life. However, his dishes are so good that Mukouda quickly gains recognition.
Since the focus of the anime is on food, it is particularly important that it looks good. And for that, the creators came up with something special.
Creators of an anime focus on real cooking skills
Why does it look so good? To make the food look as authentic as possible, the team behind the anime cooked the dishes beforehand. From simple grilled fish to stews with sausages and potatoes, there are some delicacies included.
For one dish, the team even bought particularly expensive meat, which can be seen in the marbling of the fat. Such marbling is often found in high-quality meat like Wagyu beef. You can find the dish in a short on YouTube.
The artists then based their sketches on the real cooking footage. These sketches served as the basis for the particularly tasty scenes of the anime.
What do fans say about it? On Reddit, many hungry mouths gather. They find such an approach commendable and get hungry as soon as they see the scenes from the anime.
One user writes how dangerous it is to watch the anime in the evening: “My mouth is watering, and I can only think about going to the store that’s open at night to buy some meat. But that won’t work because I have to get up early for work.”
There are even viewers who follow the recipes from the anime and cook them.
Where can I watch the anime? If you want to convince yourself of the delicious food, you can watch Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill on Crunchyroll. You don’t even need a premium subscription to watch Season 1. Unfortunately, a paid subscription is required for Episode 1 of Season 2.
There are other animes that are convincing with their particularly delicious food. One series that one might not think of at first is Dandadan. But here too, the creators had to be creative due to the brilliant source material: Because the food in the manga looked too good, the creators of the hit anime Dandadan had to be creative
