Hold onto your spatulas, anime fans—the first trailer for Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 just dropped on May 3, 2025, and it’s a delicious teaser for what’s to come! Announced at the Overlap Bunko 10th Anniversary Memorial Fest in December 2024, the beloved isekai series is officially returning in October 2025, with MAPPA once again handling the animation. Packed with mouthwatering dishes, new characters, and a dungeon adventure, this trailer has reignited my love for Mukouda and his crew. Let’s dig into the details and see why this season is shaping up to be a feast for the eyes!
A Trailer That Sizzles with Charm
The teaser trailer, released on MAPPA’s official YouTube channel, is a quick but delightful peek into Season 2. It opens with Mukouda (voiced by Yuma Uchida) cooking over a campfire in a breathtaking forest, the flames casting a warm glow on his latest dish—some kind of sizzling stir-fry that looks way too good to be animated. Fel, the legendary wolf (Satoshi Hino), is lounging nearby, his eyes practically sparkling with hunger, while Sui, the adorable slime (Hina Kino), jiggles excitedly. MAPPA’s animation is as stunning as ever, with every detail of the food—from the steam rising off the pan to the golden crisp of the meat—making my stomach rumble.
The trailer then teases the new arc in Karelina, where Mukouda and his party are headed after Season 1’s ending. We get a glimpse of a massive dungeon, with eerie shadows of monsters lurking in the depths, hinting at some action-packed challenges ahead. But the real star is still the cooking—Mukouda’s “Online Supermarket” skill lets him summon modern Japanese ingredients, and the trailer shows him whipping up a dish that has Fel and Sui losing their minds with delight. A new voice, Ayumu Murase, also makes a brief appearance, though his character hasn’t been revealed yet. The trailer ends with a shot of the trio gazing at a starry sky, with the premiere date—October 2025—flashing across the screen.
Returning Crew and a New Voice
The core team from Season 1 is back to ensure this season stays as cozy and fun as ever. Kiyoshi Matsuda is directing again, with Michiko Yokote handling the series composition, keeping the story’s heart intact. Nao Otsu returns as character designer, maintaining the warm, inviting look of the characters, and the music—composed by Masato Koda, Kana Utatane, and Kuricorder Quartet—sounds just as whimsical as I remember. There are some staff changes at MAPPA, though details are slim; I’m hoping it’s just some fresh talent to spice things up.
The big news is Ayumu Murase joining the cast in a mystery role. Known for voicing Shoyo Hinata in Haikyuu!!, Murase brings a vibrant energy that could shake up the group dynamic. Fans on social media are buzzing with theories—some think he might voice a dragon, since the light novels’ Karelina arc dives into dragons’ usefulness, while others are betting on a new human character, maybe a rival for Mukouda. The returning voice cast is just as exciting: Uchida’s Mukouda is the perfect everyman, Hino’s Fel brings a gruff charm, and Kino’s Sui is pure cuteness in slime form.
What’s on the Menu for Season 2?
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, based on Ren Eguchi’s light novel series, follows Mukouda Tsuyoshi, a salaryman accidentally summoned to a fantasy world meant for heroes. While the other summoned teens get epic powers, Mukouda’s skill is “Online Supermarket,” letting him buy modern ingredients from Earth. It sounds underwhelming, but his cooking turns out to be a superpower, attracting powerful companions like Fel and Sui and making him a culinary legend.
Season 1, which aired from January to March 2023, was a surprise hit, blending foodie goodness with isekai humor. It ended with Mukouda, Fel, and Sui heading to Karelina at Willem’s request, setting up their next adventure. Season 2 will pick up there, diving into the Karelina arc from the light novels. The trailer hints at a dungeon crawl, which means we’ll see some monster battles, but I’m most excited for the cooking scenes. Mukouda’s dishes—like his teriyaki chicken or creamy soups—are always the highlight, and I’m curious to see what new recipes he’ll introduce. Will Fel grumble about spicy food again? Will Sui demand more sweets? I need to know!
Fan Reactions and Why It Matters
The trailer has sparked a wave of excitement online. Fans on X are calling it “the coziest isekai ever” and praising MAPPA’s animation, with one user saying, “The food looks so good I forgot how to blink!” Others are hyped for the dungeon arc, with posts speculating about new monsters and whether Mukouda will cook for a dragon. The October 2025 premiere feels perfectly timed—it’s been over two years since Season 1, and the wait has been tough, but this trailer proves it’ll be worth it.
Campfire Cooking stands out in the isekai genre because it’s not about being the strongest hero—it’s about finding joy in the little things, like a good meal shared with friends. In a world full of high-stakes anime, this show’s focus on cooking and camaraderie is a breath of fresh air. Plus, it’s inspired real-life fans to try Mukouda’s recipes, which you can find all over social media. I’m definitely planning a watch party with some homemade Japanese dishes when Season 2 drops!
Why I’m Counting Down the Days
I adored Season 1 of Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill for its humor, heart, and drool-worthy animation, and this Season 2 trailer has me even more obsessed. Mukouda’s low-key adventures, Fel’s food obsession, and Sui’s cuteness are back, and with a new dungeon arc and Ayumu Murase joining the cast, October 2025 can’t come soon enough. If you haven’t seen Season 1, it’s streaming on Crunchyroll—go binge it now! What did you think of the trailer? Are you as excited as I am? Let’s talk about it!
