Tokyo, Japan – The highly anticipated second season of the beloved anime series, Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, officially wrapped up its run on December 23, 2025, with its 12th episode bringing another comforting culinary adventure to a close. Fans can stream the entire second season, including the finale, on Crunchyroll.
A Return to the Isekai Kitchen
The second season, which was officially announced on October 29, 2023, premiered on October 7, 2025, much to the delight of viewers who had eagerly awaited Mukoda Tsuyoshi’s return to his fantastical world of gourmet adventures. Produced by Studio MAPPA, the series continued to follow Mukoda, a salaryman transported to a magical realm, who uses his unique “Online Supermarket” skill to acquire modern-day ingredients and cook delicious meals for his powerful, food-loving familiars, Fel, Sui, and the newly introduced Dora-chan.
The Okonomiyaki Finale: A Feast, Not a Farewell
The season finale, aptly titled “The Okonomiyaki Finale!”, remained true to the series’ established, laid-back charm. Instead of a high-stakes, dramatic conclusion, the episode offered viewers another delightful “day in the life” of Mukoda and his companions.
The episode opened with the group visiting a bustling fish market, where they enjoyed a variety of seafood dishes. Thanks to Mukoda, Fel, Dora-chan, and Sui having previously bested a giant kraken, the town was flush with freshly caught fish, leading to a grateful populace and an abundance of culinary opportunities. A highlight included Mukoda expertly preparing kraken and vermilion egg okonomiyaki, which was, as expected, devoured with gusto by Fel and the others. The episode also featured a Red Dragon being slain off-screen and stored, and a message from the merchant guild delivered by guild master Markx, hinting at ongoing developments within the world.
Reviewers noted that the finale’s strength lay in its consistency, providing the familiar warmth, humor, and mouth-watering food depictions that define the series. It successfully reiterated why audiences fell in love with Campfire Cooking in the first place, focusing on the simple joys of food and friendship rather than an overly grandiose send-off.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Mukoda’s Culinary Journey
While Season 2 concluded without a cliffhanger, many fans and reviewers are already expressing hopes for a third season to continue Mukoda’s journey and further explore the culinary delights and lighthearted adventures of his absurdly skilled life.
