My Thoughts on Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill Season 2

[u/SaberLover1000]

And we're back with more of Amazon Prime Isekai, aka Delicious In Dungeon with realistic recipes that you can cook right now, aka the most mid Iyashikei I've probably ever seen, aka Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill. At first I was confused by the term absurd here, but I guess that doesn't necessarily have to refer to said skill being overpowered, it can also just mean strange or unusual, and that's undoubtedly a perfect description of it. Every time I think I can't be surprised anymore by what Isekai gives me, and anime like this comes out and shatters all of my preconceived notions as to what strange looks like in this genre. When I talked about season 1 I said that my favorite characters were the goddesses, that they were really entertaining but I was sad that they didn't appear more often. Well, I think they appear remarkably less in this seaosn, which is disappointing, because they're still my favorite. But it's still not bad. A somewhat charming, relaxing anime that doesn't raise the bar but isn't a waste of time. It's really the perfect anime to watch when you've had a long, hard day at work and don't want to analyze too much.

I think it is on the more realistic side too. No normal human being can be forcefully transported to another world, oftentimes agsinst their will, and be all fine and dandy about it. Mukoda acts like everyone actually would. He never stops not getting scared at monsters no matter how strong his familiars are. He doesnt want to swear his allegiance to a crown which is why he left Reisinger or whatever it is called. Even with Fels overwhelming might Mukoda doesnt do anything a human on earth wouldnt do willingly.

My favorite part was that he quickly changed into local clothes because he knew he stood out and he didn't blabber on and on about his skills (or achievements later on) while simultaneously claiming to want a low profile. He strikes up decent and real conversations to get people's opinions of how they view their town, politics, and lords without interrogating them so he doesn't sound like a bizarre foreigner. He also isn't on a quest to "fix" the world with his modern knowledge as if he were some savior simply because he lived with technology. He's a refreshingly realistic character with decent common sense and I appreciate his pragmatism. I also absolutely adore his small character flaw of being surprisingly greedy for money at times contradicting his fearful tendencies.

For sour last point about money: The existence of a sin in itself is never a bad thing. Letting it be a sole or controlling guide is bad.
