To claim that Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi, also known as Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, written by novelist Ren Eguchi, is the now-famous studio MAPPA's first-ever Isekai endeavor-that is, that this show is MAPPA's Peak-sekai-is not wholly unfounded. Undoubtedly, as a whole, it's fantastic, and MAPPA DID SUCCESSFULLY showcase a respectable Isekai for the first time.
Tsuyoshi Mukouda, the master chef and cowardly salaryman who is the MC, is called to an other realm. In this episode, Mukohda, equipped with the power of the "Online Supermarket," and the "Hero's Party" organization are set up to assist the kingdom in driving out demons. After persuading the nobility, Mukohda eliminates himself from the Isekai race and gains freedom to travel the fantastical realm.
The opening theme song is standard fare for an Isekai series of this kind. The debut song by Van de Shop, "Anisong," blends in nicely with the seductive imagery and sounds alright. Similarly, Yuuma Uchida's ED song "Happy-go-Journey" sounds ordinary as well, so that's not a problem. To put it mildly, it's merely passable, in my opinion.
Among the many copy-paste Isekai shows this season, Cooking Isekai is a breath of fresh air. Despite not being an OP power fantasy, this program is among the greatest we've seen this season since it's just a campy, carefree look at life.
