MAPPA trended recently after reports of the studio working on another big anime. But what is confirmed is that the first MAPPA isekai anime called Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill has an official release date.
After its announcement back in October, MAPPA finally confirmed the January premiere of its upcoming isekai anime via the show’s official Twitter account.
MAPPA's Big Anime Projects
It’s a big meme among the anime community at this point that MAPPA is animating almost every show there is.
While the studio’s output was just a couple of series per year, their yearly projects began increasing around 2019.
MAPPA has also become known for picking up various shows that were initially animated by another studio.
For instance, MAPPA took over animation duties for Attack on Titan: The Final Season and Vinland Saga Season 2. These two shows were originally animated by Wit Studio.
In the meantime, MAPPA has also worked on both original anime and adaptations. Some of their original works include Takt Op. Destiny, Re-Main, and Zombie Land Saga.
Though it’s their adaptations that make them well-known such as Jujutsu Kaisen and the ongoing Fall 2022 anime, Chainsaw Man.
Despite how busy the studio is, there are reports that claim MAPPA will take over animation duties for One Punch Man Season 3.
While not confirmed, many fans hope for this to be true given the high standard of quality MAPPA’s anime have.
Of course, this has also led to a resurgence in discussions about reported unfair labor practices, including overworking staff and low pay.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Anime Release Date
Despite having lots of big shows, the upcoming series Campfire Cooking in Another World is the studio’s first isekai anime series. Though its premise is far from your typical isekai work.
The series follows Tsuyoshi Mukouda who is transported into a fantasy world to help them from a mysterious threat, though he has been summoned by accident.
It turns out that Tsuyoshi’s only skill is "Food Menu," which allows him to purchase food items from modern Japan.
Soon, he uses this skill of his to create delicious dishes, enough that he is able to make a living out of it as a merchant and adventurer.
The series stars Yuuma Uchida as the main character Tsuyoshi Mukouda.
Joining him are Hina Kino as Sui, Satoshi Hino as Feru, and Maaya Uchida as Ninrir.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill premieres on January 10, 2023, at 24:00 JST (technically January 11 at midnight JST).
In Japan, it will stream exclusively on Prime Video and Hikari TV.
Right now, there’s no word yet on when it will be streamed outside Japan.
