CAMPFIRE Collaborates with Fermat's Cooking Anime

In a significant development, CAMPFIRE Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has joined the production committee of the highly anticipated anime adaptation of the manga, "Fermat's Cooking." Known for its pioneering efforts in crowdfunding, CAMPFIRE is set to utilize its established framework of empathy and co-creation to disclose a new funding cycle and cultural creation model within the anime industry. The first project launching this collaboration is the establishment of a premier collaboration restaurant named "Gaku in Cassolo -- A Genius in the Kitchen" through a crowdfunding initiative.

Background of the Collaboration

CAMPFIRE has consistently supported a diverse array of creators and projects, paving the way for innovation in various fields. Producing an anime involves many professionals contributing their skills and passion towards a single project, necessitating a fresh evolution in how funding is acquired as well as the interaction with fans who support such works. The participation in the production committee for "Fermat's Cooking" signifies CAMPFIRE’s challenge to extend the crowdfunding model that directly connects support with creative output into the realm of cultural production in anime.

Details of the Co-Creation Model

The collaboration restaurant between the anime "Fermat's Cooking" and Tokyo’s New Shimbashi restaurant, Cassolo, is in development through a crowdfunding project facilitated by Creek & River Co. on the CAMPFIRE platform. As a restaurant dedicated to nurturing aspiring young chefs, Cassolo’s commitment aligns perfectly with the crowdfunding project, resonating with the storyline of the protagonist, Gaku, who aims to achieve independence by opening his own restaurant.

The collaboration menu will be crafted by ambitious chefs working under the supervision of Chef Kazuhiro Kawamura, owner of the French restaurant ETAPE. The aspirations and relentless challenges of these chefs are synonymous with Gaku’s pursuit of excellence through mathematical thinking in the cooking domain.

This project offers various exclusive perks, such as early reservation tickets, participation in events with voice actors, and limited-edition collaboration merchandise that can only be accessed through the CAMPFIRE platform.
