Dr. STONE

For the first episode, I was happy to see the manga come to life. The animations are quite pleasant and it builds an expectation for viewers. While it can feel underwhelming for some, it is important to note human innovation and technology development throughout most of history was relatively slow. It's only recently we've made rapid advances. As a result, Dr. STONE starts all over in the stone age, so expect a slow brew. But the show hits conflict points and major drivers in the story including significant character development, it will be worth the wait. So far a great start and LOVE the beautiful soundtrack from Tatsuya Kato (composer for Food Wars, Free!, Revue Starlight).

Based off the first episode I can already tell how amazing this anime is going to be. There is so much that goes into this show and I cant wait to see how much more they add. Besides the awesome concept the one thing I personally LOVE about this show that not many shows I have watched take advantage of is the power of time-skips. The amount of content and story progression they can fit into a single episode with out it feeling rushed or drawn out over the course of 12 episodes (DBZ) is amazing. From the first episode you already get such well done story progression and satisfaction and yet it leaves me craving more of it. This show has AMAZING potential.

After 'being reincarnated as a slime' we saw numerous garbage level isekais. Dr. Stone is a completely fresh, new and all around great outlook on the things we already know. OP characters from, you could say, 'another world'. General mix of fresh characters and lore around the show isn't sold short by the animations and interactions. More importantly, the goal of the series remains intact as the story proceeds. A big thank you.

When I first started this show right when it came out, it seemed like an interesting enough concept to warrant watching a few episodes. It does seem slow at first, but it is very deliberate and it tells such a deep story not only about the phenomenon, but it also tells a story about one who overcomes the seemingly impossible through the application of science. It retells the story of how we came to be now technologically -- how through persistence, perseverance, and patience -- science and its building blocks can step by step lead us to a better world. The story of course is post apocalyptic but it is a hopeful, more light hearted sci-fi anime. As you progress through the story it does get better and better and grows in humor while learning about cool science things. I honestly don't care much for sci-fi animes as they are usually just, weird. But this one is an exception. I appreciate how intentional the anime is. It has very good pacing in the story and in taking its time in moments to captivate the audience and help them to appreciate the variety of characters and what they bring to the story. Definitely recommend.
