This time the written portion of this podcast/newsletter will be a little different from the first three episodes. This time around I’m doing both a review and a commentary discussion about Season 1 of this series.
As you can imagine the commentary portion of the episode will be very spoiler heavy. So if you haven’t watched the anime or read the manga, you will want to stop playing the episode at the 12:37 mark.
The next three episodes will be a continuation of the Dr. Stone series as I cover seasons 2-3 and even discuss the rest of the manga that will be adapted in Season 4. If you don’t want to be spoiled of the other seasons, then I guess I’ll see you guys in episode 8! People who don’t want to be spoiled of Season 4, will want to skip episode 7. With that said, I’ll just write down my general review of the Dr. Stone series over all.
Dr. Stone 101
Dr. Stone is originally a manga series that was published on Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from March 2017 to March 2022. It was later released as 26 tankoban (collected volumes), which have been translated into English and is completely available for purchase in the English Language market. It is also available as an anime series on Crunchyroll. The season 3 finale was released on December 21, 2023. The anime will be concluded with season 4.
The story is a sci-fi series with a post-apocalyptic setting. The story starts in 2019 when a mysterious green light causes all the humans on Earth to be petrified. It takes 3,700 years for the main protagonist Senku Ishigami to be freed from stone. He uses his extensive scientific knowledge to try to revive humanity.
Overall I’d highly recommend anyone who enjoys these type of stories to check this out! Check out the episode until the 12:37 mark for the full review.
