Dr. Stone: Stone Wars

Senkuu has made it his goal to bring back two million years of human achievement and revive the entirety of those turned to statues. However, one man stands in his way: Tsukasa Shishiou, who believes that only the fittest of those petrified should be revived.

As the snow melts and spring approaches, Senkuu and his allies in Ishigami Village finish the preparations for their attack on the Tsukasa Empire. With a reinvented cell phone model now at their disposal, the Kingdom of Science is ready to launch its newest scheme to recruit the sizable numbers of Tsukasa's army to their side. However, it is a race against time; for every day the Kingdom of Science spends perfecting their inventions, the empire rapidly grows in number.

Reuniting with old friends and gaining new allies, Senkuu and the Kingdom of Science must stop Tsukasa's forces in order to fulfill their goal of restoring humanity and all its creations. With the two sides each in pursuit of their ideal world, the Stone Wars have now begun!

Dr. Stone is back and it just keeps going strong. I said about the first season that it's one of those rare gems where there's nothing to complain about and it seems this is how the whole series is shaping up to be. Music to my ears personally, because this is quickly becoming one of the most engaging and fun anime stories I've ever seen. But before we progress science further, we must defeat an ambiguously gay muscular communist and his definitely gay eugenicist boyfriend. Let's go!

The way the Science Team progress through the technologies continues to be incredibly exciting. I also love Senku's bold ... approach where he just goes "nah, fuck it" and skips like 200 levels on the tech tree to make something super advanced directly. And with enough effort and intelligence, it works out. Seeing everyone work together is pure pleasure and the high stakes and narrow time limit add tension to the whole ordeal. As things go on, we are introduced to more and more new characters but despite this, the mantra that all of them are amazingly deep and engaging and also have magnificent chemistry with each other holds incredibly true. It's a true testament to writing prowess that you can have a cast this large where nobody feels redundant or forgotten about and all interaction between any combination of characters is consistently fun.

Dr. Stone is a Shonen Jump property, but honestly it doesn't feel like one and I mean that in a good way. As the name of the season tells you, this is a war arc and it ends in a predictably epic mass confrontation between everyone involved that is sufficiently epic and bombastic. And while there's more than enough hand-to-hand clashes to go around, you'd expect the big fight to end a war arc to have a lot more punch fighting and stuff, but this isn't the case. This is a huge part of what sets Dr. Stone apart - the battles are won more by wits, quick thinking and teamwork. In that sense, this war feels a lot more like a real one as it holds true that preparation and strategy have much more impact on the outcome than individual strength or pure numbers do. Even so, when the characters do square off in straight up fights, the action is stellar as always. The last few episodes were pure gas and gave us many iconic moments.

Overall, Dr. Stone started strong and is only getting better. I won't go into more detail because it's just not necessary. There's so much to love here and there's something for everyone. You're doing yourself a disservice by ignoring it. I'm ten billion percent sure you'll enjoy it, so jump in now!

Mixed Feelings

5.5/10
If you have made it this far you know what the show is all about. I think there was a bit of a decline of the show with this season, but its all still watchable junk food. I think this show was a bit of an improvement as the worst 2 charecters: Yuzuriha and Taiju (the worst charecters) are not as much as a focus as much as they were in the beginning of season 1. With the focus change and the lore established the show has a bit of breathing room for its shenanigans. The show is a bit better, but if you couldnt ... get through the first season then you wont get through this one. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I must say this anime is not bad. But I'm little bit disapointed... I can't say that the anime is boring but it's only entertaining. I really like the first season and the second seemed to be good as well. So I'll say what's wrong with this anime.

It keeps repeating in many alternation 2 things:
1) Science is the best and deal with it!
2) Killing people and dying people is unacceptable!

Those two messages are not correct. It's too optimistic and science can't do anything. I must also say that there that this anime is quite original as UTOPIA. There is no way that someone could die ... or Senku would did something that he would really regret because he miscounted and wasn't lucky...

The characters are good but they are fairytale-like - even if someone si bad and evil he has his reason and actually he has a good heart. I don't like this kind of characters because they are not real - they are flat. I miss that the good ones have almost no flaws and the "evil" ones are so bad and in the end they will correct themselves and everyone will be happy after that. It misses the whole point of being happy or being sad. You're happy because you felt so much pain and also did so many mistakes that teach you a great lesson. But then something wonderful happened... People in real life mostly envy from each other and sometimes are selfish and proud because of their ego. But here? Everybody is so good and has no big flaws... I love depth of characters and all colours but this anime has only colours of an rainbow.

Soundtrack - I don't remember much music in it and OP & EN haven't striked my attention. First season has an epic OP.

Overall: It is a good UTOPIA - everything will eventually turn out nice and everybody somehow find the right way... Science is the best and killing is bad! That's what it is. Science is logical and it's not made up. Senku is clever and does a good job. The episodes are fast paced and you won't get bored. Also animation is nice. But at least for me, this is not enough for a good anime... I think it could be better, there haven't been made any progress from season 1 and now, this is only half of season 2.
