Dr. Stone: Science Future

Having resolved the crisis in the Petrification Kingdom, Senkuu and his companions gear up to deal directly with the mastermind behind the petrification phenomenon—who supposedly resides on the moon. The ambitious spaceship project, however, requires immense manpower and critical resources scattered across the world. Thus, the Kingdom of Science exploration team kick-starts its transcontinental journey on the ship Perseus to gather them all.

Equipped with modern technology and bolstered by the new, capable members in their ranks, the exploration team feels confident about setting sail to their first destination: America. They soon realize that the region now hosts adversaries controlling the resources they need, doing so with scientific technology which rivals and even exceeds their own. In a battle of science versus science, Senkuu and his team must outsmart their rivals if they are to have any chance of ensuring the continued survival and rejuvenation of humanity.

This season of Dr. Stone feels different from what we have seen before, but that makes sense since the story keeps progressing in terms of technologies and plot. Senku & friends travel to another continent, America, where they are met with people who have been depetrified. Unfortunately, those people have their own agenda and don't welcome strangers who would only interfere with their objectives. They will launch attacks on our protagonists and a battle between scientists ensues.

The reason Dr. Stone: Science Future feels different is because, to me, it feels like there is less sciences than the previous seasons. At least, not the same sciences ... as we have seen previously. The characters have to survive and defend themselves against technologies they don't yet have. The dynamic of this season is different but it is still as good. A little change is great when it makes sense, which it does here.

That said, this season of Dr. Stone is still as funny as the other ones. I'd even say Senku gets crazier and crazier (in a good Senku way). He always surprises us with his choices and will never give up, no matter what happens to him. That guy loves sciences too much, and he will prove he can and will win.

The plot with Why-man has not been addressed or mentioned in this season but it did not bother me because this is a step they needed to take in order to get closer to that mysterious person. It does not feel like filler as it has a purpose and they need it to be able to make their plan work and to keep progressing and moving forward.

All in all, it was a great season, with lots of funny moments, lots of action, and a few plot twists that were amazing. It gathered everything I loved from the previous seasons, and I had an incredible time. In fact, I had so much fun that it felt like the episodes were shorter. I was not bored once. So, for everything I've just mentioned, it deserves a 10 out of 10.

Thank you, Senku! Sciences is elegant.

Dr. Stone: Science Future — Let's get ready to enter the future of the Stone Age, one cour at a time!

It's been 5.5 years since mangaka Riichiro Inagaki's Dr. Stone started featuring on the small screen, which was one of Weekly Shonen Jump's top performers when it was still in serialization. Still, to this day, the series continues to be even more popular thanks to the anime boosting sales along after the manga reached its conclusion way back in March 2022. That's the staying power of such an influential work that is rarely seen in WSJ's lineup nowadays.

But back to the anime: after the initial ... start and the arcs of Stone Wars and New World, we're finally at Season 4, the endgame of the final arc of the series, where Senku and the gang from the Kingdom of Science, now bigger than ever, traverse outside of Japan for the very first time into international land, sea, and air. Reaching Why-Man is just as important when they hear that he hails from space, but since they don't have the resources to do so, the outside is their only starting point...

as the looming danger greets them of the first antagonist they encounter: former NASA scientist Dr. Xeno Houston Wingfield and someone whom Senku regards as his closest frenemy in terms of incoming trouble thus far. He, along with the few others who make up the American Colony team, is unlike those of Ibara's Petrification Kingdom the season prior, with their high advancement in technology that far outpaces what Senku and the Kingdom of Science have been doing all this while. They will not be an easy feat to overcome, but this is the accumulation of the scenario thus far for the 1st Cour here.

As they say, "Leave the best for last," and this is where TMS Entertainment and Season 3 director Kurasumi Sunayama once again team up to give Dr. Stone the consistent shine that it always has deserved for the last 5 years and more going into the 2nd and 3rd cours as we slowly witness the epic finale to the entire Stone World saga. And when it comes to OP/ED songs, ALI is back with a renewed tour de force of an OP song, and hip-hop boy band BREIMEN's 1st Anisong is a great follow-up to the casino gambling features of the season (most promptly featured in the 1st quarter of the 1st Cour). What more could you ask of Dr. Stone's popularity being as great as it is and willing to expand even more?

This is only the start of the Science Future finale because Dr. Senku is not done with his quest yet to find Why-Man, and so are we anime-onlies too in watching this epic saga unfold for an adventure that's larger than life.

See you in July for the 2nd Cour!

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (9/12 eps)

It's painful to write this as "mixed feelings", but this season of Doctor Stone doesn't live up to the overall quality of the series so far. The main issues here are:

1. Too many filler scenes. For example, the whole first episode of this season is a filler - you wouldn't miss it at all if you were to skip and start from episode 2 onwards. If you pay attention later on, you will notice that a few episodes have only 1 or 2 meaningful events for the plot. Sadly, it feels that they are wasting screentime in order to prolong the story.
2. They are repeating ... the plot from season 1 regarding the villain. I won't say much so I don't spoil it, but the villain this time has the same motivation as Tsukasa Shishio (claiming that his ambitions for the world are different from Senku's, and that's his justification for killing). This is frustrating, as we watch this season expecting something brand new to the story, but we are back to the same type of antagonist.
3. Lack of actual scientific content that is plot-related. We have had too many scenes teaching us how to make cocktails for example, and way less scenes about interesting scientific experiments that are plot-related compared to the previous seasons of Doctor Stone.

I rate it as mixed feeling because of the issues I pointed out, but Doctor Stone is still an amazing anime that is worth to watch. My goal is just to point out that if you are hyped about this season based on the previous Doctor Stone series, then you will probably be disappointed because this one is lacking compared to its antecessors.
