while most of plot is pretty good and engaging this season , I have a feeling that the science aspect is being skipped quite a bit , the didnt bother explain the ship design perfectly and outright skipped the damn engine too! the ship tour was underwhelming and didnt really give us a big picture of how things tick in it , which let me remind you was a huge part of season1.

Honestly, I think it's fine if they do chill a bit with the science aspect, albeit being a fan of their great elaborations of their inferences and solutions, the show still needs to remember they still have a story to follow up with.

That's one of its core plotlines, but keep in mind that Dr. Stone is still an adventure anime, so they have to explore things even if some of them may not have anything to do with Science.

That's what's bumming me out about this current season & the previous season. Look the plot is cool & all but for me the main selling point of Dr. Stone is the step by step science aspect. It was unique & refreshing to watch. That's what made season 1 great. I get it tbh if they showed all the steps of making the thing then this show will drag on forever & will lose a lot of audience but still I wish they balance it a little. Make room for more science.

Honestly, I've been thinking the same thing throughout the entire season. Season 3 is still good, don't get me wrong, but it feels like everything that made Dr. Stone so fun and unique is gone. The complex explanations of the science behind every re-invention, the effort put into the gathering of resources and building each individual part in order to construct ever greater items - there's none of that anymore. It's always had a bit of adventure to it, but now it's just another (imo) fairly generic adventure series with a mystery that seems impossible to explain scientifically. Granted I haven't read the manga so I don't know how everything gets resolved, so my opinions might change, but these are my thoughts at the moment.

I do not understand this criticism. You say, you get it that if they show you all of the steps of making things, the show would drag on… but you have to remember our own human civilization and our connection to the technology we make. What took humans 50,000 years of studying science, Senku did in one season. As for the last 2 season, it took humans only 200 years and majority of it just stacking what they invented already on top of what they made only 2 years ago in their time.

When Senku breaks down the steps there is always an ingredient or a device that took senku and the group 5 episodes or more episodes just to do, just like how our own existence took us 50,000 years and now it’s readily quick and easy. I empathize with peoples criticism only if I reverse the science with adventure… 1000’s of years ago there were unknowns and a sense of adventure but nowadays we have GPS… radars… YouTube videos… people already done those things and so adventuring today isn’t what it used to be… take that an apply that to DrStone, where they are at in the story their science is so good that all they need is rare materials just to create inventions that’ll help them in their journey… the science is mostly all done.

In conclusion, Dr. stone is a battle shonen at its core… always have been, and science is just a power system. With individual people having absurd abilities to go superhuman in their particular craft. Tsukasa can break a lions neck, senku has perfect memory, Gen’s mentalists abilities is completely out of whack… etc… Kaseki can build ANYTHING with inhuman speed. It’s a battle shonen…

Don’t get me wrong I’m still enjoying this series so far but I kinda enjoyed the first season a lot more for this reason. & I get it it’s a battle shounen so suspension of disbelief is a given.

I understand, but the idea that the science aspect is being skipped is untrue, they’re just recycling the same inventions that they used the 1st season. But right now, they need the petrification device to save Tsukasa. Rebuilding civilization is still the main goal for senku and getting platinum is a huge step for the revival fluid. Unfortunately good writing requires conflict and obstacles, they can’t go back to the science aspect of building civilization until they take care the antagonists in the island.

I think people are missing the fact that the events of this season will lead to a shift in how science is applied in the story. Up to this point Senku has been recreating the scientific knowledge from the past, and while some applications were original, nothing Senku has shown is unprecedented. But now that they have come to face the petrifying light, there is need for new scientific knowledge. This is something that will require Senku to conduct research and develop new knowledge regarding that light and its workings. Such research should take a while, which means there will be less time dedicated to bring back all that scientific knowledge and explain it in such detail.

The fact that the science and educational parts are taking such a backseat to the plot is why I think this is the weakest season of the show.

Dr. Stone is starting to lose what made it so unique and instead, it's becoming like any other shonen anime
