"What is a good character nowdays?"

"Well, it's one that's dynamic."

...

"okay, I don't see any way to change this character, can we just kill her and make a new one?"

"Yeah and such an dramatic turn of events will drastically effect the other characters as well."

... "Then let's just stow all character developement into 10 seconds (combined) in one episode, the "sudden action" and "realization", then we don't have to go through it for the later episodes to come"

"Sounds great"

MyAnimelist ranking: "This is a good watch"

...

This show had an ineresting plot point, but failed to execute it, and they can't fix that and it won't change.

I will brake this review up into two parts; volume 1-4 and volme 5-8 due to big differences.

Part 1: Volume 1-4:

The first part of 7th garden were a little lacking in both story and character design, it can be unclear what is going on sometimes and the art (which geniunely is amazing) is only 8/10 since it could be hard to follow the action scenes properly.

the story is not too well presented and does not give you too much of what actually happened before, why what is happening is happening. So in the first volumes it could feel a little off watching a person fight, ... like it were for nothing. The story here was 6/10, faily good.

The art is amazing, sometimes directly stunning, i love this series so much due to it's art, the only downfall is that the action scenes could be a little hard to follow with your eyes and mind. 8/10, very good!

In the first part (vol. 1-4) there isn't much of character design, no backstory nor future, basically only barging straight ahead, while we, the readers can be left behind with confusion. The charcters itself are a real hit, though. The main characters looks awesome, cool, sexy and arrogant, which I love, 7.5/10!

The overall enjoyment of this part (vol. 1-4) was 7/10 and I personally feel that's good enough becuase there is it's own charm in not knowing anything from characters and story, it's only when i look over it, that it looks worse than it is, 7/10 is a good amount of enjoyment for me!

So overall It's going down with 7/10 with part 1, what is needed next is: more backstory and a clearer goal, a little easier art in the battle scenes and some real character design!


Part 2: Volume 5-8:

The second part is really interesting, i can tell you that if you came through with the first 4 volumes i can guarantee you a series in top form and few misstakes, since, book 5-8 contains everything that we needed in order to get everything down and understand, take part of the story and live within the characters!

The story becomes clear after volume 5, where basically the whole volume is the backstory to our main protagonist: Awyn Gardener. We now understand a lot more of what is going on, why he's doing things as he is and who he actually is. Later on in volume 7 and 8 you will get to know the character Vyrde, our lovely demon. we get to know why ''they'' did it and her backstory as well as clearing up her goal and understand why she needs to fullfill it! The stroy overall goes from 6/10 to 9/10 with a rapid increasing story!

The art haven't changed much at all, still lovely as it is, but, they did fix the 1 error, it's not confusing between fight scenes anymore. This is enough to change my mind from 8/10 to 9/10, since it's no unique artsyle that won't change. The art is really good and giving proportions to everything that's going on, no picture is put less love in so eveyone is perfectly awesome!

The character design as i said; we get to know backstory to the characters which also is a big part of the understanding of the whole plot, story. The characters goes from ''I don't really care if you die'' to ''I will die with you!'' in your mind and it can become emotional. The character design is 10/10 of the second part as a whole, lovely created!

So, to ble honest i loved this part, book 5-8. I loved it so much I couldn't stop reading even after how much I tried to stop, the enjoyment was totally 10/10 and I will never forget this book series!

Overall, part 2 was amazing, completely amazing and i will give it a 9/10 with almoast nothing to complain about, just some small things here and there, lovely!


Overall story is 9/10 and is fulfilling everything a good story should fulfill!

The art IS perfect, only lacking a unique artsyle, that's it. 9/10

The character design is 9/10 since it could be partly presented better in the first part (vol. 1-4)

The enjoyment is also top rated, if it weren't for part one beeing a little off i would surely rate it 10/10. 9/10 on enjoyment!

The overall, total score is 9/10 since i'm perfectly fine with getting everything late, rather than never.


Read this series through, right now i'm waiting for book 9 (which is currently paused) and if i'm gonna give you a tip that would be; get past the fist part (vol. 1-4) and you will definitely love it, mabye as much as I do!



Note: The series changesfrom T+ (teen+ = 16 yr's old) to M (Mature = 18 yr's old), between volume 4 and 5.

Note: Wifu material

Note: I bought this on sale and I don't know if I would have continued otherwise, if I knew how good it was, i would have done it in the end anyway!

A stone world where the whole world has been turned to stone, Senku was the first unpetrified human on earth after a long, long time...

Already from the beginning I could see the potential of this show and it was a joy in every way to watch through!

So, starting with the good stuff I can first of mention the art style:
The art style is not only a perfect copy from the manga but as well the most fitting artstyle I've ever seen! With these thicc lines and shapes it truly gives you the expression of ''Dr. Stone''! 10/10

The story was really, really good, I mean.. a ... masterpiece, both backstory and ongoing story. Humans was turned to stone, how many conspiracy theories could come out of that? What ideas does that give the watcher?? It's an open mystery were everything could be right, and the fans can enjoy to the fullest to talk with their friends about it! 10/10

The sound, the soundtrack... the soundtrack is so good I don't even need the video itself to cry (for real)! For me the music, voice actors and effects are really, really important and this show gives me exactly what I need to really get invested! Also.. the music fits soo good to the series, basically, motivational stone age music! Couldn't have been done better! 10/10

The characters is really good designed, the only thing lacking would be some creativity but all in all it's lovely! The characters really fits the voice actors and there is Characters (in the series) that i've never seen anything like! 9/10

Sience! Could there be a better theme? It's literary so good that it motevates me to study for all my might when i watch this, building, finding materials and using mathematical theories and base the whole series on that! Awesome!! I really enjoyed my time with Dr. Stone and when those epic moments come, music and story together, I can't really do anything else than feel the biggest chills streaming around my body as well as tears! I will never forget this masterpiece of a anime! Enjoyment: 9/|10


Negative notes:
The only negative was that except the start i was waiting a little (few episodes) to get fully invested, and not too epic (still epic, tho) And that there were especially 1 episode that was directly kinda lame, haha! I Only found sone mistakes in the story but nothing to complain about!

I would recommend watching this before everything else and if you love it, i can even assure you that the manga is legend as well!!

9/10 or.. 93/100 i guess, haha!!

From my perspective that haven't seen bakemonogatari the anime this is not just fairly good, in my opoinion i got a whole lot of enjoyment and wonderful art in one book, and i have never seen anything like it!

When i was reading other really good mangas like death note and uzumaki i got this kinda vibe that only the really good books give you! Bakemonogatari is one of them and with a unique feeling of tension, beautie and horror in one set.

The anime includes therefore:

1. Beautiful art that is 10/10

2. Wonderful story = 9/10 where there isn't any obvious reason for this, just feel like ... it somehow could have been just a little easier to understand, but it's nothing fatal

3. The characters are perfect and one of a kind, 10/10

4. I really enjoyed this but sometimes the explanation and story was a little tricky to understand at first = 9/10

Overall this is a really, really good manga that you should pick up soon since this series has just started out, started out as a lovely piece of art and culture = 9/10

Note: In the future i might consider a 10/10 but i feel i can't do that yet since i've only read one volume!

Note:Bakemonogatari means monster (bake) story (monogatari). And feel the title!!
