[This review will contain Spoilers for the show!]()

Started watching this series cause the premise sounded cool, and my goodness this Anime is so much better than I imagined.

[(SPOILERS AHEAD) STORY:]()
The story focuses on Senkuu Ishigami, a teenage boy who pretty much knows everything.

One day a strange bright green light overtook the sky turning everyone into stone.
3000 years later Senku re-awakens from his petrification, he tasks himself with restoring Humanity to its original status of technological dominance.

Yeah the show does start off with Taiju and Yuzuriha but they only make an appearance for the first few episodes then wonder off.

Senku meets a village, that village is the descendants of the modern Humans. Those above in the ISS haven't been affected by the green light of doom and thus returned to Earth and made a colony, one of the people in the ISS was Byakuya, the father of Senku.
These villagers aren't as advanced as Senku and the rest of the unpetrified gang, they have no access to any sorts of education. Thus they see Senku as some sort of magician at first. Later on they join his Science Kingdom.

Throughout the show Senku explains the science behind each of the experiments he makes, this honestly sold me when it happened. Really cool!

[CHARACTERS:]()
Dr. STONE is filled with many great characters.

Senku - As mentioned before, he pretty much knows everything. He wants to restore humanity to its previous state of technological dominance. Senku is always seen to be calm and collected, even when he burts with anger of inpatience he manages to collect himself rather quickly. There are also many scenes which showcase Senku struggling with either crafting one of his ideas of forgetting a scientific idea. This makes him much more real in my honest opinion. Although Senku does not express it, he cares deeply about his friends. Even about the village people.

Taiju - A friend of Senku, he is more strength orientated. He wants to help and protect Senku and Yuzuriha at all cost. He is a pacifist, he decides to shield all attacks and never retaliate.

Yuzuriha - If I'm to be honest, she is the most basic character. She does want to help Senku with many things but she doesn't really have any set job apart from...well spying on the Tsukasa Empire with Taiju.

Tsukasa - He is "The Strongest High School Primate". Senku and Taiju unpetrified him as to deal with a pack of wild animals.
Tsukasa is smart, calm, and very strong. All these points make him quite a villain. Though Tsukasa is a bit too smart to be a satisfying villain. He knows exactly what Senku is planning to do and where he is going, if the main cast where to surprise him more often and have a more proper fight then that would be ideal but I suppose this is fine, for now. His ideology is quite different than Senku's. He wants to create a world without corrupted adults, and thus started his own faction to achieve that goal.

Gen - One of the petrified people, he used to be a celebrity due to his mentalist capabilities. He was de-petrified by Tsukasa to defeat Senku but once he saw the Science Senku was performing he turned into an ally of the of the Science Kingdom. He is one of the key characters as he was one of the closest people to Tsukasa thus allowing Senku to know more of the opponent ahead.

I'll be now going over the characters present in the Village Senku is taken to by one of the characters, I won't cover all of the characters, only the main crew.

Kohaku - a descendant of the modern Huamn, she is the one who lead Senku to the village, she was in trouble due to a run in with Tsukasa but Senku was able to aid her when she was stuck under a fallen tree. Although Kohaku was cautious of Senku at first, cause you know 3000 years of Human existance in a small circle without proper education and then seeing "Magic" is kind of a shocker. She excells at combat.

Chrome - A science user just like Senku, though because he lacks the necessary education his "science" is that of an 8 year old. But he does have the spirit, Chrome really wants to learn many new things. He even has a rock collection, that rock collection is filled with many precious minerals/materials.

Suika - A child of the village, Suika doesn't really know how to do much but she is good at espionage. Thus allowing Senku to find out stuff about the villagers and allowing smooth transition into the village. Suika is very energetic and wants to help as much as possible. Honestly Suika is too precious for this world.

Kaseki - An old craftsman, he is the sole reason Senku and Chrome have their precious equipment. Kaseki trully loves his craft. He will do anything that seems like a challenge.

There are many more characters in the village but they either don't contribute that much to the story or they join in later on in the series, There is also the fact that I don't want to prolong this portion anymore.

[ART/ANIMATION:]()
Now, this is the thing I had major gripes with. The art style, although good on its own, is nothing compared to the Manga. Yeah I do understand that the more realistic style of the Manga would be difficult to reproduce for a TV format where deadlines are strict. Also the re-arrangment of scenes was also something I did not really like, I noticed it while watching an episode with my Manga open comparing the scenes, I mean the show still flows similarly but it just doesn't feel right.

[MUSIC:]()
Dr. STONE has an amazing OST. Each song fits the olden Stone age and yet they feel modern due to the presence Senku and his crew.

The first OP was a banger, so was the first ED. Could not stop listening to them, but then OP2 and ED2 released and my goodness, they were even better.

[OVERALL OPINION:]()
Dr. STONE sounds fun on paper, and seeing it is even more fun. I loved it, the science, combat, and characters. They all came together to make something to unique. The manga does have the better art style and original scene layout but despite those points the Anime does manage to be very enjoyable.
