Every episode is different, innovative and in some ways educational and the science aspect of the show was what made this show a 100/100 for me. I didn't get bored for a second and finished the entire show super quickly (can't wait for Stone Wars!!!). I feel like this show is definitely for people who love anything STEM and who are more on the nerdy side, however, I would recommend it to everyone, no matter their level of interest in the sciences and maths. Dr. Stone really puts history and human technological advancement in perspective in a very cool way! I felt I learnt a lot, but rather than the information being shoved down my throat, I felt I was absorbing the information casually while enjoying an amazing show with a great plot, characters and art style.
I'm very picky when it comes to characters in a show - I hate the loud and annoying types. Dr. Stone didn't have a single characters that took away from my enjoyment of the show. Every character's personality is different and engaging and I was invested in each character's storyline. Senku (main character) is probably my favourite protagonist out of any anime I've watched. I find that main characters often get a lot of screen time, as they should, or they have some tragic back story which consequently leads to me getting a bit bored/annoyed of them - an example being Mirdoriya/Deku in BNHA. This was not the case with Dr. Stone! All the side characters were very intriguing as well and a very crucial part of my love for this show. I think there was very little sentimentality, as a result of the main character being very calculating and logical which was an aspect of the show that I really liked. I will admit, I love a good angsty romance but when a show is not meant to be one there is no need for forced
crushes, love, relationships and all that jazz. I think Senku's friendship journey was perfect without any romance in it.
Lastly, I loved the art style. Not only were the characters illustrated beautifully, but the character design (which is more thanks to the manga) is super cool. I was mesmerized by the details in some scenes and the exaggeration of characters’ emotions was very entertaining.
How I give ratings to my anime is I give them a score out of twenty and then multiply it by five to get a score out of one hundred. I then take away one point for every single thing I didn’t like about the show. This was the first show where I had nothing bad to say – not a single thing. I try to be harsh with my critiques because otherwise I’d give every show an incredibly high rating. Despite this, Dr. Stone earned a well-deserved 100.
I definitely recommend to watch this ASAP!
I believe this is a good starting anime for anyone who is only beginning to watch anime.
