What's so Great About Dr. Stone - Bill Nye the Apocalypse Guy 

Doctor Stone: *Fight Scene* Me: Neat Doctor Stone: *Makes a lightbulb* Me: OHH YEAHHH

Dr.Stone: one of the few shounen anime where the fight scenes are still frames while the studio blows all their budget on animating cotton candy and everyone encourages it.

Senku: Sure, chicks are cool. But take a look at this kick ass rock I found!

Finally an anime that doesn't treat science as a curse.

“Our brains are much better at remembering stories we’ve been told than isolated facts.” Isn’t that the reason Senku’s dad & co. threw together a bunch of folktales to trick future generations into knowing important things?

Dr. Stone: The shonen anime where EVERY arc is a training arc.

“Our brains are much better at remembering stories we’ve been told than isolated facts.” i'll have you know that i have never once forgotten that the mitochondria is the power house of the cell.

We not gon talk about how chrome made Increadable scientific technological advances with out knowing what they are Just because they have been done before doesn’t make it less impressive HE HAD NO IDEA WHO THEY WERE

Dr Stone..the anime where id rather see him do science stuff than fighting.

Every time that there's a fight in Dr. Stone I'm like: "Boo! Go back to making glass!"

Senku is the guy who finished the game and went back to the beginning area

Me: explaining how cellphone work/made Mom: how did you know this stuff Me: Anime

tsukasa's motivation is literally "ok boomer"

“It’s something I can 1 million percent get behind,” a missed opportunity to say, “It’s something I can Ten Billion Percent get behind.”!

I'm a high school teacher and knew one student who was really passionate about math and science but didn't watch much anime. I recommended Dr.Stone to him immediately and he loved it.

I love senku, he is extremely smart, but doesn't fall into the 'depressed cause he is so smart' trope. I just love how he acts so mature but also dies things that are so.... teenager, like how he thinks his dad is kinda lame and cringy. I also absolutely loved the emotional scenes. Ugh, dr stone is just too good.

"Without the moral guilt of rooting for an actual monster." *Eren Jaeger fans collectively sweat*

I love how Senku doesn't shy away from failure. Science is presented as failing over and over again until you can do it correctly, which is great message and works really nicely into Senku's character.

“How many others anime actually inspired people to do real world action” Well Kaiji inspired me to becoming a gambling addict so...

Simps: donate all they're money to a girl Senku: divorces one within a minute

When Senku tells Kohaku that her carrying hot water for her sister’s baths for years actually did help keep her sister alive I broke down in tears. I hadn’t realized I was attached to the characters until that moment.

Daily reminder that the series is name after a soap

Personally the thing I like best is how incredibly optimistic the series is. It says “look at all these awesome things people have made to make their lives better, let’s bring them back”

One thing I like is finally characters who need glasses that- while they clearly do have their struggles and obviously NEED glasses- aren't like played off as being blind as shit without out them. I.e aren't the stereo typical 'oh no I dropped my glasses and my eyesight is so bad I can't see where they were dropped.'

13:32 "I can one million percent get behind." Senku: "I'm ten billion percent sure you missed an opportunity here."

As a geologist major, the mineral scene in Chrome's shack touched my soul in a way no other piece of media has.

One of my favorite aspects of Dr. Stone is how many of the "heroes" would pretty much be straight-up villains in almost any other series. Senku is a classic example. Everything, from his design, to his mannerisms downright screams "I'm an evil mad scientist!" He's go that superior sneer down pat, and his laughter is downright maniacal. Yet, at the same time, he's also a genuinely heroic individual. Then there's Gen, a master of lies and deception, who also rocks a downright villainous appearance, but winds up a staunch ally of Senku's. Later arcs not yet animated (spoilers) give us the likes of Ryusui, the greediest man in the world who, nonetheless, is portrayed in a wholly heroic light, with his greed being displayed as a genuine asset, and not the flaw a character in nearly any other anime would need to overcome. While you comment on how Senku's goal of saving all of humanity is centered around his selfishness, much of that seeming selfishness is actually a smokescreen to hide Senku's more altruistic side. The classic example is that, even though he knew it was gonna get him killed, he still, rather quickly, opted to spill the secret of the revival formula to Tsukasa, when Yuzuriha's life was in the balance, something Tsukasa understands and exploits. It shows that, deep down, beneath his stated interest in restoring society to a point where he can make it into space, Senku actually cares quite deeply about people, and his desire to revive everyone is as much a matter of principle as it is about fulfilling his own desires.

My favorite fantasy stories are the ones where the mechanics and fantasy elements are finely explained and blend with each other to create a realistic-looking puzzle, where each fascinating element has its purpose. This might sound stupid, but Dr. Stone made me realize that the best fantasy world... is the one based purely on the mechanics of OUR world. Science is basically the most coherent and well-explained magic.

"10000 years after that first one" It's 3700 though...

Hey, an archaeologist here! One other thing that I like about the show, beyond the science, is the archaeology themes! There aren't a whole lot and some are... not always presented in the best, most accurate manner, but its really cool to see them talk about stone tools and more simple technologies as the building blocks for scientific advancement! I can tell that the author really put in a lot of research into the archaeology as well. I laughed in the scene where Senku had trouble making a chert spear point because it is NOT easy to do! I really like how the show doesn't make all the things that Senku and crew does look easy or quick at all, which is super interesting because you can really see the hard work that goes into creating these things. Overall, I'm just having a great time with the show!

Gen is such a unique character. I love him so much

Lets appreciate the fact that Senku’s father introduced the concept of memes into the stone age 😂

It's just really fun to see someone using science and progress to crush his enemies and make pasta.

For all the fun stuff in Dr Stone one of my favourite little things about it is the sense of *hope* it always has. There's this real optimism about the world and science. How, even if the worst comes to the worst and Senku is killed, there'll eventually be another person like Chrome who is so curious about the world and everything in it that they'll rediscover science by themselves. It'll take time, sure, but no matter what happens humanity *will* rebuild. It's so refreshing at a time when most other media seems to be reflecting a bleak or gritty outlook on life.

"Attainable" he says. It's easy, just start by counting EVERY SINGLE SECOND in 3,700 years.

Chrome: Look at this stone it can point to north! Everyone: Sorcery! Senku:

As someone who pursued Science and failed. I love how honest about Science the show is. Science is hardwork, slow, full of constant failures and requires passion and persistence. So much of the things that inspired my interest in science did not stress this, and I went to college for something that I don't have the temperament for. Science is wonderful, and I wish i had the temperament for it, but i think its important to be honest about the negatives and positives of a career, and Dr. Stone shows both sides beautifully

I actually disagree a bit with your statement that Senku only helps people because it is the fastest way to get them on his side. I think he wants people to think that, but there are plenty of moments that show he really does care about his friends. Things like when he take Suika to the sunflower field and making Gen the bottle of cola. Also, everyone knows Kohaku is only second, Ginro is true best girl.

Of course we love DR. stone, after all it's just Minecraft: the anime

Dr stone: is scientifically accurate (mostly) Also Dr Stone: village founded by 6 people survived for 3700 years

The great thing about senku's character is that he's actually a really great guy, and the mad scientist manipulative ploter part of him is only secondary.. he is hiding his genuine kind nature and pretending its just «for strategy» when he cares about his friends more than about any kind of science. Spoiler for the last episode of the anime! When he gives homura cotton candy, he just pretends it is to distract her attention, in fact, like ruri says, it's just to share his proud accomplishement to a lonely girl.

I have actually done a crap load of research into actual scientific processes just because watching this anime made me curious of how they are doing things and if it is realistic or it can actually be done as it is shown the anime. Which has actually imparted more knowledge into me than my science classes in school and I am actually retaining the information because I am invested in the story. lol

Senku could easily be an overpowered antagonist with his manipulative and psychotic behaviour lmao

I literally teared up when Lillian's song played at the last episode. Chills man!

I also had tears in my eyes once Suika was able to see through the glasses Senku made for her. That was a very heartwarming and sweet moment. Suika is adorable and Kohaku is definitely best girl.

As a scientist/engineer, I can’t stop grinning when watching this show

Dr. Stone has showed me that girls who are good at pumping air into a furnace are the best girls.

What I really love about Dr. Stone is 1. Reactions. When Senku said he'll reeinvent something, the 21st century people will say "YOU CAN DO THAT NOW?" and 38th century people will say "WTF IS THAT?" They're surprisingly not boring even though it's repeated quite often. Not to mention Ryusui is the only one who's excited instead of questioning it lol 2. Emotional moments. Things as simple as Suika getting glasses, first artificial light, Gen drinking cola to heavily sad Byakuya's story and more, are well executed 3. Yuzuriha best girl 4. The mind game during the fights is very thrilling. I think it's executed better in the manga than the anime. 5. I love Inagaki's storytelling style, which I also love when he did Eyeshield 21 the manga. Also love the theme of building civilization from scratch and tech up. It's like I'm watching/reading a story of Sid Meier's Civilization & Factorio 6. I love science 7. Did I say Yuzuriha best girl? Well, yeah she is, but Kohaku is also best girl

“What’s so great about Dr. Stone” Clearly only someone with the intellect levels of 10 billion percent can answer that question.

Suika getting glasses was the moment I went from enjoying dr stone to it being one of my absolute favorites. And yes, I also cried at that moment.

As a scientist I ADORE thus show, it is so wholesome and entusiastic about the scientific method T.T And I love how they take MONTHS to do anything and how they show both the theoricians and the tecnicians. I think it teaches more about science as a while than any discovery in particular.

0:12 am 10 billion percent sure its around 3.7k years

I’d argue it’s “post-historic”

I live in a town and region famous for its glasswork. I loved the ep when they made glass because it was so beautiful and accurate. The melted glass acted just the way it does in real life and it made me so happy to see. It was obvious that the team had researched the topic well and gotten some hands on experience. I blew glass for the first time when I was 5 years old (with assistance of course) and I have watched the glassworkers blow glass hundreds upon hundreds hours, and it still mesmerize me to this day. If any of you ever have an opportunity to see it for yourself, do it! The skill and craftmanship is amazing.

13:32 missed opportunity, he could have said "ten billion percent"

“ brought tears to by barely functional eyes.” 😂👌🏽 I felt that one .

In a time where science denial and cult-like anti-intellectualism is at an all time high, a show like Dr. Stone is worth more than it's weight in gold.

"Ten thousand years..." 3700. Senku counted.

I am ten billion percent with you when it comes to Suika seeing for the first time. I literally cannot watch either the moment she gets her glasses or the one where Senku tells her about them without crying my eyes out, and I've already rewatched the first season alone 5 times. Also, Dr Stone has in my opinion the best gag ever. Ginro's "Special Technique: Let Someone Else Handle It," is the single funniest line of dialogue I've heard in my entire life and caused me to straight up snort laugh for three minutes straight, and I've not exaggerating at all.

I definitely cried during episode 24 and just now (because of this video) I rewatched the "Suika gets glasses" scene again and, sure enough, it also made me cry. This series has absolutely beautiful moments.

Dr. stone women be like: .______________.

My favorite thing about Dr. Stone is that they actually logically explain everything that is pretty much headcanon for most other anime; *For example they used the word "Meme" in one of the most recent episodes but they actually explained why the characters would know that word despite the petrification.* Of course, they actually use real science as well.

senku did not just want to store modern civilizaition just so he could go to space, he has shown consistently he cares a lot for his friends. The best example of this is when he agreed to tsukasa's request for the revival formula in order for yuzuriha to be saved.

School: -Boring -Bad at teaching -Bad education -Costly -Feels like prison -Homeworks Dr. stone: -Fun -Actually teaches you -Learning usefull facts -Free -Feels like a happy dream -No homeworks -Anime

I love senku as an MC. He’s so tangible for me because I honestly operate in much the same way. I’m nice to people and make friends and help people, not because I have some overwhelming drive to or because I’m just an absolute angel, but because it benefits all of us and I’m willing to work with others and make everyone around me happy to achieve greater goals. Does it make me shallow? No, i just have a more logical approach to things and that’s perfectly ok. I also love how he didn’t go the opposite route of evil genius with literally no emotion or regard for others because again, there’s no benefit to being a callous asshole. Being helpful and nice benefits everyone and even the most intelligent geniuses are human; they make mistakes and can only get so far without the help of others.

The biggest thing in Dr. Stone imo it's how Science is represented. Apart from the issue of "trail and error" (already quoted by someone else) there is this clear explanation of how Senku can do all these things because he know them, not because he is just a genius. Being a genius is a thing for sure, but it doesn't make you magically learn all the knowledge of mankind randomly. And I LOVE the fact that this is clearly shown in the backstory of lil' Senku being encouranged and supported by his dad, who is, after all, another man of science. Said so, I see the point about showing the modern world as too positive but... yeah, that's the issue. It is INCREDIBLY positive compared to how our ancestors lived. There is absolutely no good reason to want to get back to bashing animals with a pointy stick to get food unless you are someone like Tsukasa. We live in an incredible time for mankind where progress keeps on going faster and faster due to the infrastructures and resources we can use. It took the entire human history to develop a steam engine and some time later, in less than 70 years, we went from the first plane to being capable of leaving this planet and reach the Moon. Another half of century and we have a stable base in space and the project of connecting computers around universities became the enormous Internet we know today. But we aren't special, we just happen to live in these conditions. We are like dwarves sitting on a mountain of books left by other dwarves, writing even more books for the dwarves of the future, that with our effort will be capable of going higher than us. If we arrived at this with 200 years of time, who can say what we can accomplish in the next 200 years? I have lots of possible critics to give about our modern world, but this doesn't change the fact that on the scientific side of things we are going always towards a greater future for our species. If we can avoid politics and economical interests to fuck up the world before we can do way more than going to space. Senku is the human personification of this method, this knowledge and this ideal.

I never thought a bottle of coke could give me chills but there you go

"What's so great about doctor stone" Me:everything

"Brought tears to my barely functioning eyes" lmaoooo same

After Tsukasa showed up this really became ok boomer: the anime

Literally rewatched this show over a dozen times, and this is the first time I noticed the Banana Phone (13:40).

I've been in love with Boichi's manga drawing style since 3-4 years ago when he made Sun Ken Rock, the protagonist have even the same hairstyle, soo when i saw Dr. Stone i was like "Ohh that's boichi new project"

I am ten billion percent sure that the opening could inspire anyone to say ohayosekai every morning.

As someone who has had a lifelong passion for science and is planning to become a professional physicist, one of the coolest parts of the series to me is that I already know so much of the science that it's plausible that if I didn't have other hobbies distracting me, I could have learned all of the stuff Senku knows by that age. I feel like some of the potential message of the show is lost by Senku being a super-genius, since so much of this stuff is within reach even for normal people if they put in the same sort of effort he did.

I want to make each of the things they make in Dr Stone in order. That sounds epic. Except maybe gunpowder. Maybe.

I think one of the most refreshing aspects of Senku as the main protagonist, and indeed one of the most important quality of science that it highlights, is the fact that he as a single person can't and doesn't do anything by himself. He realises his (very significant) limitations, recruits others, utilise their potentials, so he can collaborate with them and achieve a common goal that can ultimately benefit everyone.

I really love Dr. Stone because I'm a Materials Science Engineering major, and I've studied/actually researched most of the materials and concepts the show introduces! For example, the "Miracle fluid" used to revive people is specifically Nital, and I actually use Nital etch to examine microscopic grain boundaries in metal samples in my lab! And the show specifically mentioned its use in exposing ferrite grain boundaries! (episode 1 17:20) [Ferrite is a phase of iron, or specific crystal structure that iron can adopt. It's also known as α iron, and its low carbon solubility makes it very important when you make steel, which requires dissolving carbon into iron!] It's just really exciting to see all the little things that I've devoted my studies/career to being given the limelight, you know? Most of the time, 'what something's made of' just gets kind of hand-waved over, but this series really takes the time to explore and justify all the little parts of its world and our own!

As a science student I haven't been this hyped with an anime since HxH , I study chemistry and I can affirm as long as I know what they do in the show really work and it has saved me with my homework once or twice( chemists are obsessed with making soap for some reason 😂). Saponification is a really important type of reaction for anyone that is getting into chemistry so take ur notes kids because it might save u one day too 😜

8:30 I love how what he said here becomes a very important part in the story since His father told stories to their children and grandchildren, who became the primitives Senku and others found, about things that he believes would help Senku in the future. If he had told them just facts, then they might forget it, but by framing it as stories and fables, and by trusting Senku to realize the meaning behind those, his stories lasted for generations.

I love the science and Dr. stone. The only real flaw that I could find is the fact that they completely ignore how human genetics work. Six people couldn’t have enough kids that were genetically diverse enough to last more than two or three generations. By the time there great grandchildren were born everyone alive would be too closely related to have anymore children without major birth defects. But that’s literally the only plot hole I could reasonably find it’s a great anime.

Can we just appreciate how much Geoff has been putting out recently?

Makes you really appreciate the normal technology we take for granted

The second OP for Dr. Stone is the best OP for any anime ever. Change my mind.

Dr. Stone made me appreciate science and what scientists have accomplished in a way I never had before. The scene where Senku creates light for the first time felt like such an epic moment, and there are so many scenes like that in this show that reminds you of all the amazing things that humanity has accomplished. This show makes me want to do something that helps make the world a better place and, maybe more importantly, it makes me feel like I can. Also, I learned how to move water from one container to another using a tube. Most of the stuff in Dr. Stone isn’t safe to try at home, but It was pretty cool to try be able to that out and see that it actually works.

As a guy with eye problems and a dangerous hang up on space and science... This anime is the one that has made me cry the most. It hits WAY to close to my heart, personal experiences and struggles.

Knowledge is power! Quite literally, in this series!

There's one thing you forgot to mention: The soundtrack is STRAIGHT. FIRE.

I love how the anime isn't predictable, like- *SPOILER* -when they were making the cellphone, you would assume they would finish it like their other projects, but when they were missing an ingredient, Senku just accepts that they cant make cellphones and was willing to move on, and although they did solve the conflict, it was still amazing how they carried that problem, making you feel the disappointment as if you were making the cellphone.

You know that moment when Senku asked Chrome if he was afraid of the dark, and then very epically "defeated darkness with the power of science"? Yeah, that's my favorite anime moment of the year. Yes, I liked it even more than (or at least equally as much as) episode 19 of Kimetsu no Yaiba

Sid Meier's Civilization: the Anime

Other than Mob Psycho, this is one of the only anime that I’ve been dying to watch

This is straight up a series which is exactly what I've always wanted without realising. I used to grow up playing on the trampoline in my garden and day-dreaming Just day-dreaming for others about how people would rebuild and create societies in the wild from scratch So like how castaways would scrounge for resources and survive, or how miniature magic woodland creatures would build their homes and towns from the woodland environment I love characters studies and stories, but I would spend just as much time in my day dreams working out how all my characters would live, as much as what they did in some kind of plotline I'd think about the logistics of carving a home for a miniature creature out of a pumpkin, and what their furniture and interior would be made of and all their tools I just loved this shit so much and it didn't have to be in a fantasy setting to be interesting, because the way mankind learnt to tame nature and progress technology in the first place is genius and an outstanding feat that's amazing to pull off The argument of our entire concept of morality and ethics existing because it facilitates are survival is also a strong philosophical belief of mine. Trying to work out what purpose a sense of morality has for humans when you don't belief in a higher being, always comes back to the fact it allows us to live in societies, and living within societies is one of the fundamental survival tactics for the human race To have empathy and a sense of "right and wrong" allows us to live in groups and have incentive to care for the well-being of others By ensuring that all those in your society are safe, protected and have intrinsic value, you ensure that you yourself are also safe, protected and have intrinsic value By giving the lives of others security, you also gain it for yourself, and that's why morality and co existing is so important to us as a whole

Also: the soundtrack is straight 🔥 🔥 🔥

Suika is the cutest character this season.

My two theories about everyone getting turned to stone are one: God's save file got corrupted again and he had to reset it. Or two: Galeem wasn't to happy and went super saiyan. It is either one because that is what it looked like.

The episode where there show senku's father story after what happened nearly made me cry.

I heard that the algorithm thinks Dr. Stone is great as well.

It's just a rock solid show

I never thought I will get a goosebump while watching a bulb Making scene

your script writer is very good. felt smooth and flawless the way you spoke and what you said. very nice.
