I've always wanted to talk about this anime. Unfortunately for me,I always find myself procrastinating. It's annoying how this 'disease' is messing up with my daily living. Still working on getting rid of it forever though. Here's to hoping I actually do.
Alright,so this anime I remember my friend sending it to my hard drive some years ago, around 2022 to be exact. I didn't like how it was looking like so I didn't watch it until 2023,October. I came to realize it was actually very good and I had no idea why I kept on postponing seeing it. Same way,I have no idea how I haven't talked about it here.

Anyways,here we go;
Dr. Stone is the anime of today and it is a wildly entertaining anime that's equal parts science fiction, adventure, and fantasy. The story begins with a mysterious event known as the "Petrification," which turns every human on Earth into stone. Yeah, it's a real thing I guess?
Our protagonist, Senku Ishigami, is a genius high school student who's passionate about science. He's like the anime version of Bill Nye, but with more explosions and less bow ties. Senku is turned into stone along with the rest of humanity, but he manages to survive for over 3,700 years.
When Senku awakens, he finds himself in a world that's been transformed into a lush, green forest. It's like the whole planet decided to become a giant garden, complete with towering trees, sparkling streams, and the occasional wild animal trying to eat Senku's face. He soon discovers that he's not alone, as he meets a strong and agile boy named Taiju Oki. Taiju is like the anime version of The Rock, but with more screaming and less demigod heritage.
As Senku and Taiju work together to revive humanity, they're faced with numerous challenges and obstacles. They have to contend with wild animals, harsh weather conditions, and other stone statues that have been awakened. It's like the whole world is trying to stop them, but Senku's all, "Science, baby!" and Taiju's all, "RAWR, I SMASH!"
Throughout the series, Senku and Taiju meet new characters who join their quest to revive humanity. There's Yuzuriha Ogawa, a skilled warrior with a penchant for dramatic entrances; Suketsune, a cunning and resourceful individual who's always up to something shady; and Ginro, a hot-headed but loyal ally who's always ready to throw down. And let's not forget about Kinro, Ginro's brother, who's basically a human version of a golden retriever – always happy, always eager to please, and always getting into trouble!

As the series progresses, Senku and his friends face off against a group of adversaries who seek to use the petrified humans for their own gain. The group is led by a powerful and ruthless leader named Tsukasa Shishio, who's basically the anime version of a Bond villain – minus the cat, but plus a whole lot of angst and daddy issues. Tsukasa's got a personal vendetta against Senku and his friends, and he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
But here's the thing: Tsukasa's not the only villain in the series. Oh no, there are plenty of other bad people lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. There's Hyoga, the ice-cold assassin with a heart of stone (literally!); and Homura Momiji, the cute but deadly ninja who's always slicing and dicing her way through the forest. And let's not forget about the mysterious "Petrification" event itself, which is slowly revealed to be more complex and sinister than anyone could have imagined.

Overall, Dr. Stone was really entertaining to me. I loved the suspense,the complexity, the engaging and funny characters. It was absolute cinema and I'd rate it a 7/10. It's really good and you should l definitely try it if you haven't.
