Mob Psycho 100 III [9/10]

A series that needs no introduction, Mob Psycho ruled the anime world everytime a new season came out. In 2019 it absolutely shook the crunchyroll anime awards by winning Best Animation against contenders such as Demon Slayer by ufotable, Attack on Titan S3 by Wit Studio, and Vinland Saga also by Wit. (Also won best Opening Sequence, rightfully so)

One of studio Bones magnum Opus', Mob Psycho quickly became a staple for all anime watchers around the world. Originally created by 'One', who is none other than the mind behind one of the biggest series in the industry, One Punch Man. ...

Dr. Stone [9.5/10]
|**SPOILER FREE**|

Do you love science? Action? Adventure?? Are you looking for a beautifully executed shonen series that can successfully tackle all of those genres and more? Look no further than Dr. Stone. Get excited for this unforgettable journey to restore humanity back to it's former glory, or as some might say, former ugliness.

The story of a world petrified in stone for thousands of years, one man breaks free of his stone prison, literally, and immediately begins to use his vast knowledge of science to save humanity. With the help of his old friend, Taiju, Senku little by little begins to work his ... way back to modern technology.

Now that I've established a premise, if you're not already hooked then please continue reading. Personally speaking, Dr. Stone, as a series, is genius. Our story teller, Riichiro Inagaki, known best for his hit sports shonen Eyeshield 21, incorporates real science and experiments into this manga, fact checked by real scientists. Some being so dangerous there have been multiple warnings stressing not to preform anything you see and learn at home. As Senku would say, Exhilarating.

Speaking of exhilarating, the art made by none other than the legendary Boichi made this manga feel alive and unique. For those who don't know much about Boichi's style, he uses heavy realism and detail, sometimes to the point where backgrounds feel like I'm staring at a photograph. Some of Boichi's more famous works include Sun-Ken Rock, Origin, Hotel, as well as 2 One Piece chapter re-tellings drawn in his art style. He is also well known for his previous works in... *ahem* adult manga.

2 brilliant professionals combining to create a magnum opus. There were times I was genuinely laughing from the comedy, times where I feared for certain characters lives, times I was tearing up over unexpected circumstances, and yet there was never a time I found myself bored while reading a single chapter. Some of the inventions Senku and his crew were able to create genuinely had me shocked, especially with the simplicity of the creation. Just when Senku claims they are going to build something insanely difficult and the comedy sets in, we are often treated to a fairly accurate blueprint of a shitty makeshift version of said creation; and the reactions are always priceless.

While I have 9.99 billion percent praise and love for Dr. Stone, the only thing I felt was just shy of 10 billion percent was how rushed the final arc felt. While Senku is often portrayed as too smart for his own good, this arc definitely proved that. (I understand there was expertise and help involved in the final inventions, but it still felt unreal). I wished for just a smidgen more time with our lovely cast of characters, but when it's time to conclude there's nothing I can do but appreciate the time I spent with them. Well done, Dr. Stone, you've definitely earned a permanent spot on my Top Manga of Alltime list. [9.5/10]
