Dr. Stone: Stone Wars - Kaisen Zenya Special Eizou

This recap episode for the first season did a fantastic job at going over the main events of Dr Stone. I wasn't expecting much as recaps in general tend to feel rushed due to it's nature, but with this, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the recap and would probably watch it again.

The pacing was good and most of the important/key scenes were included. The only thing missing was some of the backstory events, but we see visual references of that anyway.

The recap felt short and sweet so it was overall an easy watch. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a quick ... refresher in preparation for the next season. Plus there is a preview from the next season which I thought was nice to include.

A recap of the first season and a small preview of the beginning of the second, Dr. Stone makes its return to the anime stage in light of the second season, starting at the beginning of next year. I am hyped for S2, I've heard great things about it story-wise, I've even made the effort of putting the manga on hold as to not spoil myself for the upcoming Stone Wars Saga. Dr. Stone was one of the better shows of last year, and with its increase in manga sales and its reception among anime fans has spurred a sequel series in the making.

Shonen Jump's ... Special Anime Festa 2020 released this episode onto Crunchyroll's YouTube channel with English subs, so you can watch it there. For about 19 minutes of the video, we revisit the events of season 1 with commentary from Senkuu and Ruri, glossing over the major achievements Senkuu and the village were able to achieve in preparation of the fight against Tsukasa and his army. They reused old scenes of the show, so the animation and artwork hasn't changed. It was nice to hear some of the songs used in the first season, as they were able to use the soundtracks properly. It was overall a very nice refresher to re-jog our memories.

Moving onto the last quarter of the episode, we get new content that leads up to the beginning of season 2, seeing a couple new inventions from Senkuu, as well as the start of the operation. I'm buzzing to start S2. Overall, this was a good refresher of season 1, and as a way to build up hype for season 2. I hope that season two improves to solve the technical issues that it faced last year. 6/10.

I watched it right after i finished Season 1 of Dr. Stone so the first half was useless to me, because it is only a recap.
There is some other stuff at the end which is new but it was not THAT good, could have just as well been in the TV series instead of being a standalone thing, for that reason im giving it a low score.

You should still watch this if you haven't watched Season 1 in a long time and you don't remember everything fully, this is quite a good recap.
Also watch this if you are crazy for new Dr. Stone content ... while you wait for Season 3
