Synopsis

After five years of harboring unspoken feelings, high-schooler Taiju Ooki is finally ready to confess his love to Yuzuriha Ogawa. Just when Taiju begins his confession however, a blinding green light strikes the Earth and petrifies mankind around the world—turning every single human into stone.

Several millennia later, Taiju awakens to find the modern world completely nonexistent, as nature has flourished in the years humanity stood still. Among a stone world of statues, Taiju encounters one other living human: his science-loving friend Senkuu, who has been active for a few months. Taiju learns that Senkuu has developed a grand scheme—to launch the complete revival of civilization with science. Taiju's brawn and Senkuu's brains combine to forge a formidable partnership, and they soon uncover a method to revive those petrified.

However, Senkuu's master plan is threatened when his ideologies are challenged by those who awaken. All the while, the reason for mankind's petrification remains unknown.

Imagine waking up one day and finding that 3,700 years have passed, and every human on Earth has been turned to stone. That’s what happens to Senku Ishigami, a teen science prodigy who cracks out of his stone shell with a single mission: “Rebuild civilization using the power of science.”
Dr. Stone takes us through the foundations of this post-apocalyptic world, where Senku uses sheer brainpower (and a lot of trial and error) to bring humanity back, one invention at a time.

The Science is Real (Mostly): What really sets Dr. Stone apart is its hard science fiction angle — Senku's inventions are based on actual scientific ...

Mixed Feelings
Dr. Stone is an anime about rebuilding civilization through the power of science, offering a unique twist on post apocalyptic storytelling. The concept of blending science with survival in a world turned to stone is undeniably compelling. However, the show often gives lengthy explanations which can feel more like information dumps rather than engaging plot development. While the educational aspect is appreciated, it sometimes overshadows the depth and growth of the characters. It's technically detailed, but lacks substance and character complexity. Overall, Dr. Stone is entertaining and offers something different, but it doesn't quite deliver a fully satisfying anime experience.

Dr Stone is a "comedy" that starts with a highschool boy getting ready to confess his love to a girl.
But then the end of the world happens and every human in the world is turned to stone. Cars crash. Planes fall from the sky. One can only imagine the amount of deaths.

Turns out people are still conscious in their stone body, and our MCs keep themselves occupied one by thinking of the girl he loves. The other by simply counting.
They break free after 3000 years and somehow still kept their sanity despite being stone and conscious for 3 millennia.

First of all this is a ...
