Synopsis

Senkuu has made it his goal to bring back two million years of human achievement and revive the entirety of those turned to statues. However, one man stands in his way: Tsukasa Shishiou, who believes that only the fittest of those petrified should be revived.

As the snow melts and spring approaches, Senkuu and his allies in Ishigami Village finish the preparations for their attack on the Tsukasa Empire. With a reinvented cell phone model now at their disposal, the Kingdom of Science is ready to launch its newest scheme to recruit the sizable numbers of Tsukasa's army to their side. However, it is a race against time; for every day the Kingdom of Science spends perfecting their inventions, the empire rapidly grows in number.

Reuniting with old friends and gaining new allies, Senkuu and the Kingdom of Science must stop Tsukasa's forces in order to fulfill their goal of restoring humanity and all its creations. With the two sides each in pursuit of their ideal world, the Stone Wars have now begun!

Dr.Stone is one of the most entertaining anime that made me feel accomplished
after each episode. It is really satisfying seeing Senku and the others build modern things from scratch .

This Season has the same feel as the first season which was obviously very Entertaining. A lot of new characters are introduced and each and every one of them are so cool.

Story 9/10:
The Story is Great and All of Senku's new inventions are pretty cool. We get to see things outside the village and The action is pretty good too.We even get to see more on Tsukasa's side and I really liked it.

Art 9/10:
The art is ...

Mixed Feelings

Before I start this review, I must say that I have never been the biggest fan of the Dr. Stone anime.

While I felt that the first season was solid, I was underwhelmed. I always felt that despite having an interesting premise and a good gimmick of watching someone create modern technology in a stone age, this adaptation fails to improve upon the source material. I haven’t even read the manga, but I can tell pretty clearly how the manga panels would look given the layouts and frames of this adaptation.

This second season of Dr. Stone does nothing to change this flaw and even fails to ... live up to the first season due to a really fast pace that takes away the best aspect of Dr. Stone. The process of creation.

What makes Dr. Stone so unique and appealing to a wide audience is how it shows Senku creating modern technology using basic materials. The audience feels like they are learning something and they get to experience the pleasure of it being completed without experiencing the labor and effort put in to actually create it.

While this took a prominent role in the first season, it is all but gone in this one. For most of the scientific creations, we do not see the process of it being made. Instead, we get Senku pitching the idea a quick highlight reel of them creating it (if even that), or we see the creation as it is completed and the process for making it is quickly summarized after the fact.

The problem with doing this is that we do not get a reasonable understanding of how much time it took to complete the technology, how they were able to get all of the resources, or how exactly they created it. These factors are all very important for an anime ABOUT making modern science and technology in a primative time. It is necessary to establish some level of believability.

My assumption is that we did not get such an in-depth look at the process for creating the technology because they had to focus on the actual war between Senku’s camp and Tsukasa’s camp. The only problem is that there is hardly any action in this war, and when there is action, this adaptation fails to bring the source material to life.

For everyone expecting a big war between the two camps like in the cover poster or in promotional pictures, you will be disappointed. The war is more like a Cold War if anything. But when the fighting actually starts, the animation relies so much on static frames that there is nothing to get hyped over. During the fights, it is often confusing where everyone is in relation to each other and how much time is passing in the story world. While these things may be more forgiveable in a manga, they are deal-breaking in an anime. It only leads to confusion and a break in immersion from the anime.

One last thing I want to talk about in this season specifically is how they handled Tsukasa’s character. *MINOR SPOILERS* in the rest of this paragraph, so skip to the next paragraph if you don’t want to know. I did not like how much they backtracked to make his character more likeable and sympathetic. This man destroyed statues of adults with the intent of killing them as an act of genocide. Changing his views or giving him a sob story does not change that. *END OF MINOR SPOILERS*

Everything else in this season is very similar to the previous one, for better or worse. I still do not like the comedy in this series because it relies too much on a character making a “funny” face. While this may work better in the manga, the faces are always drawn out for too long and ruin what little shock value humor that they had. The art is still good for close-ups on characters, but the scenery is bland and generic. I still do like how unique the OST is with using older instruments, but it seems like they moved away from that a bit and used more modern instruments this time around.

This series is one that usually leaves me disappointed by the end because of how its potential is wasted due to a poor adaptation. If you liked the first season, then you will probably like this one as well. If you didn’t like the first season, then I would not recommend watching it. The season after this one looks promising, so I may watch it when it airs.

It is closer to a 6/10 than a 4/10

Not Recommended

Honestly, I feel like I'm going crazy seeing the general reactions everyone has about this show. It is possible that everyone who isn't a complete fanboy has already dropped it, but I thought Season 1 was decent enough for me to give Season 2 a shot.

For an action shounen which set up this season as a big war between the two factions of the story, the action is unbelievably underwhelming. The battle scenes are awkwardly directed, the tension is non-existent since every fight gets resolved in an instant, and the animation/sound are serviceable at best.

This series' strong suit has always been the cute ways Senkuu ...
