Dr. STONE 'SCIENCE FUTURE' TV Anime has been officially revealed to be in production. This will be the fourth and final season of the series' adaptation.
| Oh damn, Hopefully this is not true since Dr stone is one of my favourite series and the anime was so good that I was holding off on the manga. But I might read the manga next year anyway. |

| Hmm... if that's what Riichiro Inagaki himself says, then Season 4 will be indeed the last one. I'm worried about it as an adaptation of the manga. Season 3 will conclude probably with ch. 14x (my hunch is ch. 142, with perhaps several scenes teasing what's coming next for the Kingdom of Science). The manga has 232 regular chapters in total, so no matter how you look at it, there will be still circa 90 chapters left for Season 4. I don't think that two cours will be enough to adapt it without awfully rushing the story. Heck, even three cours might not be enough. I can tell, 'cause I completed reading the manga long ago. Before, I thought that we'd have at least two season, each one consisting of 2 cours. It could be enough to have a decent and faithful adaptation. Now, I dunno... I believe in the crew responsible for Dr. Stone anime. They've done an excellent job so far. Although, I'd lie if I said I wasn't worried after hearing about Season 4 being the final one. Like I said before, there's gonna be 90 chapters to be adapted, so without a fancy special episode, and perhaps going the movie route with the final part of the final arc, I can't imagine it not being rushed. |

Yeah my thoughts exactly, The staff has done has a wonderful job so far that it feels really weird for them to conclude this in a hurried fashion but if that's what Inagaki says then it's set in stone. The manga was tempting enough but now after this news, I definitely will be reading the manga sometime soon. |

| Season 4 being the finale only makes sense if it’s at least 3 cours as you said, and results in their longest season yet. A standard 20 some episode season will skip so much, it’d be a travesty after adapting it so faithfully thus far. Holding faith they’ll do it right tho. |

I don't see that being the case whatsoever. They would need 2 2-cour seasons to wrap the series up, no amount of rushing could change that considering the pace they go at. And even then, TMS has done such a faithful adaptation, it wouldn't make sense for them to suddenly rush it. "Heading towards the conclusion" and actually being at the conclusion are 2 very different things, it almost certainly won't end with Season 4. Only way it would is if they can fit it into 3 cours, which TMS has done before (Yowamushi Pedal) so it's not completely out of the question, but would be a surprise to many

Yeah, I interpreted it as approaching the climax of the story, not necessarily the finale.
| @MajinDodo At first, after reading that message, I thought the same. Climax of the story can be pretty long in the world of animanga. But at the same time, I know it's only one of interpretations we can think of, equal in its significance to saying that it won't be the story of the climax, but actually Season 4. We need to wait for more details, I guess. Hopefully, if it is really planned to be the last season of Dr. Stone anime, we will have at least one nice special episode, a little bit longer than the Ryuusui one. All to introduce the viewers to the next season and cover a chunk of manga content to make Season 4 less "busy" in struggling, hypothetically, to squish so many chapters into one season. |

| @yoshZZ yoshZZ said: Oh, so TMS has already released a show whose season was divided into 3 cours? Good to know. That makes me less worried about the upcoming season, haha.Only way it would is if they can fit it into 3 cours, which TMS has done before (Yowamushi Pedal) so it's not completely out of the question, but would be a surprise to many Besides: yoshZZ said: This. It'd be totally shocking and surprising to suddenly see Dr. Stone anime getting rushed. Well, unless it's not profitable enough. I don't know how it's been faring lately, to be honest.And even then, TMS has done such a faithful adaptation, it wouldn't make sense for them to suddenly rush it. |
| Final season.... that's... pretty crazy. Speedrunning could already be felt having negative impacts here and there, with how abrupt some things got and what giant steps they sometimes managed to take, making certain "inventions", or their realisation, a little too convenient and perhaps beyond conceivable. When you consider how careful the series used to be with that kinda stuff at first, it's kinda disappointing. From barely able to navigate the sea to travel to another island, not only are they travelling around the world, but shooting straight for the stars moon? I'm happy for more of the series already being confirmed, but I can't fathom how we're supposed to be able to stomach all that in one season. Even if they spread it into three parts and not just two. |

I didn't notice the manga is finished. Hope the final season is good.

@Yaggamy Thanks for the info. I guess mal has outdated info then
MAL shows the new chapters as a different name. Search for: Dr. Stone: 4D Science |
