THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This looks great so far. The setting looks so natural with the amount of content. The stone turning scene is so eerie.

Along with the main characters, we meet Senku (that shirt...I see what they did there) and he's quite an fascinating young man with his curious persoanlity. It pretty much sets up for rest of the season with the invention type of gags from the episode.

Taiju is also pretty funny to watch. I also find the music choice kinda clever for this.

I'm glad that the first episode did so well.

Nice visuals, atmosphere, comedy, soundtrack and voice acting. Very satisfied with how it turned out, this will be a fun adventure.

The animation in this looks fantastic, and I think the storyline is so unique. I hope that the series doesn't disappoint, although I don't think it will.

I'm interested to know how Senku and Taiju didn't need to eat or drink to survive. Easy 5/5 for me and I'm so happy to have started this anime at the beginning of it being aired.

Finally! This first episode was amazing it explained story very well a didnt feel rushed.
Both animation and the VA's are amazing.

You know you found a great anime if you cant wait for next episode and this one i can say with 10 billion % certainty will be exhilarating!!!

Also seeing Senku's troll face animated was the greatest thing :D
well that's just my opinion.....

That was fantastic, I was excited when an anime for this got announced but this first episode exceeded all expectations I had.

TMS really brought their production value to this, the art looks beautiful, the soundtrack is great, the montage sequences were the real highlight for me. The directing was great and it flowed so well with the soundtrack in the background.

Curious as to how many chapters they will adapt, did they ever confirm how many episodes this would be? I've only read the early parts of the manga so hopefully a lot of the stuff that I haven't read yet will get animated.

Senkuu and Taijuu make such a nice duo and their dynamic is great especially with Senkuu;s smirks and Taijuu's raw energy. Can't help but get excited. xD

Promising start, excited for more. Really hope the production can stay strong.

I like it so far, both of these guys are pretty likable characters (wish Taiju didnt yell so much but I suppose that's expected with a musclehead character like him), the visuals look nice, and the story seems interesting. I'm excited for the next episode!
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

It's an interesting concept no doubt but for a level of hype this anime got, so far I'm not that impressed.

So far it was only pilot setting episode, so I don't know where the story is going in a long run, but if it turns into an educational anime that teaches children the basis of chemistry and science then I'm out.

On plus side though, the production quality is excellent.

That was a great start. I went to this show completely blind (didn't even check the synopsis only knew it was serialized in the WSJ magazine) and didn't regret it. I'm intrigued to see more episodes of this. Do we know if this is going to be a 2-cour or not? Judging by the amount of chapters I think it's pretty plausible.

It looks interesting, but since it is a shounen, I suppose they are going to resurrect some bad guys to move the plot forward. I doubt science itself can keep this moving forward.

They adapted the start of one of my favorite mangas perfectly! I almost cried on the opening. Not because the song, which is good tho. But the beautiful visuals that brought back the memories <3
Loved the voice acting, directing, animation, coloring, the beautiful art of the nature, and of course the soundtrack! All of them are great!

Had some little bit off faces here and there but this really just nitpicking.

Well, he in all his "Episode discussion" posts tends to comment first, and after a couple hours he edit it by giving his final thoughts which leads me to believe he watches the episode just before he edit his own comment. He probably just wanna be the first to post as he's winning something by doing that.

Very splendid production is spent on such a weak story, and even worse, it's Fantasy trying to be Sci-fi. Remind me of pseudo-science trying to be hard sci-fi story which is one of my worst anime that begin with the word Steins and end with the word Gate. At this point the only thing that will make it interesting is to have only male gender resurrection, which it won't.

So that's why there was so much hype behind this anime.

The story seems really good, I already love Senkuu, the OST feels a bit out of place during the wine making compilation but was great nonetheless, the comedy made laugh out loud several times.

Yeah, this anime is a ton of fun. Definitely the best anime that has aired yet this season.

Except for the stone thing and surviving that long inside everything is pretty spot on. I have some comments though:
1. you do not have to stir grape juice to make wine. Generally alcohol ferments even without doing anything
2. why did they shaved? there is no advantage to shaving.
3. why did they use those to shave? A piece of rock or a piece of stone would have worked better. even backing from mud a knife would have been better, Also why don't they make bread?

why would they have just male gender resurrected? who would make babies? As long as women do as they are told and do not try to take control I do not see any problems.

Meh, didn't have hopes since the PV, but at least wanted to try the first episode to give it the benefit of doubt.

Pretty obnoxious episode as I was expecting. Loud dumb sidekick that has to shout out everything he's thinking or doing. And a rude 12year old-kinda character that has to go into hyperbole mode everytime he has to use any kind of numbers.

Hard pass for me.

Interesting concept rebuilding humanity from scratch.
With that potion they now hold the power to "revive" who they want too, curious how they will handle that, tho the shounen tag scares me, makes me believe they will "revive" bad guys just so there can be some "epic battles".
Looking at the OP seems to enforce that idea.

That would make a more interesting story, who would make a babies in a world full of men? Will civilization can be created without a woman? What's reproduction system our protagonists gonna come up with?

Such an awesome 1st episode! Art was consistent with the original manga style and it was bright and vibrant. The soundtrack was also really cool, the cheerful music suiting the anime well.

I think the VA choices for Senku & Taiju are spot on. They suit the characters so well!

I'm so excited for this anime and this episode did not disappoint at all!

This is incredibly weird. JUST THIS WEEK I was looking at a forum discussion for a random episode made a year ago, and someone recommended the Dr. Stone manga. So I've been reading the first chapters. And now - the same week, the first anime comes out. I am definitely going to watch this.

AND I catch the episode on Gogoanime just a bit more than an hour after it's been released. It's like it's destiny for me to watch it.

Plot and story are really good. Characters feel cliche and a little bit annoying though. The best 1st episode this season till now after Astra.
