 Well, the games journalists have done it again, dropping some asinine 'hot' takes. Apparently Dr. Stone is an isekai just without magic and more exposition. There's very little criticism aside from a sarcastic (I hope) description of the plot so far. What do you guys think about the clickbait statement at the start of the review? Anyone agree with this guy? |
 |
| I understand why that guy said that, but it´s stupid. Dr.Stone is a post-apocalyptic story. Period. |
 |
| Maybe sharing the link article would be nice than just clickbait title. Probably it is explained as science later on, but when the human turned into stone first thing comes from my mind looks like a magic already, and the fact the characters know the state and the mechanism of the world they are living, is definitely far from Isekai |

Probably should at least checked before commenting. |

| Goblin Slayer is apparently an isekai too, looks like everything is an isekai nowadays. |

| Who gives a shit about those worthless gamergate failures? |
 |
| Well it's polygon. They think about getting some money first by making some buzz, and then maybe if they have some times they'll do some research about what they wrote. But not too much, because it's juicier to write another article than taking the time to inform yourself. Informing yourself don't make the buzz anyway, so who cares~ They are not pro journalists. Even amateur journalist kids doing it for some school newspaper put way more heart and effort into informing themselves before writing something. |
 |
| I want to bust a nut every time someone tries to call this an isekai. It's literally the same damn world they were on before the apocalypse. |
What a beautiful Duwang |

| @RebelPanda , when I see that kind of weird clickbaits I usually don't read what is further. No need to loose my time. If "a journalist" don't know the basics of a thing they make a review about, then I hardly believe this review is even worth checking out. It's different when you pick up different variations of definitions or even slightly modify it, and it is completely alright, but it is different as well to ignore the main principles of a thing that is being defined, and that is something bad to do in terms of writing about anything and wanting it to look consistent. So even if you posted a link to the article (too bad you didn't.. ;p ) I wouldn't really read it. No need to lose time on "reviews" like that. "Dr. Stone is an isekai", I'm fine with calling it like that as long as I see good arguments for it. Sadly, I can't agree with the arguments I read in this review (yes, in the end my curiosity won and I read it, just to check whether I wasn't too harsh about this title by calling it as a clickbait; unfortunately my predictions about this review were correct..). @Heimur , yeah, everything is an isekai nowadays and all male characters who are not angelic ideals are called as incels. What's gonna be next? I have no idea to be honest, lol. Edit: I fixed some words I wrote with typos and made my post look less salty. |

No real need to read it though, the guy says nothing but a lazy plot synopsis. The hottest take in the whole thing is the stupid clickbait title. |

Well I assumed it was hyperlinked, that logical thinking hinted me, however I wrote post via my smartphone, so checking it was not that easy (nor hard too, tbh), and clicking it without thinking wouldn't go along with my personal rule of not clicking into random things on the Internet. A lot of people I know are like that from various reasons, so I'm not alone here, lol. About "this generation" stuff I guess I am older than you, but it doesn't matter. You could easily say as well that some people forgot the value of their alphabet (here: Latin) and want to communicate with images when outcomes to chatting or discussing on the Internet. As I noticed, around 90% or even more posts presenting something add a source as a texted link. Not image, not even custom short name, but normal link. This practice is quite useful and helpful for people browsing the forum via their mobile devices. |

Adnash93 said: Ok Ok joke joke ojisan, we are discussing animu, not the decaying generation. Have you read the source? Considering Dr. Stone is an isekai is flat out bunk. Isekai is a story that takes place in another world, this is the same world as our own as far as we know. The complaints about the story being overly expository are bunk too because it's delivered with great visuals, comedic montages, all done pretty fast. And it does dump exposition, but with everything it tells us it also shows us.RebelPanda said: The. Image. Is. Hyperlinked.

Probably it could, since all it needs just to be transferred to another world. But I haven't accross any isekai where at the very least the state is exactly the same as the original world. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| reminder that Polygon also made an article calling Attack on Titan fascist and race supremacist propaganda EDIT: seems like they are using a very loose definition of isekai there, so an alternate world to them can also be applied to a different time like in the future and it reminds me of those New World Order stuff |
| Polygon has been very unreliable for some time Now. Why expect them to write something decent?? |

| What is this writer trying to say, though? The one true saving grace of Dr. Stone is that it looks gorgeous comes out like it's preceded by some wrought out expose on the series, but I don't see anything explicitly critical in the article. Like, at all.They don't even clarify the title or sub. . . |
 |
| Ppl still read articles written by game/anime journos? Everything they write is just trash or some sjw shit |
 |
| You can consider it an isekai anime since the world they where in have a major difference from the world they normally live on. In short it is a Brand New World. |

And I'm not THAT old. xD About the article, I read it in my free time having nothing else to do. I though "why not? at least I will have wider perspective on implications from this article". It literally expands the dumbness of short introduction quoted in the first post and goes further and further in its bad assumptions, continuing treating Dr. Stone as an isekai and pointing out its disadvantages in a strange way. Like saying about typical isekai problems in a way it can be applied to any shounen anime. Even the part about the art used in Dr. Stone was unfortunate. Like: "The first two episodes of the anime would probably be better off without any of the dialog", what the check?! I know their chatting is not on academic level of doctors of philosophy at the college, but it's a shounen with high schoolers as protagonists, lol. In conclusion, this article was exactly like its introduction: dumb and awkward. |
| Don't care about it. Every fukin anime is now isekai for me. |
| So...i guess real life its also a reverse isekai....good one -_- |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
Emillian said: So...i guess real life its also a reverse isekai....good one -_- Haha good point, but it's not that much of an exaggeration. Soon everything will be called as "reverse isekai", "incel protagonist", "too much talking". I don't like it, but our evolution is slowly approaching a nonsense of this type. |

"Reverse isekai" is an oxymoron, so funny. Incel protagonist is kinda valid if the character bears enough similarities to incel outlooks. I doubt most things would be called all of those, but "too much talking" is already a vague criticism many use. To be fair though, it's pretty difficult to make interesting info dumps. Dr. Stone managed to pull it off but plenty of others don't. |
|
| "Not only are you wrong, you are stupid" I get when some people can get an Isekai feel out of some anime, like Danmachi and Goblin Slayer, but Dr. Stone feels far from an isekai. It is a post apocapyptic story with a briliant boy who is in a stone age world and is at this point trying to make a gun. HOW THE HELL DOES THAT SOUND LIKE AN ISEKAI? |
