Dr. Stone Episode 3 Discussion

BlindSniper said:
Wow, this show I rated a 9 went to a 6 real quick.

cchigu said:
Ah, man. These exaggerated faces are unfunny and cringe, please stop doing that. That mention of Hakone instantly reminded me of Run with the Wind. Aside from that, even after 3 episodes, this show is barely above average. Sad that except for Vinland Saga nothing good is airing this season. What a dud season.

3/5

We're hitting every anime cliche along the way... make it stop.

Get used to it, Senku does it a lot.
3/5

Why almost every "Shounen Jump Hit" anime has this "comedy" with over the top crazy faces? Its simply not funny at all, worse if the comedy used is cliché.

I can't stand Taiju at all, He pretty much overreacts about everything, Like I get it, he's exceedingly stupid but please give us a break, it is getting old already.

Not just that, this episode hit a lot of clichés outta nowhere.

Ok so Senku has a girl in his team and Tsukasa is now the villian, but the fuck , he not only has super human strength but also has the brains to match Senku????

That's because this anime is Shounen genre afterall...

HereticHunter said:

Oh please, don't give me that shit. I can name many Shounen that doesn't rely on overusing gags or have forced comedy with over exaggerated faces like that.

Belonging on the Shounen demography isn't a synonym of poorly executed comedy, cliché events and exceedingly annoying characters. (This even happens on Seinen anime, so using Shounen as an excuse doesn't work)

Next...

If you really know it better, then why you're complaining then? Can you name them all? Chop chop, I'm waiting. You have 10 seconds.
Pretty much every Shounen does the silly faces thing.

HereticHunter said:
Yeah, I know many anime does that, but Dr. Stone does it poorly and have bad timing and this episode was very predictable on it (Like Taiju spilling out about how to heal petrified people to Tsukasa)

I have some examples, I might not name them all in 10 seconds (nobody can) but here I go

- Sengoku Youko (Manga)
- Hunter x Hunter
- Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan
- FMA (Both versions)
- Saint Seiya
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
- World Trigger

The difference here, is that these I mention have proper build up and are executed well, unlike Dr. Stone that overuses gags to the point of getting old and annoying.

Edit:

> If you really know it better, then why you're complaining then?

How do you think I came up with that concussion?

Wow I didn't know simple comedic faces worth a -3 on MAL

Timz0r said:


Silly gags is a common trope in shows. Especially when they are aimed for kids. Do I have to spell it again? K-I-D-S.

From that list I only have seen JoJo so far, but can't agree with it:


Silly face is silly. ORA!


And no, it's not up to me to figure out why you're the one complaining. That's why I'm asking.

HereticHunter said:
Again, Silly gags are even present in Seinen anime too (Bungou Stray Dogs for example) and it seems you need some reading comprehension skills since I remember saying that Dr. Stone comedy is poorly executed, I'm not only complaining about the faces being exceedingly silly, but the overall comedy. It isn't good and its really ruining it for me, for a highly acclaimed "hit" of the Shounen Jump Magazine this is somewhat disappointing. Same happened with Kimetsu no Yaiba, but at least the latter has been getting better on that regard (mostly on timing). JoJo has many silly gags and you can notice how well done they are, specially if you consider the amount of references there are on many anime and manga, not to mention the amount of memes it gets.

The point is that Dr. Stone seems to try really hard on trying to make it funny, relying on making use of over exaggerated faces and whatnot.

> And no, it's not up to me to figure out why you're the one complaining. That's why I'm asking

The sole question of "Why do you complain/bother then?" is uncalled for and pointless, Allow me to explain why.

In this case, I brought up to the table the things I disliked, pointing out why it didn't work for me. Being asked "why do you even care in the first place" feels insulting. Specially if you consider the possibility that if you drop it you won't have a complete opinion when the show ends and people will tell you "Oh, you didn't even finish the show, you barely know anything", but if you finish and still complain then people will ask "Then why did you bother with it in the first place?"

Its just a damn redundant question that people can answer themselves, but they don't because most of the times, some people only likes to see positive opinions and see negative ones as heresy (I, too, have done that, but lately I've tried not to get bothered by negative opinions, I just accept that there are people who thinks differently as I do and let it be)

Timz0r said:


Honesty, my reading comprehension skills are fine, thank you being concerned. I've read that loud and clear. Even now indeed twice. No need to repeat yourself for a third time. I'm not senile yet. But I agree indeed the humour is poorly executed, but then again, I don't like the show since episode 1 and I have my own reasons for it, eh.

Also:

Please don't come up now with the 'I feel insulted' excuse, will ya? I'm not the one afterall that started the shitty "Oh please, don't give me that shit." attitude, right? Now if only you have didn't do that, things could have been a much better outcome, am I right? ;-)

If you think Vinland Saga is the only good anime this season then why have you given this show an 8 and Fire Force a 9? Doesn't seem like that adds up.

Give Crunchyroll a couple hours and it'll be up

These ratings were based on my impressions of their respective 1st episodes. First episodes were fine but the next episodes of both Dr. Stone and Fire Force were where I realized that aside from the setting, these shows really lack originality and that is not a big problem for me as long as the characters were fun and not annoying. But man, characters turned out to be the worst in Dr. Stone. Senku aka the Edgy MC (E=mc2? really???). fkin Taiju who screams and take my HP with it and such a bland character. Yuzuriha? fkin basic chara, couldn't care less even if she dies or get raped or whatever. Tuskasa? so bad, a normal high school boy who can defeat lions bare handed? as if one can. So bayed.
