It will be two cours. If it just 1 cour the story won't have proper conclusion. With 2-cours then we will get adaptation until around chapter 82-83, the end of second arc.


24 episodes for 82-83 chapters might feel rushed, reason I thought it's unlikely, it might happen though. Another thing is there will be scientific explanations too, especially in the second half of manga so it will take time here. For one cour, we can actually get a proper conclusion if it ends with

Really looking forward to this!

I don’t think I know much about any of the additional cast members in all honesty but I’m hoping TMS Entertainment and the Staff members will do a great job at adapting its highly successful original source!

For manga readers, how likely is it for this series to be getting a two cour or more?
TMS Entertainment are one of the few Studios who’ve seen through a decent amount of shows to completion and Fruits Basket its latest, so I’m hoping this’ll join those ranks too you see.

Edit: Just Clarifying but I’m well aware that Dr. Stone original source, its manga counterpart, is not completed so a full adaption cannot be possible now. It’s just I’m hoping this first season will have two cours and then gradually we’ll get more season(s) to finish off the entire storyline.
