The second installment in the Dr. Stone series The Stone Wars continues where we left off in season one with Senku and his crew preparing for war with Tsukasa and his tribe. How was it you may ask? Pretty neat. Stone War arc spans across 11 episodes with each episode filled with events and interactions which progressed the story in a nice cohesive way. Good pacing in shows this short is important so Im glad they kept it consistent with season one. The plot was not anything special but I appreciate the consistent lighthearted approach to storytelling that we experienced here. SPOILER SECTION Senku is still the good old Senku. The main character of this series is one of its strongest points and this doesnt change at all through the course of this season. Senku feels absolutely FRESH each time he appears on screen always keeping you guessing and having an ace up his sleeve. Side characters kept their colorful personalities and sprinkled the show with wholesome and hillarious interactions all throughout. Chrome was lowkey the GOAT of this season but I appreciate the rest of the old crew and the role they played. I just love these goofs so much. As for the freshly introduced characters this season we had some ups and downs. Psychofan blondie and dumbass police officer were meh but they both still managed to squeeze in some funny moments which is highly appreciated in a show like this. On T the other hand I really liked Ukyou and I would love to see more of him in the future. heres me being biased because I like archers. Visually the anime was as good as in season one. Consistent artstyle funny as fuck reaction faces and some nice background art are what defines Dr. Stone as a series. Sure there was no great holysakuga sequence but its not what people come and watch it for. As for the OST: holy fuck. The opening and ending sequence are such fucking bangers it is insane. You would think there would be at least one meh song in these two seasons but nah. As for the BGM there were some decent choices in terms of action music and as for the science section its still the same folky upbeat music that accompanied our characters in their tinkerking during season one. Overall a 9 out of 10 experience for me. Its still the same amazing lighthearted anime full of fun and colorful characters in an interesting and funny story.
