Review of Dr. Stone: New World

This might be my favorite Dr. Stone season so far. The past seasons were good too, but this season actually felt like it moves the plot forward quite well. In addition, I think the character interactions has improved a lot- at least that's how it felt to me. I actually laughed a lot at the comedy this season. No spoiler, but the plot this season is Senku and the Science Team sailing out of Japan to find the light source and save humanity once in for all. However, they happened to stumble upon an island, which makes things very interesting to say the last- because that islanddoes indeed harbor other humans. That's all I'll say about the that since any further and I might spoil the plot. I actually like the surprises the plot brings forth.

Character wise, Senku is an amazing MC as always. I have a soft spot for Kohaku, and they actually give her screen time this season, so I really enjoy that as well. Some of her bits made me laugh out loud. Ryuusui I found annoying, but he is what he is. The rest were there too, but the best support character by far is Gen. The mentalist is way more involved this season and I'm all for it. I think he brings more depth to the show that other characters do not. So glad they basically made him the 2nd most important character this season. You will too.

As for the animation, music, and VA- they're all the same as previous seaosn. For me, they're all solid 10/10. I really like how the manga artist draws his characters.

I will say though- even more than previous season, is that this 3rd season you really need a sense of disbelief to enjoy the show. The time jumps are all over the place. Sometimes you don't even know if there IS a time jump, but just have to assume. Why? Because a lot of the science stuff they come up with should take YEARS to complete, but the show kind of just says they do it and that's that. Need a microscope? WHABAM- now you have one. Don't ask us how it happened or how long it took to make. Rail roads and carts? Yeah, no problem. Btw, this automobile is now fully functional like a modern day car. Okay so despite all that- personally for me I was able to gloss over this suspense of disbelief and still really enjoy the show.

So should you watch Dr. Stone: New World? YES, I think you will enjoy it.
