Review of Dr. Stone: Ryusui
*SNAP* "HA HAAA!" Ah man, Ryuusui is such a shithead and I love him. The man is such a main character that he manifested an entire one hour special dedicated to him, something nobody else has gotten prior or since. He even gets to have my 60th ever review! This man is so cocky, he just bends destiny around himself it seems. There really isn't too much to say, as it's just a longer episode to bridge the gap between seasons. It presents all the goodies we've come to know and love about the Dr. Stone anime. Great character interactions, good mix of serious workand humour, awesome visuals and sound design and a fantastic sense of togetherness and cooperation with the entire cast. Once again, the new characters introduced slot right in like the pieces of an ever growing beautiful puzzle and they have great chemistry with everyone. Except for the fact that we reinvented capitalism, bet Tsukasa is gonna love that one once he's out of the freezer.
Being a special, the episode also stands out with having a little bit of extra effort put into it than the usual anime does and you can definitely tell the studio pulled out the special sauce for this. Francois probably made it for them. The visuals in particular are even better and we got some absolutely spectacular moments, especially during the balloon flight. The art direction was impeccable during that too.
Dr. Stone was a masterpiece till now and it keeps going that way. So if you've gotten to this part, then it's really more of the same goodness with just a little bit of extra oompf to the mix. So come join us on this journey and let's explore together! The destination is worth it. Trust me, a sailor's instinct is never wrong. HA HAAA!
