Dr. Stone is a Japanese anime television series produced by TMS Entertainment based on the manga series of the same name written by Riichiro Inagaki, illustrated by Boichi, and published in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump. 3,700 years after a mysterious light turns every human on the planet into stone, genius boy Senku Ishigami emerges from his petrification into a "Stone World" and seeks to rebuild human civilization from the ground up. The series is directed by Shinya Iino, with Yuichiro Kido as scriptwriter, and Yuko Iwasa as character designer. Tatsuya Kato, Hiroaki Tsutsumi, and Yuki Kanesaka compose the series' music.[1] The first season aired from July 5 to December 13, 2019 on Tokyo MX and other channels.[2] The first season ran for 24 episodes.[3] The series is streamed by Crunchyroll worldwide outside of Asia,[4] and Funimation produced a simuldub.[5] The English dub of the anime began airing on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block on August 25, 2019.[6]

A second season of the anime series was announced after the first season's finale. The second season focused on the story of the "Stone Wars" arc from the manga series.[7] Titled Dr. Stone: Stone Wars, the second season aired from January 14 to March 25, 2021 and ran for 11 episodes.[8]

A sequel to the TV series was announced after the second season's final episode aired.[9] At the Jump Festa 2022 event, it was revealed that a third season would premiere in 2023. A television special titled Dr. Stone: Ryusui that focuses on the character Ryusui Nanami premiered on July 10, 2022. Shūhei Matsushita directed the special, while the rest of the main staff returned from the previous seasons.[10][11] After the airing of Ryusui, the third season's title was revealed to be Dr. Stone: New World, with Matsushita returning from the special to direct. It consisted of two split season cours consisting of 11 episodes each. The first cour aired from April 6 to June 15, 2023, while the second cour aired from October 12 to December 21 of the same year.[12][13][14][15]

Immediately following the conclusion of the third season, a fourth and final season titled Dr. Stone: Science Future was announced.[16]

July 10, 2022 (2022-07-10)

A television special that takes place between the events of seasons 2 and 3; following the defeat of the Tsukasa Empire, the now much larger Kingdom of Science prepare to embark to the other side of the globe to discover the source of humanity's petrification 3,700 years ago. In order to do this, they begin construction on a large ship to cross the ocean. Senku realizes they will need a captain who has loads of experience with sailing the open seas, and to that end they revive Ryusui Nanami: a young man who is an extremely skilled sailor, and heir to the once powerful Nanami conglomerate pre-petrification. However, Senku and the kingdom must find middle ground with Ryusui's greedy demands, and it's proposed that if the kingdom finds Sagara Oil Field to extract the oil needed to operate the ship, they will give Ryusui full ownership of it. Ryusui immediately reinvents currency and uses it to establish a market system within the kingdom, thus being able to get paid for the oil once it's discovered.

Senku deploys Chrome, Kohaku and Ukyo with a map of Japan's modern world coastline to scout for the location of the oil field, but they hit a dead end once its discovered that volcanic activity over the millenniums has vastly changed the terrain shown on Senku's map, thus making it next to impossible to locate it. In order to accurately redraw the coastline map so that they may locate the field, Senku and the kingdom manufacture a hot air balloon made of cloths of hemp. After a staged card pick-up raffle is orchestrated by Gen to determine who will join Senku in the balloon, it is determined that Ryusui and Chrome will join and the trio take off into the sky early the following morning. Unfortunately, during their test run to Ishigami Village, they are caught off guard by a sudden storm and get caught in its updraft. They barely manage to escape by lifting the balloon up through the clouds. As they safely reach the village, Senku and company are now ready to move on to the next step.
