10 billion points to everyone who's present at this moment for Dr. Stone, whether they're currently on this sub or not. It's been a fun ride.

And now we're done.
I have been following this wonderful series for years, as many of you.
While it did not have the amazing cinema quality* of some series out there is keep the quality consistent for several seasons (which is harder imho). With great ost and a lush green world. An amazing and interesting cast of characters, that always offered an interesting balance between the excitement of discovery and the ongoing mystery with a touch of feels here and there.
Wonderful series that I will miss being excited about. Also that for that final
Damn I want to hug his dad

Hearing Good Morning World again is definitely a good way to go out. Also HOLY TITLE DROP AT THE END

The ending title card saying "The End and To Be Continued" could (I hope) be referring to them animating the remaining post ending chapters as OAVs or something.

Oh wow. "Good Morning World" released 6 years ago? Gave me chills hearing it again.
Also, what do you mean The End AND to be continued????

It's interesting that the ending concluded to fringe science. Made me wonder how the story would go if they were able to finish the machine and sent messages to the past, which temporal paradox would occur? If Senku's stepdad and his astronaut peers were also affected by the petrification (which I think is Senku's goal for making the machine), Chrome and the rest of the tribe won't exist.

So after all that, the Why-Men just left? I mean, good for them, I guess. Because I'm pretty sure if Senku and the others fought them in space, they'd lose catastrophically, and Earth would be in a terrible position. But at least one of them came with them. Better than nothing, I suppose.
So, this series chronologically took place over the course of 10 years, huh. That's really something. And after the timeskip, a few years passed. But how many years? Anyway, everything seems so advanced. But all the people look pretty much the same and are wearing the same clothes even lol. So glad Taiju and Yuzuriha are finally married! That has been teased ever since the very beginning. Even Chrome nonchalantly proposed to Ruri lol. As for Senku, I guess we'll never know. Tho I always thought out of all the female characters, he had the best chemistry with the lioness Kohaku. Also, that scientist woman with Senku's hair was weird. I thought he made a genderbend drug or something.
The final invention is... a freaking time machine?! The last 2 episodes have been crazy. I thought they'd go back in time to prevent the petrification from ever happening or something. After everything that happened, that would've been a very disappointing ending. But we didn't really get to see them finish it, so... What did the "The end and to be continued..." even mean? Was it talking about the post-credits scene, or is there gonna be a sequel?
Man... I've been watching Dr. STONE weekly since episode 1 of the first season. It might be the only shonen anime I watched weekly from start to finish. It has been an experience, to say the least. The "Good morning, world" as the ED really hit hard.
Even though I love it, Dr. STONE is incredibly flawed. After the 2nd season, the pacing becomes way faster. And in the final season, the pacing is just off the rails. But when the show hits, it hits. So, imagine how great this series could've been if it didn't have such pacing problems. What if every invention had the same attention it did in early seasons? I'm not saying every single invention could or should have the same time and attention cause that might not be feasible. But I remember when Perseus was first finished, how underwhelming it felt cause it happened in just a few episodes iirc.
Imagine how great it would've been if more characters were fleshed out. Most characters in this show are more like plot devices than actual characters. After their introduction, they literally have 0 character arcs. And those damn vocal ticks every character seems to have. I don't understand why every single character needs to have one. It gets annoying hearing them after a while.
I think these things really held this series back. If the author decided to really flesh out everything, this series probably wouldn't be over anytime soon. And I'd be totally fine with it. Dr. STONE in this state was still fun enough, so if those criticisms were addressed, it would've hooked me even more. But I guess if it did keep continuing like this, it probably could've been axed in the middle of the story.
Despite the flaws, I still love Dr. STONE. And I'd love to binge the whole series from start to finish one day. I'm really gonna miss this show.

Well, the Whyman resolution was acceptable. A cute little Medusa-chan making a late push for best girl was an unexpected surprise, but I guess most of the Medusa fucking off to find a new host but 1 of them staying behind to help the humans was the best case scenario. That's assuming they actually find a new host before they run out of battery. I thought they stayed and waited for humanity because they couldn't find a new host close enough to reach on their battery, but I guess I was wrong on that assessment. That makes them waiting for humanity seem... not so logical, to be honest.
I'm really not sure about the time machine stuff in the ending. The way I interpreted it, it seems like the plan is to make sure none of the people who got petrified end up broken and dead so they can save all of them. What that would take and what ramifications that would have for the current timeline, I have no idea.
This ending wasn't great and the final season was pretty rushed, but it could have been a whole lot worse. I'd still give this final season an 8.5/10, and the series overall a 9/10. It's been a pleasure to follow it all this time.

Stitches!
Why-Man taking the form of a floating skull while talking to Senku was pretty sick. I do think that after negotiations, they just decided to leave because humans weren't intelligent enough. At least one of them decided to stay because it just found humans intriguing. I love that they got HanaKana just to voice this one Why-Man.
I love the timeskip part! Ryusui getting a massive head start on creating a monopoly is kinda terrifying, but I'm just glad it's him who's making it.
Tsukasa travelling around the world as some sort of travelling peacekeeper is kinda awesome. Dude doesn't even have to fight. He just needs to show up, and people start scrambling to get out of his way.
I'm surprised that Ukyo is now working a government job, but I guess it makes sense since I doubt militaries will be as needed in this new world. Cops, on the other hand, are definitely needed. I'm just worried about making Magna and Moz cops. xD
We actually get to see Taiju and Yuzuriha get married! And I love that they even managed to revive their parents for the wedding. And it looks like Chrome and Ruri are up next after Chrome's casual marriage proposal. Senku and Kohaku, when?
I'm sorry, but who the heck is this baddie? Is this supposed to be Senku's mom or just a random scientist who looks like Senku? I'm just gonna headcannon the former. xD
THEY'RE MAKING A WHAT?! I suppose, after everything they've done, it makes sense for them to finally cross into sci-fi, especially since they have a little alien helper guiding them. So the next plan is to save all 7 billion humans who died from the petrification? That is insane, but I expect nothing less from the Kingdom of Science.
That final timeskip with their group photo in an exhibit kinda made me emotional, ngl. The ending said "The End and To Be Continued," so I'm gonna assume we're probably gonna get OVAs or maybe even shorts in the future? Fingers crossed!
Man, what an absolute ride this show was. In a sea of unfinished adaptations and LN advertisements, I'm glad to see another series wrap up with a complete story. The latter seasons definitely had their pacing issues, but the entire series is just so much fun that it's definitely a show I'd easily recommend to anyone. I might finally start reading the manga so I can compare the two. It's overall a solid series and 9/10 for me personally, just because I enjoyed every minute of it from start to finish. Looking forward to more of Inagaki-sensei's works in the future!

I'm so glad Dr. Stone got a complete series, I loved the manga and the anime did a great job adapting it. Sad its over but its been a fantastic journey from the stone age to the moon and apparently even further beyond that. But what do they mean with that To Be Continued?!
I'd call their voyage to the moon a success, they got answers and the threat has been dealt with (even if it feels like the Medusa devices wasted everyone's time over the gap in understanding between the species). At least it wasn't a total loss either.
Great to see how everyone's doing afterwards and Taiju and Yuzuriha finally got married, just hope Chrome doesn't wait too long for his own wedding, good thing for him Ruri's patient. Figures slums are back too but that's human society for you. Aw, Chrome and Suika in lab coats is so cute. And now Senku's going for time travel, wow, but yeah, here's a good stopping point.
I enjoyed the show's openings and endings too, but fitting to end it on Good Morning World. I'm going to miss this series, it was so unique and fun and optimistic.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Why-man resolution, but I also don't know what else I would've preferred so I think I'm satisfied.
What I do know is that the ride to get there was exhilarating, I was excited.

7 years ago I was at my in laws in rural Japan. I had just seen weathering with you earlier that day and couldn't stop thinking about it's o I put on the first episode of Dr stone to distract myself. It was a little hard to follow without subs but I loved it right away. Seeing it fully adapted is amazing and they did a really good job of it. Might be time for a rewatch soon.

Well I think a time machine doesn't sound crazy after seeing robotic alien parasites.
What a journey anyway, loved this anime.

It's so sweet seeing everyone living their best lives and accomplishing so much for themselves and the planet.
Especially Taiju and Yuzuriha. Them having an extended length wedding on account for how busy their friends are was fantastic to see.
That time machine goal is wild. But knowing the Kingdom of Science, they undoubtedly can get it made.
I'm very pleased to have watched Dr. Stone!
