## Synopsis

Dr. STONE (2019-present) is a Japanese shounen anime series produced by TMS Entertainment and broadcast on TOKYO MX and KBS Kyoto, based on the manga. One fateful day a blinding flash turns all of humanity to stone, and thousands of years later high schooler Taiju Oki (voiced by Makoto Furukawa) awakens in a silent world of statues. His friend Senku Ishigami (voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi), a science-obsessed genius who has been free for months, has a grand plan to kickstart civilization using nothing but chemistry, engineering and ingenuity. Each episode is built from concrete problems: manufacturing soap, making glass, refining medicine, and building tools from scratch in a wilderness littered with frozen people. Alongside them are Yuzuriha Ogawa (Kana Ichinose) and Kohaku (Manami Numakura), whose skills and rivalries shape the team. The series unfolds across four seasons as one continuing story, mixing survival tension with comedic energy and an upbeat, adventurous optimism. Its clever problem solving and bright, earnest friendship make it a crowd pleaser. Fans of Hunter x Hunter and Cells at Work! will find resonance here, and the show suits viewers who love science-driven storytelling in a shounen setting.
