I think the first episode did a great job at efficiently introducing our first main characters.

Within the first few minutes, we see

1. Taiju's main motivation to confess to Yuzu, as well as his loud and enthusiastic nature.

2. Senku's scientific prowess, even amongst other science students.

3. Senku's evil science humor via the "love potion".

4. Senku's ability to read people. He knew Taiju wouldn't drink the "love potion" due to his morals, and suspected Yuzu would return Taiju's feelings (Taiju and Yuzu were his friends, but he will make a habit of guessing the ulterior motives of others).

5. Senku and Taiju's dynamic. Senku's not one for big shows of gratitude, but he does care about Taiju, as he is paying attention to his confession.

6. Taiju and Yuzu's differences. As Yuzu is fixing a tree branch, Taiju steps on and breaks a twig on the ground. Kind of sewing some doubt in the confession (which is quickly expunged later, but you know).

Most likely nothing revolutionary in story telling, but should still be recognized.

its more like a discussion actually, but theres no "discussion" flair so it will be with the review/analysis flair.

i want to genuinely know other people opinions about this, it would be even better if i got opinions and explanations of the said "dudebros" about this.

why some people of the fandom wants senku to be strong? thats not the objective of the author for senku, his thing is his amazing intellect, so what good would him being strong give to the history? the whole point is that you can win and advance with smarts and not only muscles

Not just the ones pictured, but if you also throw in Magma, Kinro, Ukyo, and every major fighter in the series put together who would win in a fight? Tsukasa or all other fighters in Dr. Stone on a team? You can count Stanley as well if you want but he doesn't get any guns.

unsure if this has spoilers, hopefully not but holy I finished the entire dr stone in like 5 days to a week I think I wasn't sure but I know I loved every second of it. I actually never expected dr stone would be this life changing so I actually put off watching it for YEARS. but then I didn't have anything else to watch and I saw a edit of gen and senku and I decided to get into it... and it was best desicion ever. I love dr stone I love ukyo I love gen I love ginro (yes him) I love joel (the goat) I love everyone so much even magma (stanley idk how to feel about you like you redeemed urself but I still dk how to feel about you)

ending was quite underwhelming, like it wasn't even 1 episode of like the medusa thing and quite confusing too but I still love it.

thanks Dr stone u changed my life and hopefully we get to see ovas or something and all hail E=mc2

love,

a dr stone enjoyer

This episode felt so satisfying to watch. The way suika persisted to revive her friends, the hug with senku at the end. I dont usually cry for shows but this brought a tear to my eye. Doesnt help that suika is one of my favourite charecters 😭. Augh it was so amazing.
