Most science fiction anime show us amazing future technology, but Dr. Stone does something different: it goes back to the beginning of scientific discovery. Instead of dazzling us with futuristic gadgets, the show focuses on how humanity originally developed science, slowly rebuilding a primitive world into a modern one. The main character, Senku, starts with a crucial invention – a fluid to revive people using nitric acid and alcohol. As the story continues, he makes many more discoveries, and now, as Dr. Stone reaches its climax, the series is taking its biggest leap yet: building a rocket ship to travel to the Moon.
