After 7 Years, Crunchyroll’s Hit Sci-Fi Anime Has Finally Entered Its Endgame (And You Shouldn’t Miss It)

by

Crunchyroll’s Spring 2026 season features many new anime, but one sci-fi series has consistently stood out since its debut in July 2019. Dr. Stone, produced by TMS Entertainment, presents a fascinating world where a medieval-like kingdom emerges in the far future, built by ambitious scientists. After nearly seven years, this intriguing show has released over a hundred episodes and continues to captivate viewers.

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.

Crunchyroll’s Dr. Stone Is Ready to End With a Bang After Nearly Seven Years of Airing

The anime Dr. Stone is nearing its end, with only three episodes left to air before the series finale on June 25, 2026. The final story arc centers on Senku, Stanley, and Kohaku’s journey to the Moon to face Why-Man, who is thought to be behind the petrification of humanity and the creation of the Medusa devices. While many mysteries remain, a big showdown is expected soon, possibly as early as the next episode.

Discovering the origins of the story is one of the most fascinating parts of the mystery, and considering how often the series has surprised us, the final battle promises to be just as unpredictable and exciting. However, there’s a chance the ending might feel hurried, since the last three episodes need to cover both the big showdown and give satisfying conclusions to all the characters. Still, as Dr. Stone nears its finale, it’s going to be hard to find another sci-fi anime like it on Crunchyroll. It’s truly become a standout in the genre, and it looks like it will end with a powerful conclusion – unlike many other action anime that struggle to stick the landing.
