Science is one of the most interesting topics in the world. From Biology and Chemistry to Psychics and Engineering, the ability for man to make something from nothing while using only the laws of the world is fascinating, to say the least. However, due to its rigid structure on how one can learn these topics, it's not for everyone. But that is also what makes Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi's manga series, Dr. STONE, so special.
Released in 2017, the manga follows a young genius who awakens in a world where every living thing has inexplicably become petrified stone. After discovering how to awaken them, he and his close friend hit the fast forward button on humankind and strive to bring the earth back to its former glory, one era at a time. Since the manga release, the series has spawned an anime that was a major hit with fans in Japan and the west, completing its first season.
Dr. STONE: Stone Wars is the upcoming second season of the anime and has been properly hyped up by the creators and Crunchyroll as being one of the most important seasons yet (and it is)! Before the show begins to stream on Crunchyroll, a new trailer and visual was released that introduce the main plot and some new characters. A ton of new footage showcases the new action and science that fans know and love.
Along with the new footage, a release date was also confirmed to be on January 14th! With a little over a month to go, this is the best time to either catch up on the anime or even rewatch the season entirely! We would love to hear your thoughts on the new footage in the comments below!
