Dr Stone Shares Impressive New Opening, Ending Themes

Dr. Stone has officially kicked off the second half of its first season, and it’s coming into some pretty high expectations as the series has been one of the major standouts of the Summer anime season. With the second cour for the series going into a whole new direction for the series, fans will see how Senku’s Kingdom of Science soon expand out even further than anyone had expected. But this brings all new kinds of dangers, which fans can see on full display in the new opening theme sequence.

Debuting with Episode 14 of the series, which premiered recently, the new opening theme is titled, “Sangenshoku” as performed by Pelican Fanclub. The new ending theme is titled, “Yume no Yo na” as performed by Saeki YouthK. You can find both of the new theme sequences below thanks to @Kirari_star on Twitter.

The second cour for the series will begin a new arc, which sees more characters and cast additions joining the fray. Now only that, one of the biggest reveals is coming to the series as it follows a pretty poignant flashback. This is teased in some notable sequences in the new opening, and the official Twitter account revealed these additions in full including Keiji Fujiwara as Byakuya Ishigami, Lynn as Lillian Weinberg, Hisako Kanemoto as Connie Lee, Showtaro Morikubo as Shamil Volkov, Rie Tanaka as Darya Nikitina, and Kanehira Yamamoto as Yakov Nikitin.
