Dr Stone Season 2 Announced

The story of Senku and his attempt to rebuild society by using rudimentary technology as the rest of humanity is locked in stone is getting a second season! With Dr. Stone being one of the biggest anime franchises to be released this year, and the first season having released its final episode, the animation studio of TMS Entertainment didn’t take long to let fans know that a brand new season titled “Stone Wars” will be continuing the adventure of this “Stone World”.

Dr. Stone released the information via their Official Twitter Account, confirming that the adventures of Senku and his friends and enemies will be making a return, following the manga adaptation with new stories that explore the young scientist’s attempt to bring human society back to where it once was:

Besides simply trying to free humanity from its “stone prison” that sees early all of civilization encased in tombs of stone, Senku also has to rally against Tsukasa, a young man who has his own idea of what the world should be in the future. Rather than attempting to recreate the world, Tsukasa wants to create a world where the old generation is wiped out and the younger generation is able to take over. Of course, this causes quite some tension between Senku and the young renegade, leading to disastrous confrontations.

While a release date hasn’t been confirmed as of yet, it’s still nice to know that more adventures will be on the way for Senku and company!
