WEBVTT 00:00:05.710 --> 00:00:09.490 You're listening to the After Hours Arc. My name 00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:13.089 is Anti, and I'll be your host. Join me as I 00:00:13.089 --> 00:00:18.089 review, recap, and relive anime, one arc at a 00:00:18.089 --> 00:00:22.530 time. And as always, these are all from a manga 00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:27.289 -free point of view. And for tonight's episode, 00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:32.810 I am so excited to talk about Dr. Stone, the 00:00:32.810 --> 00:00:37.340 first season. I am so not caught up to be jumping 00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:41.200 into Spring. I also think it's the second part 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.619 of their Season 4. I am not entirely sure. Because 00:00:46.619 --> 00:00:50.240 this is not one that has been on my radar. I 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:54.039 have no clue where they're at. But I was pleasantly 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.500 surprised that when I opened it up on Crunchyroll, 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.780 there was just so much to get into. And I have 00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:06.879 been dying. for a show that i can actually binge 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.480 i don't want one two seasons i want multiple 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.900 seasons i want movies i want it all so this one 00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:21.239 is definitely checking all the boxes for me and 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.640 i don't really know why it took me so long to 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.760 get into it maybe i thought it was just a typical 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:33.019 shonen but it is a lot more than that This is 00:01:33.019 --> 00:01:37.239 a very smart anime, and I can't help but think 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.140 of Apothecary Diaries every time I say this, 00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:43.579 because that is how I would describe that anime 00:01:43.579 --> 00:01:48.340 as well. And they are very similar, although 00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:52.019 to me Apothecary Diaries is much more mystery 00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:56.900 -based, where this is very much more world -building, 00:01:57.019 --> 00:02:01.459 I believe. That's how I would compare it. So 00:02:01.459 --> 00:02:06.760 getting into Dr. Stone and the setup. Everything 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.939 starts on a normal school day. We have a confession 00:02:10.939 --> 00:02:14.340 that is waiting to happen. A love confession. 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.159 And before it happens, there's this green flash 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.919 that just goes across the whole planet like a 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.300 wave. Everybody gets turned to stone. They turn 00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:31.750 into these statues. And I was really confused 00:02:31.750 --> 00:02:35.849 at first because they weren't solid. You could 00:02:35.849 --> 00:02:39.930 hear people thinking and freaking out and calling 00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:42.569 out for help, even though they weren't actually 00:02:42.569 --> 00:02:46.770 making sounds. If they returned to stone, I would 00:02:46.770 --> 00:02:49.409 think that they would have been solid stone. 00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:54.270 So I was a little confused at first. But what 00:02:54.270 --> 00:03:01.939 happens is 3 ,700 years passed. The world basically 00:03:01.939 --> 00:03:07.500 reclaims everything that they had built. I'm 00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:12.159 talking skyscrapers and buildings are gone. Forests 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.280 are swallowing these cities again. Animals are 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.479 not just roaming freely, but they are the top 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.419 of the food chain. We had monkeys and lions. 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:28.800 And this is in Japan, so... It was pretty intense. 00:03:30.379 --> 00:03:32.960 There is this kid who stayed conscious through 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.520 the entire petrification. And what he did was 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:41.599 he literally counted the seconds. He planned 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.620 on rebuilding civilization, but he needed to 00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:50.340 know the exact day and time. So this boy literally 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:55.400 counted from second to zero all the way until 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:01.009 the time that he essentially awoke. So this boy 00:04:01.009 --> 00:04:04.750 is Senku, and he is this science -obsessed kid, 00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:10.610 and he is so smart. He ends up waking up six 00:04:10.610 --> 00:04:15.389 months before his best friend Taiju, and Taiju 00:04:15.389 --> 00:04:20.970 is so loud and obnoxious, but in the best way. 00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:24.790 Like, for some reason, it really works for his 00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:27.870 character, even though I feel like it should 00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:32.629 annoy me. But after Taiju cracks out of his shell, 00:04:32.910 --> 00:04:36.910 Senku already has a plan. He has a shelter and 00:04:36.910 --> 00:04:41.350 basically a mission. This is the birth of the 00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:46.610 stone world and the rebirth of human ambition. 00:04:47.449 --> 00:04:52.189 Senku and Taiju essentially have discovered that 00:04:52.189 --> 00:04:57.670 nitric acid is the key to reversing this stone. 00:04:58.459 --> 00:05:02.300 petrification. They have been testing it and 00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:06.680 refining it, and suddenly they have the power 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.959 to bring people back. Of course, Taiju wants 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:15.800 to revive this girl, Yuzuriha, who he was about 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.699 to confess his love to. But the stone world does 00:05:20.699 --> 00:05:25.879 not wait for any type of romance to ensue, because 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.009 they get attacked by a lion. Which was wild. 00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:35.370 Because even though it has been 3700 years, they 00:05:35.370 --> 00:05:38.509 are still familiar with a modern world and a 00:05:38.509 --> 00:05:44.490 modern Japan. So to see a lion out of nowhere 00:05:44.490 --> 00:05:50.670 is pretty intimidating and insane. So this lion 00:05:50.670 --> 00:05:54.870 attack ends up forcing them to have to revive 00:05:54.870 --> 00:05:59.879 somebody else. Somebody strong enough to protect 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.860 them. And this is where we get introduced to 00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:10.120 Tsukasa. He is the strongest primate high schooler. 00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:14.579 He is a natural born warrior. And he ends up 00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:18.240 punching this lion to death in like minutes of 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:24.600 waking up. He is an absolute beast. I immediately 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:30.500 knew that he was going to be bad news. At first, 00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:36.519 he did seem like the perfect ally. But his philosophy, 00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:42.220 it is very dark. Because he just wants to revive 00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:46.279 the young. He wants to keep the world quote unquote 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.579 pure. And he wants to prevent people and corruption 00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:55.769 from returning. However, what he really wants 00:06:55.769 --> 00:07:00.350 is to create his own strong, dominated world. 00:07:00.490 --> 00:07:04.170 With him on top. And of course Senku refuses. 00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:09.389 Science belongs to everyone, and humanity belongs 00:07:09.389 --> 00:07:15.170 to everyone. Senku is only going to revive everybody. 00:07:15.529 --> 00:07:18.910 That is his goal. He is not picking and choosing. 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.100 And I will say, this is the moment that this 00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:25.399 whole stone world, it really stopped being empty 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.560 for me. It started becoming really dangerous. 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:33.980 Because this Tsukasa dude literally killed people. 00:07:35.459 --> 00:07:39.420 He smashes the heads off of a bunch of these 00:07:39.420 --> 00:07:42.620 statues. And even Senku is like, do you know 00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:47.040 what you just did? And he does know, and he doesn't 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.639 care. And this is where I was also confused because 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:56.540 it wasn't gory. There was no blood. It was a 00:07:56.540 --> 00:08:02.480 solid statue. So I don't understand how they 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.519 were able to crack out of a shell, but Tsukasa 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.839 was able to completely knock off this petrified 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.220 head and it was solid stone. That part still 00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:17.920 really confused me. Maybe I'll figure out more 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.939 in Season 2. I've been waiting to record this 00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:25.680 before I start Season 2. I didn't want anything 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.439 to be clouded. I didn't want to get confused 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.659 or bring up the wrong things. But Tsukasa sees 00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:36.860 Senku as a complete threat to his new world. 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.259 And it's basically because of science. Science 00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:44.200 is what creates weapons and mass destruction 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:49.139 and Tsukasa's sick and twisted idea of peace 00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:56.120 doesn't align with all of that. So when he confronts 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.000 Senku, he ends up giving him one last chance 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:05.440 to abandon science. Senku refuses because if 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.580 he compromises here, the whole future is going 00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:14.809 to cease to exist. There is no chance. That there 00:09:14.809 --> 00:09:17.429 will be able to be a comeback. And I will say 00:09:17.429 --> 00:09:22.090 at this point. They have revived Yuzuriha. And 00:09:22.090 --> 00:09:24.269 apparently she's supposed to be some crafter. 00:09:25.029 --> 00:09:29.970 But while Taiju is out grabbing materials. Tsukasa 00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:34.929 ends up taking her hostage. And when he confronted 00:09:34.929 --> 00:09:38.490 Senku about the whole science deal. He was using 00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:43.700 Yuzuriha as leverage. He ends up killing Senku 00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:48.159 by striking his neck. I forget exactly what spot 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.080 he was going to hit or cut, but it was supposed 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.340 to be immediate death. But what ended up happening 00:09:56.340 --> 00:09:59.919 was there was this piece of stone fragment that 00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:04.779 was still stuck to his skin. He had been hinting 00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:09.659 at his neck throughout this whole part of the 00:10:09.659 --> 00:10:13.139 season. He would be stretching it and rubbing 00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:18.059 it. He was pretty much inviting Tsukasa to want 00:10:18.059 --> 00:10:21.259 to attack him. So there was always this plan 00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:25.860 in the back of his mind. And Taiju and Yuzuriha, 00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:28.960 they realize that he had faked his death. They 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.820 could bring him back if they revive that little 00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:37.740 piece of the stone. So even though his neck was 00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:42.580 like snapped, when this acid got poured onto 00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:46.179 that piece of stone, it also healed his neck. 00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:49.220 So they end up faking his death. But this is 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:54.019 where they're going to part ways because Taiju 00:10:54.019 --> 00:10:57.480 and Yuzuriha are going to go to Tsukasa's empire 00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:02.019 and basically be double agents. While Senku is 00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:06.740 going to head into the wilderness. So throughout 00:11:06.740 --> 00:11:10.080 all of this, they had been working on gunpowder 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.740 and trying to make these weapons to fight him 00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:17.820 because they're not going to be able to beat 00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:19.340 Tsukasa. And creating all of this smoke by accidental 00:11:19.340 --> 00:11:24.220 explosions, they were getting smoke signals from 00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:28.299 the forest. So Senku plans to go investigate 00:11:28.299 --> 00:11:32.120 all of that while they go play double agent. 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:37.000 This is where Senku is going to meet Kohaku, 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.600 who is this ninja warrior girl who is so fast 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:45.299 and incredibly strong. And I'd say she has very 00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:50.779 little hesitation. She's very quick‑witted. 00:11:50.779 --> 00:11:54.059 I really enjoyed her a lot. He ends up having 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.480 to save her using physics because she got into 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.840 it with Tsukasa. And he ends up dropping a tree 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.539 on her. So he ends up getting the tree trunk 00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:11.019 off and she brings him to her village, which 00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:15.740 is Ishigami Village. Now, he doesn't know this 00:12:15.740 --> 00:12:19.139 at first, but his last name is Ishigami. So we'll 00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:23.159 get into that in a little bit. But this village 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:27.799 is functioning like an actual society. There 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:32.100 are like dozens of people that were born in 00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:36.960 the stone world. They aren't from the old one. 00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:40.019 They didn't wake up from the stone. They have 00:12:40.179 --> 00:12:42.840 no memory of that world. And Senku doesn't know 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.840 this yet. But this village is going to reshape 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.419 the entire season. Because of the way it's connected 00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:53.639 to him. I really enjoyed the way they pulled 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:58.120 me through this story. Every time something 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.039 came up I was not expecting it. So I was very 00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:05.120 happy with it. But he ends up meeting quite a 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.639 few people. We meet Chrome, who is a self‑taught 00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.720 sorcerer. And he collects minerals and he loves 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:17.600 to experiment. He is this age's Senku, for sure. 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.259 And I love that they call themselves sorcerers 00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:25.299 because they didn't have the word science or 00:13:25.299 --> 00:13:28.120 scientist. We also have Kaseki, who is this elder 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:35.019 craftsman. And he is so funny. He just wants 00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:40.490 to be one of the boys. And when he gets into 00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:43.610 crafting something, he flexes and it rips off 00:13:43.610 --> 00:13:50.009 like his clothing. And it's just so intense. 00:13:50.429 --> 00:13:56.269 He is such a real one. I love him so much. We 00:13:56.269 --> 00:13:59.470 also have Suika, who is this shy little kid. 00:13:59.509 --> 00:14:03.490 And she wears this watermelon mask. And I thought 00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:05.980 she was going to be annoying. But I do really 00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:09.320 enjoy her. I think her role is really important. 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.860 And then we also have brothers Kinro and Ginro. 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:16.100 We'll just call them like gold and silver duo. 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:21.299 All the villagers think that Senku is this sorcerer. 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:24.480 And Senku ends up showing them something else 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:30.240 entirely. That he's a scientist. Slowly but surely, 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.850 the kingdom of science begins. If the early episodes 00:14:35.850 --> 00:14:40.710 are about waking up, then I think this next arc 00:14:40.710 --> 00:14:44.769 is all about leveling up. Because this is where 00:14:44.769 --> 00:14:50.009 Dr. Stone becomes a speedrun of human history. 00:14:50.409 --> 00:14:53.570 He is starting to recreate civilization from 00:14:53.570 --> 00:14:58.710 scratch. He is binding and producing iron, creating 00:14:58.710 --> 00:15:02.230 and harnessing electricity. There's glass blowing. 00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:06.919 They created lenses and made ramen. I mean, they 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:11.960 kept doing so much. And eventually, which was 00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.019 the main goal, they were able to make medicine. 00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:20.200 Every invention is a step forward, and every 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.700 breakthrough ends up winning another villager's 00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:27.559 trust, which I really enjoyed. I loved how everybody 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:29.899 wanted to be part of the kingdom of science. 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:34.980 Chrome ends up becoming Senku's right hand. Kaseki 00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:39.120 becomes the backbone of every single invention 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.340 and machine that they need and create. Kohaku 00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:48.080 is a fantastic protector. And Suika becomes basically 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.200 his scout. She just wants to be useful and he 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.220 allows her to. It's really cute. And the village 00:15:56.220 --> 00:16:00.210 does begin to shift. It goes from superstition 00:16:00.210 --> 00:16:06.350 to science. But like science alone doesn't win 00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:10.029 any leadership. The village has its traditions. 00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:13.190 And basically there's this whole deal which decides 00:16:13.190 --> 00:16:17.570 who earns the title of chief. These are the village 00:16:17.570 --> 00:16:21.870 games. It's this tournament arc. It was a lot 00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:24.049 of fun. I definitely thought it was more comedy 00:16:24.049 --> 00:16:27.629 than anything. But it was also very political 00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:32.769 because the winner becomes the next chief. And 00:16:32.769 --> 00:16:36.590 Senku doesn't care about power, but he does care 00:16:36.590 --> 00:16:40.090 about the final ingredient that he needs to make 00:16:40.090 --> 00:16:44.669 antibiotics, which is alcohol. And the winner 00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:48.850 receives like a shit ton from the village. So 00:16:48.850 --> 00:16:52.730 he enters and we all enter. So we have Kinro, 00:16:52.870 --> 00:16:57.519 Ginro, Kohaku, Chrome and Senku taking part in 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:02.620 this tournament. One of the people who plans 00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:06.700 to take everybody out is this guy Magma. And 00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:12.339 he starts off as a total piece of shit. Like 00:17:12.339 --> 00:17:16.839 he wants the priestess who's sick. This is Kohaku's 00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:20.700 sister Ruri. And if you win this tournament, 00:17:20.819 --> 00:17:23.819 you have to marry her and you become the village 00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:27.630 chief. it's again this whole tradition he doesn't 00:17:27.630 --> 00:17:30.990 care if she dies he just wants the village to 00:17:30.990 --> 00:17:34.930 become strong and it's very dark and twisted 00:17:34.930 --> 00:17:39.950 but his view of the world definitely changes 00:17:39.950 --> 00:17:43.069 because of Senku throughout the series which 00:17:43.069 --> 00:17:46.849 i really enjoy because he ended up growing on 00:17:46.849 --> 00:17:50.549 me so much instead of just being an he's actually 00:17:50.549 --> 00:17:54.539 pretty funny And he is going to be a great ally 00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:58.759 and asset in the kingdom of science. Through 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:04.680 a mix of strategy, chaos, and technicalities, 00:18:04.940 --> 00:18:09.599 Senku actually wins. And he becomes the chief. 00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:13.880 And it was so funny because he demands all the 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.880 booze. And as soon as he gets it, he goes, okay, 00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:22.029 I want a divorce. And then bounces. There's never 00:18:22.029 --> 00:18:25.250 been a divorce in the history of this tradition 00:18:25.250 --> 00:18:29.250 at this point. But they are able to make this 00:18:29.250 --> 00:18:32.849 drug for Kohaku's sister. And when they bring 00:18:32.849 --> 00:18:35.910 it to Ruri, at first she gets worse, but then 00:18:35.910 --> 00:18:38.970 she recovers. Because she actually had Pneumonia. 00:18:39.750 --> 00:18:42.930 And in Senku's world, that was very easy to treat. 00:18:43.190 --> 00:18:47.529 But in this stone world, it is a death sentence. 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.420 she ends up revealing something that Senku was 00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:56.880 not expecting at all. And that is the village 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.460 is named Ishigami Village, which is his surname. 00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.640 They go into the Hundred Tales, which are stories 00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:08.440 that were passed down through generations. These 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.500 were created by the astronauts who survived the 00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:14.940 petrification because they weren't on Earth when 00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:19.160 it happened. It was very intense to watch. Because 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.799 it was led by Senku's father. I believe he's 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.839 like his adopted father, not by blood. And the 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:29.680 village exists because his dad knew that Senku 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:34.960 would wake up and rebuild civilization. So he 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:38.700 built a legacy for him. Basically a foundation 00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:45.180 and a community waiting for this spark of science. 00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:50.400 This is definitely the emotional peak of season 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:53.940 one. I was getting very teary‑eyed. It was intense. 00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:58.339 This definitely made the story feel very personal. 00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.119 Because they do not have a very emotional relationship. 00:20:03.299 --> 00:20:05.440 But you can tell that it's definitely hitting 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:09.500 him in ways. So Tsukasa is building an empire 00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:13.920 of strength. Where Senku is building this empire 00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:19.619 of science. And between them stands Gen, who 00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:22.759 is this mentalist who was playing both sides, 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:27.539 but he is ultimately on Team Kingdom of Science. 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:31.660 I really enjoy him. I will say they make some 00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:35.660 weird faces, and he makes some really, really 00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:39.920 creepy faces. But I do enjoy him, and his character 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.779 design is pretty fun. He's wearing this, like, 00:20:43.779 --> 00:20:48.619 purple kimono‑style robe. And he's got very 00:20:48.619 --> 00:20:53.859 jacked up, almost Bungo Stray Dogs Atsushi‑style 00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:57.799 haircut. Like, the bangs are all over the place. 00:20:58.019 --> 00:21:00.279 And I think it's two‑tone. If I recall, it's 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:05.000 black and gray. But I really like him. And the 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.259 Kingdom of Science ends up beginning its biggest 00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:11.180 project, which is working on a cell phone. So 00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:13.619 they have to make all of these different components 00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:18.440 pretty much create like this miracle. And where 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.119 they're at, even though they make all these components, 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:24.519 it's very basic. It's pretty much more like a 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:28.299 landline than anything. But it was pretty, pretty 00:21:28.299 --> 00:21:32.119 impressive. In the end, there is this little 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:36.599 disc and it was a recording. What the recording 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.130 was, was not just Senku's dad. But one of the 00:21:41.130 --> 00:21:47.349 women on the shuttle was this pop star. She definitely 00:21:47.349 --> 00:21:51.470 passed on the genes to Kohaku and her sister 00:21:51.470 --> 00:21:55.029 Ruri because she had blonde hair, blue eyes. 00:21:55.470 --> 00:21:59.730 She was gorgeous and she sang for them and they 00:21:59.730 --> 00:22:03.990 have never heard music before. So it was really, 00:22:04.109 --> 00:22:10.730 really intense. Even though Tsukasa's army has 00:22:10.730 --> 00:22:15.430 been trying to get them and defeat them you know 00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:18.349 they have set fire to their village shit's going 00:22:18.349 --> 00:22:23.730 crazy but no matter what this unity that is forming 00:22:23.730 --> 00:22:28.309 through this bond of science is definitely stronger 00:22:28.309 --> 00:22:33.309 and i believe they're going to be able to counter 00:22:33.309 --> 00:22:37.750 a lot of Tsukasa's strategy and planning i believe 00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:40.980 I think they're going to end up having some serious 00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:44.619 advantages. Based on also knowing the lay of 00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:48.500 the land, these people literally grew up in the 00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:51.559 stone world. So I'm assuming that they would 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:57.960 have a better understanding of the land. But 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.440 that's pretty much where season one leaves us. 00:23:01.019 --> 00:23:04.359 We have a big war coming and we're going to be 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:09.240 reuniting with Taiju and Yuzuriha. I'm sure we'll 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:12.839 get some other allies, hopefully. But in the 00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:18.380 same sense, so will Tsukasa. All in all, this 00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:21.940 show really had me hooked. And I don't even know 00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:28.519 why. But it was so good. And now that I have 00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:32.839 recorded this, I am so excited to jump into season 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:37.359 two. I'm definitely not catching up. For the 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:42.480 spring release. There's no way. I will get to 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.920 it when I get to it. But I am very happy with 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:50.440 this. But speaking of the spring releases. I've 00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:53.859 been all over the place with those. I was under 00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:56.920 the impression. That I was only watching the 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.779 Witch Hat Atelier. And Daemons of the Shadow 00:24:00.779 --> 00:24:05.859 Realm. But then I found the go for it Nakumara. 00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:08.980 That'd be Elle, which I'm not really sure how 00:24:08.980 --> 00:24:12.140 I feel about that one yet. I am going to be doing 00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:16.819 a spring first impressions type of episode, so 00:24:16.819 --> 00:24:20.599 I won't get too much into it now. But I wanted 00:24:20.599 --> 00:24:23.640 to watch Mao, which is going to be on Hulu, which 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:28.559 I don't have. And then there was the Riddle of 00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:31.440 the Great Sage or something like that, and I 00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.509 cannot find out where to watch that. So basically, 00:24:35.529 --> 00:24:40.289 I've only added the BL to my spring lineup. So 00:24:40.289 --> 00:24:44.150 I do have three shows now. I'm not sure if I'm 00:24:44.150 --> 00:24:47.369 going to finish the Go For It one. It is very 00:24:47.369 --> 00:24:51.690 campy, so we'll see. If you've made it this far, 00:24:51.910 --> 00:24:54.490 thanks for hanging out with me. Don't forget 00:24:54.490 --> 00:24:58.529 to check out on Tuesdays. I upload the recaps 00:24:58.529 --> 00:25:01.910 following this current season of Witch Hat Atelier. 00:25:02.569 --> 00:25:04.609 I will put a link in the description for that 00:25:04.609 --> 00:25:08.109 until next time. I will see you then.
