Crunchyroll just debuted the new anime series Dr. Stone, which was based off of the long-running manga series by Riichiro Inagaki. I was able to catch the premiere this morning, and here are my thoughts on the new series. Aw, geez.

One of the biggest challenges I come across when reviewing anime is the length of the titles. It almost seems like a competition to see which show can pull off the longest title.
