Tamal Kundu
Developed from a manga series written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by the South Korean artist Boichi, ‘Dr. Stone’ is a science fiction dystopian TV anime. The story begins when science genius Senkū Ishigami wakes up in April 5738 A.D. He soon realizes that he has been petrified for more than 3,700 years along with the rest of humanity. After spending several months trying to find out what caused his de-petrification, he discovers that it happened due to nitric acid. Ishigami subsequently prepares a concoction that immediately brings people out of the petrification. He then frees his best friend Taiju Ōki; Yuzuriha Ogawa, a boy who used to go to the same school as them, and Tsukasa Shishiō, an accomplished martial artist. Ishigami’s plan to return the world to its scientific and technological glory soon faces opposition from Tsukasa, who ardently believes that man’s pursuit of scientific excellence was the reason behind the mass petrification.
