Well, a love for Dr Stone is a love for science. I don't know how old your brother is, but when I was a kid in the 90's science kits were way more common. I've seen some in Walmart and there's this $5 store called 5 below that has some but I'll look on Amazon and see what relevant kits I can find.

here's a telescope for $33. Senku's thing is space. Space is awesome. You may also consider seeing if your local college has a telescope, I was surprised to find out that mine does and it's open to the public!

Here's a crystal growing kit. Chrome loves rocks.

Here's a microscope and here's the one I lusted after after I saw one on TechTV Screensavers $18 so cheap now! Tempting...

Electronics kit!! I had one of these! My parents threw it away because they said I was obsessive about it.. now I watch Big Clive tear apart garden lights... Senku make a radio too, which I think you can make a crystal AM radio with this kit if I remember correctly.

Downvotes... downvotes everywhere.

You're a little vicious in your critique, but I don't think you're wrong. I thought this was going to be the manga version of Primitive Technology; I loved watching them go into detail on how they were building up from 0.

But... then the village came up and I thought 'oh, maybe some of them got out of their shells early? Decided that technology was to blame for their predicament and decided to 'start anew' instead?' 'Oh... it's from his father. Who's an astronaut. Who puts his faith in his child who is turned into stone, and has no way of knowing whatsoever if it's possible to reverse the process.'

^(ensuing rant... ye have been warned...)

Like they couldn't have started trying to reverse the process themselves? The technological retrieval would have bean an awesome idea. You've just established the opportunity to completely reboot society to be more aware of the earth, the affects technology & society has on it, you've just completely stopped all carbon emissions, and allowed the animal kingdom to flourish (invasive species notwithstanding), and establish a society with all the benefits of the last 200k years.

Starting from 0 with some of the most intelligent minds on the planet who are literally trained constantly to face insane scenarios. Anyone who's read Chris Hadfield's book knows the amount of crazy situations they come up with D&D style just to play out how to survive. (eg: you're on the ISS, someone has just broken their leg and is losing blood... roll dice okay, a fire just broke out. You can't handle both. What do you do?)

They are problem solvers to the nth degree, who stare down the absolute worst case scenario, plan for it, and are always moving forward. No one in their right mind would rely on a child who may or may not be alive to 'rebuild society' when you have that much talent at your fingertips.


There really is so much I'm happy to accept (3700 year old trees; the complete absence of structures; the massively changed landscape... even if Japan does live near a fault) for the sake of watching these characters deal with a tough situation. I'll be curious to see where it goes (maybe someone in their team or folks who survived underground did try to make a mainland society). But... now it feels cheapened.
