Dr. Stone 12
SCORE: 70
I am so thankful I had the money to purchase Dr. Stone 12. I have
been really digging where this franhise has been going. All of this work
to setup for the voyage across the sea. We start out Dr. Stone 12
expecting to find out that the crew of the ship are on their way across
the ocean to find the secret of turning people into stone. Please note
there will be spoilers in this review. I am very disappointed at one of
the twists in Dr. Stone 12.
Instead of spending all this time at sea, and learning how to fish and
all of that we go to a close island in Dr. Stone 12. This is the island
where the astronauts landed after the entire human population was turned
into stone. A small group of the characters disembark in Dr. Stone 12.
Then the crew of the ship is turned to stone. The power of petrification
is on this little island. How exactly did that happen? At this point it
feels like lazy writing to me. After all so much more could have been
done before we hit the secret of petrification.
The issues families will have with Dr. Stone 12 are violence, lack of
attire, enticement to lust, women trying to seduce men, and more. The
big boss is on this island and is the one with the power of turning
people to stone. Senku and the others come up with a plan to take him
down from the inside. They must worry about two warriors that have the
power to launch something that turns humans into stone. Why are they
doing this? Only to keep power and have his own harem?
I love the whole taking pictures and sailing on the giant ship in Dr.
Stone 12. It was very smart to have a mobile science laboratory on the
ship in Dr. Stone 12. I also love how some of the ship building problems
are solved in Dr. Stone 12. I did not expect the power of petrification
to appear so fast in Dr. Stone 12. It almost feels like a few more books
and Dr. Stone could be completely done. Which I find a bit of a shame.
Plenty of well known art within Dr. Stone 12. The characters Senku and
team meet and the problems they deal with seem trivial now. I hope the
people on the mainland are doing well. Once we leave them in Dr. Stone
12 we do not go back. We have no clue how things are going there without
Senku’s leadership. I plan on continuing to read this manga franchise
and see where it goes.
