an anime would be cool but only if it's not like black clover levels of filler

it seems like it would be more like mha, and they just adapt the existing completed arc and then stop until more material is available.

We're nearly done with the second major arc so that's enough material for a season or two.

Also yeah, other than One Piece are there any shonen animes left that stick to the "an episode every week, for the next 20 years" model? It seems like the industry pretty much embraced the 12/24 episode model by this point.

there was way more than that to go on for black clover tho

the deciding factor isn't how much backlog there is; it's what studio the adaption is given to

Obviously Naruto/Boruto and maybe Pokemon if you want to count it too.

it's gotta be related to a bunch of committee meeting stuff more than just the studio. even Pierrot isn't exclusively doing long-runners, there are plenty of recent adaptations that ran for one or two cours.

Toei is the one studio that comes to mind where I'd expect a full-year run, based mostly on their track record with Toriko and World Trigger, but those are also the only two WSJ adaptations they've picked up in the past decade. if you throw OLM in, i don't think they've done anything WSJ so it seems like a stretch.

Detective Conan is still going? Have they even made any progress on the main plot or have they decided to just stick to case-of-the-week things for the foreseeable future?

That's not how the Triangle Attack works...
Conan main plog progress is insanely slow but it's there, I think like 2-3 arcs per year are dedicated to it. There was a lot of lore dropping happening recently that connected a bunch of pre-existing characters into the main plot so it seems like it's building to a big reveal involving the second in command of the organization. The big issue right now is the author is taking several hiatuses.

This is a really good way to go at the petrifying mystery and fits perfectly in the setting. Much better than a sudden third group showing up.

That said, I hope Senku has one hell of a good theory as to where this petrification stuff came from because I'm not sure how long Tsukasa's gonna last with his lung all hosed up. It's just an Anime Wound and he's Really Strong though, so he'll probably hang in there while they do some science.

One thing that I really love about this series is just how well they're able to weave together silly and serious. One page you've got characters posing dramatically with well-defined faces and expressions, and then on the next they're doing a Tex Avery wild take. And it just works.

Great stuff in this chapter:

Hyouga getting zapped (carries over from last chapter)
Senku + Tsukasa high-five
Yuzuriha reveals the massive pile of shattered statues
The cell phone is fixed and they contact the village
The last few pages setting up the third arc


Also, I didn't realize that upcoming announcement is next week, not this week.

it's surprising how effectively they handled some of tsukasa's face turn by making it clear not that he was misguided, but that he definitely knew the weight of what he was doing and was doing it with at least some amount of manly japanese respect

plus it turned out it didn't matter because yuzuriha is a crazy person

Technically Senku is the craziest person since he came up with the idea. I don't think anyone but him would have even considered that an option. But one cannot understate Yuzuriha's formidable craziness for agreeing to do it.

Get excited!

It's so cool that all of my favorite Jump manga are getting anime. It's unfortunate what happened to Black Clover, but I hope We Never Learn, The Promised Neverland, and Dr. Stone all get more of the Haikyu treatment and less of the Toriko/Black Clover/World Trigger treatment. They're shorter series' though, so I have higher expectations compared to long running battle manga.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
The biggest issue I see with a Dr. Stone anime is people dropping it early based on the initial presentation of Taiju as the protagonist, and the only good stopping point for a first season being just after the reigns switch over to Senku, when he discovers Ishigami Village.

That said I'm incredibly excited. Dr. Stone is such a unique spin on shonen and deserves to shine with a good anime.

I'm hoping the first season continues all the way to the end of the tournament, or even the astronauts final fates. Or even better, 24 episodes till the end of the Stone Wars.

Absolutely agree on the latter, it has more than earned a quality adaptation and I hope it finds the kind of success Haikyu and My Hero Academia did after their anime.

I don't think it would take a whole season for them to reach the Senku/Taiju breaking point though. I just checked and the Taiju/Senku split is only 13 chapters into the series. Even something as slow as One Piece could cover that in a season, but any decently paced adaptation could do that in half the time.

I honestly don't know where they'd cut it with a 12/13 episode season, but if they get a 24-26 episode run then they could easily get up to to the end of the tournament or right up to before the Stone Wars arc, either of those would make a great ending.

Senku discovers the village at like chapter 15 or so. Stopping the first season there would mean going like a chapter an episode.
