Hulu – The Future of Television
Hulu Plus’ anticipation mode allows viewers to set up notifications so they can watch shows before they air - weeks before, even! This makes it very easy for impatient fans to keep up with upcoming anime series without having to scramble to find where it streams online; Dr. Stone’s second season started a month after Japan in July 2017 but had no official announcement here at that time. You could have waited out hope by keeping an eye on Crunchyroll and Funimation’s websites… or used Hulu’s anticipatory mode if you knew enough Japanese to guess when Drrr!!: 3-Gatsu no Tou came out next. ..
Dr. Stone: Where to watch it for free?
Dr. Stone is an anime TV series that aired in 2018, part of a relatively new subgenre of reverse harem shows (most famously Death Note). Some streaming services carry Dr. Stone and some don’t—which one should you use? Here’s a breakdown of where to watch Dr. Stone online for free or cheap, based on what country you live in and whether you want to watch with subtitles or dubbing. Let’s get started!
Netflix US
If you live in the United States, your best option is to subscribe to Netflix. You can also use your American credentials to get a trial for a month before you need to provide payment details (after that, billing will be automatic). This might change when Dr. Stone Season 2 drops—you may be able to watch it on Hulu (see below) and if so I’d suggest switching over immediately because free anime plus no ads is a great deal! ..
Crunchyroll US
Story plot of Dr. Stone
After a mysterious worldwide disaster called The Great Cataclysm, Japan has been cut off from most of the world, leaving it in a feudal state. Several years later, each village is protected by a giant stone God that watches over them and fights for them. The protagonist, Senku Ishigami, is an 11-year-old prodigy who’s just discovered how to create steel. Since he wants to rebuild civilization using science instead of Gods, he names himself after his village’s guardian deity: Dr Stone! He goes on an adventure with his friends and fellow scientists to find out what happened to the world and how they can fix it with science!
The show is set in a future world where science has advanced to the point where humans can travel to other planets and explore their ecosystems. However, the planet they are on is in a state of chaos, and the only way to fix it is by sending a team of scientists to explore the planet and find its solutions. The team consists of Dr. Stone, a scientist who has been working on fixing problems on the planet for years; his assistant; Wong; a martial artist who can fight with any creature on the planet; and an alien named Ein Sof, who helps Dr. Stone with his research. Although it’s an original story, it has several homages to different science fiction works like Marvel Comics, X-Men and Back to The Future, so I think that kind of vibe would translate well for an American audience! The opening credits are in Japanese, so you can either enjoy a show with Japanese anime tropes without having to learn a new language or wait until it gets dubbed in English! Either way, you’ll love Dr. Stone because there’s never been anything quite like it before!
TV shows are not always available online, but they are always in development and they will keep you updated on their progress. Hulu is not always the best option for watching TV shows, so be sure to check out their website for more suggestions. If a show is added to Netflix or another streaming service, be sure to stay updated on the release date and new releases.
Netflix and Hulu are both streaming services that you can use to watch anime. However, Crunchyroll is a different service that offers free episodes of anime. Just like Netflix and Hulu, you need to have a subscription before you can watch them online.
The Story of Dr. Stone is always available to subscribers, just like always.
If you’re thinking about watching The Story of Dr. Stone with a child who’s 12 or younger, be sure to check out our Parental Guide before you stream it.
