This is so BAD! Where are the power levels? The flashy fight scenes? Why didn't they show MC's tragic backstory that drives him to be a hero? Nit.. Net ... Natric acid? What's that? A power up? How can someone appreciate this?
>Why didn't they show MC's tragic backstory that drives him to be a hero? I'm not even asking for that much, just exploring the characters any deeper than "science promoter and his reactive everyman" would be nice.

In this anime, everything is valued in SCIENCE POINTS (SP). The more SCIENCE POINTS (SP) you have, the stronger you are.
Lincoln Long
I would like this manga if it didn't have the shonen tone thats so over the top its nearly a parody of shounen.
Ian Lopez
Incorrect A waterwheel is 20 SP but that won’t save you against an enemy with a 5 SP Japanese Sword
Unless you have enough SP to lift the waterwheel and use it as a weapon.
Carter Rodriguez
There’s still an originally 15 SP gap that doesn’t add up
Dominic King
>shonen babbies are bullied in school >sink away into power fantasy cartoons to escape >a new shonen anime starts up >all the other shonen fans try their hardest to bully the newcomer fanbase as hard as they can I bet you lot are the kind of people who become mall cops so you can push people around like you were as children.
Aaron James
I don’t disagree but >newcomer
Carson Russell
I don’t usually say this but it’s literally the Rick and Morty of anime. This garbage trying to be smart is laughable.
Jack Cruz
Can you show parallels and examples?
Mason Allen
Why can he only draw one style of MC? Not every character needs giant super saiyan hair.
Elijah Stewart
So Dr. Stone threads are going to be full of retarded shounenfags this season? Great
Wyatt Carter
Shonen isnt power fantasy its just the kind of shit young boys like as proven by garbage like Dragon Gonads becoming extremely popular.
Hunter Anderson
Any WSJ adaptation is doomed to have shit threads regardless of how good it may be, since various "rival" fanbases feel threatened and have to defend their favorite shounen's honor.
Some were/are fine though but I guess it's popular enough to attract the retards.
Angel Clark
I wouldn't quite say its Rick and Morty tier, but its certainly got that 'try to appear smart by regurgitating wikipedia articles' bit that nips like to do. I'm sure the intended audience being literal elementary schoolers doesn't leave the author much choice, though.
Ryder Cooper
watch longer than the first episode, then
Zachary Hill
anything involving science = rick and morty, its literally civ but in anime form
Blake Stewart
>claims to feel the need to respond to bait >no response
Landon Morales
>using scientific theories in practice (sometimes failing) in a science-based manga bad How would YOU do it?
Caleb Robinson
It's not the usage of scientific theories, it's the need to info dump every trivial detail about said theories. Most people who would actually do these kinds of things wouldn't be assed to explain what they're doing, especially to a known meathead. They'd just say "I'm making nitric acid, go grab me some bat shit."
Again, since the author needs to assume their audience is comprised of 12-year olds, they can't really expect them to know how to go and look up what nitric acid is, so we're left with a long info dump of why the characters are using it and how it's made. If this were targeted at adults, the long explanations wouldn't be necessary and the plot could move forward at a quicker pace.

>It's not the usage of scientific theories, it's the need to info dump every trivial detail about said theories. Imagine being this autistic. Thankfully, I can't
Ryan Gomez
Does his shirt actually have E=mc2 written on it?
Jaxon Miller
Consider this: 1. Realistically most of the people Senku talked to would actually want to know and it helps in the long run when the other characters remember in future chapters 2. Japanese children now know how to dissolve bodies
Colton Hill
Yeah, he's really smart you see
Carter Sanders
>I need every detail explained to me because I am incapable of independent thought My bad, forgot I was talking to a shonen fan for a second.
Thomas Roberts
You absolute retard, the exposition is for the characters since MC's sole purpose is to spread science knowledge everywhere
Shonen is an age demographic the particular media targets. In this case little to teenage boys. I can’t help but chuckle at you fags, real men read shoujo
Grayson Sullivan
Cant take this shit seriously with ridiculous Shounen designs like that.
Also this: This fucking genre is cancer and its audience are literal traumatized little cucks.
Go ahead I’m just asking you to explain your position with actual evidence instead of coming off as a pseud
Alexander Perez
I hate boichi's funny faces. Looks way too much like a different arstyle and it doesn't convey expressions as well as simple faces like the one the guy on the bottom left is doing.
Owen Jones
There is a tragic story, if you weren't anime only . . .
Andrew Hughes
Shounenbabbies like you dont get the irony.
Kevin Hill
I would start by NOT having the MC write E=mc2 on his shirt like an elementary school retard
