Dr. Stone Watch Order
8 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Dcst
The Dr. Stone watch order runs across seven episode blocks and one special, opening with the 24-episode first season before the story splits into shorter cours. After the debut season, continue with the first 11-episode block, then the Dr. STONE Special Episode – RYUSUI, which bridges directly into the next arc and should be watched in that slot rather than saved for later. From there the correct chronological order continues through the remaining 11-episode and 12-episode runs and closes on the final 13-episode block. Senku Ishigami's mission to rebuild civilization from stone-age scratch using science stays perfectly linear, so there is no airing-versus-chronological conflict to untangle — you simply follow the seasons in sequence. If you are figuring out where to start, begin with Episodes 1-24 and let the RYUSUI special fall into place between the second and third stretches of episodes.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.
