Pretty good and very entertaining, but also flawed

Dr. Stone (Season 1 and overall) is a VERY entertaining anime. There's a lot of real-world chemistry, physics and overall science with some elements of fictitious fantasy, so it's both entertaining as it is educational. The writing is decent, but also very "shounen-style simplistic", making it clear who the main target audience is.

Do I recommend it? Depends. Do you like shounen in general? Then go for it, this is way above your average shounen. Do you like it when couples are properly done? Then be ready to be irritated by a lot of crap, plus the usual shounen-style "throw bait at first few episodes, hook the viewer, now switch focus and don't resolve anything until the series is no longer popular and ends on episode 1 billion".
