Senku somehow ended up in what looks like a bat cave (Given that he was on the second floor of the school building when the flash happened, its weird in itself that he survived what likely was the collapse of a building over time, leading into the formation of a natural cave), which would have only provided the acid. the part that you mention is basically the anime 'willpower is OP' bullshit part i can forgive...it is fiction after all. but everything else i said is still relevant. 5 people turning into a civilization could have researched the problem over decades with the tools that were still functional instead of just putting all there bets on 'oh i believe the people are alive in the stone and one day they will start to break out naturally' lets just teach them how to make fire then die.
wow was not expecting dr. stone to actually get some strong emotional reactions out of me. As a whole I only think it's kind of above average and that's mostly based on the inspired premise, but that was a good backstory in the last two episodes.
I read the manga, so I assume you're talking about

Oh absolutely, the other stuff you said is still relevant. I responded to the part that I had an actual answer for, is all.
I was re-reading a bunch of "Actually I Am..." because I had some free time and it's really good.
I think Akane might be my favorite character? She's essentially the secretly-good-hearted prankster trope, but with both the "secretly-good-hearted" and "prankster" bits turned up to 11. It's also good because her pranks rarely stop or regress the plot, and usually move it forward instead (except in regards to Akari's love life). Plus the bit in Chapter 82 where Akari returns home from the field trip and Akane is acting weirdly nice so you know she did something horrible but nothing can prepare you for what she actually did. Or how she's the most powerful character in the series, but the only time she uses what is probably her strongest ability is to...try and cook baked potatoes faster.
It also doesn't hurt that she probably gets some of the best facial expressions in the series.
Sequel series set in college when? I especially want to see...
Them having to deal with pregnant Youko and the eventual vampire baby while juggling their studies and all the craziness their social lives bring. Also I want Aizawa to get a better ending.

Has there ever been anything set in college? I feel like if that were to happen, Japan would spontaneously combust.
Not so many, but there are a few I can think of (though honestly most probably aren't safe for the thread). There is "Cigarette & Cherry" and "Kanojo, Okarishimasu" though.
It does seem to be a bit of a blindspot with most things being high school or in the work force (or a NEET) though.

Does Japan have a typical college? Thought university was all they have because of their education system.
I mean those terms are used pretty interchangeably in english.
But the post high school university life is what most people would mean when they say college and they definitely have that in Japan. Getting in just seems to be the most important part there.
With my original post, I was thinking that with like 200 chapters in the original manga, I thought "Actually I Am..." would be a good candidate for a college sequel since it already has a built-in fanbase.
Plus...
...it already proved you don't need to drag out the "will they/won't they" bit since Asahi and Youko got together before the manga was even halfway over, so you could easily continue it especially since they'll have new challenges with the baby and such.

Byakuya and the space station?
yup. what can I say I am a sucker baby for familial love.
The big advantage of doing a collage/university setting is you have a school setting without having to show them in class. Also your characters can drink, smoke, or be in a relationship that is past holding hands without any pearl clutching.

A town where you live by seo kouji follows a couple for 8 or 9 years, hs, college and entering the work force.
You know for a show that likes to focus on science, I find it funny that Dr. Stone:
Glosses over how extremely screwed a population consisting of only six genetic donors would be, especially when four of those donors only managed to have four children between them before croaking. If you want to try and avoid the problems of extreme inbreeding you'd need to have as many kids as possible with as many possible mating pairs as possible. But in the scenario presented you have one possible mating pair and four children left so your odds become even worse than before. The only net positive they'd have going for them is being astronauts from different parts of the globe their starting inbreeding coefficients would be close to as low as you get. I guess maybe at some point in the story that'll come up and there will be some reveal or something.

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

Well apparently genetic damage only comes out in this world as the ability to kick a football inbetween the females eyes.

Almost forgot about Grand Blue which is about collage students who spend all their time drinking.
I found it super entertaining how this is a manga about scuba diving, except that it's actually about male nudity, except that it's actually about drinking, except that it's, (buried fairly deeply behind some (okay, mostly one) pretty iffy characters), about friendship.
and facial expressions, of one kind:
and another (SFW, but possibly a bit unexpected)

Finally had time and marathoned season 6 of RWBY. Still pretty good. It's interesting to see the art shift again.

Personally, college was the only time in my life when being an otaku felt acceptable. (Also, it was where I got into V:TM, since it had a thriving LARP scene.)

Yeah they're definitely getting better and better utilizing Maya now that they've dropped poser.
Separate from the visuals, watching this compared to anime, I'm wondering if it's translation or cultural, but the characters in RWBY say "I love you" and physically express non-romantic affection (hugs/hand holding etc.) way more than any anime I can remember in a while.

that uh has nothing to do what I was talking about.
I got confused until I actually clicked through into the link
I'm pretty sure Pip was referring to the semi-titular antagonist in Parasite Eve, an anime-ass horror-RPG where the "science" such as it is makes absolutely no sense and just serves as a vehicle for the story
And for them to say "mitochondria" like, a LOT.

A lot of series are set in college. Their target demographics are people in college or who've just graduated.
A ton of stuff seems to be set in high schools because that's the target audience a lot of the time.
I mean those terms are used pretty interchangeably in english.

just nowhere near as many as there are about highschoolers
