This Season of Anime Is One Big, Fun Science Lesson

“Educational entertainment” usually ends up sacrificing one of these things for the other. You either get a dull but highly educational story, or one that emphasizes entertainment but ends up blending facts or forgetting to teach you something altogether. But sometimes, you get a series that endeavors to provide fantastic stories that also teach us about science. (And more effectively than school.) We’ve seen that a lot this winter season of anime, particularly in
Cells at Work,
Heaven’s Design Team, and
Dr. Stone. What these series have in common is an unequivocal admiration and love of science in all forms, and a desire to genuinely teach audiences something.
