still, i find it kind of odd that they wouldn't have developed music on their own in 3700 years, especially since their ancestor was a singer...

That's not the impression I got.  Just that they never heard a song this good!

Nice, the song from the space station concert.

2 million years of humanity... Chrome constantly says bad like it's the 90s.

the use of slang in this show bothers me just slightly less than everyone speaking 90's/2000's slang in Inuyasha despite it being medieval Japan

Yuzuriha didn't let her hair grow back after all this time? 😧

Uhhh there's spies right there spying on the spies!

Season 2 confirmed.  Well that's great to hear, but we still have to wait for it!  And final battle.  Maybe this manga will be shorter than some others.

Kinda odd that no form of music had been invented by the village. Also that their minds wouldn't be even more blown pretty much hearing their original ancestors; the bunch that made a village of inbred hillbillies. 

yeah this villiage is a bit TOO stupid by human standards....inbreeding aside most human inventions are the result of humans realizing things would be better if they had better technology and trying to make shit themselves

 

so the only reason these humans wouldn't AT LEAST be back to a victorian style society by the time Senku woke up would be that there was something actively stopping scientific progress

Then turning a record by hand would probably sound like shit. You have to have a consistent speed. Too slow and it sounds like a demon, too fast and it's the chipmunks, then there would be an issue with the audio quality.

They already made the water wheel and can hook all sorts of things up to it.  Old factories were often powered by a single source of power, with belts and things coming off it across the whole building.  Why are they still doing stuff by hand?

Also.. how do they have under 100 people in 3000 years? And coming from a genetic pool of 6 people? 

70k years ago humanity may have dipped to 1000 people and almost went extinct. So we went from 1000 to almost 8 bil in 70k years but they went from 6 to 100 in 3000? EH?

Victorian may be a bit much just because of the small number of people. That being said there should be far more people in that village, and possibly sister villages started by people leaving the village.

Unless the survival rate in that region is VERY low.

Man I really did not expect they'd be absent from the show for so long.

Man, @OwlChemist81 you must have hit like on this post right as I was reading through the thread and clicked to see who liked the post.  It said you and DangerMouse had liked the post, but it only showed one like, and I was like what the fuck.  Then I saw for yours it said "just now."  I then refreshed the page it showed 2 likes.

What are the chances?!

For Inuyasha himself, I think they really wanted to put over the thing of him being a rebellious hooligan.  But Sango, Miroku, and pretty much everyone else speak in a more formal way of the era.

In this show, it is the future, so who knows what all slang could have survived until then.

I never got the impression that the villagers had never heard music before, just that they never heard a song this great before and were really moved by it.

When we first saw Kohaku, I just assumed she was someone else who had broken free from the stone, and had been living on her own for a while.  I never imagined she was from some village.  When we learned that she came from a village, I figured the village was the result of a population of people being freed from the stone a few hundred years ago.  It would explain the village's existence, and the relative recency in time explains why they couldn't use anything leftover from civilization to continue it, and why the village was only this advanced now.

I also never really thought this was the only village like this.  They did have a rule about outsiders, and how could there be any outsiders if there were no other humans?

Buuuut it turns out this village are descended from astronauts from the International Space Station, and apparently this is the only human settlement in existence on the Earth at this point.  So why there is a concept of outsiders, much less a rule for them, I don't know.

The big thing I don't get, is the only thing affected by the petrification were humans and swallows.  All the buildings, infrastructure, technology, etc still existed.  Sure, they could not save everything, but why couldn't the founders preserve and make use of enough of it to continue civilization, if not where it left off, at least someplace better than this village when Senku found it?

And even if things did have to reset to the state of the very first human villages, with even little to no physical remains of civilization, they had the knowledge to build and do stuff.  They had the Hundred Tales, even, but didn't do anything with that. 

But, even with the founders somehow being unable or unwilling to make any technology, and the Hundred Tales info being hoarded and/or not acted on, people would have and should have advanced some things on their own.  Granted, the vast majority of human history was really primitive, was slow to advance at first, and early advances took longer than more recent ones, but still.

And yes, the population should be much larger than 100 or few hundred or whatever this village is, by now.
