Are any of you watching this beautiful cartoon?

I adore it. My sister suggested it and I immediately fell in love. And there's so much to love! The characters, the representation, the themes, the art, the colors, the super powers! And the music, of course. Stronger Than You is now one of my all time favorite songs, not to mention Strong In The Real Way. (They have a lot of songs about strength, huh....)

Whose your favorite character? Does anyone have a gemsona?

I'm quite fond of it. I didn't like it at first but that's because I really didn't give it a chance. Actually watched a few episodes in a sitting and loved it.
My friend gave me a link so now I can watch all the episodes and catch up to the new ones.
My favorite is Garnet

Mine too! As well as every part of Garnet. :mcwink: Have you seen the episode with Stevonnie? Garnet's face when she met Stevonnie was so wonderful! When I watched it I called my sister and was like "LOOK! GARNET SHIPS PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME!"

I watch it now and then with my children,
however I am not overly fond of it.
I like Adventure Time better lol.
It's not a bad cartoon though,
my kids seem to like it a lot.

I know! Did you watch the latest episode, Story for Steven? I loved seeing Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl in their earlier incarnations!

No, it's a show on Cartoon Network. You might be thinking of Bee and Puppycat, which shares some staff members I think?

And Steven Universe is so popular because it's AWESOME!

No, but seriously...there are a lot of things that make Steven Universe AWESOME. Like the breathtaking background art, the strong well-thought-out plot lines, the pitch perfect voice acting.

The fact that not only is it created by the first credited female creator in Cartoon Network history, but her actual name is Rebecca Sugar. Her last name is SUGAR. You don't get more adorable than that.

It was also heavily inspired by anime like Revolutionary Girl Utena and, like Avatar the Last Airbender, takes the best that anime has to offer while still keeping the best of western-style animation.

And one other thing...the central cast is a non-traditional family with three moms, all of whom are technically agendered but present as female. One of the characters is the literal embodiment of a healthy committed queer relationship and if that wasn't enough she's also a woman of color! Who is the leader! Think she's the token minority? Think again! The characters on this show come in every color and creed and each and every one of them is treated with decency and respect by the writers! It's as if they think someone being queer or a different ethnicity doesn't have to be the totality of their story! As if they thought little kids might benefit from seeing someone on tv who looks like them being treated like an equal and having adventures!

Clearly I am very passionate about this show, and I could go on. But I think should stop, because I am getting way too pumped up about this.

yes the same channel that released bee and puppycat! the character for the Steveb Uni shows up often on their vid's thumbnail... those are the vids I avoid. I mean the art is really.... errrrr I can't think of a nice way to say this...

well lets just say I wasn't impressed so I'm kindda wondering if we're talking about the same show
