Steven Universe is a children's animated television show created by Rebecca Sugar. Rebecca Sugar is known for the work she had done on Pendleton Ward's Adventure Time. It's been running for almost a full season now; the show first premiered in November of last year.
The cartoon follows the titular character, Steven Universe, as he tries to develop his powers as a Crystal Gem. The Crystal Gems are a group of supernatural female warriors who guard the world from danger. The four Gems are Amethyst, Pearl, Garnet, and Steven. All of the Gems are female, except Steven, who inherited his gem from his mother, Rose Quartz. Steven spends the show trying to discover the powers contained in his Gem, while also having fun around his hometown, Beach City.

When I heard that Rebecca Sugar was getting her own cartoon, I was super excited! She has worked on Adventure Time, as stated. She worked on a lot of my favorite episodes of the show, including I Remember You, and both of the Fionna and Cake episodes.

She has shown that her abilities in both writing and art are above the rest, which is apparent in Steven Universe. The writing is smart, and all of the characters are likable, which is what I seek in the shows I watch. The characters are all distinctive, so you'd never mistake one character for another.

Here's the pilot of Steven Universe, and the first episode that premiered on television. Notice how much different the art styles are, and how much the show changed during production. If you've watched Adventure Time, you'll see how much the pilot resembles the show, while the actual series has an art style that shows that the series is distinguishing itself from AT.

A clip from the show:

I love this show! It's really cute and I love how even when Steven messes up the Gems don't get mad or blame him.

Steven's been put on hold for the month of june, so hopefully he'll make a return this month. <:3c

I hope so too!

I binge watched this on youtube. Great series. I like the character development. :)

Indeed! The creators really know how to flesh out a character.

Also I find my self humming "All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman" XD Like way to often.

I was doing that this afternoon! XD

I absolutely love the show and after seeing tonight's episode I'm kinda fangirling/spazzing out about it. Does anyone else watch it? =3

Hello everyone! I wanted to start a Steven Universe thread, since I wasn't sure if there was one or not. Pleas have spoiler alerts since I've just started watching it and for anyone new to. Also feel free to discuss your favorite gyms (even Steven Universe).

I'm glad to see a Steven Universe thread already started!! I absolutely love all of the characters, but my favorite has to be Garnet!

Since the creation of this thread, Steven Universe has become one of my favorite cartoons! In fact, I got a steven universe tattoo yesterday.

Looks like that got rid of 'em. now for some tunes, shazelblue: rebeccasugar in case you missed...

I love this show so much thanks to tumblr. I have seen the pilot and was confused by the differences between the pilot and first episode. I haven't seen to much of Adventure Time, but I love everything about Steven Universe even the characters with all their unique characteristics.

Oh gosh, I'm glad you love the show, Ota! :3

I do love it alot, I just watched the episode with Sugilite last night, and the one were Sadie got hurt by Lars. All of the episodes are really good, but I wonder when Jasper and Lapis start to show up.

They show up later, but for now enjoy the time before they appear. ;)

Too late I already watched an episode with Lapis Lazuli, thats crazy how she was trapped, I wondered why that gem was cracked.

SPOILERX

It kinda blew my mind that Garnet is a full time fusion.

I told my sister and she said, "You didn't see the hints?" And i'm all like, "No. What, so you knew?" And she said, "I kinda guessed."

And I said she was a liar. A dirty, dirty liar.

*snoops around Eli's Tumblr*

i love this show

Me to I got see an awesome fusion, but I won't spoil it lol

I hope you don't mind finding bad things on my tumblr. :u

What do you mean by bad things on your tumblr?

Man I am on episode 44 of Steven Universe, why is this show so addicting?

I've got a friend who's in love with this show, and I've been watching parts of it with him. I really enjoy it and find it inspiring since I"d like to do a cartoon series one day. I haven't had time to watch it on my own and I think I'm around episode 20 or so, watching it with my friend. But I've seen some things on tumblr that are ahead of me, and it's like daaaang. (I don't know how you guys feel about spoilers but I"m going to hide this one, just in case; it's about gem fusions... I don't know what season or episode it's from since I just saw it on tumblr.)

SPOILERX

I've gotten to the episodes when Amethyst and Pearl fused and it was great, and then to where Garnet and Amethyst fused and it was awesome, but then I saw on tumblr that Garnet is a fusion, and that messed me up! Like, I think it's awesome, but I was blown away -- I hadn't even considered that a possibility! My friend was very offended that I had this spoiled for me, oops.
