Steven Universe

Does anyone else watch this show? Because it's amazing, and it's got a lot of the animators who I've followed from other projects (or from way back in the day), and it's just fantastic.

I heard of it, basically nothing but good things about it, but I've never checked it out.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

You should certainly check it out. It's one of my favorites in a long while.

Soooooo....

As of the last month or two, this show has gone from great to absolutely fucking phenomenal. I can't get enough of it, and it's very swiftly risen to being my favourite show in like a million different ways. Right now, I can't stop watching this preview clip: http://micthemicrophone.tumblr.com/post/115410982758/bryko-story-for-steven-clip

I've been meaning to check this out for a while, but I haven't got around to it yet. The Utena references alone are enough to get me interested - Utena is my favorite show ever (definitely check it out if you're into genre subversion) - and I've heard good stuff about it overall so I guess I better get on it.

I finally checked out and caught up with the series earlier this year, definitely a great series worth watching, especially if you're an anime and video game fan.

Speaking of which, one of the storyboard artists is Ian Jones-Quartey who used ta do a FFVII-inspired webcomic called RPG World that's had a little easter egg or two in a few of the episodes.

Heh, what a coincidence, I actually follow the writer of that article on Tumblr. She also does recaps/reviews of each episode when they air.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Whaaaat!? Do you have a link to her tumblr, so that I can check it out?

An official soundtrack is coming out: http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...n-universe-soundtrack-20170412-htmlstory.html


Also, the latest episodes were absolutely fucking incredible.

Adore this show. About to bingewatch season 4 for the first time. Looking forward to surprises galore!

So this is where I duck out to avoid spoilers.

PS: People often say I'm what would happen if Peridot and Pearl ever fused.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Looking forward to your Season 4 thoughts when you get through it!!! (Also, that is a pretty grand statement about fusions, and I think you'll enjoy that comparison even more as you keep watching).

I know this is unfair, but I wanted to get into this show, but the one person I met that a super big fan of the show, well, she turned out to be an unfettered psychopath.

Is it good?

Its a show with a lot of fun and a lot of heart, and a ton of depth.

 

[AvecAloes]

IT'S SO GOOD

Exactly how I was going to describe the show.

[Theozilla]

Well I am dumbfounded by the most recent episodes, I thought for sure the show had debunked all the season 1 hints as red herrings. I haven’t been this shocked by a plot twist in a long time.

 

[ChipNoir]

Yeah, I spent 5 hours rocketing off the walls over the latest bomb. Poor Fancy and B had to watch me babble on twitter without actually making any sense.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

That was one HELL of an episode.

Rebecca Sugar is the absolute best: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-importance-of-people-like-rebecca-sugar-1828369972
(This is really two articles, since it's mostly a commentary on another fantastic one)
