What I think of Steven Universe
I knew from the very first episode, Steven Universe would become one of my favorite shows.​ Steven Universe has a high potential as an animated series. They have an interesting cast of core characters, with the Gems and Steven being the main focus so far. Rebecca Sugar's art really stands out with its excellence and is one of the best I've seen, rivaling anything else thus far that Cartoon Network has released. It's also really nice to see more female-oriented animation that isn't always centered around "girly" themes.
I wouldn't say this is what I would call a "laugh-out-loud" cartoon, but the humor delivers through visual gags and dialogue that are definitely worth a crack or two. This is good because I think a lot of shows now-a-days try too hard to be funny, but fail miserably. The main purpose of this show seems to be more centered around adventure than anything else, so it seems somewhat refreshing.
Is it worth the watch? Definitely. I have to say, I have never really been too big of a fan of the more modern Cartoon Network, but Steven Universe has really, kind of, captivated me. Sadly, it isn't as successful as I anticipated, though. Hoping it does better in the long run.
