It looks cool so far. Let's see how this plays out.

I was literally crying over episode 2, Steven's Dad and Mom is such a cute story.

>>218557
Agreed; that was surprisingly sweet.

Okay I was a little curious about this seeing as I was not a big fan of the redesigns of the gems but surprisingly enough I really liked the pilot.

It wasn't perfect and at times it did seem kinda rushed but I like it. And I like Steven because he actually talks and behaves like a little kid! Finally someone in the animation world got it right, I can't tell you how sick I was of the generic "2 kool for skool" rebel boy that I see so much in kid's cartoons. It's nice to see a kid character who is just that a kid.

Also I love the characterization of the gems Pearl is the loving mother, Garnet is the cool aunt and Amethyst is the sister.

Know I'm gonna get some flack for this but this show reminded me a lot of Miyazaki's movies. The style, the character designs, the writing and the overall structure of the story is really well done not to mention the animation was beautiful I mean wow just wow......

I like this show a lot and I will be watching to see where they go from here.

I can see next episode diving more into whatever force made things like the eye that seemed to have hunted down the rest of the gems.

I really hope they get better in ratings, perhaps another time slot.

>>218560
>Miyazaki
You know, I can kind of see it.

The art change from the pilot was a little jarring at first, but I really like what I've seen so far, and am looking forward to watching where this goes.

>>218564
It just needs to build up steam. I don't think the show will have any trouble tapping into the same crowd that watches Adventure Time, and that's a lot of eyeballs aimed at the television.

welp that silences that.

>>218580
Not really, no. CN--and every TV network, for that matter--always does the PR spin. How SU performs in the next few weeks, will determine the series' success.

>>218597
true, usually the half and half episodes take a punch since the preview first part has been out for a while now.

music people are making for this is crazy good.

>>218642
don't be posting thumbnails

I love this show with my whole being. Just a great feel, beautifully animated and designed, obviously great music show for kids. Like >>218560 said, Steven is a kid and I hope the waters never get muddied like Adventure Time did.

Being in Japan means I can't watch this show legally, even on CN.com or youtube, but if you have any kind of access, please support this show in whatever way you can.

>>218661
whatever comes out on bandcamp I'm buying that is for sure. Also a Wayforward game eventually.

I prefer the old art style to be honest, but I love this show.

Interesting take I read:

I was afraid from the posters and promo material that Steven was going to be a lot older - like a Jonah Hill-type loser manchild. It was nice that they made him an actual child to match his immaturity and naivety.

I'm just glad Danny DeVito is getting more work.

Ditto. I liked the style in the pilot better, but the show is still fantastic, and still nice to look at.

>>218829
ohh dem backgrounds. Super excited for another double dose tomorrow. Ratings should be better since people wont' switch and forget since they already seen half the new episode.

>>218829
Wait, is this one of the shows where the pilot is a different thing from the first episode?

>>218837
That is actually the case for a lot of shows.

>>218840
I know that, which is why I said "one of".

>>218837
Nah, the pilot's very much the same premise as the show itself. Only major difference is in the art.

Also, I like that Steven's song from the pilot became the show's theme. That was a nice touch.

>>218837
>Wait, is this one of the shows where the pilot is a different thing from the first episode?

Hey, if every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hot dogs.

This show is just too cute for words.

What the hell is "The Bits"? Is it an American thing? Are you putting something strange and unnatural in a frier? Because that's Scotland's schtick, and you won't be able to outdo them at it. They Will Bury You.

>>218891
Brits all it "the scraps" Probably a regional US thing like the Utz chips.

>>218891
The bits are just little leftover pieces of fries that slip into the deep frier.

Also Ian Jones brought so much flavor to the new episodes.

We need a Steven blog with eps downloads an stuff.

This sucker needs a album on Bandcamp.

I think this image does a pretty good job at summing up the show.

Fighting against Wrestling numbers is always a problem.

Still no Itunes rip?

>The kid-targeted net has picked up 13 additional episodes each of its new animated series. That brings the orders for Cartoon Network‘s Uncle Grandpa and Steven Universe, which were greenlighted in September 2012, to 26 episodes.

>>219077
that's good do they have another show so they could make it a solid hour block since I guess this one will be made of Steven Uncle Grandpa and Adventure Time along with another at some point.

There's that.

I can't believe they let him have the fridge. I hope he gave them at least a bit of cash.

>>219091
Stores throw out things all the time, even displays that are designed to hold a specific product. Heck, some places even throw out perfectly fine TVs because they simply don't need them anymore.

>>219103
yea that's how some people get the promotional containers for limited edition drinks and stuff. Company doesn't want them back and so they just give it away.

GARNET - Estelle - American Boy [Feat. …
PEARL - Deedee Magno Hall: I Would Be So Pleased
AMETHYST - Barney: I Hear Music Everywhere

>>219152
Holy fuck Estelle voices Garnet? that's incredible! I've always liked her music

since the gems can actually sing, I'm guessing somewhere down the road they'll be doing their own Character Songs.

>>219171
yea that has been their plan.

>>219152

>>219287
another promo card

cripes censored in Russia most likely.

>>219305
What? I don't get it?

>>219307
Russia has had a bit about animated adolescents lately and censoring of stuff.

>>219311
Yeah okay but censor what?

>>219313
Just joking and a bit surprised that Steven wasn't drawn flat.

frybo...

frybo was an okay episode.

>>219319
Well animated and surprisingly heavy in the middle. My favorite episode so far.

This show is certainly going places.

Uh... Steven's gem aligns to the Manipura chakra point. It speaks very much to his character.

>>219569
Crazy how deep some shows can go when you look.

>>219636
>sweet a new episode
>wait, why does this flyer look so famili-
>middle school flashes before eyes

oh SHIT son, we morphin'

Oh I hope its Steven doing something that causes everyone to be cats. I wanna see Pearl kitty.

>>219652
Someone went to a GameStop for their copy of 3D World didn't they?

Jesus christ, I think everyone made a promo card.

That was horrifying.

One more

>>219670
In a good way or?

>>219673
As in a fucking scary way.

>>219673
In an Akira way.

what an episode

>>219678
jesus christ what. Guess I'm gonna have to check that out

>>219678
Testuo came immediately to my mind, as well. That fucking rolling near the end.

CN put up a preview for the next episode.

Cyriak would be proud.
Welcome to Kitty City

>>219704
So the girl from the intro is a character and that's radical.

Steven universe "Bubble buddie…

Pretty appropriate.

I wonder what the show would be like with a little role reversal.

>>220000
three little waifs showing up to Steven's door and some note pinned to one of them asking to take care or some such.

That is the only time I've seen a childhood crush portrayed well in a cartoon.

Show seems to have a way with the feels. Waiting for Steven to see the gems get personal with someone.

>>220077
Emotions are Rebeca's specialty.

>>220078
It's a good thing that I don't automatically hate Connie.

The crew sure is some weird peoples.
