Don't Listen to the Negativity This is my Favorite New Cartoon. Hands down. I have not hated a single Episode of the so far 20 that have been Produced. Some early reviewers dropped out due to it looking or appearing stupid or it sending a "Bad Racial Message". These things couldn't be more ridiculous to me.
Steven Universe has some of the best animation I have seen in any Cartoon, it isn't Avatar, The Last Airbender level, but it is a beautiful Cartoon to look at. Some people have said the Characters are "Annoying" or "Ruin" the show. Steven is the most real Child I have ever seen in media. He acts like a child. He's not supposed to be perfect, he's supposed to be a bit annoying, that's what a child is. No child is perfect, and Steven's lack of perfection make him a huge relation to about any child. In the same light, none of the Gems, or characters in this show are perfect, some may have a perfection complex, but are not Perfect themselves, again, another great Dynamic.
The show tells a wonderful story, building even the tiniest of Side Characters and giving them depth and making you want to see them again, this is something people forget in Cartoons of today, but are starting to remember. The Cartoon is not just the main characters, a good supporting Cast does a world of Good, and the ones in Steven Universe do the same, and it makes you want to see more of them. It also makes you interested in the story, about Steven and his Gem and how exactly he fits into the team (Not a Spoiler, shown in previews of the show). And all in all you just want to see what each new episode brings.
Rebecca Sugar is a delight, she knows how to create a world, characters, AND songs, and she showed that in Adventure Time, and I am glad that this show gets the praise it deserves, and yes, it has been renewed for Season 2, and I cannot wait.
To the bad reviewers, your opinion. To the people who haven't seen it yet, I cannot recommend this show enough to you. This is a Fantastic Show, with Fantastic varying characters, and a mysterious back-story that will keep you interested even more, as you follow along on Stevens Journey.
I believe in Steven, and I hope you do as well.
