I need to have a concise, and thorough explanation and reason to watch this, aside from the afore mentioned. I need a list of reason that are concrete and not cringe worthy.
1) The dialogue is smooth and original. Each character has consistent, well defined, and individual personalities. It's not awkward and generic conversations like most other cartoons have.
2) The audience is directed more towards young adults than anything else with it's variety of topic discussions (never meeting your mother, unrequited love, relationship fights, hating yourself, depression, etc)
3) Each character has such a unique and well planned out history. Every character (as mentioned before) has distinct personalities and deep pasts that come together to be a hot mess of heart wrenching moments.
4) The magic logic in the show is also quite original too and very interesting.
i have school in like 4 minutes so i'm ending it here.
the only bad thing about steven universe is the first 15 episodes or so are kinda cheesy, but it's there to build up and pass as a children's show, but damn somewhere in the 14th, 15th, or 16th episode you get slammed so hard and you will die inside.
The story is incredibly deep and thought provoking. It's also the only show (that I know of) that expresses queer people as normal and does not abide them to stereo types or the typical oh no lesbianisms how will we ever come out of the closet.
