The Crystal Gems are a team of magical beings who are the self-appointed guardians of the universe. Half-human, half-Gem hero Steven is the "little brother" of the group. The goofball is learning to save the world using the magical powers that come from his bellybutton and he goes on magical adventures with the rest of the Crystal Gems, even though he's not as powerful -- or smart -- as fellow group members Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. Despite his shortcomings, Steven usually finds a surprising way to save the day.

Steven Universe is much more than a simple cartoon. It serves as text that highlights the importance of navigating positionalities and rejecting colonial projects, whether on Earth or in intergalactic empires. Go to Full Review Eric Thurm AV Club 09/22/2018
For the first time in a while, there's no way to know what's going to happen on Steven Universe -- and it's thrilling. Go to Full Review Jordan Crucchiola New York Magazine/Vulture 09/21/2018
A big queer step forward for cartoon TV. Go to Full Review Vrai Kaiser The Mary Sue 01/23/2019
It created memorable, deservedly beloved characters that I already miss. It raised the bar immensely for diversity, among both the cast and crew. The world of animation is irrevocably different because of Steven Universe, and for the better. Go to Full Review Charles Pulliam-Moore io9.com 01/23/2019
Feels very much like an epic swan song. It doesn't tie up a number of the series' dangling threads, but instead presents you with the bookend to a story that just feels... right. Go to Full Review Lux Altpraum Polygon 09/21/2018
Steven Universe's queerness isn't just about the show's superficial trappings, it's baked into a core message: fight for love against all odds. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Layne A. @poisontree Jan 9 This show has a very fantastic concept. But its potential is mostly wasted. What I love about this show is the songwriting, its overall concept, the lore, and the characters. However some of the episodes of this show are straight up cringe and corny. It feels like the story wasn’t completely thought through before it got picked up by Cartoon Network because some of the episodes are extremely weak or rushed. Perhaps it’s partially Cartoon Network’s fault because they like filler, and decide how many episodes a show can get. But if you have an idea this good you shouldn’t let it be held back by a studio so that it could reach its full potential. Also I know animating is extremely hard but they couldn’t even keep the heights of the characters consistent it was so noticeable. Like Steven is 14 years old how come in season one he was tall enough to reach the kitchen counter but in the late seasons he needs a step stool? Like character designs are supposed to be locked in when you start the show you can’t just randomly change what they look like in the middle of the series because you suddenly decide it would be “cuter” another way- unless something happened in the story. I also wasn’t a fan of the glorification of life and birth when clearly Steven is suffering because of what he was forcibly born into. Season 1 is 100% the best season in my opinion because it’s consistent animation and least cringe episodes.

Still, the season remains stable and they're delivering an acceptable level of quality. Good season, bad team behind it.
