Steven Universe

Death means change. And Cookie Cat LEFT HIS FAMILY BEHIND!

Cookie Cat's PARENTS ARE DEAD!

Perhaps Death could've been something involving Jasper or Peridot, or maybe the hand ship, considering how much the Homeworld has advanced and changed over the years.

A new fusion

Oh Flame Princess, you were underused...

Flame Princess+Shooting Star=OTP.

Yet still occasionally less of a dick than Princess Bubblegum.

Flame Princess was almost a main character for how much she appeared back when she was Finn's girlfriend. But then they broke up and now she never appears.

There's something wrong with that.

Not "never." Probably still as frequently as Marceline, who also rarely shows up any more.

Off-topic discussion: the more people do it, the more people think it's OK.

And the more people whine about it the more people do it out of spite.

This isn't OTC. Off-topic discussions are fine as long as they don't dominate the thread.

"Steven Universe" is similar to "One Piece," in that both stories reveal information about their characters and the world in very slow increments, in between awesome fights and emotional moments.

I used to watch One Piece... until I got tired of waiting for the plot to move.

That is a problem with One Piece. Sometimes the wait is worth it other times not so much.

The manga's better with that. If anything, the manga has a pretty frenetic pace.

I was referring to the manga, actually. The anime is way too dragged out for me. Can't be helped when translating one chapter into one episode.

When it comes to pacing I feel that season 1A is the "prologue". Heck, during the pre-premier hype for Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem one of the crew (maybe even rebecca) said "the real steven universe begins now". The pacing also works on a meta level, as since the show follows steven's POV of course the time before steven starts to learn the bigger picture has a lot of free time stuff. I remember reading (though it might be second hand from someone else) that one reason why episodes aren't half hours is because if they were they wouldn't be able to really justify the lower key episodes. (like onion trade and garnet's universe)

Welp, I'm now caught up.

...

When do new episodes air?

June 15! And 16th and 17th and 18th and 19th! Steven Bomb round 2!

Guys.

Check it.◊

Garnet and Pearl gets a cameo in the latest Batgirl comic.

Yup. That def is.

Heh. Funny how, on that same page, she's working out a puzzle that looks a lot like the Pearl room from The Test.

Legit? As in skin tone and everything?

Also, how'd you find the last dozen episodes or so Enlong?

If you're talking about that picture, you can't tell for sure because the room that scene is in seems to have red lights.

Though, Garnet and Pearl seem to have right tones relative to each other. Which, in that picture, just means Pearl is a somewhat lighter tint of red.

Nothing on Pearl's forehead, though.

I found the last batch of episodes to be pretty great overall. Some very nice character moments, and the homeworld-based drama was very good.

There does seem to be something on Pearl's forehead.
