The capitalization on this review is a bit odd.

"More complex" would've sufficed.
I didn't care for the artstyle. But I've gotten used to it by this point.

An Entertaining Series.
Steven Universe follows a young Steven who is a half human- half gem hybrid. He, and his three magical guardians defend the world against threats and overcoming obstacles. But, is it worth it?
PROS: Off the bat, my favorite part about this show is the main characters. Steven is quite charming, never becoming too annoying. He starts has the load, but quickly evolves past that. The Crystal Gems(Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl) are deep, complex character and are the highlight of the show. Others include Greg and Connie. Who i enjoyed a lot. The citizens of Beach City are plenty of fun. The music is nostalgic, yet fresh. And, the Myth Arc is intriguing. Did i mention the show makes you emotional? I don't get very emotional over shows but, Steven Universe makes you feel sad. Or happy! I respect shows like that.
CONS: One thing that bothers me (a bit) about the show, is the art-style. Not that it's bad, but a bit too simple. It was change drastically from the pilot, but has a better overall feel. I would have preferred if they mixed both styles together. I also don't like the format. Steven Universe is an 11-minute long show. This can be frustrating with such a deep and complex world and characters SU has. Episodes rather drag out, or are too slow. The show also takes time to develop a overarching plot. It takes 25 episodes in before it starts to show its stuff.
OVERALL: Steven Universe is a popular cartoon for a reason. An interesting story, complex and interesting characters and a marvelous soundtrack. But, the show has flaws. Its format is too short for a complex show like SU. And, it takes time for the series to find it's footing. The artstyle is a pet peeve of mine and i would have preferred a more complex-er one. Yet, the good overshadows it's flaws and make it a great cartoon.
