8	The series follows the adventures of the titular character, a [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human, half gem]] along with his three guardians known as the Crystal Gems, Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst. While they deal with threats that come from cosmic forces, some stories likewise focus on Steven trying to adjust the three to Earth culture as well and his interaction with the residents of their hometown, Beach City. As the series goes on, however, more secrets of the Gems' past slowly begin to crop up that threaten their planet, most of which seem to stem from Steven's deceased mother and the Crystal Gems' former leader, Rose Quartz.

10	The series began life as a short made in 2012 (later released publicly in Spring 2013) called ''The Time Thing'', with a wildly different style and personalities for the characters. The show premiered proper in Fall 2013, garnering high acclaim for its story and characters, especially with the LGBT fanbase for openly showing lesbian characters and relationships.
11
12	''Steven Universe'' ran for five seasons from 2013 to 2019. A movie set after the series was released in Fall 2019, while a sequel/epilogue limited series, subtitled ''Future'', followed shortly afterward to wrap up lingering plotlines, that concluded in March 2020. Likewise, the series has had its share of comic books and video games (mostly on mobile devices) as well.
