Cute. Thats the best way of summing that up.

So anyways while I was into this show since the beginning, for people who it took a while longer to get into the show, What was the episode(s) that made you realize the show was something special and why?

"Say Uncle"

Because reasons of natural affection towards visual comedians.

The episode that caught my interest was the first episode I remember watching, Coach Steven. However I didn't actively start watching it until after I was done binging Gravity Falls.

What was the episode(s) that made you realize the show was something special and why?
I was also into the show from the beginning, but "Lion 3: Straight to Video" really drove how good the show is at playing with expectations and emotional impact.

As I mentioned way back when, I'd basically guessed that Rose "became" Steven, but I didn't expect the show to acknowledge such or to have so much pathos behind it.

Put another way, it's when I realized that, even when your theory turns out to be correct (because it's a sensible conclusion to make), the show will still surprise you.

I don't really think I can pin down a particular moment. I liked the show from the beginning and it just kept getting better and better and I'm sure that's going to continue to be the case.

Hmm. The moment I decided I was interested in the show beyond just checking out the first episode was the moment Pearl snapped the centipeetle spawn's neck. The episode that got me to stay? Giant Woman, probably. It doesn't really matter, since I had resolved to binge the entire series anyway.

I didn't really watch it at all for a while, but I knew of it. I always thought it seemed pretty dumb from the ads, but when Mirror Gem/Ocean Gem debuted I decided to give it a shot.

Those are actually still tied for my my favorite episode. It was absolutely beautiful. The scenes where Lapis reformed on the beach with mirrored eyes, and the water pillar made a huge impression.

I didn't start watching until Season 2, so I already knew that the series would change. But I liked the slice of life stories, and the pacing, so I was in no rush for the Homeworld plot to begin.

Started with Mirror Gem and Ocean Gem too. Watched the pilot and didn't like it that much.

My first episode was Lion 3.

It convinced me to go and watch more

I honestly don't remember what my first episode was. I had a friend showing me clip compilations on You Tube before I really starting watching in earnest, and then I went and did a broadcast-order Archive Binge.

I know I've been quiet since my first few posts in this thread, but "Mindful Education" was kind of the right scenario at the right time for me. I've had a lot of worrisome things on my mind lately, and it helped me process them a little better, in a "step back for moment, breathe, assess, breathe some more" fashion.

It's good to have people you can talk to about such things.

Not to get preachy about it but intentional misgendering is neither cool nor clever.

Should've made that clear then. From the tone of your post I thought you were trying to be dismissive.
