      Ehhhh. I don’t recommend unless you’re below the age of 16. It starts as a cool show. Almost has like gayer lesbian DBZ vibes but really falls off in it’s tone and writing later. No problem is solved realistically and it’s all hugs magic and sparkles in the end.

      Avatar did conflict resolution far better

        If we’re judging kids shows based on Avatar we’ll always be let down.

        It’s a different things entirely and did well at what it tried, no the story isn’t great from start to end but if you take it as chapters it’s not horrible.

        I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it’s problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person’s traits as a solution to differences.

        Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you’re being shown it from his eyes.

        This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn’t as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

        Lovely show

          I liked the jasper arc. I felt how that played out was really deep for a kids show. Every other conflict with a major character falls flat.
