I love Steven Universe, please send help

When I was a child I remember I watched Ed, Edd and Eddy, Dexter's labs, Johnny Bravo and other cartoons from the late 90's. Sure those cartoons were pretty bizarre back then but they had a charm that no other media had at the moment. "Live action" wasn't a thing yet and anime were very experimental, so the only choise for a kid was watching Cartoon Network (only if you had payed tv).




Everything was fine in my childhood with those programs and I still have some good chapters of my favourites series, but when I grew up I noticed the channel wasn't the same. More and more shows with less popularity and "quality" were broadcasted and my hopes of a good cartoon coming out were fading out instead. So when I found that Cartoon Network were producing new content I was excited for a reason. Adventure Time, Clarence and Regular Show were revisiting the charm of the old cartoons, but at the same time Uncle Grandpa and bunch of other poopy shows ruined my trust in the channel. So then, a miracle. One of the most perfect shows I have seen so far: Steven Universe.


Those wonderful landscapes of Beach City in an apocaliptic but timeless scenery,with awesome but "realistic" (or it might be believable?) characters that struggles when trying to protect the world from an extraterrestial specie... this serie has everything that I liked because it's focused in been a human (in a sense). Steven it's not the superhero that everyone fantisize, he is just a kid, he's the reflection of the will of living, not with bravery but with compassion and joy. Sure other Characters like Garnet, Pearl and Amethyst fights for the planet, but Steven is who save the other Gems from depression and stuff.



I really hope in the near future more cartoons like this one will come out regulary. Well, I have plenty of Anime that I want to watch but no media has giving me so much fun as Steven Universe.
