Steven Universe episodes 1+2 Review Yeah he sings about Ice Cream(it's like Gaim it gets darker and better) and insert majora's mask theme

Well if you missed my mega update this show is about a boy named well Steven who lives with these 3 weird girls/magical super beings called the Crystal Gems, the de-facto leader Garnet(until we meet Kiki and her family the closest thing this show has to a black person not trying to be offensive or anything I have to be honest but I do apologize) (the one that most people like cause of a plot twist I would say but I've met more fans of this show here on G+ than any other so I can't spoil it unless the internet already tells you by the time I get to episode 49/52 if we're getting technical), Amethyst(basically discount Chowder and LSP in fact series creator Rebecca Sugar who worked on Adventure Time based Amethyst's design off of LSP)(that one I said was my favorite), and Pearl(who acts like an overprotective mother for reasons again not allowed to until I get to Feelnuke 45 whoops I meant Episode 45, while I'm not spoiling it (but they drop more hints than Garnet's backstory before they revealed it which they dropped even more hints than Amethyst which if the internet doesn't spoil it like me you'll have to wait until Feelnuke 40 whoops I did it again Episode 40 at this rate a whole year) and acts like a Samurai but if you watched Kamen Rider Drive,(not going back) Pearl will totally remind you of Brain(basically Pearl despite is the brains of the group and has a tendency to overreact and when she does 6 times out of 10 it's f--king hilarious)(she would be my favorite but Amethyst is better IMO kinda funny Pearl and Amethyst keep arguing because reasons)(actually because of differences on how too solve problems(WAIT DAMNIT ALREADY SPOILING TOO MUCH)) OK SPOILED TOO MUCH TIME TO START(not reviewing the unaired pilot with crappy animations)(note around halfway through Season 1 is when sh*t hits the fan and it gets good the animation quality is not much better)


 So we start off with a kid screaming at a shop who is kinda small chubby and has a pink belly button(WAIT DON'T TELL ME)(arrow points to Steven with the words Main Character next to him also with This joke is getting old near it) Steven begs a teenager working there named Lars while another teen working there named Sadie apologies because Steven's favorite Ice Cream Brand Cookie Cats are going out of business and yeah if you've seen enough modern kids cartoons you know where this is going so Lars said make em with your Magic Pink Belly Button he has a Pink Gem on his belly not lying
 
so then Steven gets to keep the freezer for reasons I don't know (never mind Sadie let him)(actually watching this on AT&T U-Verse On Demand it'll no longer be on when you read this but just letting you know how far I am typing this in advance. So we cut to Steven going home and getting attacked by a Centipede monster(also early on in Season 1 this show did the monster of the episode approach) luckily Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet are here to save the day, We see Steven try to get help on getting to summon his weapon everyone has her own way, Steven then finds out Pearl and Amethyst got him more Cookie Cats which he sings about (music counter 1) and then summons a shield, however the monster is back so time to fight it the Centipede monster ends up actually doing a number on Garnet Amethyst and Pearl but Steven actually ends up saving the day and mourns over the cookie Cat's while the monster disappeared in green smoke.

I give this a C kinda meh but this is what we see during most of the early episodes though ironically if you pay close enough attention and knows what happens toward the end the lyrics actually are foreshadowing in a way which I have to give them credit for because this is  actually more than I thought
Episode 2 is much more fast paced we start off like most episodes casually(trust me I can only think of one episode even after it went into amazing mode though OTGW is the only Modern American Cartoon that the majority of it's episodes don't start off casually) with Amethyst and Steven going to a place to get fry bits after this IT'S THE MOON FROM MAJORA'S MASK. Pearl scolds Amethyst for this(get used to it)  and then time to blow up a red eye Garnet throws Amethyst but fail miserably(before your all like MEG GRIFFIN no Amethyst suggested it) and then Steven tells Pearl his dad may have what they need which is a cannon Steven's mother Rose Quartz once (before you ask where is she in all of this they explain it in a later episode to those of you not acting all smug because you don't already know)to destroy it (ok PREPARE FOR NITPICKING why does Steven not live with his Dad am I srsly the only person on Earth with this question) Steven wakes Greg up in a van and they look through some old paintings get the Cannon and blow up the cannon.

I actually give this an A- we get right to the plot would've gave it a B- but we find out about the Re Eye later(trust me we do granted I'll probably get lazy and just give you the important parts until we're all caught up but this goes on month long hiatuses every other week)
