Because it triggers endorphine releases in the brains of a high number of people.

people like it

Outstanding, almost “mystical” animation (especially backgrounds), interesting personalities. Mostly theses features drew me to this show.

It's an show about fat dumpy lesbians and crying.
Surprised that it's popular with fat dumpy lesbians that cry all the time?

Anime and tumblr. On its own a still good show

Tell me a single other current Western cartoon with an ongoing plot.

lesbians

It appeals to facets and members of SJW culture

Steven Universe has an ongoing plot?

Because it's different from the "LULSORANDOM" BS that we have been getting for years. It's not perfect but, fuck it, it's still better than most anything else on CN at the moment.

Adventure Time is a show that lost sight of its purpose by people determined to make it 2deep4u, TTG and PPG are shows that murdered, then raped the corpse of its predecessor's and is now wearing a patchwork coat of the originals skins. Clarence is the adventures of Autisty McAutistface.

In a sea of shit, we actually have something that is pretty good, so people are latching onto it like a tic... That, plus it helps that the characters are mostly likable, the episodes are consistantly good (Not always great, but always at least watchable) and they are trying to build a bigger universe. It's kinda like what Ward was trying to do with Adventure Time before he left it to other people who forgot that the show was supposed to be fun.

isn't there some star wars shit still going on, or did those all end?

Star Vs.
Miraculous Ladybug
Star Wars (Lego and Rebels)

That's four!

the show would be canceled or on life support by now if it weren't for Peridot carrying the show on her back with the occasional support from Pearl

you might not like the green meme machine, but she's what's keeping the show going

>In a sea of shit, we actually have something that is pretty good

No, you have yet another tidal wave of crap.

Steven Universe is nothing but '''references''', from entry-level anime to horrible attempts at Disney musical numbers, and catering to a median audience IQ rarely surpassing room temperature.

i was skeptic about the show, i literally think this was some gay progressive propaganda for kids but actually the show have valuable philosophical lessons of life. Homeworld representing the rigidity of social systems as Gems, and freedom and flexibility represented by organic life that is what Rose saw about Earth.

>the only good character in the show is ripped off from another, significantly better show

It's gay progressive propaganda coasting by because it understands how to appeal to the sensibilities of women, particularly young fat women.

it had potential, but isn't as good now as it used to

Guaranteed Replies: The Thread

It has a very interesting premise/universe. Unfortunately, It's run by incompetent SJWs who have wasted It's potential.

you might have a point about overdone references, but then you have to torpedo it because you just can't stop yourself from shitposting

I like the show it my guilty pleasure, but it is quite literally monster of the week

It's a good show

man i love that show. there's nothing wrong about light hearted fun

TMNT 2012

Me too, but there's no ongoing plot

That's why it's my guilty pleasure. I got into tumblr because of it. It's not that bad tbqh

People watched it.
People liked it.

Now you can stop baiting.

Because you are out of the demographic. You aways make fun and didn't try to understand the people out of this. And now you are there, alone and confuse. You are tryng to understand what is "wrong", and the "wrong" is you. You could continue with your life, but no one here have one. You could search for more stuff outside, but you want to be inside. People will make threads, talk about it, like it and you will claim that you are proud to be outside, when you are fixed in the need to be inside. You want to be the big stuff, your parents aren't in it anymore, they don't care but you care.

Tumblr is fine as a medium and/or blog site.

The problem is with its vocal userbase. Ignore them and you're fine.

I wonder when the TTG is bad meme will die out

What's a blogging website without its userbase?

It's bad because the community is bad; this is on top of the fact that the website is slow and has a terrible layout.

Yeah, but Sup Forums is shit and we're still on it

There are a fuckton of terrible tumblr subcultures, but your dashboard is made up of people you choose to follow so if you don't follow morons you won't see their content.

you can say that the stuff about hawk is a plot

Good point.

Know of any people on there that aren't morons? Not trying to prove a point, I'm just curious.

Actually its because it triggers endorphin releases in the brains of a number of high people. Pic unrelated.

Because people have opinions that differ from yours.
Have you seen some the other shows on the channel?

it is slow, but it is there

Because it panders to third wave feminists

Miraculous Ladybug does not have an ongoing plot
it is a monster of the week show where the re-set button is pressed at the end of each episode

I mostly follow nature photography and cooking blogs.

Mainstream 'adult' media (unsurprisingly) attracts much better tumblr fanbases than stuff that appeals to kids. The Game of Thrones community is fairly decent.

third wave feminists hate this show

That literally only leaves the porn left.

this. i have mostly retro futurism and illustration on mine, i don't see any SJW shit cause i don't follow any of those fuckers

this
with a shitty "muh lore" argument thrown in to justify it

To all you cucks claiming this show is pandering to Tumblrinas, just a quick reminder
SJWs have long since disowned this show, for doing such as saying that genocide is bad, creepers are not worth hating, or that conservatives are people too

>Outstanding, almost “mystical” animation
Statements like this honestly disappoint me.
The animation is easily nothing more than laughable.

Yeah well. Not that user, but the backgrounds are indeed beautiful and atmospheric in their own style. The actual character animation is simplified as heck though and also varies dramatically depending on the storyboarder.

Style and atmosphere I'll give you.
It's subjective, of course, but people are drawn to it and it simply seems very well done.

Well animated, it is not.
Which is a shame, I'm not looking to bash the show. But I just don't understand how people praise the animation of all things.

There's loads of pretty nice illustrators, animators, designers, or generally people just reblogging pretty or nice things. There's tumblr blogs for any interest. Porn tumblrs, MGTOW and white supremacy tumblrs, too.

I mean tumblr has more blogs than the United States has citizens. You can choose to hang around the radfem sjw cliques and follow their interactions and discourse, or you can go find whatever it is that interests you. Sure a lot of it is dumbass teenagers being intense about meaningless shit like only teenagers can, but you can just not click "follow" and you won't see their shit.

Literally doesn't though.

>But I just don't understand how people praise the animation of all things.
Yeah I don't either. I love the show but honestly the animation is all over the place. I think they just confuse general aesthetic, stylistic choices, backgrounds, great atmosphere etc with "good animation". You know, "it looks lovely, comfy and atmospheric, it must be good".

Also black women can be wrong and violence with a cause is still not beyond reproach.
They hated that.

It follows the Sonic/Undertale/MLP/AT>Homestuck model for attracting an autistic fanbase

>Simplistic, easily replicable art style (perfect for autismal OCs)
>Often very colorful
>Simple stories aimed at children, Homestuck exempted, but not really
>Quirky dialog/non offensive humor

Anyone got a link to the first thread about the new episode.

I want to see the freak out of Carl voice.

To add to that, MLP/SU/Sonic have cookie-cutter characters that belong to a made up race.

>mlp characters are just reskins of the same pony model.
>sonic characters are just reskins of sonic
>steven universe characters are all girls, and could pretty much look like anything

All really great for autismos to make their own characters.

Everyone knew what his voice was going to be from the short promo they put out a little while before it aired.

Lore, decent humor, fun characters. What's not to like?

Homestuck too.

The Trolls are exactly that. I honestly think of all of those, Undertale fits the least, but I still consider it part of this, since it takes from Homestuck

>mlp characters are just reskins of the same pony model
>sonic characters are just reskins of sonic
>steven universe characters are all girls
Tell me you're joking.

user, "TTG is bad" is a factual statement, don't be a moron.

it also helps to have
>color coded characters
>symbols that tie into the character's personality or just name, ie cutie marks/gemstones

Probably when it stops being bad.

#NotAllDonutSteels

Putting "they're all girls" on the same level as Sonic and pony OCs is ridiculous.
And ironically, the fact that gems of the same species look all the same makes it even harder to make OCs as more characters are revealed.

Also "meme" or injoke potential.

All fanbases are basically Sup Forums boards with their own little societies.

Porn is an essential, but not characteristic part of it too. It has to have cute characters that fuck, often in very depraved manners

All girls was ridiculous, but all Gem OCs do look very similar, like how all AT OCs aped the art style.

He could have worded it better.

Because of Sugars Musical Magic. Any show she goes to and does music for will be successful. Just look how shitty AT got when she left. She is the key.

which is kinda why people claiming it is SJW are kinda off the mark

I'm dropping the bomb here. Sugar's music is VERY hit and miss.

Just like AT, the premise of SU is great. A little kid with untapped magical powers lives at home with 3 magical women. The 3 main gems have cool designs. Steven had the potential to be adorable. Great color palettes and backgrounds, very intriguing storyline and lots of questions that were worth answering. What happened to Steven's mother? What's the deal with the gems and what's their mission?

It could have been a great show but it took every wrong turn it could take. Steven is annoying as fuck. Instead of focusing on adventure and the cool gems being cool it decided to focus on the background humans (who gives a shit, really?) and more pointless stuff. Even the drama is poorly handled.

Either way I don't know who to blame when shows turn out like this. It's very likely not Sugar's fault - or at least not entirely hers. Maybe they had too little time to develop a story, or they just hired the wrong people. Who knows.

Because it's good.

The only real complaints held against it are "muh SJW / tumblr shit". I suppose you could also call some of the art kind of shit, but otherwise it's pretty darn good, especially considering the current landscape of western animated shows.

Doesn't mean you have to like it, but don't walk around and act like it's objectively shit.

Door Lord episode was pinnacle of AT before it dropped. The songs that are a "miss" are the kind that take some time to grow on you. I feel the same way about here comes a thought. Now I am listening to it on repeat. Even ioii sounded cringy at first, but then became great.

Her music is either great to start, or time released great.

They're all candy-coloured lesbians with a gem as their emblem. Because there's so many kinds of gemstones and rocks, they can basically make their own colourful lesbians. Mix that withe fact that they can fuse to create different characters, and you have almost unlimited OC material.

Because not everyone's a raging Sup Forumstard like you are, you autist

i wish she did an album or something. l love her voice, would be nice to hear her work as an standalone thing

dunno man I saw a few SU episodes its full of dull voices and unfunny humor and the character designs and hair looks like some sort of bad 80s rock music video. I think its just internet popular the same way there was this huge onceler obsession a few years ago for some reason even though that movie sucked shit.

That was because the Onceler was hot. And he had nice music. Music is the key to any successful medium. Movies, tv shows, video games, you name it. If it has shitty music it fails.

Unregulated advances in weaponized autism are very dangerous.

Hopefully we hit the Sperg Singularity soon

> What happened to Steven's mother? What's the deal with the gems and what's their mission?

It answered all of those questions though.

>Steven is annoying as fuck. Instead of focusing on adventure and the cool gems being cool it decided to focus on the background humans (who gives a shit, really?) and more pointless stuff.

It seem like maybe you gave up on the show early on, because Steven has turned out to be one of the better characters on the show. Strong when he needs to be but still relatively vulnerable and realistic. Early on he was annoying and useless, but growing out of those traits was part of his character development. I'll agree with the background human criticism though. The sheer amount of human focused episodes we've been getting combined with the fucked airing schedule has started to kill my interest too.

I still love the show, but I feel like it lost it sense of pathos. Until Season 1, you could immerse yourself in the town, speculate about characters like Lapis, be excited to get new info about the gems, and go "OH SHIT" every time the homeworld gems appeared. Now the aura is mystery is gone, the townies are obnoxious filler, the new characters are walking memes, the adventurous feel of the show was drowned in unsubtle relationship episodes, and even Homeworld doesn't feel that scary anymore after the Yellow Giraffe thing.
They need to up their game, Steven Universe is good because it has SoL AND magic adventures, you can't just take away half of the formula in the middle of the show.


On an unrelated note, pic related is still going on and it's cringey and annoying as fuck.

South Park

It isn't, the fans are just SUPER vocal about it. TTG is dominating the ratings.

Wew, lad.

I hate this shit where Western shows with "On going plots" are 90% episodic with one or two Lore episodes at the end.

Can't you steal an ongoing storyline from Anime, Sugar?

Literally all of them except Spongebob or Teen Titans Go.

>Overarching plot but episodic and apes as much as possible from anime
I can think of a much better example. I'm still pissed about the ending

it still does well enough for CN to keep renewing it

Symbionic Titan did that, and see where it got them

This show is absolutely amazing

cancelled on a cliffhanger

eh, mystery can't last forever, and while the dynamic of the show has certainly changed, i personally don't think it's changed for the worse.

They should have made everyone a pastel colored round Lesbian.

Honest, great Craftsmanship was Genndy's one flaw

I genuinely want to know where the sci-fi gem stuff goes, and the town stuff is comfy depending on the episode. desu the anime references got me to start watching it.

Depends what you mean by "animation," the motion isn't all that special but some of the settings are pretty aesthetic.

puni is about main characters rise to power and hinting for ongoing plot.

I honestly don't know if this is real or an edit.

So what. It does not do a good job with its serialized-format. Way too many filler episodes, they spend to much time telling and not showing or giving little hints to the audience, or making shit up as they go. The show's plot itself isn't anything too amazing it has your stock "villain needs to take over the world". Fucking MLP does better with its arch and ongoing plots, the first two episode of MLP give you a good idea as to how this world works same thing can be said about the original Avatar. What pisses me off is that deep down there is a really good story there, why not have certain seasons show the war between the good and bad gems, like a big civil war battle a la 1985's North and South.
I actually like the animation, it isn't "fantastic". At worst its your stock "on model" sitcomy kind of animation. At its best its highly expressive and can have actual good timing, as well as having a good understanding of perspective while trying to make sure the camera just stay still while the characters walk across, a practice that most show including this one are known for. Some of the best episodes in my opinion are: The Uncle Grandpa one and the one were they parody DBZ because thats one the animation becomes highly expressive and exaggerated making forcing the animators and the voice actors really give their all, ands thats when the show really shines, because its then when it realizes its a cartoon and tries to have a lot of fun with it.
Also, I know this sounds like a lot, but I can just say, NO MORE FUCKING CRYING, its so self-indulgent and totally distracts from everything. I don't care about a characters problems. Its like watching Evangelion or reading Elliot Rodger's manifesto (practically the same thing). At first you feel bad for that whiny angsty kid, but then that sympathy grows into a seething hatred and then you no longer like that kid, you just want to shove his whiny ass into a locker to shut him up.
