Alexandrite is the most impressive design in the show. The second mouth is perfectly alien while still fitting the general feeling. The colors are interesting and fit the gemstone well. Really good feel for the CGs.

Is this stuff from Steven Universe ? That looks awesome, how gay is the show ?
>>
>>92052463
One of the main characters is a lesbian and another is a physical gestalt of two lesbians.

And the show uses quite a bit of pink in its color palette.

That's about it, really. People make a bigger deal of it than it is.

that fight looks weird too, I was being sarcastic because the animators didn't animate in momentum

But yeah if you compare the Garnet vs Jasper fight from the beginning of the series to Smokey Quartz vs Jasper it's depressing how bad the show has gotten with its quality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7FBm-Y24_A

Not to mention how the reject purple gem merging with a child for some reason had a huge power spike compare to garnet to the extent that they didn't even get scratched.

>>92052899
its weird because i think the alexandrite battle was better than stronger than you (it was a better episode but the fight was more like a music video than an actual fight) but then stevonnie vs jasper was bad and smokey vs jasper was meh.
So in the same season we got the best fight scene and 2 bad ones.Its strange.Probably they should hire someone else to do the fight scenes.

has anything in this show improved overtime? I mean fuck they even fired the guy who used to do the good backgrounds to save money there too
>>
>>92053012
well i liked it
>>92053019
she had NO character. she was a techno gem who had a mission and when she couldnt finish it she reported it. then she got stranded on earth and was a recurring villain who did nothing but run away.
she was, literally, a 90s cartoon villain. and her redemption arc was amazing. the worst thing she did was crush that worthless robonoid.i dont care if you think "memebarn ruined her" she was an empty husk before she got rid of the enhancers.you just like those things because it was a good design.

Why do people keep saying this? You're fucking retarded, the only time she was intimidating was in her introduction in Warp Tour. Her other appearances where she had her limb enhancers has the same personality going on as she does after she lost her limb enhancers.

She's always been full of herself and childish. Rewatch the scenes of her in Keeping it Together, Marble Madness, and Friend Ship.

There's plenty of things to complain about with how her character is being handled, but this is just stupid.

people love to shit on peridot for doing jack shit after her redemption arc, but honestly, after gem drill the gems are doing.....nothing. after mr greg pearl was worthless in season 3. garnet has been more useful separated than fused in S3-S4.only amethyst,jasper and steven have been doing something useful.
At the very least we are shown peridots daily life, unlike pearl where who gets 2 episodes in 2 whole seasons.

>>92053055
what about the peridot shrinkage? in the episode where he poofed her out of the bubble, peridot was taller than steven, in the episode where they try to help ruby shes like half his height.

So I have something to say about this show.

its gone down hill

I started watching the first few eps and the first like 3 or 4 are kind of meh worthy, but after that it got good, which is what hooked me. I ignore the heavy ass sjw feminist tones that are shoved into the show, the reason I love it in the beginning was the mystical feel and the sense of wonder that was installed into it. like the episode mirror gem, the atmosphere was wonderful.

not only that I loved the attention to detail and the stuff that they would later reference, things that make sense after you watch later episodes like all the stuff with garnet.

the show had great continuity, but lately I fell like most of these later seasons its a LOT of filler and waiting for stuff to happen, season 4 has been very boring.
>>
>>92053522
season 4 has been shit. i love this show way too much and even i agree with that.
>I ignore the heavy ass sjw feminist tones that are shoved into the show
care to explain them? i know theres gay shit but, unlike the comics, SU doesnt shove them right into your face(well except maybe LOOBC)
>>
>>92053321
What are you talking about? She's clearly taller than him like always.
>>
>>92053567

>asking nu-/co/ to explain what it means when it says "sjw"

do you go around asking cows what they mean when they say "moo" anonymous? i don't, my time is worth more than that.
>>
>>92053567
its a lot of stuff its not in your face but stuff like beach city drift

ok so originally steven and connie didnt give a shit about kevin and what he was up to, they even ended the episode where they originally met with them laughing and dancing.

but in beach city drift, suddenly the whole episode makes it that kevin trying to force them to dance was essentially a metaphor for rape.

then they pop off the alone at sea episode which is essentially a giant metaphor for abusive relationships.

there is also the fact that fusion is seen as a super personal thing almost seen as sex among gems, so when pearl tricks garnet into fusing she loses her shit.

so all that aside I want you to think about the characters.

Almost every female is awesome, strong, even non gem females can fight gem monsters and take them down.

almost every male character are useless, most are portrayed as something not worth looking at, something stupid and to be mocked.

steven is the only male who is shown to be capable in the show. its very gender biased
>>
>>92053982
>Almost every female is awesome, strong
They're all fucking wrecks.
>>
>>92054010
yet every crystal gem is female, all males are weak humans

they might have character flaws, but only the females seem to be able to do anything.
>>
>>92054086
The gems can do anything of value when Steven is around.
>>
>>92052947
> struggles in the fight and barely wins

oh come off it, that was a musical fight which are usually devoid of tension in the first place. Did you even watch the scene? Garnet wipes the floor with Jasper because she's re-formed and really feeling herself.
>>
>>92052551

...so what you're saying is, YOU're gay?

>>92054086
>>92054142

>>
>>92052372

You know Alexandrite is just a ripoff of Evangelion right? Including the second mouth.

Very few designs in SU are not ripoffs of some anime or other. I'm fine with that though.
>>
>>92054086
What is Greg
>>
>>92054217
I don't remember anyone having two mouths in Eva. What are you talking about?
>>
>>92054244
greg does nothing, he plays music with steven with the exception of that one time where he fucked up so badly that he caused steven to lose his healing powers.

what is greg?
what does greg contribute?
>>
>>92054291
this, the eva shinji piloted had one mouth
>>
>>92054291

It's clearly based on this.
>>
>>92054583
Can you show the pic of the other mouth?
>>
>>92053516
This. Even if steven himself is small, Rose was still a grade A warrior and leader, which amethyst is as well. Together they should easily trounce jasper.
>>
>>92054294
greg is the only good parental figure steven has. theres a lot of episodes that show that without greg, steven would be more miserable.
take lion 4 for example.greg is the biggest moral support steven has.and for a kid that every season learns fucked up things about his family thats important
>>
>>92054583
>evangelion invented mouths
WOAH
>>
>>92052372
Alexandrite is one of my most favorite fusions (not that there are many). First time seeing her I wasn't completely sold yet but in her fight with Malachite I was completely in love with this giant monster lady.
>>
>>92054583
those two mouths are really visible in this pic. obviously alexandrite was CLEARLY STOLEN FROM EVANGELION BESTANIMUEVERSHINJI4EVRXDDD
>>
>>92053982
beach city drift was more of a "fuck this guy for being a jerkass. lets show him!" than a rape accusation.steven hated him for ""sexually assaulting"" him and connie and he was an asshole to his dad and he did all of this having a egocentric attitude. hes basically a full fledged bully, and steven is like the opposite of that.

alone at sea was a shit episode.the problem wasnt the moral, it was the pacing and resolution.it had really bad writing.

and yeah the females are strong, and thats because thats the point of the show. the show is about the gems, and all of the gems are female. but they do have good male characters, like the mayor, greg, andy, lars and jaime. And like you said, the main character is male, and hes the one who saves the day most of the time. So its a show about a bunch of girls fighting each other until a little boy fixes everything.

It's not a painstakingly-crafted love letter homage to an old, forgotten anime, it's a straight up tracing of it because one of the story-boarders liked the scene and wanted to put it in their cartoon. It doesn't matter if it's two shots or fifteen.

That most definitely crosses not only "the rip off line", but many legal lines if anyone actually gave a shit.
>>
>>92055480
no one is arguing that the show has large ties to anime you fucking idiot. like holy shit how can you be this stupid.

the argument is whether or not alexandrite was a reference or resembles shinjis eva in evangelion. some idiot, not sure if it was you, said that evangelion had two mouth like alexandrite, and that their designs were similar.

yes, steven universe has a lot of anime references.

but alexandrite and shinjis eva are nothing alike except that they are tall and they are both kind of purple.

Would it still be an Evangelion reference if the shot didn't resemble the scene in the original anime? If you're referencing something iconic you don't make the shot different, that defeats the object.

The irony is that SU is my favourite currently airing anime, but I can't resist the urge to slap these tumblr children who think it's even remotely original around a bit and teach them who their daddy is.

SU is literally the result of a weeaboo called Rebecca Sugar taking all her favourite anime, video games and western cartoons, and mashing them all together.

SU has references in shots,thats for sure.
but you cant say that its a rip off. theres not a single anime thats about lesbian aliens who are gemstones, descending from a race of conquering warlords who rule a whole galaxy and rebelled against them, with their leader killing one of the main 4 leaders causing them to drop a bomb that corrupted almost all of the rebels. Theres not an anime about a fat kid living with those people.
references dont make a show a rip off.

No, that part is taken from Hoomestuck instead. Not that the Gem Empire doesn't also take inspiration from a bunch of old space opera anime. Blue Diamond is explicitly inspired by Leiji Matsumoto for example.

Of course you don't. You, and the rest of the clueless children in this thread, haven't seen any of the anime or comics all these references are from, likely because you are too underage to have even been alive when they were made.

You are literally in denial based on nothing but your gut feeling that "Steven Universe can't possibly be a ripoff can it since I love it so much?"

90% of arguments stem from ignorance. Learn to keep your mouth shut when you don't know what you're talking about, even when the truth stings.

To this one shitposter actually defending SU, especially the crap from the past year or two: This show is shit. It had potential early on but is now complete whiny tumblrtrash complete with whiny MC, useless and/or (except the poo in loo girl), melodramatic supporting cast and a storyline that has gone stale and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. You can enjoy it if you want, but stop trying to defend this crap when others bring up valid criticisms.

i have a question
how the hell do the fusions know their names? like if you're grown as a ruby or an amethyst, the other gems just know what those are, and tell you
but fusion was taboo on their planet so if a ruby and a sapphire fuse into a garnet, how do they know what a garnet is? surely there are no 'natural born' garnets, right?

my theory is that as a fusion Steven felt part of stevonnie want to dance with the pretty guy that showed her attention (because Connie has never had any friends or suitors and feels good that she is being shown attention)

bringing forth jealousy and territorialism from Steven, which is the only reason a guy would hate on another guy they don't know for flirting with their GF

>>
>>92060364
I had a friend of mine break down laughing in the middle of watching an episode together. She caught it on a glance, but it was because Steven was standing in front of a fridge. That's why it's my favorite model inconsistency because it was the one that organically drew our attention to it.

She started giggling uncontrollably, so we had to pause as she wheezed out, "How is he so SMALL!?"
>>
>>92060364
I noticed it in catch and release first. Steven and Amethyst really stuck out to me in that episode.
>>
>>92060012
my interpretation is just that with how the feedback looped created by connie's anxiety at being asked to dance by an older guy with clear 'intentions' caused them to defuse, and how de-fusing comes with its own bad acid trip, on an emotional level steven blames kevin for subjecting him and connie to such a bad experience even though kevin had no idea what was happening
>>
>>92055320
Why are you pretending SU hasn't been ripping off popular animes for the last few years?
>>
>>92059423

The first ones probably just made up their names, and those became the names humans used for the gemstones as well.

When Steven and Amethyst fuse, they spend a moment trying to remember what gem their combination makes, implying Amethyst already memorized fusion names or just fused with Rose at some point. Over the course of the rebellion I bet most fusion combinations were tried out and named.

Does your friend have autism?

Somehow, I think 4chan has warped your understanding of what "autistic" means, anon. It's not a blanket adjective you can use to describe everything.
>>
>>92060609
>at being asked to dance by an older guy with clear 'intentions' caused them to defuse, and how de-fusing comes with its own bad acid trip

that would make sense if de-fusing gave you a bad trip which it does not it's usually shown that bad trips or emotional turmoil in general cause de-fusion.
and kevin did not force them to de-fuse.
he asked them to dance which could have caused emotional dissonance through Connie wanting to be taken by Kevin
and Steven's jealousy at Kevin's up front and confident flirtation style coupled with feeling his GF want to be taken by another man.

they lack any and all masculine qualities
>>
>>92063263
This is the limitation of an idealized cartoon. The male feature is a box chin, cleft optional, and the female feature is a pointed chin. Roundish is the closest you strike to a compromise. After that, it's a question of whether you drew eyelashes. For the body, do you do hips or did you make the shoulders wide?

That's all you've got. The more subtle gender dimorphisms require a lot of detail and that makes animation expensive.

It takes the typical Shonen anime and focus much more on the emotional down to earth side of the situations like people dying mid-adventure, fighting enemies who think they're doing the right thing, and having literally no one to relate to as a half-human hybrid.
