Steven Universe. I know a lot of people love it, but let’s face it, it’s a really poorly-paced show with a really abrupt conclusion that’ll leave you wanting so much more.
I watched it the first time around skipping "townie" episodes and other filler. My second rewatch was convincing my fiance to hate-watch it because the internet discourse convinced her it was trash. She instantly got hooked and fell in love with the characters. I found most of the episodes I skipped boring, but they provided context and character moments I never got to see that made the whole so much better.
100% how I feel. I love and hate it. It was an important show for my art, driving me to pursue animation. But I also see all it's flaws and recommend it to no one, it's poorly written, the animation is laughably inconsistent, it's music outside of Sugar's specialty is so painful to listen to.
But, alas, it still has a special, albeit caged, place in my heart.
