Steven Universe

Steven Universe is the brainchild of Rebecca Sugar, one of the people who worked on the famous, highly successful Adventure Time. Coincidentally, this also makes it the first original show on Cartoon Network that was exclusively created by a woman. The series' pilot was aired on May 21, 2013 with the series itself being first aired in the United States on November 4, 2013, and is still running for what will currently be three seasons.

The show is about the titular Steven Universe, a young boy hailing from Beach City and his adventures with the heroic magical alien trio known as the Crystal Gems. Steven is half-gem himself, and inherited his powers and gemstone from his late mother and former Crystal Gems leader Rose Quartz. He hasn't gotten the hold of his powers quite yet, but he doesn't let it get him down: he's still more than happy to tag along with the Gems on their various adventures in order to help protect mankind from threats such as magical monsters and the like. Together with the calm and collected Garnet, the graceful yet neurotic Pearl, and the easy-going mischievous slacker Amethyst, the peppy and enthusiastic Steven has quite the exciting life ahead of him!
