Eh, I could believe they'd do something unthinkingly racist like put in a 'cameo' of a particular black person but then make them the same colour as the rest of the crowd so as not to stand out. Specifically thinking something like "people would think it's weird to suddenly have a random black guy in centre shot, right?" (or "we're trying to evoke a European setting, and euros are all light skinned") which is obviously hella racist, but that's :japan:

And it really does look a lot like them, apart from the skin tone thing.

Sorta, but the skin tone says "white dude" unless you're told specifically otherwise. I'm reminded of the comic on the nib.

I think what's most likely is the colorists weren't instructed otherwise since whoever slipped in the cameos probably didn't think to mention it (or couldn't, depending on who actually was responsible for it and how much communication they had with the colorists in the first place). The crowd scenes are relatively brief and they also had the rest of movie to work on, so they likely just used the same general tone for everyone in the crowd, since you can't really expect some random japanese animator or colorist to be familiar enough with staff/characters on an unrelated foreign cartoon to notice something like that if it's not explicitly pointed out.

Yes, anime nowadays is generally colored digitally by a separate team once the actual animation has been completed. It's difficult to know what exactly Trigger's workflow is but that's how most other studios do it, so I am making some assumptions here.

Yeah, I'm not saying they're intentionally being racists, I just wasn't sure if it was an intentional cameo for him or not.

Rose was involved in gem and biological research that made even modern homeworld research look like cavemen banging rocks together. Steven is her magnum opus, once he masters using his body and his gem in harmony, he'll basically be Thanos. You can read all about it on my blog.

Here's what I think is a small spoiler about sardonyx from Steven's voice actress from the Latin American dub: https://twitter.com/LeishaMedina/status/617501611796078592

Apparently it involves shape-shifting.:v:

Pretty much every comic by that person is funny as hell:
"GEMSONAE":

I can hear the lines in everyone's voices, it's that accurate.

"The Hot One":


"Shapeshifty":

All are from here, obviously.

Some of these might have been posted before, but they're funny as hell so here they are again!

Basically just that Sardonyx will first show up in episode 64, which is Keystone motel. Makes me wonder why they're just randomly going to onion's house right after meeting a new gem

Maybe the new gem gets poofed, and Onion just picks it up and pockets it

Does anyone else kind of hope Sneeple end up being real?

Picture this: later in the series Steven and the Gems start meeting other alien races, and one of those alien races ends up being a bunch of reptilian people that look an awful lot like snakes. I'd love it if they were all very friendly and nice, but Ronaldo is still super convinced they're somehow sinister (they don't mind though, because they're way chill and think he's a cool and funny guy).

watching 'we need to talk' again and I am awed at how much of a loving professional Greg is. dude doesn't miss a beat when confronted with mind blowing weirdness or hot alien babes making out. kind of makes me feel like some bad poo poo must have gone down to make him so wary about 'magic stuff' by the start of the series. other than losing Rose, I mean.

The way he tells it, he just stays away because of stern warnings from the gems, and certain things like shapeshifting just creep him out. Fusion is one thing he's familiar with and not really bothered by in the present day.
