It's hard to say at this point. The GBS thread closed itself because they were sort of being overwhelmed by people just discussing the show and posting fan art. It was kind of funny and pathetic.

I'm convinced that half the people who watch Steven Universe like it because they judge entertainment based on political merits first and whether or not it's good second, and the other half watch it because it's anime in American cartoon form. While these things aren't mutually exclusive, there's probably not much overlap. Since I'd rather not be lumped into either group, that's why I won't watch that show.

Sithsaber should come back. That guy was a righteous fire on the AT thread. I kind of figured that the SU thread would be given the starcitizen/hellthread treatment where insane people could generate 5 pages a day and be left alone.

SU is a really good show with a really bad fanbase. I'm not saying you have to like this how but not watching it because if the fanbase is just missing out on a good thing for pretty much no reason.

For me SU is a lot like Sym-Bionic Titan in that it seems like a show that I would like a lot more if I had enough nostalgia for and emotional attachment to the source material (magical girl anime and giant robot shows, respectively) like a lot of its fans seem to have.

The SU thread was great (by which I mean "terrible") because it was full of people completely mistaking very basic plot beats and common story elements for totally inappropriate and incomprehensible headcanon poo poo.

(madoka was three years ago and one exception ever) i may like the occaisional anime in general but my undergrad was in a nerd college where everyone knew about every final fantasy and metal gear and were talking about one piece and chobits, dorm even had a "bad hentai night" event i never attended, so I was the least anime person there and I still like steven universe. (the advertisements are also really misleading as is the fanbase, it's not cloyingly twee like the ads or politically judgemental and just nuts like the fanbase. ever watch "i remember you" and "simon and marcy" from adventure time? that's it.) i never where people are going on about these shows that obviously have a general audience and people say you have to have nostalgia or something to watch it.

Samurai Jack is also videogames, in that the episode where he fights a dragon has a wise man telling him to go in one direction to find the Dragon's Lair while the other direction leads to Space Ace.
