Why am I becoming obsessed with Steven Universe? You should be too!

Rebecca Sugar worked as a song writer, storyboard artist and some time to time script writer on the animated show Adventure time. After leaving her position within the studio working on Adventure time she remained within Cartoon Network - However began working on her own show, Steven Universe.  Steven Universe is an up and coming new show on it's second series, which focuses on day to day problems and situations of a young boy that just so happens to only be half human.

I really love how the show, despite being very sifi is very human. The show focuses on relationships rather then the fact Steven isn't human.
