Steven Universe ask 5: Top 5 episodes
Ahhh, the hardest question to ever ask a fan. For my own sanity, this list isn’t in any particular order. And for all I know, I’d have difference answers another day. But these are among my favorites.
1. Lion 3: Straight to Video - It was the first episode I saw that caught my interest. Actually, I had seen a few other early first season episodes, but early SU wasn’t its finest and thus didn’t grab my attention. This episode, however, made me bawl, and I’ve never been the same :)
2. Mindful Education - A beautiful episode with a great message as well as gorgeous animation and a breathtaking song. The ending scene with Connie and Steven falling and talking is still one of my favorites of the entire show.
3. Bismuth - I don’t think I need words for this one. I still cry.
4. Monster Reunion - I love Centipeedle and I love angst and backstory. So of course I was going to love it. Not a sad ending, either—there’s hope.
5. Storm in the Room - Steven talking with his mother is something I’ve been hoping to see, in some shape or form. This was a fantastic way of doing it. Seeing’s Steven’s reaction to looking at his mother for the first time was exactly how I’d imagine it’d feel like; sweet but sad, with something foreboding in the background. And again, it ends on a happier note.
