Let's start with the visuals. The backgrounds are simple yet beautiful and unique. The animation is fluid and the character's expressions are always on the dot and emotional or comical when need be for either. The characters' designs and color palettes are pretty and fitting for each individual. Using that as a segue, I'd like to talk about the characters. The characters develop well over time, adding to the plot of the show. Since the characters are pretty realistic compared to other television programs, the likablility of a character depends on who is judging. For example, Steven Universe is not the brightest kid, and his excitement can be a bit much to handle, but he has moments where he can calm down and empathize with people. Some viewers love him, some viewers hate him; it depends on the viewer. Also, when a certain character has a sudden outburst when remembering a lost loved one, the viewers can feel pity for the character, but also see the nitty- gritty selfishness and jealousy come out of said character. For some, this is an accurate reaction for trying to cope with the lost for a loved one. The background music fits perfectly for the mood; whether it be sad, emotional scenes such as what was previously mentioned, the funny and peaceful scenes, or the exciting battle scenes. The songs that the characters sing, which isn't that often for those of you aren't into that, are cute and well-written. One of my favorite parts of this show is the story and lore. Since the show, for the most part, is seen from Steven's perspective, we learn more as the show goes on. We learn about why the Crystal Gems are there in the first place, and more of what they are. It's hard to explain without spoiling too much, so you should just watch it! As serious as the show could be, though, it has plenty of humor to balance it out. Even more to add, the show sends many good messages to the children that watch the show. They teach kids that even when something doesn't turn out the way you want it to, it just gives opportunities for other good things to happen (If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs!); others are still people, and deserve to be given a chance because no one is truly evil (This is seen in basically every moment Steven has to figure out how to solve an problem that someone else is causing); etc. There is so much more, but I can only hold someone's attention for so long.
TL;DR: The music, visuals, plot, characters, and messages in the show are all worth a chance, and will likely capture your heart.
