Preview for Adventures in Light Distortion

  • January 29, 2017

Cartoon Network has put up a clip from Adventures in Light Distortion, presumably as a preview. If you want to whet your appetite for Monday it’s not too spoiler-heavy (well, except for the title!), but you have been warned! Continue Reading to see the preview… If you dare!

Looking back at Monster Reunion

  • January 28, 2017

Oh poor Centipeetle… At least there was a happy ending!

After all of this time we still don’t know what Centipeetle’s actual name is. (Pearl mentions Nephrite in Bismuth, and that’s a green stone, so there are good odds she’s a Nephrite, but it’s still possible she’s something else.) She has the hair of a quartz, but not the shiny gem of a quartz. Curious…

As nicely illustrated as Centi’s history lesson was (as far as flashbacks go, it was a great choice of art style for such a broad overview), we didn’t learn all that much we didn’t already know. Having her perspective of it was neat though, and we did learn that the Homeworld Gems didn’t know why they were evacuating the planet in such a hurry.

Of course earlier in the episode Pearl had already confirmed what Same Old World had showed us: that the Diamonds were responsible for unleashing the corruption onto Earth. As we’ll surely discuss when we get to Earthlings, it’s quite interesting that Jasper seems unaware of the origins of corruption…

Preview for Steven’s Dream

  • January 26, 2017

Have you dutifully avoided all spoilers, but still want to watch the preview for the start of the next Steven Bomb? Cartoon Network has you covered! They’ve posted a preview for Steven’s Dream to their YouTube channel for your enjoyment, perfectly designed to pique your interest without spoiling the episode.

Don’t forget to watch the Out of This World bomb from January 30 – February 2

  • January 25, 2017

Even if you saw it back when Cartoon Network had the entire bomb up on their website, or saw it from your TV provider on demand, don’t forget that next week we’ll be getting a new episode each day from Monday through Thursday (with two on Monday!).

They’ll be airing each night at 7:00 PM EST, so you can plan accordingly. 🙂

Be sure to join in the excitement with all of your fellow fans: Cartoon Network is getting everyone hyped for this, and hyped is what we really are.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 123: Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service

GC13 and Sophia discuss the best episode of Steven Universe named after a Studio Ghibli film: Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service.

How many pizzas can you carry with one arm? Can you beat Kiki’s displayed strength, all while running fast enough to deliver warm pizzas to the hungry citizens of Beach City? (If so, Mayor Dewey is probably hiring interns.) Jenny may have broken the delivery car, but apparently Kiki doesn’t need it.

Stand up for yourself: it’s not being mean to not let others take advantage of you. Being nice and helpful is one thing, but you won’t always have Steven around to help you fight your inner cheese demons.

Looking back at Kiki’s Pizza Delivery Service

  • January 19, 2017

Two forks, it’s fancy.

We go right from pizza bagels to delivering mountains of full-sized pizzas (Kiki may be a runner, but her arms are apparently in great shape too if she’s carrying all of those pizzas around town!). What a time to be alive!

Don’t let anyone say that Steven doesn’t value others’ privacy: he was pretty clearly distraught and apologetic when he found out that he had been in Kiki’s dream, showing that he still remembers what he learned back in The New Lars. (Not that Kiki’s holding it against him mind you, since having a dream warrior for a friend can be pretty handy whether or not you’re being stalked by a magical serial killer.)

It’s nice to see a show being up front with its moral (you have to make time for yourself too) without being too preachy about it (a problem lots of older programs had). It’s also nice to see the show referencing more anime (Evangelion gets the honor again this time).

Well, that’s it for today: there’s an awesome cheese rave at the pizza cave we need to get to. 🙂

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 122: Restaurant Wars

GC13 discusses a particularly humorous episode of the Steven Nuke: Restaurant Wars.

It may not have involved literal armed warfare between the two restaurants in question, but no one can deny that both mobilized some serious effort to dramatically drum up business (even the fry stand was doing deliveries, which says a lot about how crazy things must have been).

Plus Kofi went totally crazy and tried to brand Steven.

Let us all just take a moment of silence now to remember how close we came to losing the budding romance between Ronaldo and Jane. Never forget how fragile love can be.
