What we learned from Mindful Education

Fusion episode = Fusion facts! Finally we know a bit more about what we’ve seen going on inside Stevonnie’s head, and we’ve seen a bit of what’s going on in the deeper portions of Steven’s head (his Vault, if you’ll permit the reference to Adventure Time).

Aivi and Surasshu post: Here Comes A Thought

They didn’t waste much time. Not only is the clip up on Cartoon Network’s YouTube channel, but Aivi and Surasshu have posted Here Comes A Thought (3:21) from Mindful Education. Get to jamming!

Ratings for Mindful Education

Mindful Education was seen by 1,334,000 viewers on its premier yesterday. The Amazing World of Gumball also premiered an episode, so here’s how the two shows stacked up:

  1. Steven Universe at 7:00 PM with 1,334,000
  2. Amazing World of Gumball at 5:00 PM with 1,170,000

Immediate reaction to Mindful Education

Mindful Education was definitely a character episode. It doesn’t look like we got much lore or speculation out of it, but we should definitely get some mileage out of the close look at fusion we got (we don’t get nearly enough of those).

New episode: Future Boy Zoltron will air on September 1, 2016

Preview for Mindful Education

The preview for Mindful Education has been posted. Make sure to watch the episode when it premiers tomorrow at 7:00 PM EDT!

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 101: Buddy’s Book

PodcastTitleGC13, Sophia, and Hunter discuss Buddy’s Book (the first weekly episode we’ve had in a long time that wasn’t part of some special event).

So, this episode had drama; it had adventure; it had lions! (And shushing!) We can’t know what the story behind the lions is yet, but it’s a pretty sure bet that we’ll learn at some point.

Also, there is another mystery: where exactly is the Buddwick Public Library? It’s not in the main area of Beach City we’ve seen in the show, but it must be part of Beach City. Perhaps it’s near the movie theater…

Now if only we could get some fanart of some jubilant Rubies carrying Jasper around and singing about how great she is…

What could Buddy’s Book mean?

Why do there have to be episodes with so many questions and so few answers? Yes, they’re fun to wonder about, but… Alright, they’re very fun to wonder about actually. Buddy’s Book is definitely high up on the list of unanswered questions though. Still, read on, and we’ll ask those questions, and try to answer what we can.

What we learned from Buddy’s Book

Well now that the barrage of constant episodes is over and we can finally collect ourselves, it’s time to settle in and talk about the first weekly episode after the Summer Adventure: Buddy’s Book.

It had some tantalizing stuff in it (a lot of speculation fodder), but first let’s go over the concrete stuff we learned from Buddy’s recordings. Please do read on!
