Preview for Shirt Club

Oh yeah, give us five! It’s Shirt Club time. Who’s ready to spend some time with Buck Dewey? Garnet’s long-lost son (who, despite being lost for a really long time, was living in the same town the entire time). Is it t-shirt time where you are?

Jeff Liu posts: Rose’s theme (acoustic)

It’s been a while since we had a music post, but Jeff Liu is willing to provide! This acoustic version of Rose’s theme (0:29) plays at the end of Story for Steven. Give it a listen!

 

Immediate reaction to Story for Steven

mruniverse2Alright, we give up. If this isn’t the episode with Rose’s song in it then we just don’t know how we’re ever going to predict it. They had such a perfect opportunity for a duet but they didn’t take it. Oh well. On the bright side, this means that they were recording for season two back in October. (Well, either that or she somehow sings in Shirt Club, but… Well, we’re not sure even Ronaldo would predict that one.)

It was great to see the temple with a fence around it, and without Steven’s room built up around it (we got a peek at it in Lion 3: Straight to Video but we got to get really close in Story for Steven). Also, the outfits.

There was a lot of subtle stuff about how the Crystal Gems interacted with humans (or, more accurately, how they didn’t) that was gold, and Amethyst’s much younger apparent age will no doubt provide fuel for speculation.

What to expect from Story for Steven

mruniverseFeels. You should expect feels from Story for Steven. There’s no way such an exuberant song can be paired up with such an empty concert and there not be feels. Still, we know that Greg finally got the life in the stars he said he was living, so at least it ends on a bright note.

Also, this episode has a high degree of likelihood for being the episode we get to hear Rose Quartz sing in. Who’s hyped for that? We know we are.

New episode: Shirt Club will air on April 16, 2015

And one week after Story for Steven we’ll be getting the last episode produced with season oneShirt Club. When you hear about a low-key episode like this you should duck for cover and start wondering just how this episode could get serious. Even if they don’t hit us hard with a feels train in Shirt Club, it will be interesting to see how magic seeps into the episode.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 14: Say Uncle

PodcastTitleGC13, Ken, Dakota, and Hunter discuss the crossover between Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa: Say Uncle. Many laughs were made out loud, and if you dislike Say Uncle then Ken will find you.

Clarence and Codename: Kids Next Door – and attempts to build support for a new Galactic Kids Next Door series – come up. The group also discusses the new Steven Universe game on mobile: Attack the Light.

Finally, Ken, Dakota, and Hunter show off their musical talents with their hit single: WACC SOF. 😉

Song of the week: Golf Quest Mini OST

With the release of Attack the Light Steven Universe finally has an RPG of its own (still no mithril putter though). Steven knows a thing or two about RPGs, and we can only assume that Golf Quest Mini isn’t the only one he’s played. 🙂 So to honor the new game, the Golf Quest Mini OST is the song (collection) of the week.

Plus Steven and Uncle Grandpa were playing on a Game Cube in Say Uncle, so we have to get some gaming goodness in here.
