His father (Greg Universe) fell in love with a Gem named Rose Quartz, who gave up her physical form to create Steven-which explains why he now has the rose quartz gem in his belly button. Steven Universe is a boy who is also half Gem. But just in case you’re like me and you want a quick summary, here goes: The Gems are extraterrestrial beings who have been on earth for thousands of years, though all of them have left except for Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl. Okay, most of you probably know this already, in which case you can just jump ahead to the next question instead. The three discs look like the Crystal Gems: Amethyst, Pearl, and Garnet. I skipped ahead to check out the special features for this review, but we’re planning to go back and catch up together when the 4-year-old’s not watching. My 11-year-old daughter and my wife have both gotten into it as well, but our 4-year-old is a little skeptical still, and prefers My Little Pony and Voltron. I was sent a set of the DVDs, and we started watching it together as a family (while requesting that our teen keep quiet about spoilers), and I’ve just fallen in love with the whole Steven Universe crew. It retails for $24.98, and was released at the end of January. That’s a whole lot of Steven Universe, and a great way to dive into the show for a completionist like me, who prefers to watch shows chronologically, from the beginning. Previous DVD compilations such as Gem Glow and The Return include a dozen episodes each this 3-disc set includes all 52 eleven-minute episodes, along with some extra features. Well, now it’s become available, in the form of the complete first season on DVD. At least this time I’m not a whole decade late.) (Hey, that’s why I’m finally watching Phineas & Ferb now. My teenage daughter had already watched quite a bit of the Cartoon Network show with her friends, but since we don’t have cable and Steven Universe hadn’t appeared on the streaming services we have, it’s just one of those shows that I had marked down to watch later, when it became available. I’m admittedly very late to the party when it comes to Steven Universe.
