a truly delightful read for any fan of the show, because it gives you insight into just how much love and hard work (and details!! good lord, the details) goes into SU. there were some issues with repetition/overlap of discussions, but that's understandable when you're coordinating interviews with so many people on so many things. the art inserts are beautiful, full color, and high resolution. i'm so glad i read this, because it gave me a whole new level of appreciation for everything that is Steven Universe.

This book is a must read for any Steven Universe lover. It details the origins, a brief history of Rebecca Sugar, how it is animated, and the rest of the crewniverse. Steven Universe: Art & Origins gave me more information about the unique show that has captured my interest since I first discovered it. When reading about the origins, there were details that completely surprised me (I'll leave that for you to discover) I loved Peridot's concept art, learning how they did the music for the episode "Gem Drill" and the section looking at the art for the episode, "The Answer". A true lover of Steven Universe can not be content to simply watch the episodes. There is so more to this story than what we see on the screen. A true fan wants to know every detail, and this book delivers.

When my husband and I started watching SU, we knew we were in for something special, unique and pure, and this book inexplicably shows how this special, unique and pure series is what it is. Every ounce of hard work, energy, determination, and ultimately love and soul (so much love and soul) from each member of the production team puts into SU absolutely shows in the final product. You know they care because you can see and feel it. Reading this book has not only been enlightening but a sheer joy, emanating positivity and all the good feels.

Freaken gorgeous. And entertaining. I loved learning so much about the creation of one of my favourite tv shows. The people sound so nice and their stories are entertaining. Also it was really cool to see the designs they didn't end up going with.
Also they knew/wrote so much before hand/before episodes with the information were made. Which means that they know stuff that isn't out now. UGH. I want to know more guys. That picture with Pearl and the mysterious pink haired lady was just.....yes. Please give Pearl a girlfriend.
Anyway back to the book. I loved it. So many pictures and talking about the music types that go with each character. It was great.
Now I'm even more excited about the future episodes of Steven Universe and I didn't think that was possible.
