First Time Watching Steven Universe - It's Over Isn't It (Reaction!) : Behind the Curve Reacts 

This show talks about alot. Trauma, PTSD, broken families, grief, intrusive thoughts, identity, relationships and so much more. Its not just a kids show, its a masterpiece.

Steven Universe is such a great show. Early season 1 is a kids show for sure but it evolves into something so much more. Love Like You is a BRILLIANT song from the show

“I didn’t know it had songs” *Steven Universe being known for it’s great music that appears in most episodes and has a musical movie*

Children are way more mature than you think. I remember watching this when I was a lot younger and even then I knew it was beautiful. Children want to be moved, they want to feel things, they want to cry just like any adult. Children aren't stupid, they just lack context on life but they want to learn

The voice actress here, Deedee Magno Hall, is a well known musical theatre performer, and I think that experience lends a lot to her ability to express herself through singing. She has a lot of great songs in this show. If you want to check out more music, I definitely recommend Here Comes a Thought (which is primarily sung by Estelle).

A lot of kids shows have way deeper themes than you'd expect, and I honestly don't think it's wasted on kids at all haha Teaching kids to deal with stuff like grief and anxiety and love and growing up is basically the CORE of this kind of show, and it's why it's loved so much by people of every generation. I think you'd really enjoy the show, and you should absolutely watch it whether you choose to react to it on here or not!

Steven Universe it’s great! This song is the best song from the show, and while this comes from The Musical Episode, there’s musical numbers every now and then trough the series. I recommend checking Here Comes A Thought, and (only if you don’t plan on watching and don’t mind spoilers) For Just One Day Let’s Only Think About Love.

Fun fact the singer deedee sang it so well they had to re animate it to fit it better

Patti LuPone & Christine Ebersole are in this show, Estelle is in the main cast, Nicky Minaj made a cameo, We also have Susan Egan (Megara from Hercules) and a few other talented singers. The show is stacked with talent.

Here Comes a Thought really helped me a lot you should definitely do it. And yes the one singing this song and the boy are main characters. I also recommend Do it For Her, and Drift Away

Definitely give the full version of "Love Like You" a shot! Absolutely beautiful piece made as Steven Universe's ending theme every episode. Plus the song itself holds a lot of sincere context for how Steven's mom felt about his dad.

"I'm pretty sure it's geared toward kids," he says.....

It's not a musical show per se but they do have a song by a recurring character played by PATTI FREAKING LUPONE

*[Pearl has some really brilliant songs]*

Steven Universe is marvelous, and it has so many wonderful songs! So happy to see this featured here! The voice actress for Pearl (a major character throughout) is Deedee Magno Hall. The show itself… pretty groundbreaking. Like others have said, the first season has somewhat of a different tone but it evolved over time. So worth watching.

Steven Universe was an experience in so many ways.

Steven Universe deals with a lot of different types of relationships. It is a bit off the wall and weird, but the themes are about how to handle different kinds of friendships, love and family. It also deals with the idea of restorative rather than retributive justice, which makes it a bit controversial as even the worst villains get a chance to mend their ways and work to repair the damage they've caused. It has a lot of great lessons for kids and they're quite sophisticated. Thing with Pearl (the singer) is that she had a really unhealthy attachment to Rose, the woman she's singing about, and hasn't ever really dealt with her grief or her love for her. So it's not just healthy relationships they look at. There's also Garnet, who is a 'fusion' or metaphorical relationship between two tiny lesbians. Steven has to navigate everyone's expectations of him, his relationship to a parent he never knew and eventually the resulting trauma from having all this put on him from a young age. It was ahead of its time. A bit clumsy sometimes, to be sure, but definitely one of my favourites. The risks it took made it easier to make complicated and queer cartoons for kids later on. She Ra and Owl House wouldn't exist without it.

A few songs from Steven Universe to watch: Here comes a thought. Drift away. Stronger than you. Other friends. Full disclosure. Let's only think about love.

Oh this song :'( Steven Universe was not a musical but is did have lots of songs here and there.. I would say is an adventure show for kids and it also has some little "heavier" and serious topics... I would love to see a reaction to Do it for her and Stronger than you.. and all the songs in the other commets

My sister made me watch this and wasn’t into it at first but I fell in love with it. I literally sobbed multiple times during the series

Steven universe has amazing lessons in it for a show geared for children. I wish I had a show like this when I was young. I relate so much to the main character steven. And I have always loved musicals from a young age so starting this show as a teenager I was instantly in love with the amazing music it has throughout its entirety. An amazing show every child must watch.

"It's an animated show and so it's geared towards kids" - you just gave this Anime fan flashbacks. This reasoning is why we got the frosty mug of water in the localized version of DragonBall Z.

Ms. DeeDee has a very brilliant voice. Love the VAs so much!!

Steven Universe is such a fantastic show! The early episodes in season one are very episodic and often very goofy. However, about halfway through season one the wider story starts to reveal itself. 😊 It’s not a musical show, like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, as most episodes don’t have musical numbers. However many do, and they’re all pretty fantastic! This particular song is from a magnificent episode in season 4 that just went 100% full out musical, with more singing than talking. I think that episode has at least 5 separate songs in it, (6 if you count a reprise) and they’re all great! “It’s Over Isn’t It?” and “Both of You” are both extremely cathartic and deep, and work extremely well back to back. If you feel so inclined, I’d highly recommend checking out more songs from it, or just doing a full out reaction of the series! 😁 Some songs I love: - “Both of You” - “Do it for Her” - “Something Entirely New” (might be spoilery) - “Here Comes a Thought” - “Comet” - “That Distant Shore” - “What’s the Use of Feeling (Blue)?” And many more, that work better when you have more context from the show. ☺️

Whoever played the piano on this needs a shout out too

Fun fact: they had to redo the animation and make a different instrumental than originally planned bcs the voice actress sung TOO hard

the music in this show is so amazing. this one gives me chills every time

here comes a thought is definitely the next one you want to go for if you want the same beautiful tear jerking vibe

This is still my favorite music on SU, her voice is beautiful and this scene has so much emotion, even after those years this one aged so damn well with the story.

Steven Universe is good for all ages. And it has a LOT of songs throughout the series, although not every episode, or even most episodes, have songs like this. It takes on a variety of topics throughout the series, and gives all the feels 5/5 stars

“UGGHOH my HEART!” Exactly my reaction back when I first saw this episode

Here Comes a Thought is another visually stunning number, with the main vocals from Estelle.

I second all the song recs in this comment section but just be wary of spoilers if you’re considering actually watching the show!

Wasted on kids? You have to give them more credit. Kids are alot smarter and understand alot more than most of us realize.

The whole show is a single artwork.

Its sad to see how adults forget that Kids are a lot smarter and perceptive than they look This isn't "wasted on kids", this helped kids to deal with a lot of things, " here comes a thought " helped me a lot to deal with my feelings while i was growing, even being a a different type of situation Its over isn't it was so relatable to me after my grandma passed away and i didn't understood how i was feeling cuz i was too young I grow up with Steven Universe and it helped me to grown as a person, just like all of the kids who watched the show, even helped the adults that watched too! It wasn't wasted, was helpful

Jump in... watch the whole episode, it was a musical! It was the test to show they could do a musical movie... and I suggest watching it- Steven Universe the Movie! The music is incredible and the show layers silly fun into the most wonderful and complex story.

This reaction makes me really applaud Steven Universe even more. Kind sir, I hope you know that although that song is one of the top tier of the Steven universe soundtrack. That is only a SPECK of what the show has to offer , MUSICALLY in a beautiful way. I’d love to see more of your reactions to them. You seem musically talented yourself!

I'd recommend Peace and Love (On The Planet Earth)!

I mean - You were kind of right about SU. It is crazy, it is off the wall, but there's also a serious, deep, and cohesive story that pulled at my heartstrings constantly. The plot is amazing, the attention to detail is amazing, every single musical number is amazing. By far, SU touched my heart more than any other TV show I've ever watched in my 30 years.

I remember watching this at 12, and I saved the song in my playlist. Now I’m 20, and jazz is my favorite genre of music and I think this had something to do with it.

omg i missed when you posted this PLEASE react to more steven universe!! id love to see a reaction to "Drift Away" and "Do it for her"

I grew up w Steven universe when it came out I was 10 and now I’m 17 lol I love this cartoon.

Steven universe is a fairly hard science fiction show that initially presents itself as a magical girl kids cartoon because the viewpoint character is a young child. As he grows up, there are discoveries and explanations and a lot of piecing together of backstory, and a lot of things planted even back in the first episode start to connect together and make sense.

I know It's a children's show but...it good for adults to, I promise! I would love a reaction from you, so PLEASE watch it!

"it's geared towards kids" oh boy you don't know the first. So much trauma in this show 😂

I was actually in middle school when this first came out and every week a new episode came out I watched it as it came out. I am now in my early 20s and love musicals. Have since before SU actually. One of my favorite musicals is the movie Sweeney Todd which I recommend if you haven't seen it yet.

One of their songs “love like you” is my personal favorite from the show.

“What kind of show is Steven Universe?” A very special one :’)

If you've seen it you know how symbolic that rose was

Steven Universe is so amazing definitely recommemd

The episode that song comes from is an eleven minute homage to old fashioned musicals, you’d do fine just to react to its entirety. Otherwise, for your channel specifically I’d recommend “What’s the Use of Feeling, Blue?”, Love Like You, Strong in the Real Way, and Let Us Adore You(Reprise) Patti Lupone and Christina Ebersole both did singing and voice work for this show. These songs contain some of their highlights, as well as another song from the lead of this video and a nice jazzy sentimental number sung by the show’s creator that was used for the end credits.

rose was the name of the woman she was refering to and she was holding a rose

The show had lots of one off songs that were excellent, and a handful of fully musical episodes, but the movie is a full on musical. I'd love to see you react to Here Comes a Thought. Or any other song from this show, (which is a kids show with a HUGE teen and adult following, and it gets pretty intense and serious at times, I'm in my thirties and have watched it all like 5 times) or the movie as a whole.

Not wasted on kids. Most fans I know are adults and teenagers

Dude, that's not even the saddest song in SU. The movie will hit you in the feels.

Also I would for sure subscribe to patreon if you were doing a watch through of Steven Universe so keep us posted if you decide to!

I ate this up when i was a kid

I don't think it counts as a musical because it doesn't have a song in every episode but it does have a lot and a good number are bangers A couple to try Stronger Than You: Ship's Going Down Here Comes A Thought: Hiding your feelings Both of You: Mr. Greg--Same episode as this Drift Away: Seven Universe Movie

First song that comes to mind is "What's the use of feeling, Blue", though that's definitely spoilers.

If you want a more upbeat, kids-show-y musical number check out Stronger Than You. If you want something jazzy and contemplative, Here Comes a Thought is great. If you want a song to rip out your heart and stomp on it, I recommend Drift Away 😆. Potential spoilers in all, though!

this describes my heart but with my friend making me so happy by her side and then one day choosing home-school without thinking of how it'll impact me. and now I wont see her for 5 years, and she wont go to the same collage as me,

How was I not subscribed to your channel?! I remember watching your channel some time ago but I guess I never subscribed! Well, I'm subscribed now!

I'd highly recommend you watch it - it starts off slow, ramps up amazingly, and all of the music included is spectacular. It's not fully a musical but it has musical numbers here and there and they all hit hard in my opinion. Not quite as hard as this one (quite honestly one of the best of the best) The journey is very worth it - good for kids, and adults and an amazing bridge for both together. If you can go into it knowing as little as possible it's a heck of a ride! For suggestions that are not as spoilery (and I'll wholeheartedly rec watching it) ~ Do it for Her ~ Both of you (from the same musical episode) ~ Be wherever you are ~Here comes a Thought

Steven Universe is not just a kid's show. My mom watches it and this is her favorite character and song. Please watch more Steven Universe songs!!!!

This particular episode is styled as a musical but there is a song almost every other episode and they are all catching and fun songs. Really thought provoking and many of them have great lessons on self discovery.

You should to react to "here comes a thought" "stronger than you" "drift away" or "independent together"

he was laughing while I was frigging crying-

Steven universe got an Musical movie. That plays after the Events of the TV Serien. Pretty good music

At the point where this is happening some but not kids would know to pin point that kind of sadness.

Steven universe has extremely deeps parts for a kids shows, and it’s music is absolutely adored

Steven universe is literally THE VEST show ever made,the thematics OMG...u need to watch this entire show

The song is so good on its own but something about knowing the backstory and getting to know each character before this always brings a tear to my eyes!

You should react to Here Comes A Thought, and Love Like You from this series. They're both very beautiful emotional songs.

All the song of steven universe are so good

Gurl sweetie I watched this show when it first aired and I watched it until the end of the series and let me tell you that the songs that they showcase in this show, the movie, and the Future show alike are never wasted on me. When this episode came out I rewound that episode 20 times to listen to her sing that song.

Steven Universe is about growing up. The first season is a kids show, because Steven is a kid, but the show grows as he does, growing in emotional depth as he and his world does.

Enjoyed your reaction greatly

Love the reaction!

Some other songs from SU you should definitely check out is drift away, other friends, here comes a thought, stronger than you and the full version of love like you. Every SU song (and there are alot of them) is amazing but these ones are some of my favourites.

Steven Universe is for kids but it's all about coming to terms with your own feelings, managing healthy and unhealthy relationships and accepting differences and flaws in yourself and others. It doesn't have a song EVERY episode but most of it's songs are like this with a few quirky ones but the emotional ones I would say happen more often. It's only silly for season 1 but if emotion is what you're looking for you should also watch full disclosure, drift away and the other 2 songs that were in this same episode and pair with it; the 1st is Mr Greg and the 3rd is Both of you.

This song is even better with the full context, it makes me cry every time! I highly suggest you watch the show, it really gives all the songs so much depth and meaning!

I forgot what that song does to me considering that it has some personal meaning to me. It's a struggle I fight with a lot.

“I didn’t know it had songs” dude, all this show Is singing, singing while crying.

A sad yet heartfelt song about lost love

I highly recommend Steven Universe. It's music is amazing and it deals with such serious issues as grief, unconventional families, lgbtq relationships, abusive relationships, broken families, war, ptsd, etc. It's SO good. Since you liked Pearl's singing and emotions, here, I recommend trying out "Do It For Her".

You’ve won and she’s GOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE

If you liked this then I'd recommend Here comes a thought (also from Steven Universe)

Don’t know if you seen the show at this point so here’s an explanation of the song. Steven’s alien mom Rose died in childbirth and Pearl was in love with her but Rose only had eyes for Steven’s father Greg. The song is meant to show how she struggles with her grief.

Omg dude... U need to react another songs of this series...

Steven Universe starts off as a Kids show with Mature Undertones and then it punches everyone and everything in the gut so hard that they forcefully cry

this show has made me cry a number of times like ahhh the character developement we don't talk about the rushed ending

Yes! Steven Universe songs! It's a wonderful show with amazing songs! You definitely should check more songs if you're not planning on watching, and if you do - enjoying them along the way with the plot But some songs recommendations anyway: Here Comes A Thought Stronger Then You Do it For Her Drift Away and so much more tho!

It's a really good show, my favorite :D !

Could you just talk about whole pearl's entire character ark basically just her getting over rejection, her character is still pretty good but seriously it took 16 years for her to get over rejection.

The whole episode "Mr. Greg", which this song come from, was a musical. It was the moment Steven Universe transcended even itself. The whole thing would be worth watching.

I'm 20 almost 21 and own the steven universe bundle that like 80 bucks so yeah this show did some damage to are hearts and being a steven also thank you steven for changing are hearts and rocking are universe ❤️

steven universe is indeed a teens show, but it's very emotionally intelligent and is very enjoyable even for adults! it aims to teach teenagers (and maybe kids and adults) many different things. the complexities of many different types of relationships, the concept of trauma and how it affects people and how to move on from it, jealousy and entitlement, forgiveness and how wether you forgive someone is up to you, toxic relationships and straight up abuse, abandonment and loneliness, accepting eachothers differences, how sometimes authority figures abuse their power and how important it is to be yourself in a world where anyone who steps out of line is punished. so, so so many very important things are communicated in this show. the relationships between two or more people, and the relationship with oneself. it has such good messages for teenagers who are really struggling with all these questions in this time in their life. it taught me so much when I was a teen myself. it's kinda genius how they delivered such messages aswell, there's a thing called fusion in the show and it is both very entertaining and is used as a mouthpiece for relationships and can manipulate it to narrate many different life lessons about relationships. the messages aren't like "love eachother, be kind, friendship will save the day" they're all very applicable to the real world. it doesn't shy away from deep or hard topics such as loss, abuse, struggling with negative feelings, hurting others and being hurt. it was one of the first shows in this demographic to go that far, it was one of a kind and kick-started a very important genre of teen media. sorry this is so long, this show just means a lot to both me and so many different people

“It’s an animated show so I’m pretty sure it’s geared towards kids” Be very careful with that mindset.

:) Thanks for this reaction.
