Is this something you're really conscious of going forward? I want to thank him for being there for me and there keep being more ways I want to thank him.Ī lot of times when people tell longer stories there's a point where a lot of the color and texture and what made it so unique and interesting are lost because it becomes all about plot machinations. He's working on the show with me, and our relationship keeps changing in the way that he's there for me. There's a story I want to tell, and it's why I wanted to make it about my brother, because he's such an important person in my life. Every time I get more room, I like to think about the nuance of what I want to say in that overarching story I've always wanted to tell. What I want to say about the story is rigid, and its flexible.
I have a lot of thoughts about the plot, and always have, but the feeling that it has is evolving as I'm changing as a person. I want it to keep changing because I'm changing, and everyone on the crew is changing. Up until then, people hadn't seen the show. Really, after "Jail Break," it's the show.

Sugar spoke with SPINOFF ONLINE shortly after the announcement that the show was renewed through its fifth season. That it has made the show such a unique critical and popular success is even more impressive. The way Sugar and her talented team or writers, animators and voice actors have combined a pulpy science fiction story, a certain style of animation, a coming of age story, and an interest in telling tales about friendship and family life, is striking, to say the least. It's also a show about change and growing up, about coming to understand what often feels like an overwhelmingly dangerous world.
It's a show about how the Gems rebelled against their home world in order to protect Earth. After making a name for herself as a writer, storyboard artist and songwriter on "Adventure Time," Rebecca Sugar stepped into the spotlight as the creator of her own animated series: "Steven Universe." The Cartoon Network show, which begins its third season on May 12, follows the story of Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl - three humanoid aliens known as Gems - who are raising a young boy named Steven, himself a half-Gem.
