Steven Universe (and general Cartoon Network chat)
Aw shit son, looks like this will be a show to keep an eye on:
Background info:
Looks like there might be a few other good shows debuting on CN's 2013 slate as well. I like the sound of Uncle Grandpa: "Uncle Grandpa is based upon the Emmy®-nominated short of the same name and follows the exploits of Uncle Grandpa—everyone in the world’s 'magical' uncle and grandpa."
I also like the premise of Clarence: "From creator Skyler Page, Clarence is a new original animated series about an optimistic boy who wants to do everything. Because everything is amazing!"
With shows like these and Adventure Time popping up more frequently, and animated movies in theatres being good/decent more often than not (see: Pixar, Disney, recent Dreamworks offerings, stuff like Paranorman and Frankenweenie, etc.), might we be in another golden age of original animation?
Background info:
Slated to debut in 2013, Steven Universe is a coming-of-age story told from the perspective of Steven, the youngest member of a team of magical Guardians of the Universe. The animated series was conceived as part of the shorts development initiative at Cartoon Network Studios, and is created by Emmy and Annie Award-nominated writer and storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar (Adventure Time). Sugar is Cartoon Network’s first solo female show creator.If you haven't seen it already, check out Sugar's short film "Singles", which is pretty damn good:

I think they look fine, but I think I'd need to see them in motion first to judge properly. Feels like when I first saw the G4 pony designs.
Why are they canceling all of the good shows. First The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and now this. I hope they don't cancel the new TMNT.
Still excited to see the new programming, though. Here's hoping it'll all be good so that the other shows didn't die in vain. /crossing fingers
The reason I am not on board with the new PPG designs is because they look too little golden kids book. Sorta inspired by a Tiny Kitten Teeth sort of look. I just don't think it would really work for a PPG story.
Me and Chie had classes with him, and he helped teach me flash.
He did not produce any superpowers from his belly button.
Why can't they be longer?
