Rose lore! All of that aside, Pearl’s “I can sing!” is really funny. Something sad is that, as you know, gems don’t grow up, they’re always one thing. Their appearance in age is a reflection of their mentality, and they all looked somewhat younger before Rose died. Another cool thing is that Amethyst is implied to have grown out her hair to imitate Greg’s!
I always thought it was bc the story is being told in greg’s perspective and in his perspective all the crystal gems are shorter than stevens perspective
I like how people from the same family look alike each other in this show Without at the same time having the both parents looking exactly the same like in gumball and regular show
The gems arent a different age or size, i theorize their designs make them look younger to imply that They were a lot more dependent on Rose at this time, so they appear younger, less mature. Losing rose made them “grow up” in that sense.
I theorize that they were smaller maybe it's different becuase you know they can make themselves taller after they get poofed so they pribally got poofed and looked like that
Steven Universe always makes sure the chords are animated correctly when playing instruments! Music is such a large part of the show, so they wanted to depict it as accurately as possible.
I think the main reason a lot of people think the Gems look smaller in this episode is because we're comparing them to an adult Greg in the flashback. Young Greg and Steven look pretty similar but Greg is actually quite a bit older and taller (old enough to have already dropped out of community college). So when he's standing next to Amethyst and Pearl, it makes them look smaller than usual because we're used to comparing them to a much shorter Steven. In the present, Greg is around as tall as Pearl and a lot taller than Amethyst. So it would make sense for that to have also been the case back then too.
This episode feels real special, I still like listening to that song sonetimes ^^ I like how we get the implication that Steven's been told this story before (minus Marty), it's good to know Steven isn't just entirely left in the dark about stuff 🤣 The Gems looking younger in this episode is more a stylistic choice, their outfits emphasize "smallness" more, plus they're next to Greg now, who's taller than Steven, and of course Rose, who towers over everyone
The fact that they acted so dependent towards Rose and looked up to her in that way really hits with how lost they have shown to be without her in episodes like “the test”
I am fairly sure that amethyst and pearl are the same size. Now this show does have inconsistencies with character sizes so this may be one of them but to me they look the same height. I think amethyst looks smaller because her outfit and hair are clearly made to make her look younger so I think our brains just assume she is smaller too. Her hair gives her a little more height with how poofy it can be too. With Pearl I just dont really see it at all she looks the same height to me. Maybe its because she is usually being compared to steven who is really short?
There was an in-joke among the Crewniverse that SU was the rebooted sequel to a "No Need For Greg" anime series. The flashback parts of Story For Steven could have been its pilot episode. ("Hey, didja hear they're making a sequel to No Need For Greg? It's going to be called Steven Universe and it's about the son of Rose Quartz and Greg. Rumor has it that Rose died to give birth to Steven." "Man, that's sounds so lame. Why don't they leave the classics alone?") Recall from Rose's Scabbard that Pearl related how Rose Quartz led the Crystal Gems to victory against heavy odds. So, at the least Rose Quartz was "A" Crystal Gem leader whom GAP look up to. More to come. Greg is such a chill live-and-let-live kind of guy, it's a jolt when he says that someone is dead to him. Since Rebecca Sugar plays guitar, I'm sure that the close-up of Greg's playing is accurate; the rest is just rote animation to save production costs.
They are not meant to be shorter, it was a error, because in the "Too many Birthday" episode, they had a photo of them (which happened way before than here) and they weren't this short. Also i never noticed the Animation Director's last name was Demayo, that's nice.
5:46 yep, every since 1x2 Light Cannon (we used to have Rose xyz it would be so _easy_ if she was here), Indirect Kiss (healing), The Test ( You can't x, he shouldn't y, and we don't have Rose to tell us what to do anymore!) etc 8:44 an Indirect Kiss "We used to have a fence" k
It's just weird pespective by the animators in this episode. Rose is giant, and Greg is taller then Steven there, but it doesn't look like that at all.
I think it was intentional. They are so dependant on rose before they lose her, sp they find a way to portray that they grew up after they lost her. All their heights match up correctly with the present, but since theres no steven to compare them to, they feel smaller compared to greg, and especially smaller compared to rose
@@af3897 I think it's because people were still on the fence about Steven, you know sometimes people don't like kid stars because the child actors can be screechy or worse, but Steven sounds like an actual kid. It didn't bother me mainly because I've heard Lilo and Stitch and Lilo's voice was the same quality, an actual child that sounds and acts like a child.
Well their forms can change appearance. Maybe they felt younger back then and wanted to be a bit taller after Rose was gone? But the show can also be kinda inconsistent with heights. Lol Who knows.
This episode is probably my fav from s1 also the whole “early seasons r better “ thing rings try for most shows except this one in my opinion hahaha, all the seasons r good but u def get more lore heavy eps like these later on so ur in for a ride!!!!

I assume they look different because we're always comparing them to Steven who hasn't reached the height of this taller Greg.
@@luiss95 oh 100% that as well xD and also rose makes them look tiny by comparison

"Rose has a really sexy voice" Don't worry, you're not the only who thought that at least once.

I believe amethyst took inspiration from Greg and that’s why she has the long hair. The short hair on her definitely makes her look alot younger.
"Just a comet" is my top 5 best songs in Steven Universe
I'd love to see that list

I agree, Rose has a certain sultry in her voice.
Rose basicly voice by megara from disney hercules, and let just say
Best choice ever and fit rose so well too xD

it only gets better tbh, also pearls outfit UGHHH
Great reaction as usual, just so you know, the next 2 episodes have little secrets in the endings, nothing much, but might be worth you watching.
6:04 Well yeah? Did u miss the part where they said she _lead_ them to war? She's the leader.
It’s five seasons of the show, the movie then the epilogue series
Regarding the show’s quality, season one is usually the least favorite among fans but I still really love it!
Folks are so wrong for this
fr?? maybe it's just bc i have hindsight but i genuinely love s1 and i think besides the series finale, it has my favorite season finale

This episode is def one of my favs in season 1 i was obsessed with gregs song and i def my fav backstory epsiode😇
They shouldn't have been drew shorter, they really don't get older.

@@rhyanabbott2909Yeah. If you see Rebecca's drawings, Rose is way taller than Garnet, not just a little like in the show.
Greg backstory!
It’s so beautiful ❤
guys... GUYS WE'RE ALMOST THERE
im so excited
Great reaction!
This episode is probably my fav from s1 also the whole “early seasons r better “ thing rings try for most shows except this one in my opinion hahaha, all the seasons r good but u def get more lore heavy eps like these later on so ur in for a ride!!!!
Would you go to a Greg concert, CC?
Thanks for replying 😀
Just finished my binge of the playlist not really a binge considering i spent like 3 days watching it
the reason everyone looks younger than they really are is because steven is imagining the scenario
have you finished watching season 1 of steven universe?
look at the title buddy
@@Zhaxxy thats not what i meant lol
@@Zhaxxyyou do know reaction youtubers have episodes already recorded
Hell for all we know this dude might already be midway season 2 and were still here at season 1
