Chowder is a fantastic show that can be viewed by all ages. The humor is top notch and the show overall doesn't take itself very seriously. It's just all in all a fun show to watch whether by yourself or with family. The cast of characters is very memorable from the stern silent Schnitzel, a man of few words (well okay only one word), Mung Daal, the neurotic head chef who is forced to deal with Chowder's antics and last but not least the title character Chowder, an adventurous young boy who dreams of one day becoming as great a chef as his mentor. There are many memorable lines from the show, and the conversations between characters is as crazy as the show itself. Last but not least the animation in Chowder is unlike any show that came before it. Utilising a wide array of animation styles from stop motion, to even puppets. The animation really shines through in the character designs, Chowder himself is designed using a special technique to get that iconic textile pattern on his clothes. All in all Chowder is a brilliant show from the mid to late 2000s and I'm confident it will be remembered for years to come.

Steven Universe, where do I even begin? This show was first brought to my attention back in 2013 when the first few episodes aired on CN (Cartoon Network). At first I was reluctant to watch it and dismissed it as another one of CN's string of bad shows (Uncle Grandpa). While I was not 100% right the first few episodes were pretty lackluster and didn't have the charm that the show would soon develop. 2 years late in mid 2015 I decided to give the show a try, I watched season 1-2 and was honestly blown away. While the first few episodes were still pretty bad the later episodes were some of the best television had to offer. I've become attached to the Crystal Gems and am always excited when a chance to go on adventure with Steven and the gang comes up (sadly there are many hiatuses). Steven Universe has helped me through some rough times in my life and has changed me as a person for the better. Through teaching subjects like emotions and how they are completely normal and healthy for one to expresss. The show is a masterpiece and I really hope to see more from Rebecca Sugar.
