Review: End of an era, but for now, a fantastic art book for such an amazing show. - For those unaware, the first Steven Universe art book, Art & Origins, goes into detail about the making of the show through seasons 1-4 and this book details with some art on the last of season 4, and the rest of the book is dedicated to showcasing art, storyboards, characters design and various other notes from series creator Rebecca Sugar as well as various other writers, storyboard designers, background producers, etc., to tell the production of the show from then on through season 5 as well as the epilogue mini-series, Steven Universe: Future. Much like the previous art book, End of an Era boasts page upon page of gorgeous artwork detailing multiple episodes of the show, from "I Am My Mom", "The Question", Off Colors", "Change Your Mind" and so on. Furthermore, the art is accompanied by various pieces of rough sketches, filled in color or initial black-and-white, with some notes scattered around the art to further detail what occurs in many scenes of certain episodes. The book also contains promotional art from background characters and art promoting important specials in the show, including "Heart of the Crystal Gems", "Battle of Heart and Mind" along with the movie itself. Also, the book is divided into sections, with the Foward, by acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author, N.K. Jemisin, and her glowing views on the show, including how it changed her view on American fantasy stories and shaped her greater respect for the power of animation to dazzle audiences with stories of self-acceptance and freedom. The first official section, "End of an Era", details notes and artwork of most of season five and how the show's crew mapped out the series deep lore and characters, the second, "The Beginning of the End: A Single Pale Rose" speaks about the show building up to its biggest reveals and the way that shaped certain characters. The third, "The Heart of the Crystal Gems" notes how the main characters are affected by important revelations and what they do to adjust and change. The fourth, "Era III", details the aftermath of the previous story arc, and leading into the next as the characters intend to repair multiple relationships and strive to be free of many external conflicts that have been plaguing them for years. The fifth, "Change Your Mind" details about the conclusion of the main story of Steven Universe and how the characters shaped the world around into a greater one, while the last section, "Steven Universe: Future" wraps everything up about the journey the creators and characters have been through to create the show and how that impacts the legacy of Steven Universe going forward. In conclusion, the outside cover art and inside artwork are beautifully detailed to reflect the change the main characters have had on themselves and the world they inhabit. Ultimately, this book is fantastic, filled with dozens upon dozens of details that fans old, plus the new will adore, all while being a must-have for those who appreciate the art and medium of animation with its ability to change the lives of those around them for the better.
