Oh hey, you watched more episodes!
I guess that 1 episode of Gurren Lagann under my belt won't cut it anymore x3

Cat Fingers is fun for straight up strange imagery. It's awsome~

As for Connie just accepting that Steven having magic, just roll with it. At 11 minutes an episode, irrelevant details have to be cut
Concerning Garnet, you actually learn a lot about her in season 1. While she is a lot more subdued and quieter, she gets some pretty solid characterization.

And don't worry, don't worry. You're getting to the point where plot points will start connecting and you can start to piece together the a story.
Glad to know you're liking it! I makes me happy to know that the animation and design isn't still making you projectile vomit!
