OS was really great for it's audience appeal, but that's sort of my problem with it. Too childish. I guess I watched that series when I was too old to enjoy it as much as I would've.

Though I can't see how OV is on the same level as AF. The only flaw in AF was ses 3, but even that wasn't as bad in comparison with the confusing muddle of OV ses 1. AF's DNAlien saga was probably the most impressive out of the whole show. 3 kids faced with aliens infiltrating their planet. Desperately keeping them at bay despite being greatly outnumbered, and being forced to mature in the dark times. Putting aside pride and seeking assistance from others by forming a team. Each character developed so beautifully, plus the moral dilemnas were brilliantly done. And I loved it how Ben explores each new alien, and carefully deciding which one. Rather than OV which just threw in a stack of random aliens (although I liked a fair few like Bloxx and Gravattack).

UA was crap at the start, but the Map of Affinity/Ultimate Kevin arc was quite impressive as well. A vengeful Ben attacking Aggregor after he absorbed the aliens, and him contemplating putting Ultimate Kevin down. I was just pulled in the whole way.
