Silentia Altum wrote: Was it necessary? I would think so, yes, inasmuch as Omniverse was clearly intended to be something very different than its predecessors. There is a profound connection between the nature of a cartoon and the animation it uses. I don't mean at all that a more realistic styles means a more serious tone, but at the same time, Omniverse's zanier take on the Ben 10 world benefits from its quirky art style. (Of course, it ought to be noted that whether the plot change itself was necessary is another question entirely.)

Personally, as a bit of an animation fanatic, I strongly appreciate just how focused OV can be with its art. Everything has been redesigned since last it was seen, which hasn't always turned out well, but at least for the alien transformations, it's miles ahead of UA. Just look at the alien lineup in the UA opening sequence. A considerable number of aliens introduced in the OS are in it, sporting dumbed-down versions of the same old designs. The old designs were largely good, but with nothing added to them and simplified designs, they have uniformly decreased in quality. OV has taken upon itself to redesign everything, and while sometimes it goes a little overboard, this has nonetheless led to some brilliant new designs.

To be honest, I'm deeply saddened that we got this. (>>)

But at the same time, I can't help but admit that I've come to enjoy Omniverse for its visual pleasures. I have seen all the Ben 10 series, i know of ben 10 before this wikia or the series himself goes out, so i can talk without any kind of thing like "i see firts AF so to my that is the best series."

AF and UA wasnt any darker, that the action happen in the night doesnt mean that a series is dark for that, is like if i do regular show but every one of the episode happens in the night worts design ever, that will make the show darker?

No, that doesnt do it any darker, for my (i have look comics like Sin City) darker is that a cop kills a guy only for money, in that way the only episode of Ben 10 that i dark is "Catch a Falling Star", because all the episode is like a bad and cartoon version of a detective following a psycho villain running.

This series is best that the others in the Animation part, yes Omniverse have mistakes of animation, but they are because the desings are so define with colors and lines, that imagine to copy and paste the same image with changes, when have to do big changes.

You know why in the Intro of UA some aliens have the same design of the before series (like Bliztwolfer), because they was lazy artist, really lazy, The Ultimatrix doesnt have a clothe configuration (or at less that is what they say to explain the crappy design of Four Arms), so i ask myself how all the people in the world miss this huge mistake, every one of the aliens have to be redesign between series because when Ben change of device, the aliens change too.

Is like Four Arms that have mostache or the green clothes, what would like you more, to see a bad and lazy design of the old Bliztwolfer or the new design that have coherence with the plot of the new series?

The Anime style is part of the new redesign, whe have 50 episodes for god sake, we wacth so many episodes and the people dont look foward that a style of Animation, like in the OS where in the fights Ben and the villains do some poses like comic book scene.
