Ben 10: Omniverse Art Style – Good or Bad?

Okay, Cartoon Network’s Ben 10 Week has come and gone, and as promised, we got ourselves a sneak peek of the new addition to the Ben 10 franchise with Ben 10: Omniverse. It’s cool and all, with our resident galactic protector teaming up with his younger self (or is it the other way around? Time Travel discussion has always blown my mind!) for twice the action, but it seems that a lot of fans are disappointed with the new art style, which seems slightly deformed compared to the previous shows’.

Personally, the new art style didn’t bother me. I loved The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker even though its art style faced similar complaints for being too “kiddie”. And if we’re going to pick bones here, Batman: The Animated Series features one of the most serious depictions of the world’s greatest detective and you’ll be hardpressed to find anyone complaining about the show even though its art style contains certain caricatured elements, such as ridiculously large and angular jaws that are remniscent of old golden age comic strips, which looked shoddy because they need to be produced fast due to a newspaper’s tight deadlines.

What about you? Did you like the new Ben 10: Omniverse art style or not? Feel free to discuss it in the comments or in the Toonbarn forums.

Thats b/c its kid link and it worked . This. . . this doesnt work with Ben10 though. . even though it’s funny it doesnt really go with the aliens etc. It’s fine to me if they made it cartoony. . but this is way too cartoony. Ben almost looks like shaggy and this is cartoonier than scooby-doo. if it doesnt bother you then w/e but for me it doesnt work with it. Now if it went back to the original Ben 10 as a kid then, it would have been fine. Like with Wind Waker. And Batman the animated series? Replace that with The Brave and the bold. . you cant really say anything about B:Animated series. . it worked well with it.

The new style is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
Karen Macías (@blackcatKaren) March 29, 2012

this is HORRIBLE! Ben 1o: alien force & ultimate was SOM MUCH BETTER i hate the new scooby doo design…. THUMBS DOWN:( Ben looks like he’s 10 kevin is an emo and gwen well.. she’s not so changed..
XxXxX March 31, 2012

I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously did they change it just to try something new? Because its not working for me at all. If they make a fifth season (I hope they do) I really really hope they change it back to the way it was in alien force and ultimate alien
.... April 1, 2012

The creatores were too lazy to draw… the whole Ben 10 franchise had detailed drawing, now a sudden change to cartoony style, I’m NOT happy. The art has lost its spark…
red robin April 1, 2012

i hate the new style as i said before the new styloe will kill the franchise just like the Second season of the American Dragon Jake Long did as well. To go from a beeautiiful animation in previous seasons to a uglier cartoonish one never works and it never will
Dace Falar April 2, 2012

That is just a travesty. The canon ends with Ultimate Alien folks.
Jerry April 2, 2012

Go back to the drawing board
CRAAAAAPPPPP!!!!!~ April 3, 2012

I HATE THE NEW LOOK!! just looking at how crap the Ben 10 animation looks makes me wonder how much ill be repulsed by the look of the aliens with the new art style. TIP to creates of new series he does not look 17 which hes supposed to be and if the art style doesn’t change back to the great detailed style that we love, you will lose mannnnnyyyyy viewers, like ME!!!.

marcus April 3, 2012

if you did not know that the script somehow resembles nigahiga then you are truly stupid. period.
bountyhunter98 April 4, 2012

oh my gosh change the style back. I thought this was a spoof when I saw the commercial.
i am disappoint. April 7, 2012

If this really is the art style, I will not watch it. Good bye, favorite tv show.
Bullshyt April 8, 2012

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Wtf r yah doing change it back no one wants to watch this crap
Jhon April 12, 2012

I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His Body look soooo Slim and look at his Omnitrix, looks more like a stupid watch, his hair looks like he hasn’t combed it for centuries!!! And look at that! Is that the new circus costume he’s wearing?
michael April 12, 2012

its alright. i loved alienforce and especially UA but now this is not good. man of action couldve done better. i personally wouldve loved it if they made the omniverse series generator rex style. wouldnt make sense since GR has a better look and has a much more advanced look. come on this is just plain sad. i seriously expected more.
Tyler April 13, 2012

I don’t care about the graphics so shut up losers because if you think of all the Ben 10 episodes in all the series’ they’ve had, then you will realize that it doesn’t matter so I was like you at first but looked back like I said to do.
atluri videesa gowtham (chinnu) April 18, 2012

I am a BIG fan of BEN 10 but I feel this art style is too bad as it was not a kind of animation in Ben 10, Ben 10 Alien Force & Ben 10 Ultimate Alien.It also made Ben look as he was too young although he was 16-years old.So, I feel that they have to change to former style of art as many of the BEN 10 fans wanted to do so.
red robin April 18, 2012

@atluri videesa gowtham (chinnu) I do not believe the problem is that Ben looked too young the real problem is that children these days look much OLDER than they should. Ben looks like how a 16 year old would look for the most part. Anyway hey ToonBarn Rob do you know if Generator Rex and Bakugan Mechtimanium Surge are cancelled or just on hiatus?
Ricky April 20, 2012

I hate it the drawing SUCKS
Shadwin April 21, 2012

I don’t have a problem with the style in general, like it said in the main article it is very reminiscent of golden age cartoons, I have a problem with 16y/o Ben’s depiction, he looks alot younger than he is in continuity. The style itself gives a childish appearance to all characters, but they should have worked harder to give the Ben 16y/o character an older appearance, I mean it is set to be after B10UA, he should look atleast as mature as that character, but he kind of looks 12? I think he should look older. Maybe it’s just me, and then again once we see the full series playout of Omniverse, it might be okay…
emir April 27, 2012

This sucks thats all i have to say
Nivedha May 3, 2012

I hate the animation! I made a review on my blog: http://villain-girl.blogspot.in/2012/05/ben-10-omniverse-one-thing-that-broke.html
Danilo May 14, 2012

I hated that style, it sucks I prefer the previous one, is much better
Simone May 17, 2012

I hate the new style with a passion. Ben 10 use to be my favorite show, but I’m not watching Ben 10: Omniverse. I just can’t get passed the graphics. It sucks. I hate to say goodbye to Ben but I’d rather not watch crap than watch it just because it’s Ben. Hopefully the next Ben 10 after Omniverse will revert back to the style I’ve grown to love.
jkelle99 May 19, 2012

I hate the new season of ben omniverse, I liked more in ben 10 alien force and ben 10 AU, was my favorite TV show, I agree with you.
I do not agree with those who say that if this good … OK.
I hate everything … the animation, the omnitrix. to the name of the new season …
I no longer going to see ben 10. and if it is very sad for me and never see him again … maybe if they do it again as before. see him again.
unemployment look on the bright side I live in Mexico, the new season is coming in October … but I am so sad that you or more.
deveria be illegal to change a caricature of drastic so …..

I say goodbye forever ben 10 ………..
BEN10 ADMIN(KID LOG) 502346 May 26, 2012

My dad is a part of the new ben 10 series artwork and I have seen the first episode it is amazing you should look forward to it it’s a great new show.
sad June 12, 2012

I’m a college student and I admit I still loved Ben 10. I use the past tense because I think I’m going to say goodbye here. Now Ben looks 10 again Unless they change it back, they lost me as a viewer
Afortu80 June 13, 2012

I’m really disappointed in the new art for Ben 10 Omniverse. I loved the old style and the story line. I have a feeling I won’t be seeing this new series. If they decide to change it back I will be more than happy to call myself a fan of Ben 10 again!
OZ82 June 13, 2012

If it isn’t broke don’t fix it…meaning if nobody was complaining about the art style there was no need to change it. My major grip was upon seeing Kevin, he looks like some frankenstein monster. Gwen is also very unattractive from the trailer I saw. Ben is supposed to be going on 17 but he looks way younger and acts that way too. If this is the route Omniverse goes, I’ll just be watching Thundercats, Green Lantern, Young Justice and Legend of Korra on Saturdays. It will not be missed.
Moki June 18, 2012

I was super excited to learn there was a new continuation, but when I learned of the art style… it just ruins everything for me. I think the idea is in the right place, but the art style is everything. They’ve been trying to keep the same type of style since the original Ben 10, and changing it now three shows later is just… wrong. Ben seems extremely young even when he’s supposed to look 16, and I just hate it. I won’t be watching Omniverse and refuse to watch anything that may come after it unless they return to the old style. Heck, I don’t even really watch the live action movies because I prefer the way it was originally.
Boma Khan June 21, 2012

Honestly I was excited to know there’s a new Ben 10 sequel. Like most of the fans, I’M TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED with the poor art style. The plot is OK, a lot of us miss the younger Ben and having him back in the series is totally cool. The art style is a real turn down, despite all the good plot and characters. I hope they’ll change it to the Generator Rex art style. That’ll be way cool!
Guy June 28, 2012

everything looks awesome… except for Ben.

He looks too weird and his new hair is (sugar coated) bad
Dylan July 1, 2012

I wish they would change it back to the old art style. I am very sad about this.
Evan July 2, 2012

I absolutely HATE the new artwork. Ugh! It’s cartoonish-ness is on the level of Looney Tunes.

I just wonder how many episodes I can watch before the animation makes my eyes dissolve in their sockets. I’ll still watch it (albeit, not happily) for the sake of knowing what happens to Ben in his future adventures, but…yuck…that art style is just painful to look at. What is the point of changing it? Did the previous artists get fired or something? Did they die? What happened? Why not have the exact same art style as Alien Force and Ultimate Alien?
Ben 10 Fan July 3, 2012

I am really disapointed in the new art style. When I first heard there was a new series of ben 10, I was like OMG YES!!1!111 but then i saw ben and my heart broke. I thought the ben 10 in alien force and UA force looked grown up, hot and on his way to becoming an adult. Now it looks like the cartoonists have compressed his head and starved him for the new shows.
They have lost many long term die hard ben 10 viewers. Although I shall still be a fan of the real ben 10, I can’t say you’ll catch me watching this washed up show.
davidz1000 July 12, 2012

The only reason why the artwork is bad is that the “Man of Action” died before UA was finished. They got a new guy to make Omniverse and the horrible Artwork we see.
Ben Thursday July 15, 2012

I think that almost everybody here that is commenting are stupid, I like the Ben 10 franchise and a true fan wouldn’t give up on Ben 10 just because the artwork is not what you are used to seeing, I like the artwork it makes me think that this series is going to be awesome and funny, so what if Ben looks like he is 10 and Kevin looks like an emo(which is what he is supposed to look like) and Gwen looks ugly(I don’t like Gwens character in any Ben 10 series), it was fun when Ben was 10 so just give the series a chance because I bet it’s gonna be awesome.
Ben 10 omniverse July 17, 2012

I think you’re all crazy Cept for Ben thurs because they need to tO change the style cause 1. To match the omnitrix and 2. Cause they need to change it once and a while besides the first ep is cool funny impressing and awesome. forget about art get more into action!
Daveminga July 18, 2012

I wasn’t aware that man of action died that’s the reason they changed the artwork. They should have found an animator with a closer style. The change is too drastic and I think this will kill the franchise in the end judging by the comments I’m seeing. I hope not Ben 10 is one of the best cartoons ive seen in this day and age. Nothing beats roccos modern life
Men 10 July 21, 2012

I am a true Ben 10 fan and watched it since the first episode, since than it has become one of my favorite shows ever. I am always excited to see a new episode and see all new aliens and watch Ben progress into the man he is today. I’ve saw the preview to the new omniverse show and i am a little disppointed at the art and kevin’s new look but it won’t stop me from watching every single episode and enjoy the new aliens, characters, and the new concept and how the new omnitrix works. Because i’m a Ben 10 fan forever till the end. IT’S HERO TIME!!! So i’ll go along with this new show.
Men 10 July 21, 2012

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!
Steven July 21, 2012

The cartooning is terrible. The new…. a chicken and a lego monster? Sounds like the creators are bored with the franchise and want to see it die!!!
The new Ben looks younger than the original. There was allot of ways to advance the Ben 10 story but this is backwards bad and a failure!
Steven July 21, 2012

Its the cover and the content that brings me and others to this conclusion. A chicken? And a lego monster? Where’s Barney? Need a lavender dinosaur in the mix too? I understand loyalty and that’s great but the creators lost site if their loyalty to the fans. So sad, so bad.
Men 10 July 21, 2012

There might be some bad things about the series like some of the concepts of the new aliens and villains, and how Ben is as skinny as a toothpick, and Kevin goes from the cool guy to a emo looking…guy. But there are also some good concepts like how they’re gonna show flashbacks to 10-year-old Ben to see how he turned out. Also the new charactet Rook is kinda cool. And not all the aliens are bad, like Gravattack, Feedback, and Sasquotch[if you don't know who they are search them on the Ben 10 planet wiki website] and there are still alot more to come, besides Ben won’t have that concept forever.
Men 10 July 21, 2012

If the creators wanted to watch the show die they wouldn’t go threw all this trouble to advertise and bring up our hopes just to burn all down smoke. They woulda ended it ultimate alien.
tykiyah covington July 21, 2012

bad excuse of a art work from you man of action!
tykiyah covington July 21, 2012

you guys ruined ben 10 forever!!
Blaze0127 July 22, 2012

the new artwork makes me a little mad and its not because the fact that it’s bad artwork its because of the fact that Ben is suppose to be growing up and maturing into someone who is for the most part respectable when the show changed the first time to an older Ben his look matched his new attitude but when i look at this artwork all i can think about is how childish this is gonna be. i like Ben 10, always have. but if the new art style is any indication of how he’ll act now then i’m finished with this show
theHPRIC July 25, 2012

I am sorry that man of action died but the art style they choose is just horrible. They also cancelled Thundercats looks like the only show ill be watching is young justice. CN you gotta get your act together
Steven July 25, 2012

Cartoon Network is smoking something illegal. Cancelled the Thundercats? Shame. Adventure time is like animating the drawings of a kindergartener.

The New BEN 10 needs someone with real creativity and a dedication to the concept and story line. There are a lot of somebodies who appear to be bored with their jobs and careers. And some very disconnected executives out of touch with their network and the fans who watch.
Liz July 26, 2012

think they should make omniverse short an go back to the more mature drawings that they had in ultimatle alien and alien force
Ben10fan July 27, 2012

When I saw the new animation for the show I literally though “what the fuck” and almost fell over. They are DESTROYING the show!! I just don’t understand why in the world they would want to take something good and ruin it! I find it very disappointing that this is the direction cartoon network chose for the show. They are going to kill of the show if they use this animation!!
Steven July 28, 2012

Agreed. There are so many ways the story line could unfold and progress.
The new Ben who looks younger than a 10y/o also looks like a bad genetic experiment with cat eyes.
ZemiXylex August 1, 2012

Okey so first of all.. “Man of Action” is not dead, the name refers to a group of people (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle).

Secondly, as an art student and as a fan of the series I really don’t like the new art style. They’ve redesigned it with a younger target audience in mind compared to UA and AF which action and romance wise seemed to be targeted at an older audience, maybe that’s it? They’re trying to change their audience? After all it’s the kids that want the action figures etc.

I’m also worried because Ben’s personality seems to be as childish as the cartoon style, all that personal progression we’ve seen through his teen years appears to have evaporated. Along with the progression of Gwen and Kevin who apparently have been kicked out the series. Well that’s a shame; my two favorite characters with the most interesting powers are gone, just brilliant.

I’m not sure if they are trying to kill it off, experiment a little or squeeze it dry for a little more cash but I really hope once this series is over they’ll either go back and re-animate it or pretend like it never happened and go back to the end on UA. *Fingers crossed*
Raz August 2, 2012

Watched a part of the sneak peek Cartoon Network had on Wes 1 Aug 12. Was very disapointed. Making Kevin look like a thug and Gwen with curves like a Playboy bunny….really? And then getting rid of them?!!! What kind of stupidity is that?
mike August 3, 2012

how ironic it is that ben 10 is suppossd to be growing up but they made the series look more childish. but seriously! wat the heck is this? they shouldve done Generator rex’s style! Now that wouldve been boss. by the way, anyone know wht happened to that show? and did anyone hear how crappy the new theme song is?(shouldve made it like the new tmnt theme song)
nicole August 3, 2012

I was so excited for the new series and as soon as i watched it i was so disappointed and mad! i hate how they changed their art style its like they down graded and i think they just killed it and i also hate how they didn’t pick up after the previous series. I leo didn’t like how they made gwen and kevin so ugly!! and so they’re not in the show! this series is very disappointing and the worst of all the other series!
metheus miller August 4, 2012

I hate the art designs in omniverse. on alien force and ulitmate aleins were better if ben gets a new ultimatrix or omnitrix I really hope they put the the old art designs/ graphics back because the new one is terrible
Fan August 4, 2012

The show was perfect but now its ruined, hope they fix it fast or they will loose their rating.
mark ramirez August 5, 2012

why did they go with this animation?
not to be mean but this animation sucked.the last ben 10 was by far way better
please bring that kind of animation back.
Mal August 5, 2012

Terrible..I had to google it to see if they really changed it. It sucks! It’s like they ripped off the design of Scooby Doo. They need to change it back! Its not enjoyable to watch, the artists got lazyyy.
mike August 7, 2012

i think u are all being dumb. u r all so focused on the art style tht u r forgeting everything Else(cooler aliens and alien styles)plus a combination of all three series and new ruthless villian worse than vilgax and ben 10 and his partner doing some sweet moves(and ben becoming more serious)but u wont watch it becuase it looks different? Ben 10 is all about being different and going against the “flow”. Plus ive noticed all the shows tht look lame usually arent and become popular(ex:Ultimate Spiderman.) Wat happened to the loyal fans? Watch at the series premier before you judge.
Steve August 7, 2012

It is not just the childish art style the preadolescent look of Ben, it is the not so cool aliens, the preschool aliens, the amateurish chicken, legoman, etc. cooler aliens, really what a slam. This is not cooler it is a lazy lack of vision bringing down the franchise.
Akthecelestialsapien August 8, 2012

The new look is just childish and another thing, i think that it is another canon, not the original one ar ben cant team up with his younger self as paradox stated this will cause younger ben’s future to change! I think what they are doing is passing time for making something more explosive
sergio August 8, 2012

i really dont like i dont think i will be watching it
REKS August 9, 2012

God, it’s just awful! let them return the old animation: it is more serious, and the new Ben looks younger and generally it is terrible.
Sofia Ynna August 10, 2012

Its just awful man… If I had the decision to choose what art style for the Ben 10 series I’d chose the AF/UA version because it look more mature and he looks adorable and handsome and I’d rather do a continuation of the series rather than team Ben up with a rookie by-the-book partner
DarkRukia91 August 10, 2012

I saw the sneak peek. . even though the artwork made me CRINGE I gave the story line a chance. All I have to say is NO. Ben acts more. . idk can’t find the word for it but his personality changed a bit. Not only the artwork was bad but I didn’t like how they did the story at all. . .I don’t get why they changed it at all. I do not like the new ben 10.
ted August 12, 2012

the new ben 10′s shet
the storylines’ shet

tara smith August 13, 2012

i just watched the first ep of the new ben ten. well to be honest i watched the first 8 mins, was so disgusted that i couldnt watch anymore. qwen looks like a tramp, kevin looks like a bum/emo, ben looks like a 12 year old. and the eyes have no pupils. awful. just awful. ruined my fav cartoon
NatKa August 13, 2012

I LOVE the new Ben 10 series. And I don’t care if i’m the only one. I’m a loyal Ben 10 fan no matter what. I can’t believe some people start hating it beacouse of how it looks. You people are not TRUE ben 10 fans. I love Ben :3
Sea Eagle August 15, 2012

I was very excited for the new series but after it finished I felt disappointed and disgusted. I HATE THE NEW ART STYLE! it reminds me of a show for 4 year olds. THEY HAVE KILLED THE SHOW! I was looking forward to it picking up from where it left off. Also i liked how ben was in a team with kevin and gwen and they get rid of it. Ben eye look like they had been replaced with massive emeralds, gwen and kevin so ugly!! I AM VERY ANNOYED AND DISAPPOINTED AND I WONT WATCH ANOTHER MINUTE OF IT UNTIL THEY CHANGE IT BACK.
I don’t get why they changed it at all. Even the story line is bad like it was made in one night!

This series is very disappointing and the WORST of ALL the OTHER SERIES!
Vichaphol August 19, 2012

It’s too bad
I won’t watch it
I hate it
I want old Ben 10
Jose August 19, 2012

Ok I am a fan; I have followed all the Ben 10 TV series. If you really are following the alternative series from the alternative time line, there are some things you forgot to look at and that is that the little max is more serious in his kid form in the 2 time lines and he know what it means to be the one to have the Omnitrix. the 12 year old max now is not that smart or intelligent in what he dose even the little max knows he needs help to fight the bad Guys or bad aliens and he my have some disagreements every now and then, but he knows he needs help.

So why is he like that even the latest move of Ben 10: The Destroy All Aliens. He re learns what he needs to do, but I think the move is based on the first Ben 10 TV Series with a little extra if I may say so. Nevertheless it was well don graphics, and story line

One thing I can say of the move Ben 10 Race Against Time is that there are some err on the move, That the Omnitrix if it gets a looked in one of it alien transformation for more than a determinant amount of time it will take over the mind of the user that is not in track with the cartoon story line. But there was an episode were ghost freak tried to take over Ben, but the move was way off the story line.
Monique August 19, 2012

NatKa I’m a true Ben10 fan… but I hate it! I reale love kevin and gwens relationship but… omg it’s… I can’t describe it. They totaly killed them! I hate hate HATE the one who genarate it!
zotokan August 21, 2012

Horrible i totally hate the new style, if this where just for a movie or some kind of spin off, but this do not deserve be the next official season
Anonymous August 22, 2012

Whatever, the first Ben 10 was the best but can’t blame the creators. Most good shows sequels are never as good as their prequels.
Hulk August 31, 2012

ITS MORE LIKE A DOWNGRADE !! and killing it..am a big fan bt if that art continues there gonna loose fans!!! the scooby doo art worked for scooby doo!!

Ben10Love September 10, 2012

I was really disappointed by the new Ben 10, like REALLY disappointed, I’ve always ADORED Ben 10, but the new art style is horrid, and kicking off Kevin and Gwen?! REALLY?! How could they?! I am just so annoyed at that, they were my favourite characters! I adored Ultimate Alien and Alien Force because they were just amazing, with the 3 of them and not to mention the art style it was perfect and I just wish they would have carried that on, because after seeing the preview, I think they’ve lost a dedicated fan I am just so angry at them! I can’t explain!

Anime Junky September 12, 2012

I would understand if this was a reboot of the franchise, some alternate universe but it’s not. All the progress Ben and the team have made up to this point is completely lost. Watching Ben get older and mature, seeing whats in store for his future self. has all been for naught. This has killed the franchise for me.
TheKillShirt September 16, 2012

Such a disaster. After the epic Cthulu-esque battle at the end of Ultimate Alien, it seemed that Ben had finally matured by making a very adult decision in the middle of a tremendous crisis. Now, he’s back to being a total douche, and his new Omnitrix is even less reliable than the one he had when he was little. Really? We still have to put up with the stupid random alien gag? And you got rid of Ben and Gwen? Idiots.

And what’s worse than all that? A Lego alien. Seriously? What a bunch of garbage. I get why they did all this: Ben 10 fans are getting older, and they need the show to be appealing and acceptable for new, younger fans. But this is just wrong.

The one bright spot: his new partner. Cool design, cool weapon, nice dialogue. Just use the bow all the time and be Alien Legolas.
L September 18, 2012

In general, I’m not a huge fan of American cartoons- usually because of the art style (I’m sorry, but it often looks like no one is making any effort)- but I really liked Ben 10′s.

This new art style is horrible; I’m really disappointed.
zappysam September 20, 2012

HO-RRI-BLE
sf1235 September 22, 2012

This is exactly the reason why Americans watch Japanese anime because they don’t pull these idiotic stunts America loses to other countries in pretty much everything
Blue Butterfly September 22, 2012

I don’t like it one bit, why go back in time? I liked the mature Ben. And why get rid of Gwen an Kevin? I liked the dynamic of the three together. I don’t like the art style either. They may just have lost a fan.
rach September 23, 2012

I’m a parent of a Ben 10 fan and have to say it looks awful!!! Really doesn’t make any sense to change it so much!
Justin September 24, 2012

I am not a fan of the new stylistic choices for the cartoon, and I think there are going to loose a lot of fans because of it. We have gotten to know and love the more realistic style for so many years, to suddenly change it really messes with my aesthetic enjoyment of the show.

The older versions of the show had more of a realistic element to it which made the show more enjoyable, believable, and allowed it’s viewers to be more invested in watching the show. Getting the artistic director of “Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated” probably wasn’t the best choice to entice a wider age range of viewers.
Sumit September 26, 2012

Very Poor Art style . I am very disappointed.
cfayfd1672 September 27, 2012

Its awful. No more Ben 10 for me now then
Matt September 27, 2012

It’s terrible… I’m prob too old to be watching cartoons anyway but I really enjoyed the previous 2 series. I doubt I’ll be watching the new series simply because I find it painful to look at.
kobe September 27, 2012

the art style sucks! hate it! why did they even change it?!

(I hate Omniverse!) They them creeps took my hot Gwen and turned her into a dork look, she was dorky all the way but they messed up my Gwen’s hotness. I love my women fictional and non fictional, but god bring my Gwen back to her original sexy 16 year old womanly looking self, as she age into womanhood make her even more hot than before and once my Gwen hit elderly age she should still be hot and sexy looking even in her golden years.

Kevin look great his new look keep that, take away that plumbers watch on his chest.

Ben’s aliens what the f-uck, go back to the original drawings and delete that retarded Lego alien kill it.

Bring back Gwen and Kevin, if Gwen and Kevin must stay at the college make Ben graduate high school early and go live with Julie near Gwen’s location. If Ben’s new partner must tag along bring him, you can make a team of hero’s

Ben10, Kevin, Alien guy, Gwen and Ship Julie can save the world.

It SUCKs!!!!!! Please change it back! It really sucks. Also bring back Kevin and Gwen. When did we go back to the 70s!! It REALLY SUCKS!
Gabriel September 29, 2012

I am 49 and watch this with my son , its something we share and he hates it as well, keeps asking for “Real Ben 10 not little Ben10 ” …This is awful , the art the story … This is on the level of the 1st season .. Not of the level that this show had gotten to … Who ever is writing and drawing this series now obviously doesn’t take it seriously or is in over thier head ! What made Ben 10 so cool was how it reminded me of the old johnny quest with cool art and great stories and blending of Gwen & Kevin and Ben and a seriously solid cast of odd ball characters … Now it’s boring and should b cancelled if this all u got..
codey September 30, 2012

Why, just why! You shouldn’t mess with perfection. Everything was going soo well but somebody had to screw it up.
azimuth October 1, 2012

i think itz awful this totally sucks and should never be on air …………why!!!!!!!!!!!! cartoon network
Evan October 2, 2012

It’s disgustingly, terribly and absolutely grotesque! In comparison to the old art style it’s as if the art direction stayed up for 72 hours and decided to vomit all over the art style of the previous seasons and decided that it would SOMEHOW use less money and creativity to come up with this disgusting farce of an “omniverse”. It’s a pure sign of laziness, and a outright smack in the face to the fans, sprinkled with a crowbar to the skull on top

BACK TO THE OLD STYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luminous October 6, 2012

Its obviously not good, i wonder what the producers wer thinking when they let it pass.
Thada October 9, 2012

the originall Ben ten is perfect and Ben ten aliens force is amazing AND BEN TEN OMNIVERSE IS UGLY AND SCREW!!!
Rhett October 11, 2012

LOL, The Batman:TAS comparison is RIDICULOUS. BTAS looked a million times better than this garbage. I absolutely hate the kiddie direction they went in for Omniverse. It’s awful. The writing has gotten more simple and childish too – just really awful compared to either AF or UA. Young Justice is the only thing I can watch on Sat Mornings now. I really hope the new Thundercats gets renewed (and hopefully they’ll just keep it on Toonami, if toy sales are such an issue).
rama October 17, 2012

no
rama October 17, 2012

No i don’t like the art style.
rama October 17, 2012

the man of action did not die because i saw a page of man of action and he posted it on this october 2012 maybe they did not want him to do the 4th seasons drawing thats why the art work of ben10 omniverse is so bad or they told the man of action to do a new artstyle that is not so good because they wanted to save money and I hate the new style.
Steven October 18, 2012

I hate it. I refuse to watch it. I have been a fan since Ben 10 began. This artwork style and story line is backwards, kindergarten, new characters a chicken and a Lego man? Really?! Something seriously wrong. Where are the original creators? Need someone who cares about what they are doing and care about the series.
john October 20, 2012

This suck really bad echo echo is small fat and chubby why is this so retarded

This show sucks it sucks so bad that they cant even make good ben 10 if you cant make a good ben 10 then just stop
Ian October 20, 2012

I am really dissappointed! The art style is horrible! Ben looks like Shaggy from scooby Doo!! Grandpa max has no eyes and Kevin looked like Shocksquatch! Not only have they RUINED the animation style but they have messed with the legacy too giving Ben new aliens like Feedback when he was a 10??!! WHY!!!?? Ultimate Alien was the pinnacle of all the series and Omniverse is terrible! Such a massive, massive earth shattering shame! WHY!!
lehahiah October 20, 2012

I got to say I hate the new art style it just looks terrible, some have said that it’s the same person that did teen titans well a hell of a lot differerent than teen titans it’s more like symbionic titan but crappy i love symbionic titan, and with the windwaker i loved that style as well the reason this bugs me is probably more so when alien force first came came out i didn’t like it’s art style but this just seems like a rescue ranger thats been stuffed in the microwave

the most annoying thing to me though is the huge 10 at the center of of his shirt and the black and green outfit in the original the outfit was black and white simple as that i don’t like that they use the 10 as a symbol it’s cheesy so is all that green and the omnitrix symbol as a sort of plumbers badge why the hell did they turn gwen into an alien when in ben 10000 episodes from the original series she is shown using powerful magic with the stones that charmcaster and her uncle were looking for they also made gwens powers pink so there is no difference between her and charmcaster(who looked terrible in alienforce)

also in another episode of the ben 10000 episode from the original kevin is just getting out of the null void so he shouldn’t even be able to travel with ben and gwen in alien force

Not to mention the ultamatrix has been completely changed in alien force from what it was in the original ben ten and yes it did exist only in two episodes but yes it existed instead of just evolving the aliens to their full potential it gives new abitilities in some cases which some don’t even make sense spider monkey turns into a gorilla it’s a completely different combat style

but also why they have to make the the omnitrix look more and more like watch, even when ben got the ultamatrix in alienforce i couldn’t take it seriously though because there was all that green around it where it looked more like a toy a high tech piece of equipment
Chris October 24, 2012

I am disappointed not only is the animation bad the story lines are ridiculous. The last episode where a Carnie has a pet that he keeps in a jar and a hippie trying to free him. Not just that, the aliens look, as my six year old put it, lame. If you wanted a animation change why not go with the style from the Ben 10/Generator Rex team up. It was different but cool at the same time. I’ve given up on watching, hopefully they’ll come to their senses when no one watches or buys the toyline.
ben October 25, 2012

this SUcks! not evEn gonnA watch it
Brenda Mariah October 28, 2012

BAD ! I prefer Ben 10 Ultimate Alien ! Omniverse is ugly !
Adam October 29, 2012

I use to look forward to watching ben ten but ben ten omniverse sucks balls with its terible and lasy art style accompanied by an equally terrible and lazy scrypt
Carlos November 1, 2012

absolutely disgusting.
Jeremy smith November 4, 2012

The team titan art style does not fit. Their are far too many plot holes in the stories. Like i just watch the last episode. An alien race just did billions of dollars worth of damage and killed countless people. Since they agreed to live in peace they got off scot-free.
Emmanuel Burnell November 5, 2012

There is nothing wrong with the new style and people are getting carry away by the new change in anmation. AF/UA weren’t all that great either are perfect design wise, i’m glad they didn’t used the GER Rex/Ben 10 crossover animation since it would of made Ben 10 a worser series.
06281958 November 6, 2012

“A worser series” reading your post suspiciously sounds like you or someone you know works for Cartoon Network. But judging by your grammar and spelling I’m convinced my suspicions are correct. You must work for the inane incompetent animators, producers and executives of Cartoon Network. Clearly you are in the vast and ever growing minority that is trying to save the current failed pathetic version of what was a successful animation series.
sharn November 9, 2012

I agree with EVERYONE! What a joke! I am not surprised about the negative comments about omniverse. Ben 10 was witty, humorous, exciting and I looked forward to ever episode – I even enjoyed the repeats! Just like everyone else, I wont be watching. I guess its just a matter of time before these idiots ruin what few good cartoons are left. I thought it was a sick joke because of all the hype leading up to the 1st ep, now I realise the whole network must be thick, and anyone who can actually sit through this crap and actually enjoy it even half as much must be too.. As ben said in a past episode “dont fix something that aint broke”!
Ben 10 Used To Be Good November 10, 2012

I prefer to think of Ben 10 Omniverse as an alternate Ben 10 dimension where everything looks stupid and their reality is childish. Just the same, I won’t be watching this incarnation of Ben 10.

I’m looking forward to this series ending and Ben 10 being reimagined in a better way. Until then, I’ll find something good to watch. (This isn’t it.)
Paul November 10, 2012

I’ve been a Ben fan since it came to cartoon network a few years ago. Omniverse makes me want to cry. Whoever gave the greenlight to this series has no moral compass. To unleash this phoned in piece of garbage onto the world is a crime. The stories are trite and unbelievably predictable, the old aliens look like a joke, the new aliens ARE a joke, and the villains, for the most part, are just plain silly. The high ups involved with this show clearly needed money for their mortgages or mistresses or something. I can honestly say, Omniverse is WORSE THAN NEW COKE!!! Guess that last line shows how old I am, but I do not care, someone, please save this franchise
Luke Gendite November 13, 2012

The only good series was the original one, this one is the shittiest thus far.
maham November 15, 2012

not a good ben and guen and kevin and all the aliens ,,,previous one was good then tis one..

Horrible animation. Horrible plot idea.

so the creater may start thinking on the matter before it gets too late.
Ahmed Reda November 30, 2012

Aymene December 2, 2012

Who even likes this stuff! I agree with everyone this is BAD
Arturo December 6, 2012

I like Ben’s new shirt and hairstyle. However I agree, the new art style is just terrible. Ifbthey wanted to change the art style, why not go with the Generator Rex art style, Ben looked greatin that crossover they had. I don’t personally care about the art style change of The Legend of Zelda since the gameplay was still fun.
ben10 December 14, 2012

This new season is horrible,kevin looks like a big gorilla and ben like a worm,the previous was far better then this one
Aaron December 19, 2012

I cannot watch Omniverse anymore.

1)Why is a dinosaur wearing underwear and a sash on his chest? Why is the dial on the watch not a circle? Why am I seeing old aliens all stupid up?

2) Why does Ben’s alien Big Chill look like a man? She is a maiden just like Gwen. Ben even birthed babies as Big Chill, Big Chill has a vagina just like Julie and Gwen. Honestly I think Big Chill should have a woman’s voice since she is a maiden.

3) Why did you turn my drooling hot Gwen into a nerd looking chic? She was once the hottest woman in the series yet had the nerd feel only in her head.

4) Get rid of stupid kid Ben 10 and that stupid alien from the plumbers as Ben’s partner in Omniverse, bring back Julie, Kevin and Gwen.

5) LOSE THAT OMNIVERSE SHIT DESIGN!
Chaz Walker December 29, 2012

Hate it! There was no reason to change anything other than advance the story line. They ruined a good thing. And the jumping back and forth is confusing. I also miss Gwen and Kevin–plus where’s Ship and Julie?
sara December 31, 2012

I seriously agree. They butchered the series. Especially, the art style. I understand the reasoning behind it but it didn’t work and they are seriously losing fans from it. The boy I babysit, absolutely loved Ben 10, seriously he has so much Ben 10 merchandise and if he could dress as Ben 10 every day, he would. But even he does not like the new series. I put it on for him once and he looked at me like what is this, this is not Ben 10. Hech even I loved the series, but now Ben looks like he is five, Kevin looks super creepy, and Grandpa Max’s eyes are just strange. You cannot change iconic characters so drastically and expect people to be happy with that, especially for your loyal fans. Two thumbs down. I hope they change the art style back, if not then this is the end for Ben 10. Evil aliens, mutants, and robots couldn’t take down Ben 10 but this new art style did.
AT January 6, 2013

So Maybe this series is a horrible dream, where Ben is now a permanent Christmas Elf Hybrid Ceature. I hate the dead eyes. This last episode was totally off story. I mean, Ben 10 is reverted back to age 11 but his watch that is bio-attached doesn’t fit. I use to look forward to watching Ben 10 and eating my GrapeFruit and raisan toast Breakfast. At least, there’s still Korra and the Clone Wars
AT January 6, 2013

I do like the new “Rook” character. The Rest is just a dumber down version of a great animated cartoon series
AT January 7, 2013

What can be done, except stop watching this insult to anyone who is an animation fan. I guess the owners of the show decided they don’t need the fan base they have extablished. My fix has been to stop watching the new Ben 10 and began watching the original episodes on Boomarang.
AT January 9, 2013

R.I.P. Ben 10, I removed from my shows to record on my dvr
BEN10-OMNIVERSE_RULES January 18, 2013

well they are not gonna change the art-style for you losers cuz they are making season 2 and 3 maybe the next ben 10 besides i think this art style is way cooler than the previos one besides he is a cartoon he doesnt have to look real
Red Robin January 19, 2013

Shut it you Omniverse fan, Omniverse sucks beyond imagination and they need to go back to the previous artwork. They’re destroying all of the Dwayne McDuffie set up in the previous seasons. Omniverse needs to die because it’s slowly killing the Franchise.
Nilmur January 19, 2013

Very interesting I like the story and the new characters and aliens but with all the characters that already existed they made very bad looking. I wouldn’t be suprised if they redid the entire series with just a better art style for the older characters and aliens cause thats the only thing dumbed down older characters and aliens
jose January 21, 2013

to say the truth im actually 11 im turning 12 and i really used to love ben ten i would always make paper omnitrixs butt ever sense the new series came out i just don’t get it why did he get deformed and why did the aliens grow spider monkey has white hair and to say it now i thought i was the number one fan butt i feel like im not crazy for that show i would always think im ben ten i would slap my wrist i even did it in sixth grade ounce it was embarrassing and the thing i hate the most is they don’t look the same and the voices are different so who ever is the author you just lost your number one crazy fan bye
rein January 23, 2013

I used to watch ben10 and liked it! Since ben10 to alien force . Alien isn’t that bad after all. Thanks for all the effort of making new episodes but seriously I think ben 10 Omniverse art style is not a good idea.
Jennifer January 28, 2013

I hate it so much I just can’t watch it! Everything is bad and suck !!!
Mitko February 3, 2013

It’s not just the animation! Look at these lame and stupid episodes! :X :X
I don’t know what to say… I’ll still watch Ben 10, but It’s not like before… no cool and realistic scenes, no cool new aliens… bad guys are looking so lame… 11-year old Ben is more stupid than 10-year old Ben from the original series…
I want a cool animated Ben 10 series with action! Not a STUPID and LAME comedy!
And I’m sure that I’m not the only one who wants that!
And to all the creators of Ben 10:
YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! Ben 10 will lose its rating and Cartoon Network can cancel it!
Ralfy February 3, 2013

To me Ben 10 Omniverse art style is not good. Form growing up with Ben 10 then Ben 10 Unlamented Alien, this series don’t have a place. I don’t understand if it’s in the same world, or in a world of it’s own? With this style it make them look weird too. Gwen looks like a dork and they don’t match up with the world i knew Ben 10 was.
Jubjub February 7, 2013

i love the original series, Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. i loved what Glenn and Dwayne did to AF and UA but i hate what Derrick did to Omniverse. i know its for kids, but it was such a drastic change and the storyline is really stupid? and Gwen did not have freckles and i wonder why do they plan on making her have some now. she looks weird now. Kevin just looks sooooooooo bad, he and Ben used to be my ultimate favourites and i loved what Glenn and Dwayne did to them and Gwen in AF and UA. they didn’t really change the original series’ design but made them more mature. Ben suddenly has this childish attitude in Omniverse and they make Kevin seem like a stupid idiot. i hate what they did to Omniverse and i preferred it if they just leave the art to someone better. i hope they do get a new series and it will take a new turn or something, changing their looks to how it looked like in the original series or so? i don’t want my favourite show to end just because of this drastic change
Jubjub February 7, 2013

AF and UA were had really good designs and i actually understood the storyline too. it was a mature turn but i thought it turned out good. i can barely understand Omniverse at all and i don’t understand why they changed it sooooooo badly. i love the voice actors but i preferred it if Dee Bradley Baker voiced the aliens and Yuri voicing Ben and Albedo and all like in AF and UA. the new voices just don’t seem to fit some aliens
Galoo February 15, 2013

I see a lot of hate here and though I do agree with the comments saying that Omniverse has an unfortunate character design and weird animation, I do see what the creators were going for. You see, most of the fans are getting older and will want to continue watching 16 year old Ben’s adventures. But the channel always needs a resupply, a new groups of viewers. Obviously, that target group is the kids who are the same age that people were who started watching the first Ben10 series back in 2005. That explains the more cartoony art style and switching back and forth between “old” and young Ben in Omniverse.
The older fans will be excited to watch age 16 Ben10′s adventures, and the 11 year old Ben will win the younger viewers’ heart, just like the first Ben10 did.
Rocket Schwarz February 17, 2013

I just prefer to see the characters I have grown to love as their former selves. Kevin looks like a creepy drug addict that has not slept for weeks. Ben looks like he suffering side effects from the Omnitrix, maybe a radiation leak of some sort. Grandpa looks like his soul had been sucked from him and that he may have been exposed to the Mumps. Gwenn looks like she has stumbled into the wrong cartoon, perhaps as she was chasing ghosts with Scooby and the gang.
I agree that it may have been created to grab the attention of the younger veiwers but to this girl it’s just plain “YUCKY”!
AT February 18, 2013

I totally agree with you Rocket. I had said that ben in this series, never was cured from the elf curse he and Gwen got when they went to the nortn pole, I have actually stop watching the new Ben 10. It’s awful, luckily the new justice league and star wars the clone wars is still great to watch on a Saturday Morning.
Hex February 21, 2013

I just started watching omniverse (as in right now I am watching it) took a brrak from Ben 10 for a while and I’m currently about 7 mins into ep 1 and I want to stop. I thought something was up as I clicked play then I saw grown up Ben, Gwen and Kev and wanted to throw up. What the hell is this fugly ass animation? I can’t even watch further. It’s so bad.
RICO☆GOLDSTAR February 27, 2013

They have ruined the storyline. Ben looks like Smeagol from LOTR, Grandpa Tennyson looks like a Japanese Sumo, Gwen looks worse than Lindsay Lohan, and Kevin looks like a deformed Goth Gorilla. The sound effect changes stink too. Gwen’s Annodite energy powers and magic spells used to sound intimidating and powerful, NOW she sounds like Tinkerbell on steroids. The only character they didnt manage to screw up was RATH.
anger March 16, 2013

I am so angry with how it looks i hate it I just it looks like some one threw up on them and now they look like they are mutated why would any one do that. When they first made it, it looked better. Little kids are not happy with it I was happy when it looked better I was a little kid when it first all started I loved it. Now all shows are so crappy they need to fix it or I will not watch it IT IS ALL SO HORRIBLE I REALLY DO HOPE THEY MAKE A NEW ONE THAT IS BETTER CUZ NO THIS IS NOT DOIN IT FOR ME.
Steve March 16, 2013

Watching Ben 10 Ultimate Alien and comparing it to Omniverse. From art work to story line Omniverse is PERVERSE! Disgusting on every level. There was an incredible possible progression for Ben 10. We had seen glimpses of the future with Ben, Gwen, Max even Ben with a his son Ken. So many ways to continue the franchise. What a complete disjointed, dysfunctional disappointing mess Omniverse is. FAILURE with a F minus.
anthony March 17, 2013

I haven’t watched a single crappy episode since the change. Time for a retro-reboot. Make Omniverse a bad memory we all refuse to talk about.
Priscilla-Ann March 17, 2013

Personally I prefer the way they did the animation in the previous series. I’m not a fan of this one. I have watched a few episodes. I didn’t like the way Gwen looked in the frog war episode..and I don’t like how they put eye liner on Kevin..sigh..
thenightmarelordj March 21, 2013

Really, I love how everyone’s bitching about how terrible the Omniverse art style is compared to Alien Force/ Ultimate Alien (which let’s face, should have been one show to begin with). Two things: firstly, I actually don’t mind the Omniverse art style; it reminds of Transformers Animated, which is hardly a bad thing. Secondly, and more importantly, let’s take a moment to remember how much shittier the UAF art style was to the original series’. Compare original Ben 10,000 (http://images.wikia.com/ben10/images/f/fe/Future_Ben.jpg) with the Ultimate Alien version (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111004212361/ben10/images/5/53/Ben_10%2C000_UA.png), or Gwen in the original series to the “alternate” ten year old Gwen in “Ben 10,000 Returns”.
Disappointment-Rage!!! March 26, 2013

Why in the first episode they had gwen look like the Ben 10 Alien Force/ Ultimate alien gwen, but later change her appearance. Ben says that college seems to of had an effect on her. You mean her face? How to put people off from going to college. What’s with the new mana sound effect? *twinkle*
Darrel March 29, 2013

Ok ok I don’t want to put a looong comment. I agree with everyone that dislikes the art style I’m fine with the characters but Ben and Kevin….mother of god KEVIN AND BEN LOOKED BETTER IN ULTIMATE ALIEN! I mean look at that creepy, gothic, weird kevin in Omniverse! In Ultimate Alien he looked Muscular and strong and brave(You know what I mean?) and ben looked the same, Brave Strong, Muscular. But in Omniverse, bad

But honestly..I told myself, this is Ben 10 my favorite series in CN. I watched episode 1 online and it was bad. BUT don’t judge it just by watching the first episode! Now I’m in episode 5 I think. I’m addicted to Ben 10 again

But here’s the BIG QUESTION in Ben 10……wait for it………………………..BAM…WHERE THE HECK ARE HIS AMAZING ULTIMATE ALIENS?!?!?!? SOMETIMES I JUST CAN’T TAKE IT THAT HE’S HAVING A HARD TIME FIGHTING HIS ENEMY USING HUMONGOUSAUR AND Y U NO GO ULTIMATE? OR EVEN USING CANNONBOLT? IF I SEE AN ALIEN GO ULTIMATE IN OMNIVERSE, I’M GONNA LOVE BEN 10 OMNIVERSE LIKE I DID IN THE OTHER SERIES.

Sorry for the caps lock

I just don’t like the new Ben ten at all. I loved the other ones when he was a kid and when he was a teen but I just don’t get the omnivers one. The animation really throws me off and makes it hard to enjoy. I mean isn’t he suppose to be older in this one?? But he just look younger like a kid and alot dumber than when he was on even a kid. So my point is if the animation was a lot better then I would love it again but now I don’t even want to watch It anymore.
Chris Franklin April 1, 2013

Personally I’m not a fan of either the new art style or the removal of Gwen and Kevin. And yes it will stop me from watching any new Bens Oh well we had a great run!
aww yeah April 4, 2013

Its look like shit the story line is crap they look like scooby doo gwen looks like ugly fag but in ultimate alien she was hot kevin looks like a drug andict and grampa max is asian and the alians look tike shit and when did they start wering clothes.humungasor omnitrix looks like it can be taken off and how does gwen go to college if she is ben’s age (16) and was still in high school in ultimate alien,and when she goes anadite she changes into that cat costune from Ben 10 when they were 10 years old,its suck dick, when they show ben when he is 11 years old and he has aliens that don’t show up in ben 10 ultimate alian it looks like it was made by some cheap studio in japan it is fucking shit and my 9 year old cousin wouldn’t watch it how did young justice get cancled and ben omnitrix not.fuck!!!

svanur April 6, 2013

the worst thing by far us their eyes
wowwowwow999 April 7, 2013

the new look sucks, and the sound effects r stupid yeah but thats the only problem i have with this show . the story line is more episodic like in the first ben 10 which i like more anyways i just want to see some awsome looking aliens fight eachother which could be done if the art style didnt look like a low budget scooby doo episode.just fix the art and the show will be fine i remember that everyone bitched about the plot holes in alien force and they fixed that right up so why wont they just fix the art style?
Dnh April 11, 2013

I don’t like the new style of the Ben 10 and the sound are stupied but that’s the only problem I have if it only looked like the old Ben ten and the sounds where the same they you’d to be it would be AWSOME
Darren April 14, 2013

Kevin looks a like a full blown retard/pothead, ben just looks…terrible. And gwen is just… ugh. They should have kept things the way they were from Alien Force.
kingazhar April 16, 2013

its cool but not that much
Humangasour April 19, 2013

Ultimate Alien and Alien Force series are thousand times better than Omniverse! New looks of main characters are reallx bad.everybody needs old Ben, old Keven, Gwen and Julie too..! Why can’t producers understand it?
Guy April 19, 2013

I really am upset with the new style of animation. I understand that it may be cheaper to produce and I can appreciate that but the CG style isn’t yet at the same level that the other episodes are done in. If and when a new series were to be made I would like it better if there was a change back to the old style. As a parent I would rather my children be watching something I can watch and not be creeped out by. As said by many the new looks are really bad.
Charm Caster April 20, 2013

I dont like it at all, though I do understand why they did it. With that said I think this style of animation is horrendous. I can only hope that they will change it back in the seasons to come and I do think that a change is possible seeing how this is the third animation change for the Ben 10 series not counting the movies.
omniverse is horrible April 26, 2013

I hate the new art style Kevin looks like he is goth and hasn’t slept in months and he looks weak. Gwen looks like a frog. Ben face is all messed up it looks like the omnitrix messed him up.the sound effects are horrible. I hate it they messed up everything thing even max he looks like he is Chinese
Humangasour April 26, 2013

There are 23 million people live in my country.Most children,teenage boys,teenage girls and also adolescences loved to watch Ben 10, Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien cartoon series. But most of people now hate the new version of Ben 10.Ben 10 Omniverse is a useless cartoon series.Why ‘Omniverse producers’ understand this thing???

Ben tennyson’s new look is sooo justice.and also it not looks like a human.look at his eyes!!! terrible..You guys completely correct..keven is just like a gorilla….

Please producers…cancel this episodes and remake the series using old characters.
Humangasour April 28, 2013

Azmuth’s copy of ultimatrix is so advanced than new omnitrix.! Ultimatrix gives correct transformation what ben needs.but new omnitrix doesn’t do it!
Mounir Mouhadi May 25, 2013

Its made for kids and not for adults thats why you guys dont like it!
brendon June 8, 2013

the new animation is crap they really need to go back to ultimate alien transformation i mean what were they thinking its ok animation but ultimate alien’s was way better and had a better story line
brendon June 8, 2013

i meant to say animation
Alex June 17, 2013

New artwork is terrible. Bring back the old Ben 10
Adam July 6, 2013

The new art style is garbage.. looks like they hired someone who doesn’t know how to make humans characters to do the character designs. I don’t mind the story lines and voice work, but the art is horrible. They need to cancel before it’s too late and do a new series with good art like the other ones in the Ben 10 franchise.. just like Teen Titans Go, which also rapes the original good show it’s supposedly based on.
Ultimate awesome July 26, 2013

The art of big chill and other aliens are terrible it’s not serious and he can’t go ultimate just cancel it its four 5 year olds
spidermonkey August 24, 2013

Gwen is so ugly. As well as everything. Grandpa max has no eyes wtf. Bring back the old ben 10. Its more exciting to watch. Horrible artwork
Elliander September 4, 2013

It is’t the art style that is Bad, it is the way they did it. The lines for faces are of very poor quality, for example. Other animation works that used this style are no comparison. Both wind waker and final fantasy 9 used this style, but at least they could keep facial features consistant from one character to another. The lips and chins, for exqmple, look extra weird when the head is tilted. In one scene Gwen had a flat line for a jaw longer that her head is tall. That isn’t just Bad – it’s creepy.

Also, the lack of any scenery detail is Bad. Ben driving, for example, had nothing but a few abstract lines behind him. Really, even the power puff girls had more going on in the background. It is clear though that they know how to draw scenery because other scenes had good use of it, but going speed racer on us between scenrs just tells me that they are low budget.

Again, there is nothing wrong with the style they are going for, but clearly the animators have no idea what they are doing with it.
Kevin September 18, 2013

just hated it, animation is one aspect, not the worst by the way, but I think they tried to reach their younger audience and dumped us who’d grown with the series. one of the alien is a chicken come on! one of ben’s trasformation is a Lego-man, that sucks, guys (procucers) improve the series plz and give a smarter plot and dialogues
HATE IT September 22, 2013

Muhammad Farhan Uchiha Senju November 2, 2013

I’m 12 years old, just watch ben 10 Omniverse ….the art style sucks more than my drawing…Even my parents say it is bad….What happened to Big Chill?? Eat too many chili fries?? They should bring UA back…Gwen, Ben, Kevin, Grandpa Max and the alien art style real sucks…..Don’t dream doing another series after Omniverse if you all don’t know how to draw and animate a fcking boy ….
Carissa December 1, 2013

Hold up, I am a a person to love the show Ben 10. I love Ben, Kevin, and Gwen however I hate the new season on Ben 10, Ben 10 Omniverse. It does not do any justice to the love of Ben 10 people have developed over time, it sucks because of the graphics, the new plots of the episodes and the way they cut out Kevin and Gwen. And don’t even get me started on the new looks of the characters….*sigh* I wish they would go back to the show I love, not this new “show.”
Renske January 31, 2014

I hate the new art style and seriously why has big chill a BEARD? It was my favorite alien and now he looks ugly, he has babies and a beard then you serious fucked up. Kevin looks like hey i’m kevin do you want some coke Gwen is a nerd and when she ‘has to be’ an anodite she looks like a weirdo with that weird twinkle sound. I love the ben as in AF and UA but this sucks so much like man of action were high when they wrote the script ( sorry for my bad english I’m coming from Holland)
