I'll admit I'm a Ben 10 fan. I enjoyed the original and Alien Force (and to a slightly lesser extent Ultimate Alien) so when I found out that the mind behind the awesome Transformers Animated was doing the fourth series, Omniverse I wanted to see if it's going to live up to its hype.

From what I saw in the sneak peek it's like the show's on the good road. Having Gwen and Kevin be minor characters is a damn good move since they kinda wore out their welcome with me. Plus Ben might be getting less egotistical and act more like a hero.Rook is going to interesting to see how he acts on the show, but so far he seems cool.

Having 10 or 11 year Ben have a little bit to play each episode is an odd choice but given how divided the fandom is on whenever Ben should be a kid or a teen, this seems like a happy medium. The voice work is phenomenal as to be expected from a series Cartoon Network wants to hype as much as it can. Hearing David Kaye and Bummer Robbieson is a treat to the ears.

If there's a fault I have, it's that the art design is going to take some getting used to and of course the writers might make Ben a superbrat again, but I'm willing to give this show a chance. Anything is better than lameass Digon and the need to undo any character development just to please diehard OS fans(looking at you Charmcaster and Argit!)

I'll give the first episode a 8.1 out of 10. After the death of Thundercats this show is CN's big shining star. Let's hope it doesn't suck.(hint hint Redikai, Squirrel Boy and The Problem Solverz)
