The best episodes of the series are "Secrets", "Back for Vengeance", The purple lighting arc, "Perfect Day" and the Negative 10 arc.
I also liked the Ben 10000 episodes especially since Greg Wisemen (the creator of Young Justice: very good show by the way) wrote those episodes. He also wrote Under Wrap.
If you haven't seen this show yet I would honestly recommend it. Please don't watch that horrible reboot it is nothing more then a poor excuse for a Ben 10 series and just a show which is just made to sell toys.
The intro will forever be legendary. The voice acting was great. The music really matched whatever tone or atmosphere it was in. The animation is solid considering the time it came out in. The facial expressions were perfect. The writing was solid and funny. The aliens were really cool. Ben's and Gwen's dynamic is hilarious. Positive messages.
Now onto to the cons. The story has some inconsistencies but gets better with each season. There are issues and minor flaws with somewhat of a lazy writing. With villians suddenly appearing wherever Ben goes sometimes for their own motives and not to get the Omnitrix. Those are the cons but this a pretty well rounded kids show.
Overall a semi enjoyable series. Most kids probably will find this likable but it's definitely a hit or miss for most adults who are pretty critical.
Memorable: Yes (Nostalgia) Rewatchable: Unlikely..
So what about Ben 10? Well I really like its energy, each episode goes at a great pace and there is a lot of spirit. The animation is colourful and quite detailed, while the theme song love it or hate it is pretty good too. The story lines are predictable on occasions and the characters have their annoying moments, but they do have their interest points, plus the writing is funny and energetic. The voice acting is also solid.
All in all, not a bad show, not outstanding but I was expecting worse. However if you want something more mature and clever, which is probably the case with some people here, watch Ben 10: Alien Force. 8/10 Bethany Cox
