Ben 10 and Generator Rex Crossover

Visit the site to read clearly the blurb

My interest with this particular animation series is purely the characters drawing, writing, and the stories the writers put out. Okay, the whole thing.  :) I followed the show since Ben 10  was released with a hyper ten-year old Ben and finding the Omnitrix. Through the seasons the writers would reference previous episodes which was good since I thought it expanded the arcs especially Kevin Levin's mysterious and shady past. The latest is Ben 10: Ultimate Alien where Ben is now I think 17 years old here. Of course, the occasional familiar actors taking a voice guest spot is a boot too like Paradox voiced by David McCallum (NCIS fans will know him as Dr. Donald "Duckie" Mallard) Dwight Schultz as Doc Animo and Wil Wheaton (Stand By Me, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Leverage, Criminal Minds etc) as Darkstar. Maybe I should have been doing reviews of the show ages ago. I don't follow Generator Rex but I can see the similarities of the drawing style of the show. Of course, if it came from one prod co, the touch of the animator will crop up. :) I'm totally looking forward to the crossover. 


 Ahhhh, I have to think of questions for the chat.  Here we go again, *calculates world time.*

What makes you feel young again and a tad out of the calendar month?

From Bandai.com
I feel like a kid again when I catch some new animated series offerings that tickle my interest and since I always like storyboards and I enjoy catching Disney's blurb on what goes on the animator's desk, I will always have an inclination to check out any latest animated film or cartoon series.

An animated series gets my two thumbs up if there are story arcs, lots of action, mysteries, character developments, pretty decent cartoon faces, (so far I'm still trying to wrap my head on cubism and other stylized ways of drawing an animated character) and characters where you can empathize more or less. Well, being a grown up and we have that adult, cynical view of things. Lolz. Few animated series can knock that down and I'm hope more animation projects will come along.

So what makes me older? Well, checking the job section and it says. "until age 26." Lolz. I guess if you're thinking of resigning by that time, don't. Tough it up. Develop avenues that you think will assuage the tendrils of burn-out so that another day in the office won't turn out a chore.
