Supernatural Goes Anime:

Cinema Today is reporting that highly acclaimed Japanese anime studio Madhouse is producing a 22 episode season of Supernatural that will cover the first two seasons of the cult CW demon-hunting favourite starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. According to their website, this would be the first overseas drama to ever be developed by a Japanese animation studio.

'Supernatural the Animation' will not only remake episodes of its live-action source, but will also contain original stories never seen before. The new original episodes will focus on the boys' young lives and the adventures of secondary characters. It's coming to Japan in DVD and Blu-ray formats on January 11, 2011. Warned Home Video is behind the release, and Supernatural mastermind Eric Kripke is credited as the anime's creator, which bodes well for those hoping the series is kept firmly in the show's continuity.

EEEEEEEEEEEE! *twirls and hugs sharona1x2! And Kripke is credited! I hope it's good *crosses fingers*

Me too, me too! It's done by the same people who did Night Head Genesis! \o/

[katikat.livejournal.com]

It is, it is. I mean, a company who made Vampire Hunter D or Death Note? A writer who wrote Night Head Genesis? \o/

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? \o/ I'm so curious now. I hope that Kripke will have some say in it. And man, the first show the Japanese ever turned into anime and it's SPN!

One of the better parts of this? English dubbed version of anime with the boys doing the voices.

YAY! I'm really looking forward to this! If they don't mess it up, it's gonna be epic! XD

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they will dub their characters. Hm...

[katikat.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I hope the anime's good. The production company brought out some huge hits.

[katikat.livejournal.com]

For sure. WB's producing it and I bet that they'll bring it to the US markt.

So true. The Japanese really do love Supernatural, don't they? And it's great that the writer of Night Head Genesis will be working on this, NHG is basically the Japanese version of Supernatural, two very co-dependent brothers on the run from the big-bad!
