The CW’s Supernatural is an American horror drama that has been around since 2005 and has just wrapped up its fifth season. Starring Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki as Dean and Sam Winchester, Supernatural tells the story of the dynamic duo traveling the country slaying demons, investigating ghost sightings, saving lives and, of course, saving the world.

Well, looks like the series has grabbed some attention overseas, because a Japanese anime for the series is in the works! The renowned anime production company MADHOUSE is said to be taking on the project, and it looks like Supernatural creator, Eric Kripke, will also be collaborating with the company. The anime will run a twenty-two episode season, covering episodes from season one and two of the live action.

To be released on Blu-Ray and DVD, the first two episodes will begin shipping on January 12th, 2011. Episodes three to twelve will ship on February 2nd as “Box 1.” “Box 2,” featuring episodes thirteen to twenty-two will ship on April 6th.

The animated series will not only cover episodes from the actual series but will also have new episodes with anime-only content. This project marks a milestone for anime, as it is the world’s first anime produced by a Japanese company to be based off of an overseas television drama series.

Personally, I am absolutely stoked for this! These DVD sets will definitely be going on my purchase list for next year. If you haven’t watched Supernatural, I highly recommend that you do so! It is such a good series! Action, comedy, romance and lots and lots of drama! Check out this video of funny moments from season one and two of the live action below:

I just realized that this might be really scary to watch. Supernatural is already scary enough, but being a Japanese anime, I’m sure I’ll have to watch this in broad daylight.

no way! i love supernatural. this is gonna be awesome. my friend will freak when she hears this. she likes her wincest.

LOL. Wincest… Oh, dear. I didn’t even think about that! Let the fan girls go wild!!

Haha that reminds me of that episode with the fan girl writing about Wincest. It’s funny because it happens a lot in real life. I’ve come across a few communities that write about it. Lol.

“This isn’t right, Sam!” “Then I don’t want it to be right...” HAHAHAHAHHAA. Wincest references in the show are hilarious. They make such a good acting duo…

No I haven’t. But turning that into an anime may just get crazyyy.


OMO,.. didn’t expect this,.. O_o
one of my all time favorite series,!!!DEAN!!!
waah,.. my beloved Jensen Ackles!!,..
this is gonna be awesome,.!!!!

LOVE THE WINCHESTER BROTHERS!


oooo interesting - i remember a friend who was in love with the show
i remember it was really creepy lol so to put it in anime form would work out really well


I have never even watched this show…


I love that show to death. It’s a like a the-whole-family-must-watch type deal in my house XD
Anime would be nice but I really hope they stay true to the characters.


I always wanted to watch Supernatural, but always missed it because of my work and then finally got stuck up with Ghost Whisper which is right after Supernatural and pretty fun too. Anyways, this anime seems cool ^__^


Wahh! I never thought I’d read Supernatural on here. I love that show! This is definitely going on my wishlist. I hope it does well so they do the other seasons too.

I’ve been noticing a recent trend is to make anime/manga versions of popular media. I hope the influence grows so we get to see more animated versions.
