Tuesday Tease: A Quick Glimpse into the SUPERNATURAL Anime

Posted by mistergroonk in Animation, Anime, Television on August 10, 2010

Synopsis
The Winchester boys finally get a chance to fight demons without budgetary constraints.

What We Learned:
Thirty-four seconds is not enough.

Why We’re Gonna Watch:
SUPERNATURAL is a guilty pleasure. Watching what is essentially The Hardy Boys with Demons grow and flourish over the years has been a treat. It makes us wonder where the Nancy Drew with Ghosts counterpart has been hiding. Unless that’s what Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been all along.

When’s it coming?

Warner Home Video will ship Supernatural the Animation on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan in two boxes on January 12 and April 6, 2011.

SUPERNATURAL Anime is a Go, How Long Until Sam and Dean Fight “Naughty Tentacles”?

Posted by mistergroonk in Anime, Only in Japan, Television on July 1, 2010

It’s Thursday and we’re missing Supernatural.

Yuya Uchida (Soul Eater’s Dr. Franken Stein, Naruto ShippÅ«den’s Rinji) will dub the role of Sam, while Hiroki Touchi (Trinity Blood’s Abel Nightroad, Bokurano’s Kokkpelli) will dub the role of Dean. Both actors dubbed these same roles for the live-action version in Japanese.

Also, we haven’t talked anime in a while. It’s nice to solve a problem of two birds with one stone.

At the Rising Con Spain 2010, Jensen and Jared confirmed the project and that they’d seen and approved the artwork for Sam and Dean. They also said they would voice the first couple of English language episodes.

The Winchester brothers (Sam and Dean) will be designed to look like the original actual actors (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki). Sub characters: e.g. John, Bobby, Mary, Jessica etc. will be designed in a completely new way to give fresh impression. Enemies (Creatures, Demon and Ghosts) will be given a cool design taking full advantage of Japanese anime expression.

When’s it coming?
January 2011.
