SUPERNATURAL anime coming
Friday, June 11, 2010
Yes, you read that right. A 22-episode Supernatural anime series is coming, and it will adapt the first two seasons of the original WB/CW series.
As others have pointed out, the basic plot of Supernatural already kind of sounds like something from anime: two pretty-boy brothers drive around, fighting horrible monsters and trying to save the Earth from becoming a casualty in an endless war between demons and angels. But given that premise, Supernatural is about as un-anime as it could be. It's a very rough, snarky spook show that gets a lot of its power from inserting its horrors into a very recognizable, blue collar American reality.
I'll be interested to see how the show is adapted for animation, but I have a feeling that the Supernatural anime will have about as much in common with its source material as Powerpuff Girls Z did with the original Powerpuff Girls.
