No, we're not talking about the animated Scoobynatural episode... This Sam and Dean lived in the anime realm.
The Big Picture Did you know that only a few years into its extensive television run, the hit series Supernatural was reimagined as an anime? That's right, the show's popularity spanned all the way to Japan, where Warner Bros. partnered with the Japanese animation studio Madhouse, Inc. to produce Supernatural: The Animation.
Other fan favorites from the live-action counterpart, including "Roadkill," "Home," "Heart" , "Crossroad," and "What Is And What Should Never Be," are condensed into brand-new 20-ish minute episodes that take the plot of the originals and toss them on their heads.
Some episodes of Supernatural: The Anime Series are especially good at connecting seamlessly to the familiar plot of the original series. "Loser," for example, partially follows soldier Jake Talley before the events of "All Hell Breaks Loose, Part 1," giving him some necessary backstory and better tying him into the Winchesters' lives.
But possibly the scariest changes made to the monsters in Supernatural: The Anime is that they, and the series in general, are much more violent. Animation often gives filmmakers the freedom to create grander action sequences, and that certainly rings true here. Though simulated blood was always a part of Supernatural, on the animated series, it feels even more gruesome. No doubt, Supernatural always thrived when it leaned into its horror roots, and The Anime Series doesn't disappoint.
