Whoa, I was not expecting this at all. I love the Tv show. I'm not so sure I'm going to love the Anime...But since its MadHouse I'll give it a try.
Hopefully it turns out good. A animated version of Sam and Dean is a must see.

What? Definitely didn't see this coming, I love the series. Just, please, no Sam + Dean fanservice :-X This will turn out either as complete disaster or as f*cking awesome.

Supernatural definitely has many elements which will translate decently into anime. Bishies, wangsting, monster-of-the-week, more wangsting, BL fodder, etc. I can easily see the Japanese audience lapping it up, particularly them fangirls.

Artemis Fowl anime where?! =x
Haha, yeah. It will definitely fit right in.

An Artemis Fowl anime would be beautiful.

Artemis Fowl anime would kick so much freaking ass.

They are just taking notice of how big and important the worldwide anime industry has become. These are good moves, we can just hope that they don't fuck it up.

BTW did you all know that Dragon Age will be getting it's respective anime adapation? It will definitely be another movie, like with the other EA Games (Dante's Inferno and Dead Space.) So EA has become aware of this as well. It's a good market so why not take advantage of it?

Which also means that Warner Bros or whoever have no faith in their own American cartoon producer/studio. Har har.

Madhouse, you should do something else instead!

Heh.

I guess Madhouse have realised that they are completely out of touch with Otaku in Japan, so are now relying heavily on Western franchises and like Marvel superheroes and this, along with things that appeal to western audiences in general such as zombies (Highschool of the Dead, anyone?) in order to get sales and profits from international sales and licences to prevent them from going bust.

first it's Dragon Age: Origins becoming a anime then it's Supernatural, and here's come another one:

Crackdown 2 (anybody play the first one) is getting a anime tie-in

Does anybody think western franchises into anime is becoming a new trend?

Like all of us are amazed by Japanese culture, they can also be amazed by our culture... I see no problem with that, except the extinction of their fabulous original work!!!

But I'll check this out anyway, I saw a few episodes and the story seemed interesting and with madhouse involved you know it will be good !

And I've heard some news about how more and more people on japan chose western culture over their tradition, there are more and more western style weddings and stuff...

Do you know what I find amusing. The Japanese consider "Supernatural" drama. Drama in Japan equals soap-opera.

We call it a "series" like it's a much different thing.

Lol.

I welcome this btw, if there was great irl slash to this now there will be more.

Sort of want. I'm not a fan of the TV series myself but the Japanese anime industry moving to and treading on different territory is an intriguing notion.

Now if this succeeds, I would cross my fingers for a Gossip Girl anime.

Animated Castiel, Sam and Dean? It sounds interesting enough, though as a huge fan of the TV series I am somewhat skeptical but am still going to watch it and see how it goes. Animated NCIS next anyone? lol

Yep, and it's performing so badly that the editor of noitaminA is going to shave his head.

Even Kobato sold poorly, and that was a CLAMP series. CLAMP series shouldn't be losing to Kuchu Buranko and Miracle Train sales-wise. They just shouldn't.

I actually like Supernatural...though I currently refuse to watch the newest season. This gives me something to look forward to related to Supernatural.

I will go ahead and start the debate now. Is this an anime or not?

Since it is being animated in Japan, I believe that makes it anime.

Yeah, there is a lot of awesome anime that deserves to be done first. Why are they doing an american drama? I watched a couple of the episodes of Supernatural (just now) and it's nothing extra special....
But, if done properly I'm sure I'd like it. MADHOUSE is pretty awesome.. the website for the anime seems promising too.

Also, I agree.. it's being made in Japan by MADHOUSE (and also WB.. so that takes away) so I think it's an anime. Unless it's done in English first (or ONLY English) then I think it's a cartoon with anime production help. Like Avatar the last airbender.

You have to watching more than a couple of Episodes, especially from Season 1. The show doesn't get really creative until Season 2 and 3 when it takes a more comical tone to balance out the rather heavy drama of their biblical interpretations.

Ugh, just draw Supernatural in the 1990's version of Spider-man and Batman art style that made American cartoons great. I don't want to troll but Americans don't have faith in their own art style anymore? I see a nice gritty artstyle in Spiderman comics that Warner Bro's could of used to animate this instead of harassing the Japanese with. As a Canadian I should probably kick you american animators awake so you can make use of an art style that you already have to rival with the Japanese Anime art style. You even have the modernized version of it! Just Re-awaken it for animation and to combat with the Anime realm ^^.

Also, just because it gets animated in Japanese Anime artstyle doesn't make it the best. It would make it different or a fake Japanese Anime, but not automatically the best.

Sorry, I always get annoyed when people thing drawing in Anime = instant 5 star quality >.> I'll still watch it though it might not be as great, I'm guessing. It might be great, who knows.
