Awesome adaptation of "RoadKill episode.
- Loved the whole animation stop when Sam said that phrase.
- Dean's VA was better this episode, way better than previously.
- Love the cinematography of this. Some GORGEOUS stuff.

Man, how I wish we would have seen some other great episodes animated (like the Pilot or the plane demon, or the lake ghost). AS it is now anime is rushing through the best seasons way too fast.


I can only hope they extend it to season 3 (the high point of the show, IMO) latter on, although I am not so thrilled about possibility of season4-6 shennanigans being animated...

This was definitely better than the 1st episode, I even got used to Dean's voice actor yet I still think Dean in this anime (so far) is just a shadow compared to the Dean in the tv series, he is not nearly as awesome. and yeah, the faces of the characters are weird, I see no emotion. even so I enjoyed this first 2 episodes.

I agree far better than the first episode and yeah Dean doesn't seem as awesome. As i saw it, in the TV series Dean is mostly the star. I don't know but Sam is hardly inspiring. Maybe is just because Dean's actor is better.
Maybe that's what is missing. In the TV series Dean may seem more awesome because his actor has an advantage over the other actor and not because of the script. In animation the difference between actors disappears with the resold of him not looking much different than Sam.

Hmm it wasn't creepy or have much action like the original at all :\
And yeah i am disappointed what they did with Deans character his not cool, awesome and funny but Samu is like Sam. This is still enjoyable though.

Wow, this board is so empty. But then again, not many people seem to be watching the show...

Yeah, I only watched a few episodes of the live-action show, and it does seem like they changed/screwed up the characterizations.

But it's okay so far, I guess. Kind of generic, though.

It was a creat episode. I'm someone that has never seen the original Series and so i don't really know any changes that where made. The conclusen that she was all the time the ghost was a sursprise for me and i really liked it. The animations and drawingstyle is really fitting for this series.

A good episode that worked well as the second episode seeing as it's used to just explain everything. I liked the animation in this one, a lot of it was really beautiful.

Loved this episode, though the slight differences to the actual tv show made it a change of pace, I suppose. Gonna stick around and keep watching, I love the animation.

Right into seson two, eh?
I kinda like that.
The single 'case' episodes were the best part of Supernatural.

the single case files were the best part of supernatural made me go all nostalgic going to back to this again, i felt this episode was better adapted than the first, I really don't like Dean as a character though, doesn't seem right at all, he has so much charisma in the series, in this he comes across kinda goofy :/

This was far better than the first episode, glad they decided to adapt this episode, as it was one of my favorites from the second season. Wasn't better than the original but this was a worthwhile adaptation, if only for the scene where Molly found out the truth & "time stopped". That was a great scene, especially love how the tear hits the snowflake to get time to start moving, effective way to showcase her letting go. & the guy doing Dean was better this episode.

whoops, i watched this before the TV episode so i was spoiled, lol.

the TV version didn't include the wife being the second villain so there's that. and the TV version was sadder as well.

Shame that Jensen isn't voicing Dean but the VA is doing a pretty good job and ofc all those jokes he throws around, typical Dean :D

Missouri's character design was way cooler in the live-action. I'm disappointed.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!
