----------------------------------------
Another quite straightforward adaptation of another Supernatural episode, "Home".


The flashbacks incorporated quite nicely and I am relieved that the scenes retain their power. Supernatural for some reason translates VERY well into anime series.


The only drawback was the change in design of certain surprise character(out of two surprise characters for those who never saw the tv show). Long hair fits her more....


Visuals, soundtrack and cinematogrpahy remain top-notch. Some serious effort went into this.

A the episode with there mother. It was quite well made into anime form but i don't get why they are making the same staff in anime form.
Couldn't they do a few new stories? I mean what is the reason of seeing the anime if everything is the same as the series?

No offense,
but isn't it too easy to ward off the evil spirit? just by their mother's power and some charms.
I know it's just mere poltergeist, not a demon. But then, if grand exorcism isn't needed, then why didn't Missouri do the exorcism in the first place? She seems tough enough

PS. I don't watch the original

That was much better than the previous episodes imo, except the end, again it was rushed and i don't like how much of it is changed, but ehhh it can't be helped considering the time differences...
And yeah i hope to see original episodes as well, this is kinda pointless..

Well in the TV show it was mentioned that the poltergeist was very powerful than normal ones.

This anime is underrated. Why aren't there any good fansubs out there doing this show?

Its a poltergeist attracted there by a demon.

Demons might be immortal and have a lot of more strength, intellect and power, but Dead overall have a lot of power in this show too. Certain ghosts, poltergeists and etc, can't be exorcised or even detected if they do not want to be detected. The only SURE way of getting rid of deceased person's presence is to burn the body with salt. In this case it was also not possible as their mother was cremated by demon and the Poltergeist had no connection to the real world.

Some of stronger ghosts have been portrayed to have reality warping powers.

Also its generally accepted fact that its VERY hard to get rid of things demon's presence brings into real world. Exorcism might have done nothing good.(heck there have been the cases in show where even burning the bodies of deceased did not do anything to the ghost)

So in a sense, it took one ghostly presence to take down other.

QFT.

Also,their mother looked hotter than in the original(at least hotter than her older version).Overall,so far the chicks in the show have all been pretty cute.

Meh, the start was quite good, but there's a few things that doesn't make sense, like, the seer walks in to the house and confirms that there's actually two spirits in the house, but doesn't do anything about it.. And then they guard the house because Sam has a feeling that it isn't over.. Well of course it isn't...
I know the episodes are half the length of the episodes in the real series, but this one was a little too rushed imo.

again for the time they have it seemed to get a good adaptation don't get me wrong it had a lot missing, but you get the jist... its the first anime where I have seen the live tv show beforehand, so its amazing what details you know are missing xD

also didn't like missouri's character design at all!

Man, I really dislike their version of Missouri. The final scene just isn't the same without the "I could smack you, John Winchester", line. Anyway, decent episode I guess. I'm not particularly bothered that we haven't gotten to any of the original material yet but I am interested in how this series will fare when they don't have to condense a 45 minute show into 22 minutes.

yes, actually. interestingly the women in SPN aren't good looking, for the most part. it's very strange imo.

feeling like this episode came too early, episode 3 and all.

and again feeling the fact that not a lot had been explained, their whole mom doing the dirty job, and the fact her spirit stayed there and all.

in fact, it might because i watched the TV series too long time ago and doesn't remember anything lol, but i have the feeling their's father doesn't supposed to be here.
