Supernatural the Animation - English or Japanese?

Mar 27, 2011 18:13



I've started watching Supernatural the Animation and am liking it so far. Of course, I've only seen the first 3 episodes, all of which are based on episodes from the original, live-action series. Are there any other Supernatural fans out there who have given the anime a try?

For the curious, check out the WB Japanese site for the anime. And you can watch the anime on YouTube.

Usually, it's easy for me to decide which version of an anime to watch: I watch the Japanese with English subtitles because it's always felt more authentic to me. And I pick up random Japanese words and phrases, which were oodles of fun to surprise my Japanese coworker with back when I was at Penn... Ohayoo gozaimasu!

Anyways, I'm having a dilemma now, because they got Jared to voice Sam for all the English dubbed episodes (Jensen only voiced Dean in the last 2 of 22 episodes), and I love hearing his voice from animated Sam. It's just so cute how good he is at doing anime. Makes me wonder if he watches it in his spare time ^_^

Also, I've taken on the project of creating the anime episode pages on the Supernatural Wiki, so I figure I should go with the English version for quotes, etc. But then I watched the Japanese version of the first episode and there were other differences--slight line changes, and even once a dropped line. Aargh! Don't know what to do! Anybody else having this dilemma? Or am I crazy?
