Anime. Supernatural and Dragon Age, that is.

Quite a coincidence, but these two bits of news came out at practically the same time. First off, Warner Japan will be doing a 22 episode series that covers the first two seasons of Supernatural. They'll be teaming up with Japanese studio Madhouse and will be releasing it on Blu-ray and DVD in January 2011. More info can be found here and the

Kind of scared here.... I like Supernatural the way it is. Though I love my anime, I'm quite sure Supernatural would not translate well. I'm not sure I'd like to see the characters janpan-ized (Okay, that's not really a word...)

I saw the trailers to the Wolverine and Iron man anime and wasn't very taken with the idea.

I'm a bit hesitant about the idea too, though I can't help feeling curious about how it'll turn out. But then, I doubt I'll see it over here since it's more for a Japanese audience.

And there's Wolverine and Iron Man anime? Man, I've been living under a rock ;p Are they targeted at an American or Japanese audience? And on a somewhat related note, did you know that Jensen is doing voice work for a Batman animated movie?

That's what BT is for. Or youtube. Or filesharing. :D Yeah, I said I probably wasn't going to touch it, but after a discussion with Nina, my fandom conscience, I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt. She had a point that western media usually bastardizes originally Japanese movies and shows (and let's be honest, the outcome isn't usually that great). Now we'll see what it's like the other way round, may be good, who knows.

Wolverine:

Iron Man:I'd say Iron Man looks kind of snazzy, but maybe that's only because I've never really been a fan of the original and because we don't Actually see Tony's face in the trailer

Thanks for the vids! I have to agree with you about Wolverine, he has a very recognizable look and this version looks nowhere like that.

I hadn't really noticed the change in their voices until you pointed it out, but yeah, between the season 1 pilot and a season 5 ep, man that's a really huge difference.

Plus, the increased alcohol comsumption (especially on Dean's part) probaby did its thing, too.
And probably the fairly regular strangling they get when going up against demons and various other monsters, poor things

Talking about voices and the Supernatural anime, I went hunting for a Japanese dub of Supernatural. I found this hilarious vid of Sam and Dean singing "Dead Or Alive" in various languages. Yes, in Japanese too ;p
