Supernatural: The Animation is a Japanese anime series developed by Warner Bros. Japan, based on the popular live-action TV show titled Supernatural. The original show was created by Eric Kripke and has been broadcasted since 2005 in the United States of America. The anime adaptation premiered in Japan in February 2011, and it features most of the main characters from the original series, portrayed in anime-style animation.

Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles who played the on-screen Winchester brothers in the live-action Supernatural series, reprise their roles in the animated adaptation as Sam and Dean Winchester, respectively. Jared Padalecki's character, Sam Winchester, is a young and ambitious hunter who is also in pursuit of revenge. On the other hand, Dean Winchester, played by Jensen Ackles, is a witty and sarcastic hunter who is the older brother of Sam.

The anime adaptation of the series takes on a different art style from the live-action version as it uses anime-style' animation to convey the storylines that were already established in the original show. The anime was produced for a Japanese audience, and it successfully preserved many of the elements from the original while giving it an anime flair. The anime version tried to replicate the same level of grittiness and horror aspects that we saw in the live-action version of the series, but in a more stylized manner.

The series largely follows the same plot as the original show, with each episode following the Winchester brothers as they hunt various supernatural beings such as ghosts, demons, and monsters. The overarching narrative remains consistent throughout, where the brothers search for a way to defeat the demon that killed their mother decades ago. Along the way, they also tackle various other supernatural threats that put them at odds against the agents of Heaven and Hell.

Apart from Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, the anime series also features other familiar faces from the original show. Misha Collins reprises his role as the Angel of the Lord, Castiel, while Mark Sheppard portrays the demon Crowley. Samantha Ferris also returns to voice Ellen Harvelle, the owner of a hunter bar called The Roadhouse, and Jim Beaver voices the Winchester's friend, Bobby Singer.

The anime adaptation also includes characters that were not featured in the original series. Cindy Sampson voices Lisa Braeden, a romantic interest of Dean Winchester, Mark Pellegrino is the voice for Lucifer, one of the four Archangels, and Kurt Fuller voices an original character named Zachariah, an agent of Heaven.

Throughout the series, Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, and the rest of the cast delivered excellent performances, which made the characters feel like their live-action counterparts. The show's animation also stood out as it encapsulated the style and atmosphere of the original series, with each episode boasting of impressive action sequences and dark, suspenseful motifs.

Supernatural: The Animation closely follows the plot of the original series, with some minor alterations and additional elements that were exclusive to the anime adaptation. It also features stand-alone episodes that have no relation to the overarching plot. These stand-alone episodes were often used to explore different areas of the Supernatural universe while giving fans of the series a chance to see familiar characters in self-contained stories.

Overall, Supernatural: The Animation was a solid adaptation of the live-action series, which effectively captured the essence and mood of the original while offering fans a new visual perspective on their favorite characters. Though it didn't enjoy the same levels of attention that the live-action series did, it still proved to be a thrilling watch for fans of the Supernatural franchise, who were looking for more content from the world of the Winchester brothers.

Supernatural: The Animation is a series that ran for 1 seasons (22 episodes) between July 26, 2011 and on Warner Bros. Japan
