Warner Bros. Japan has announced the American suspense-drama Supernatural will be receiving a 22-episode anime tie-in, titled "Supernatural the Animation", which will launch in January 2011. The series will contain never-before-seen animation and will cover the first two seasons of the show. No word yet on if or when the series will be ported to America.
The studio producing this will be MADHOUSE. The first season will be twenty-two episodes covering the first two seasons of the original, remaking some episodes and adding new ones to include the brothers' childhood, focus on secondary characters, and anime-only enemies.
Yuya Uchida (Soul Eater's Dr. Franken Stein, Naruto Shippūden's Rinji) will dub the role of Sam, while Hiroki Touchi (Trinity Blood's Abel Nightroad, Bokurano's Kokkpelli) will dub the role of Dean. Both actors dubbed these same roles for the live-action version in Japanese. Source
You can see some of these actors work on Supernatural Singing Dead or Alive from 3.16 No Rest For The Wicked.
At the Rising Con Spain 2010, Jensen and Jared confirmed the project and that they'd seen and approved the artwork for Sam and Dean. They also said they would voice the first couple of English language episodes.
Jensen talks about meeting Yuya Uchida and Hiroki Touchi who voice Sam and Dean in Japan by Nitoj2.
The Winchester brothers (Sam and Dean) will be designed to look like the original actual actors (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki). Sub characters: e.g. John, Bobby, Mary, Jessica etc. will be designed in a completely new way to give fresh impression. Enemies (Creatures, Demon and Ghosts) will be given a cool design taking full advantage of Japanese anime expression.
More news on the Supernatural the Animation front. Warner Bros. has begun streaming a new 34-second trailer on the anime's web site. To add to that, it's been confirmed that Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, Sam and Dean in the live-action series, will be dubbing the first two episodes into English.
