The American TV series "Supernatural" by Warner Bros. is being adapted into an anime. The US series has been running since 2004, with Season 6 announced for this upcoming fall. Originally, the series was supposed to end with the finale of Season 5. Contrary to all rumors, Season 6 is said to return to the roots of the series, similar to Season 1.
The series follows brothers Sam and Dean Winchester as they travel across America and investigate supernatural phenomena. Primarily, the family business of hunting demons takes center stage. Later in the series, the storyline peaks with the incorporation of angel mythology, the battle between the archangel Michael and his brother Lucifer, and the looming apocalypse.
As studio Madhouse (Death Note, Paprika, Vampire Hunter D, Summer Wars) announced, this will be the first animated series based on a foreign live-action TV series.
The series will initially consist of 22 episodes and will be released on DVD and Blu-ray starting January 12.
In addition to adapting the most popular episodes of the US series, new, previously unreleased material will also be included.
