Supernatural: The Anime Recap - Episode 3 "Home"

   So, last week's episode ended with Sam getting a vision teasing us into this week's  episode. This week we get episode 3- "Home" based on the season 1 episode of the same name.

   Okay. I'll be the first to admit that the first two seasons of Supernatural were a bit all over the place. You could miss an episode or two and not miss anything particularly relevant. However,  the anime seems to be randomly grabbing episodes here and there and somehow managing to create a sequence out of them. I'll give them credit for making it seamless, but if you're following the anime and the live show at the same time, I recommend dumping one or the other before things get confusing.

Supernatural: The Anime Recap - Episode 2 "Roadkill"

Join us this week as we continue recapping the Supernatural anime as we move on to episode two: "Roadkill".

 

So this week we start off with Jared Padalecki telling us that this episode is based on the season 2 episode of the same name "Roadkill", but that this version has a surprise twist at the end. Great, let's see what happens.

Supernatural: The Anime Recap - Episode 1 "The Alter Ego"

Due to the semi-obscure nature of this anime and the fact that people have very mixed reactions to it, I proposed to the Pop Trends crew to allow me to run this feature in order to spare the Supernatural fans the trouble of watching it. Otaku K and Doctor Q have different opinions on it and since I covered it in a previous post, we decided to recap this 22-episode series.

The fact that I own it on DVD didn’t hurt my chances either. Though if you want to follow us by watching, I think YouTube has the full episodes.

So, let’s begin.

Adaptations - The Bizarre Case of Supernatural: The Anime Series

   Adaptations plague us these days. I cringe whenever I hear Hollywood is turning a beloved book, cartoon or even toys I love into a movie or series. Available in all kinds, if you want an adaptation of your favorite show or book in another medium, it probably exists. Most popular shows right now come from other sources. True Blood and The Walking Dead came from a book and a comic book series respectively.  Almost everything  is adapted from something else and every industry does it, from making books into movies to turning TV shows into books.
