Jared dubbed 'all' episodes but Jensen only dubbed select ones?
I'm confused... ...Oh well, looking forward to checking the show out. |

Maybe it was too expensive for Jensen to be on the whole time? (which would be odd, considering its Warner Brothers.) Severe scheduling conflicts? Anyway, if the situation is what it sounds like it means, then there'll probably be some sound-alike for the character in the "non-select" episodes.
Have never cared to get into the series, but having seen the trailers for the animation series and the original series itself highlighted on Rob Bricken's Topless Robot Blog, this definitely has my interest piqued. |

Surprised they care that much about Japanese tracks, considering this is a spin-off of an American show. Maybe they're hoping to attract casual anime fans who don't watch Supernatural with this release?

This is good news for Supernatural fans who may be interested in the anime series. I had picked up the first Japanese blu-ray, but had not gotten around to watching it yet. (It had English dubs on it as well.)
Hopefully the crossover potential will be good for sales. I'm reminded of Witchblade and how fans of the comics (apparently) help drive sales for that title. Glad to see Warner thinking about a larger audience! |

I believe Jensen only dubbed the last two episodes or so. The rest of the episodes are dubbed by another guy who is pretty comparable. I've been watching Supernatural since the first episode 6 years ago and when I previewed the first episode, the V.A. for Dean is pretty good. Sounds pretty close so it didn't bother me at all.
I'm pretty excited for this. I've been debating on importing this the past several weeks. I figured it would probably make it over here eventually but I was getting too impatient. Hopefully all the extras make it over this way. I hope they keep it "Supernatural: The Animation" though because "The Anime Series" looks so lame, imo. EDIT: According to the press release, it looks like all of the extras should be there and sadly "The Anime Series" logo isn't going anywhere. |

This was aimed at the Japanese market. The U.S. release is a bonus. |

The VA for dean is fine, but the only reason that i can see they aren't using jensen is is if he just didn't want to. I mean i don't blame him, if you've ever watched a behind the scenes of people dubbing it's hard work, especially if your not even used to it. You can tell that jared isn't good at it since his words often don't sync up with the lips.
Anyway whether it's the dub or the sub i can't get through 2 minutes of the show without busting out laughing at the way they made dean look, he looks like a freaking pedophile. |

I would speculate it's more about money than VA work, since he has VA experience playing Robin in the WB feature Batman: Under The Red Hood (recommended, by the way). Last year was to be the last of Supernatural in the US, but apparently enough new and crisp $100 bills in a suitcase was enough to get both actors back into the roles, which was why you see Sam's haircut change vastly in the closing scenes of the final episode: they re-shot it all. I haven't been keeping up with the series as I've just decided to buy the entire series on DVD. This anime series will be set right along with the rest of it given this is truly one of the best television series to come out in quite some time, an opinion that's just not my own. EDIT: Fixed Batman title. Hey, give me a break. Just watched it yesterday, after all. Last edited by PetrifiedJello on Mon Apr 04, 2011 1:15 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Pretty sure he's used to it, since he has done voice work before in Batman:Under the Red Hood as The Red Hood, and he was in the Tron: Evolution video game. And even live-action actors need to do ADR sometimes, which I would imagine would be harder than dubbing for anime, with its simple mouth movements. |

I watched episode 1 dubbed, very disappointed. Dean's face looks like he's surprised or some sort of joker. Plus the voice actor they used did not sound like the dean from the show at all.

Wait, what? Last I checked, Ackles did voice Dean in the anime... |

So.. any opinions from people who don't care what the characters look/sound like and judge it by itself? I'll be watching it subbed either-way.
