I don't often rewatch anime, but this is one of those few anime that I have rewatched. The anime is a short OVA, with only three episodes, so it's a good 'quick' anime to watch in-between other longer series, or just if a break is needed. The story is a simple concept, but I find that to be best, considering the length of the series. However, despite its simplicity, it is still very sweet and quite 'chill' in my opinion (the content doesn't get you hyped up or anxious). The art style of the animation is also very simple, but rather than take away from ... the overall enjoyment, it adds to it. The music in the series is very calm, and the characters are not especially complex. However, despite the lack of 'action' in the series, there is more of a focus on the characters themselves and their development and growth, and this is something that I hope for in any series I watch. For this series to achieve this in only three episodes is admirable.
Overall, what I've found is that the series as a whole encapsulates and owns a simple and relaxed atmosphere. It doesn't aim to send you on a rollercoaster of emotion, make you stressed or make you laugh. It's just a short and sweet anime you could watch in one sitting and just enjoy.

I quite enjoyed this anime adaptation of the Supernatural series. The series take place over the span of the first two seasons of the original show, including animated remakes of fan-favourite episodes as well as completely new episodes. There were some episodes, such as 'Moonlight' that I found didn't quite work as well, but this could be excused by the difference in episode length (the original series being 40 minute episodes compared with the animated 20 minute episodes).
Jared was the voice of Sam for all 22 episodes of the series, however Jensen only voiced Dean in the final two episodes. Despite this, I found ... the actor who voiced Dean for most of the English dub did a good job.
The fact that the series was animated also allowed for the show to take some of the stories further. Some scenes packed in more extreme action, that the special effects of the live action series wouldn't have been able to achieve. The series could also make the creatures, such as the shapeshifter, look more disturbing.
The style was very suited to the Supernatural vibe and atmosphere, and the animated Sam and Dean were accurate representations of their actor counterparts. However, other characters in the series looked very different from how they appeared in the live action series, such as Jessica who was blonde, but is a redhead in the animated series, as well as the brothers' mother who has long hair in the original series, but short hair in the animation. This, however, does not take from the overall enjoyment of the series.
