Well.. This is my first review. Sorry if I lose your time. I just finished Supernatural The Animation and felt like writing a review about it. It is from these kind of series that you can't say whether it is good or not from seeing only the first episode.
STORY - 8 (Very Good)
To begin with, I should say that the plot surprised me a little bit because I had heard about it from the original TV series and expected to see demons, monsters and bloody things everywhere (which does not bother me anyway). It was far better than this, though. But there is something
...
strange - if there are hell creatures (devils and demons), there should be some heavenly creatures to oppose them (gods and angels) or things like that.
However, I really loved the other part of the plot. The two brothers who always tried to save each other no matter what. Their dad who pretended to be the tough guy or something. The stories of the people who had supernatural powers. I think each was unique and yet all had something in common. I really love this kind of plot: a character get to know other people who are in the same situation, have the same problems etc. That made me cry at times while watching the anime.
ART - 8 (Very Good)
To be honest, the art is not my type. And that was expected because this isn't exactly the Japanese's style but it is drawn well.
Some scenes were really cold (though it may be normal for a horror) and kind of freezed (ahh.. I can not really describe it).
But the bloody scenes can bit the crap out of you. Ever since I watched Another I got interested in horror anime because, you know, everything looks awesome and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more realistic than a feature film (though it sounds strange). So I loved that part! ^^
Sound - 7,5 (Pretty Good) / 5,5 (Likeable)
Uhmm.. I really couldn't believe they used Bethoven's "Ode to Joy" and in what scenes :D. That was one of the few things that made me laugh in these series. Anyway, if we are talking about the OSTs - they are not so bad it just lacks variety. By the way, I love the ending theme. Here - 5
About the voice acting: I spend a month or two searching for Japanese dub and English sub (and that is why I stopped watching the anime for a while) because I really hate watching anime and hearing anything but Japanese language. Believe me, Japanese voice actors are the best (after Dante Basco... but that is another story). Here - 10 (if in Japanese dub) / 6 (in English)
Character - 9 (Great)
I think there is nothing special in the main chracters. Not only them did the Yellow-Eyed torment. On the other hand, it looks like these two brothers were to be the main chracters because of the tight bond between them. In these series I liked Dean the most. Also, I was happy that the anime did not turn on Sam and Dean only - eveybody had his story and the end of each character was different in its own way.
Enjoyment - 10 (Outstanding)
I really enjoyed this anime. It made me think about so many things. I even may give an eye to the TV series. It is no accident that the series are popular. Most of it is considered well. The relationship between Sam, Dean and their father really made me think over my life (huhhh.. I sound like a granny). I liked that reality. It is great to have someone ready to do everything in order to keep you safe, isn’t it?
Overall - 8,8 (Awesome)
In conclusion, the best points of Supernatural The Animation are definitely the story full of unexpected situations and the bloody scenes. I was thrilled the most by the last episodes. Everything happens really fast then.
This anime made me feel an otaku! I just couldn't stop watching it every day until the last episode :)
