As Dean and Sam Winchester (Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki) prepare to embark on their sixth season of "Supernatural", there's something brewing in Japan.

The Japanese division of Warner Bros. has a website up for "Supernatural: The Animation", a 22-episode series from Madhouse ("Batman: Gotham Knight", "Death Note").

According to the Anime News Network:

"The anime project will not only remake the best episodes from the live-action version, but also depict original episodes not seen in the live-action version.

Those original episodes will include prologues of the Winchester brothers’ childhood, anime-only enemies, and episodes featuring secondary characters from the live-action version."

Warner Home Video is aiming to start releasing these in Japan on January 12, 2011. No word yet on the U.S. release.

The Winchester universe just got a bit bigger...

Supernatural: The Anime Comes Home on Blu-ray
by Alyse Wax
April 5, 2011

Last year, we told you about an anime series based on the "Supernatural" television series. The cartoon did well in Japan, and will finally be available on blu-ray and DVD here in the States.

The 22-episode series:

"revisits the Winchester brothers' journey down the backroads of America as they search for clues to their father's disappearance, hunt down the supernatural in all its unearthly forms, and enter into the unexpected mystery of their destinies.

The 'Supernatural' anime episodes mirror the story arc of the series' first two seasons, providing supplemental stories ranging from prequels and spin-offs to untold tales that fit within the Supernatural mythology."

Jared Padalecki voices his character Sam for all 22 episodes, and co-star Jensen Ackles voices select episodes of the series as his character, Dean.

Extras on the discs include:

- featurettes on turning the live-action series into anime
- live-action introductions to each episode
- interviews with Padalecki, Ackles, and series creator Eric Kripke

Supernatural: The Anime will be available for purchase on July 26th, 2011.
